http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/sylvanas/Foreverfotm/simple

5. What are your current talents and why did you choose them?
Playing frost atm but looking at going fire once I get better gear.

lvl 15:
Presence of mind, small dps increase and great for getting of a spell with a cast time while moving.
Blazing speed is also a great talent for fights that requires me to move fast out of something or get to a place fast.

lvl 30:
Temporal shield, Dmg taken is healed back up, great defensive CD thats off the global CD, so no dps loss when using it.

lvl 45:
The lvl 45 talents does somewhat the same thing, I use Ring of frost as its a great aoe CC.

lvl 60:
Also defensive talents that all works different, Greater invic is a 90% dmg reduction, Cauterize heals up to 50% instead of killing me on a killing blow, Cold snap heals 30% and resets the CD on Ice block.
All 3 can be used on different fights.

lvl 75:
Nether tempest, gives frostfire bolt proccs(brainfreeze proccs) alot more then Frost bomb. So im using Nether tempest, but Frost bomb does sick aoe dmg so its great for fights with alot of mobs.

lvl 90:
Invocation, 15%+ spell dmg no need to explain why I use this

6. Tell us what you know about the class and specc you play.
*Spell rotation OR spell priority for your main specc
Spell priority:

Level 90 talent(Invocation, use it before a boss pull, and refresh it every 1 min. unless there are less then 15 sec left of the fight then you lose dps by applying the buff.

Frozen orb, Gives loads of fingers of frost proccs, those hard hitting ice lances.

Mage bomb, Nether tempest or Frost bomb depending on the fight

Frostfire bolt with brain freeze

Frostbolt to 3 stacks of debuff*

Ice lance with fingers of frost

Frostbolt

Pop icy veins, time warp, Mirror image, and trinkets as indicated by fight mecahnics and common sense.

*The 3 most important stats for your class:
Ill list 6
Intellect > hit/expertise(exp gives mages 1 hit) > haste > crit to 28% > mastery > more crit

7. When would you be available to raid with us?
I play almost every day, but I dont want to raid more then 2-3 times a week as I have a fulltime jobb a girlfriend and friends to spend time with I also like to keep Saturdays open, to spend it together with friends etc.

8. Do you experience slowdowns, lag or disconnects while raiding?
I have a good computer and a stable connection. So no ofc it happends once in a while, as with everyone.

9. Tell us about your previous raiding experience if you raided in

Vanilla WoW:
I did not play in vanilla.

Burning Crusade:
I started to play mid BC so I didnt experience any raids that ware top tier, but I did raid ZA and Kara with my guild at the end of BC.

WotLK:
The biggest part of raiding ive done is in wotlk, everything listed is progress while it was top tier.

Naxx 10, 25 cleared. OS10, 252D. Malygos 10-25.
Ulduar 10 cleared - Algalon, 25 11/14.
ToC 10 HC Tribute to skill, 25 normal cleared.
ICC 10 cleared with like 4-5 on HC cant remember, 25 HC 9/12.
ICC is ware I was promoted to an officer and started raid leading the progression grp in my guid

Cataclysm:
Cataclysm is ware my guild ended up dying at the end of the expantion.
I continued to raid lead the prgression grp in T11, we cleared all the 3 raids on normal pretty fast and started on HC. But some core players in the progression grp started to get bored with HCs so they stopped signing for raids. we ended up only killing 1 of the T11 bosses on HC.

Before firelands came live both of the guilds leaders had stopped playing, so leading it was taken care of by myself and 2 others. but we didnt have enough good ppl to run a progression grp as I wish to do, so I ended up leading the social casual grp wich was a horrible setback for a progression raid leader.
So as I didnt rly want to raid with that grp and I did have a few stressing months ahead of me to finnish my education I decided to take a break from raiding.

I did LFR DS, and I pugged 1 Normal DW kill to get the weapon for pvp.

MoP:
So far ive only done LFR as ive been finnishing my education and been busy buying an appartment for me and my GF to move together. Now all this is done so I want to get back into the game, back to raiding.

10. Do you have any previous MMORPG experience?
I havent played any other mmo’s then wow.

11. What are your previous guild(s) and why did you leave them?
Well all the riaidn I listed above is done with the same guild
(Northern Crusaders, Shadowsong Alliance) that I was a member in since Late BC, Officer and progression raid leader In ICC and T11 raids.
I ended up leaving the guild and the server right before MoP as none of the players I used to enjoy playing with played anymore.

12. What do you expect in terms of progress? Do you want to do heroic modes?
I do expect Normal to be cleared atleast, and any HC bosses is just a bonus But progression isnt important if im not having fun, so aslong as im having fun im ok with whatever progression we have, unless its very very bad

13. What else do you hope to find in our guild?
I hope to find a group of likeminded ppl that play this game because they enjoy it, and to progress in raids together as a team.

14. Is there anything else you would like to add?

Well I can say a bit more about myself.
My name is Christian and im from Norway. I like to look at myself as a nice and helpfull person. I live together with my girlfriend, and I have a fulltime job as a Powerline technician.
I play this game because I enjoy it as it is.

I have some pvp experience aswell with close to 3000 arenas played, got 2300 experience in arena and RBGs. got 2.3k in 5v5 the very first season I rly focused on arena back in Wotlk on my warrior so im pretty proud of that

Im sure you have noticed that I dont have the same gear lvl as you guys, But gear is easy to get and I hope you can look past that and bring the experienced player (me) not the gear and I have some missing enchants, but this will all be fixed right away if I get to start raiding normal’s. I dont rly see the point of buying expencive enchants when im only playing LFR atm.
oh and im most likely changing to Troll, to bring a little more dps with the racials

well I think that’s all, Im sorry for any typos and bad spelling. English isnt my main language.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Hello Foreverfotm,
thanks for your application! We’ll have a reply for you by this Friday evening. Stay tuned.

[Irya]

Hi again Foreverfotm,

your application is very good and you seem like a nice person!

We have discussed your application and we would love to have you in the guild, however for the sake of our raiders we cannot disregard the gear issue. The coming week may very well be our last farm run before we head on to heroic modes, if we would take you in our fixed group we might have to change that plan - something I know many wouldn’t be happy with.

Because of this I could only offer you social membership right now until your gear is the approperiate level. I hope you understand!

If you are interested, whisper Serafina, Marisacruz, Xantyr or me for an invite.

[Brozerk]

Well im not gonna lie, thats not what I hoped for. But as an old progression raid leader I do understand you completly.
What I fear about joining as a social now is that im going to end up playing the loot lottery in LFR only difference is that im on a different server :P, and you guys will only get further ahead of me on gear. So what im looking at is to maybe start doing normal mode at the start of 5.4 in the Siege of orgrimmar?
Or do you guys run som kind of alt runs I could raid in?
I guess what im saying is that id like to join if there is possible to get into raiding, as thats what I rly want. I dont want to pay to transfer only to be stuck with LFR again if you know what I mean

---

Gonna edit the last part a bit.

I guess what im saying is that id like to join if there is possible to get into raiding at some point, even if I have to work to earn my spot. as thats what I rly want :). I dont want to pay to transfer only to be stuck with LFR again if you know what I mean.

[Irya]

Hi again,
I understand your concerns. Transferring server is a big deal even without the gear gap issue.

We don’t have any alt runs at this point, I know that some of our guildies have been PUGing normal modes - it could be that Draenor is a better server for that. What I can say is that we do progress a little slower than most guilds since we don’t use voice chat. And as you know we only raid twice per week, so it’s not like we will rush ahead at light speed.

There are many uncertainties. How much farming will we do, how fast will we progress in heroic modes, how long will it take you to gear up - it wouldn’t be constructive to keep the slot open for several weeks, we are after all recruiting because we need someone to join us right now.

I can’t tell you what to do, it’s definitely a risk to take. Best of luck with your decision! I sent you a PM with my battle-tag in case you have more questions.
