Holy Paladin (41/20/0)
Demo Warlock (7/44/10) - Non-raiding presently beyond Kara; used for farming
|
|
List your professions, why you chose them, and how they are used in your raiding experience.
|
Holy Paladin - Herbalism/Alchemy (Elixirs Master). Beyond the obvious value of having the Redeemer's Alchemist Stone, which takes an already mana efficient class to an even higher level, it enables me to provide my own potions, elixirs and flasks for raiding. It is also a great value-add for the guild in general. Fhina is also maxed for cooking, fishing and of course, first aid. I can fish or farm and cook buff foods instead of relying on the Auction House.
Warlock - Enchanting/Tailoring. She makes Superior Mana Oil and Golden Spellthread for my paladin, allows me to easily acquire enchanting materials, and provides a valuable service for guild members. Cruelladame possesses many popular enchants including Soulfrost, Mongoose, Sunfire, Surefooted and the popular (but rare) PvP enchant, Resilience to Chest. Tailoring patterns include Spellstrike Hood, Battlecast Hood, Girdle of Ruination and Bracers of Havoc (still nice for guild alts). Cruelladame also possesses maxed fishing, cooking and first aid.

If your spec is not a specific end game raiding spec (and you should know what these are for your class), mention why you have deviated from the spec, and what your spec brings to the table.
|
My main is raid specced. My alt is not because my guild was generally short on healers and tanks, not ranged dps; it was safe to spec my warlock for my own amusement. I am one of the few warlocks that can actually enjoy the two piece T5 set bonus, and the spec is more than adequate for questing, instance runs and kara fun runs. |

List your raiding experience, both pre-TBC and for TBC, on all characters you have played.
|
No pre-TBC experience as I didn’t hit 60 until after TBC came out.
Holy Paladin: Kara, Gruul’s, Magtheridon, SSC (6/6), TK (3/4), MH (4/5), BT (4/9), ZA (6/6), Doomwalker
Warlock: My former main, I have raiding experience on my Warlock in Kara, Gruul’s, Magtheridon, SSC (6/6 – Leo Tank), TK (3/4), MH (4/5), BT (2/9), ZA (6/6), Doomwalker. I’ve raided as Demo (experimenting with Leo tanking specs at my GM’s request), Affliction and Destruction specs. My warlock is spell hit capped and has a full fire resist set. Her gear/my ranged dps raiding experience is better suited for T5 content and under, as she has only done rare “fill-ins” for BT/MH and was not eligible for gear. I have no interest in changing mains back to my warlock, but I do think of her as a bit of a value add as she is fairly well geared for an alt.

List guilds you have previously been in, along with an officer from each guild I could contact to talk to about your performance.
|
Tempest on Shandris (now defunct). GM is Darkscatter, but he is away for military training and may not be accessible. The officers staged a coup in his absence, creating a new guild and taking the vast majority of the guild with them. Before they gquit, the officers helped themselves to whatever they wanted from the guild bank because “they’d earned it”. Apparently they felt the people who raided with them but chose not to join the new guild did not. I was recruited by officers and several guild members, but I chose not to join this new guild because I did not respect their actions. For fear of retaliation, I’d rather not list the former officers as references. Feel free to speak with Reuban, Tactical, Aezra, Authority, Snarglor, Drekadin, Earthfriend (my husband, who is also providing an app to your guild). I can provide additional names if needed. My holy paladin (Fhina) was my main. |
|
What is your normal weekly play schedule?
|
Tempest’s raiding schedule was identical to Nephilim’s: 5pm to 9pm EST, Sunday through Thursday. I tend to be on at least 6 nights a week, and I’m generally on for a good part of the day on weekends. I spend a lot of time farming herbs/materials for buff foods, doing dailies, but I also enjoy running 5 mans, try to get both of my 70s into full Kara clears each week, try to get in the minimum number of arena matches, etc. |
|
Do you know our raid schedule? How often do you feel you'd be able to make that schedule?
|
You have the same raid schedule as our last guild, Tempest. My husband and I shared (with a few other members) the highest attendance records for the guild. We even raided on my recent birthday, as having our guild short a main tank and one of their stronger healers would likely have meant not raiding at all due to overall guild attendance issues. |
|
When you are on your way to a raid, what consumables, and in what numbers, are in your bags?
|
One of my pet peeves is people who log on 5 minutes before raid, hit the AH for consumables, find (surprise) that there aren’t any, and then bum off the raid. I hated it when I was raiding Kara, and I REALLY hate it now. I err on the side of being OVERPREPARED. LOL
Buff Food: Full stack each of Golden Fishsticks (+heal), Blackened Sporefish (+mp5/stam), Skullfish Soup (Spell Crit) and at least a half stack of Furious Crawdads or Fisherman’s Feast (+30 stamina). I usually go with Sporefish or Skullfish. If we’re having frequent wipe fests or it’s a low level run (Kara badge run) I usually go with the easier to farm Fishsticks.
Potions: Mad Alchemist’s Potion (2 stacks), Super Mana Pots (2 stacks – you get a little more mana off them), enough herbs and vials to make at least another 4 stacks each of the aforementioned – plus mats for most other potions and elixirs.
Elixirs: One full stack each of: Healing Power, Draenic Wisdom, Major Mageblood, Adepts. I often bring Elixir of Mastery, too, although my buffed health is high enough now that I don’t generally need it. Again, I have the supplies to make more. When not flasked, I usually go Adepts/Draenic or Adepts/Mageblood, depending on the fight.
At least 5 hours worth of Superior Mana Oil
Full stack of heavy netherweave bandages
At least one flask of Mighty Restoration (or equivalent), at least one Flask of Distilled Wisdom (I like the extra healing/spell crit/mana pool depending on the situation).
Reagents: 3.5/4 stacks of Symbol of Kings, full stack Symbol of Divinity (5)
Stack each of regular food and water in case we don’t get a table.

What do you do for a living? or, How do you spend your time outside of WoW?
|
I was a systems administrator until we relocated to Illinois and I couldn’t find a job, so I guess I’m an over-qualified housewife these days. Aside from the questionable joys of housework, I WoW, watch movies, read books, listen to music, hang with my girlfriend, mess around on the computer, make jewelry, knit. Sorta dull, I know, but we live in rural Illinois and have limited options for fun; somehow having several babies and/or starting up a meth habit didn’t appeal as a hobby. |
|
Please list any members of Nephilim that would speak on your behalf.
|
I'm afraid I do not know anyone. This would be a server transfer. |
|
List your greatest WoW accomplishment.
|
Mastering the Lady Vashj fight. I remember when it seemed an impossible, chaotic mess, but once you learn it, it’s like a deadly, complicated dance. |
|
Here, list any other information that you feel is pertinent to your application.
|
I have two solid years of heavy World of Warcraft experience overall. While my Holy Paladin has been my main for onIy four or five months, I consistently placed first among the healadins in Tempest - not just for overall healing, but for dispels. I ranged anywhere from first to third place for healing overall in the guild.
My husband, Earthfriend, has also applied to your guild. The advantage we bring to a guild as a tank/healer pair (although I was not exclusively assigned to him) is that we can maintain strong communication during a raid without the need for vent or the delay (however minor) of vent lag.
My holy paladin possesses a fully enchanted shadow resist set. I lack the necklace because Tempest guild refused to visit T5 content once MH/BT opened up, so I have not gotten to any of the 25 man content quests for Black Temple Attunement. I still hope to someday complete that.
|
|
Here list anything that you will be changing in your gear in the near future, and why it hasn't been changed yet. (EX: My weapon isn't enchanted yet. I just got it yesterday and I'm farming up money for one more shard, it'll be fixed by tomorrow.)
|
In looking at my gear, please take into account that she was an alt that hit 70 less than 5 months ago. Before that, I raided on my Warlock. Overall, I’m proud of what I have accomplished with Fhina – it was all earned by working hard to acquire enough badges and by participating in actual raid progression, not showing up at the end for easy farm loot.
I just acquired my badge mace (I kept hoping one would drop in ZA or better yet, Hammer of Attonement off Kaz’rogal in MH), and my next upgrade will be the badge pants, although I have some ways to go. Our guild had not seen the healing cloak, and I kept losing the roll on the shield (we did not have dkp; we used a straight roll system and my rolls were notoriously bad!), so my pieces are still not the greatest
