No
10. List your reason(s) for leaving your current guild or the last raiding guild you were a member of.
Moved back to Burning Legion to play with friends on ally toons
11. Do you know any current Elysium members? If so, what is your relationship to them?
Xerocool, long time friend. We have raided together for a long time.
12. Why are you applying to Elysium?
To pwn Arthas... in the long run. To raid and have fun and gain respect on Burning Legion as a l33t healer. Also because Xerocool says you guys are fun n cool.
13.
Please list character name(s) and class(es) of any close friends,
relatives or guildies who are in the process of or plan on applying to
Elysium. Will you consider joining Elysium even if your friend,
relative or guildie's application is declined?
Rakete, Xerocool tells me you already accepted him.
14. If you are interested in raiding, describe things you enjoy about raiding.
I like being on vent working as a team and especially the accomplishment of raid progression. Oh and healing, cause I am good at it.
15. If you are interested in raiding, describe things you don't enjoy about raiding.
Wiping more than once for stupid reasons. Waiting for 20 ppl who are afk for 20 minutes +.
16. Please provide us with an account of your experience with raiding in WoW.
Raided MC and BWL as holy pally and mage. During BC I was really into arenas, I only raided a little on my warrior. Wrath brought me back to raiding.
17. If you are interested in raiding, and based on the information you have learned in the post on Guild Organization, do you think you would be a better fit for our Reserve Division or for our Raiding Division (Elite/Vanguard)?
Raiding for sure, Elite or Vanguard would be my goal.
18.
Elysium currently raids 25-man instances from 8pm to 12am server
time every Tuesday and Thursday, as well as from 8pm "until we're
done" every Friday. If you are interested in the Raiding Division,
would you be able to attend those three nights 80% of the time or more?
Thursday and Friday, and Tuesday night after 10pm. I dunno if that would get me to 80%+ or not but it should get me close.
19.
To allow for better raid composition or to help distribute loot where
it will be most useful, are you willing to occasionally sit out raids
while remaining available to fill-in if a spot opens up mid-raid?
Sure, I am pretty laid back about that. As a healer I usually find that I get a spot somewhere anyway.
20.
Do you forsee any changes in your availability in the future, such as a
new work schedule or school, that would reduce the number of raids you
can attend or require you to leave raids before they are over?
Nope. I can raid any night but Tuesday (I can't start until 10pm on Tuesday). Thurs - Sunday are best for me.
21.
Some classes can fill multiple roles (tank / dps / heal). If that's
the case for your class, which role(s) do you enjoy the most, and which
role(s) do you not enjoy so much? Why?
I miss my pally b/c I enjoyed healing, tanking or dps. As a priest I can knock out decent DPS as shadow and I have fun with that. I have always been best as heals though so I enjoy it the most.
Really, healing is just so much more involved and requires more skill. DPS gets old to me... spamming the same rotation over and over and over, then occasionally moving so not to stand in something.
22.
Do you have the ability to provide your own Flask for nights we are
working on new content? This can sometimes be as many as twelve Flasks
per week.
Sure, I'll pay for my own, np.
23.
Would you be inclined to visit the guild forums on a daily basis to
stay in touch with current guild news, announcements and discussion, as
well as to contribute your own input?
Prolly not daily but a couple times a week.
24. Do you have Ventrilo installed and tested to be working properly?
Yep
25. Do you have a working headset microphone configured to work with Ventrilo using a "push-to-talk" button?
I have an awesome headset and yah one of my mouse buttons is my push-to-talk
26. Do you speak English fluently?
No hablo espanol pero muy pequito.Y si yo hablo engles!
Yes I do.
27. Do you frequently experience high latency, disconnects, client crashes, choppy frame rates?
Nope. Decent DSL, usually 120-150 ms. Phenom II X2 550 @ 3.6Hgz, 4GB DDR2-800, 2xMSI 512MB 4850 (crossfire)
28. List the addons you use for raiding.
Lotz: Omen, DBM, Xpearl, Quartz, recount, decursive and some others, cant remember right now
29.
What are your overall plans for Wrath of the Lich King? What specific
goals have you set for yourself to reach before the release of the next
expansion? Any other characters you plan on leveling / gearing up?
Achievements, titles, professions, etc.
Kill Arthas. Possibly lvl my DK, but really just for jacking around on. Wanna get my priest full T9 w/e. Twilight Vanquisher, and a few other of the decent raiding titles.
I'm done with pvp/arena I think. Ive done everything, titles, 2k+, geared out multiple toons in arena/pvp gear. I just wanna raid.
30. Anything else you feel we should know about you?
I suck at WoW. Xerocool is my gay lover. Rakete was adopted.
I am a Network Engineer for Continental Airlines and I travel a lot. It doesn't usually interfere with my raiding but you never know. I am also working on my CCIE so I may have to take a break from raiding a month or two before my test which isn't scheduled until April 2009.
