Aprox - Druid

[aprox]

Are you applying for a Raider position, or Social membership?
-Currently Social.

If applying for a Raider position, please tell us which evenings of the week you are available to raid and which evenings you cannot commit to attending.
-Thursdays and some Mondays

Who are you? Where are you from? How old are you? What kind of work do you do? Tell us a bit about yourself!

My name is Filip. I'm 32 years old, married and living in Denmark. Im in the IT business currently in a support function with some programming on the side.

What kind of internet connection do you have?
10/1Mbit

What sort of frame rates do you get when playing WoW and is your computer current?
I get some 30+ in Baradin Hold. Waiting for AMD to post their next Bulldozer chip.

How long have you been playing computer games and what kind?
Heh. Since 1982 starting on a NES. Ive played any kind of game from chess to role-play, simulation and what have you.

What kind of raiding experience do you have?
I've been raiding on and off since ZG. Ive run 2 raiding guilds in TBC and WotLK one of them on Aprox. Kara, ZA, Gruul, Naxx 10/25, EoE10, OS10/25 3D, Uld10, ToC10/25, ICC10/25. In cataclysm, I've only done BH.

What other guilds have you been in and why did you decide or were forced to move on?
Team Game Off in classic on Thunderhorn Horde. Own guild in TBC, own guild in WotLK.
I've got a couple of chars on Thunderhorn, one in Left Hand Path, one in The Ogrimmar Massive. I've never been kicked from any guilds but some have lost momentum or never gained critical mass. Since Thunderhorn is very tight with raid spots im looking elsewhere where I don’t need to re-roll.

Do you actively play any alts that we could find you in in case we need to contact you?
Between work and wife, there's usually only time to play on one server. But yes, I've got several chars. Only active char on Aszune is Aprox tho.

If you are a cross-server applicant, name someone from your home server that can vouch for you.
Hm, my nephew is playing on Thunderhorn, but he'll probably get ****ed if he learns I'm moving on ^^. Kaiana from Aszune was my right hand. He can probably say a thing or two.

What are your plans for the game? In what way would you like others to know you?
Tell us about your personality, and why you enjoy the game.
Name one thing you don't like about WoW in its current state.

I’m a compulsive liar <.< Oh wait! I’m a man who don’t like too much fuzz and hopefully don’t give too much either.

I’m interested in raid content for the fun of raiding. Loot is fine but its not the driving force. I want to "complete" this game. Its a really fun game when players cooperate.
Not so much when players emo out on being better/more worth than others.


Your character

Please link to your armory profile.
http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/aszune/Aprox/simple
If your armory does not show your intended spec then please make a template of it and link it.
The char is currently not role locked. Im currently tanking my way to 85 and picking up loots on the way. Been playing every role but cat.

Why did you decide to play this class?
At some point it got too frustrating having to level/gear several chars to fill the needed roles when players failed to show up. This one does it all.
Moonkin in ulduar was fun but i don’t mind either way. Bear tanking is not all too bad.
Besides, that’s not why i play anyways.

What do you think your class' role is in raid content?
Druids got good dps, tanking and healing options. With very little effort one can fill 3 roles in one char as needed.

Comment on your build. Why did you choose it? What do you think of other builds of your class? Why didn't you choose one of those? (important question)

I usually read out the intended way blizzard build the class from the talent tool-tips. Much is a given when you know your role. The rest can be read on elitistjerks.com


This guild

What do you look for in a guild?
Order.

''Dead Men Raiding'' - What comes to mind when you see that guild name?
Dead Man Walking.
Then some "I don’t have a life" thing ^^.

There are other guilds on the server, why did you apply to us?
Been a while since i was on Aszune. Saw one of your ads. Website looks nice and the guy advertising said you were majorly adults.

Who do you know in Dead Men Raiding? How do you know them?
None.

Have you read our 'what we look for' and 'philosophy' posts? What do you think of them?
Yes. I think its nice to lay out some lines on how you work.


Annoying questions

A guildie says something you find offensive, what do you do?
Bring out the 17 pound catfish. You'd really have to be a jerk to get me off tho.
Cake or Pie?
Cake. Lots. Then some pie.

I don't know if you are going to fully focus on tanking but if you do i would advise a little respec

Nice app Aprox, we'll get back to you shortly once officers have discussed your app.

[aprox]

Thanks.

[aprox]

You've got some good points Ice Hawk.
Brutal Impact really helps with Skull Bash. I might put that talent in Stampede into King of the Jungle but your spec gave some good tips.

Guessing i sorta drowned in the flood of applications?

Oops.  Whisper an officer when online for a social invite.  Mea culpa - too much easter chocolate affects memory you know!
