What is your main spec? (Provide an armoury talent calculator link or WoWhead.com if possible).
|
Holy http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#sxAzgMbsVu0tgdxGzub
I have tried a few different specs and have found this to be the optimum raiding spec. Compared to a holy / ret spec it gives much more versatility as 5% extra healing is amazing, Divine Sacrifice is pretty much required for end game content as most fights involve heavy raid wide damage, also 6% damage reduction (doesn't need explanation), extra time on sacred shield with a 2 min cooldown on BoP |
|
Primary/Secondary Professions and their skill
|
Mining and Jewelcrafting (with a good few epic gems) both 450...thinking of swapping mining for either BS or Enchanting, but I like mining as a way to make some money |
|
Do you have any off-spec gear? (ignore for classes that don't have offspecs)
|
I have both dps and prot gear of a lower quality to my holy gear (about naxx25 - ToC 25) because i have always preferred holy and only use an other spec for dailies or hcs. |
|
How much do you play WoW at the moment?
|
Weekdays I have school during the morning and into the afternoon but i usually still play 4-6 hours weekdays and weekends about 10 hours a day. |
|
Our raid times are Sunday->Thursday 19.45->23.00, are you able to fit there at least 3 times per week?
|
These times are perfect for me which is one of the reasons i applied to this guild rather than another. |
|
Previous guilds and/or servers... tell us why you left them or what else happened
|
Started playing wow at a young age (too young for serious raiding) and leveled up quite slowly on an alliance hunter where i was a friend of someone in a casual guild. I got to level 60 around 2 weeks before TBC came out and managed to get a run in ZG and MC with help from my friend. I cant remember for the life of me what the guild was called.
When TBC was released I immediately made a BElf pala and level her to about level 50 when i had a break from WoW for about 3 months. When i got back from the break i joined a guild which my friend had just joined called Volkstaat where i leveled up to 70 and as they were slacking healers and got into raiding with them, made lots of friends and generally enjoyed raiding with them.
I stayed in VS all through TBC and through WotLK till Ulduar came out wen I took a short break due to important exams. This meant i missed some important progress time but quickly caught up when i returned. VS was a purely 10man guild and I wanted to move to bigger and better things and i wanted to join a more serious guild.
Then i joined Elysium Fields where a few of u guys were but quite soon after i joined EF merged with High Tempest.
After that i joined Rebound where we downed a number off bosses but over all there was a lot of slack and low attendance. Also there was weak leadership with a number of the officers arguing. I was not enjoying the guild at all so i applied and was accepted to Revelation. Rev was a good guild but a large number of core members have decided to go social and we are seriously struggling to make raids...sometimes only raiding on a Wednesday (if we are lucky) this has meant our TotGC progress has been slow and i am getting fed up with showing for all 5 raid nights and 4/5 being disappointed when it is called.
This is why i am now applying to High Tempest. |
|
Experience in WOTLK raids (and before, if any?). Also mention any raid achievements you have (e.g. Sartharion with 3 drakes up).
|
As i said before i did not do much raiding in Vanilla only a bit of ZG and MC but i really enjoyed it and i guess that was what made me want to start raiding more and more.
During TBC i leveled up my paladin as well as my alliance hunter so it, as well as a break from wow, so it took me a while to get into raiding again when i did i cleared and farmed Karazhan, Maggy, Gruul, a munber of bosses in ZA and Kalecgos in Sunwell with a joint guild effort.
To start WotlK i leveled my paladin and cleared and farmed Naxx 10/25, EoE 10/25, OS10/25 (10 3d, 25 2d). When Ulduar came out i took a break from wow for exams but soon caught up and cleared and farmed Ulduar10/25 13/14. Never killed Yogg but had some low % enrages :(.
Since then I have cleared and farmed ToC 10/25 as well as TotGC10 5/5 and TotGC25 3/5.
I have cleared OS10 3d, OS252d, Ulduar 10 just missing General and Yogg HM, Ulduar 25 FM HM, Kolo HM and all the speed kills.
Also tribute to Mad Skill 10 on the groups first attempt at it. |

All simple and clean, makes it easy to see what is going on in a boss fight...while being very useful as well. |

Computer and connection
|
Brand new PC 3.5GHz Quad-Core 521MB graphics card 6GB RAM
Decent internet connection haven't had serious problems like a lot of people from the UK :D
Only get a problem when there is really bad weather...which isn't that often in the UK ... :S |
|
Do you have a microphone and/or have you used TeamSpeak/Ventrilo in the past? (We use Ventrilo)
|
Yes i have a mic and like to use it...i have used Ventrilo a lot but not teamspeak but im sure i could easily switch and learn how to use it if needed.

|
Is there a special reason for apply to High Tempest instead of another guild?
|
High Tempest has extremely good progress and always seems to clear content in good time. I am looking for a long term spot in a guild who will give me a chance to prove myself and offer me a good raiding spot with a chance to raid on a regular basis. I hope to make some friends and i know High Tempest can offer me a great group of people who are serious when in progression raids but can have a good laugh too. Also as i said earlier your raid times are perfect for me. |
|
Tell us if you have alts, and if you're experienced in playing with them
|
As i previously said I used to raid on my hunter but since then i have leveled a Rogue and a Mage as alts and have raided with them a decent amount at 80 ( although my mage has not been 80 for long she already has toc gear. I enjoy raiding with these characters but they do not compare to my paladin :) |
|
Anything else you'd like to add?
|
Ive probably missed something here but ive spent a long time writing it....if there is anything else i will add to the post...
I'd like to add in advance. Thanks for reading my application, and id also like to add a bit about how my personality is, basically im a very stable player im almost always there, im the prepared type that gives his two cents when needed but also knows how to follow orders. I like to have a good laugh and if you ask me i love challenges. I hate drama tho, and getting involved in it, as far as for myself im not a loot hungering whore, i know when to pass items i know how to speak to the people i need to work together with. I guess that summs up all i wanted to say, id like to say thanks again for reading my application.
