Lohkrum, Resto/Ele Shaman [Social with hopes of raiding in due time :)]

[Lohkrum]

You

Are you applying for a Raider position, or Social membership?
Social Membership

Who are you? Where are you from? How old are you? What kind of work do you do?

My names is Dean, I'm from Milton Keynes in England, I'm 19 and currently have just finished working at Mercedes Benz, and currently working at a local garage for car modifications

Tell us a bit about yourself!

In my spare time you'll usually see me on WoW providing i have something to do, On my luscious 7 string guitar, Or with my "Other half"

What kind of internet connection do you have?

40 Megabit Fibre

What sort of frame rates do you get when playing WoW and is your computer current?

currently i frame lock it to 30 as I'm only on a laptop, looking to upgrade to a decent gaming pc when money allows

How long have you been playing computer games and what kind?

Litterally gaming since about the age of 4 with gameboys etc, Mmo'ing since about 6 months into WoWs start.

What kind of raiding experience do you have?

Just about everything up to wrath, a select few Wrath experiences... and nothing in Cata as of yet (Though looking to try

What other guilds have you been in and why did you decide or were forced to move on?

Active member of inspire as an officer until it became less active, or should i say, layed down to die Left and had a bash at launching my own guild, which didnt go to plan...

Notable names over the years, FurionS, Wee People United, Righteous, Inspire... thats what i can remember, there's probably been a few more... Left due to inactivity or disbanding for all of them.

 Do you actively play any alts that we could find you in in case we need to contact you?

Well at the moment I'm leveling my shaman that was an Alt, now preparing it as my main... but i have 3 other 85's (DK, Priest, Druid) That could probably be put to some use, a 73 rogue (Though i doubt that's any good these days) being the high characters, the others aren't worth listing as they could be leveled to that point in a matter of days

If you are a cross-server applicant, name someone from your home server that can vouch for you.

Aszunes been home to me for about 6 years, and if anyone can vouch for me it would be vladic, as I've known him since about 3 days after starting to current day.

What are your plans for the game? In what way would you like others to know you?

I'd like to be known as the guild socialite, I've always considered myself a very social and open kinda guy, I'd love to start raiding again as i feel it breathes some new life back into a game that can get rather stale if left inactive for too long, although this will be quite far away due to leveling and gearing

Tell us about your personality, and why you enjoy the game.

This could be summed up in the previous comment, but adding to it; Extremely mellow and chilled out, Very talkative, always tottering away on theory trying to better myself and my character

Well, I've been playing for 6 years-ish like i previously mentioned, I've just slowly but surely fell in love with this MMO, I've dashed between a few since starting, and nothing quite compares (And i very much doubt anything will for years to come o.o) It all started with my love for druids in Vanilla...

Name one thing you don't like about WoW in its current state.

Blizzard took my tree form and changed my entire healing system


Your character

Please link to your armory profile.
http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/aszune/Lohkrum/simple
Only level 50 right now, so completely likely to change by the minute
Currently leveling into something along the lines of: http://www.wowhead.com/talent#hhZbhMZfGbMsdMosd

Why did you decide to play this class?

Out of the current healers, i find my druid destroyed... Not hps-wise, but its system and feel has been absolutely gutted... i experimented with a few (Mostly my priest) but never found one to feel the same, before someone recommended trying resto shaman

What do you think your class' role is in raid content?

As a resto shaman, i believe it would be along the lines of a general raid blanket-er, perhaps a tank healer with riptide and greater healing wave...

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)

Currently that's just the base for my build, I'm going to personally do some testing / some modification to better suit my style / what I'm required to be doing as a healer.


This guild

What do you look for in a guild? I look for a guild to be socially active, Like-minded (Not too serious, not too slack, with the ability to relax off and have fun)

''Dead Men Raiding'' - What comes to mind when you see that guild name? I see a semi-serious guild with the ability to have a laugh and a joke, treading the line between serious and casual, although managing to pull off great things with both sides

There are other guilds on the server, why did you apply to us?

Having spoken to James (Vlad as he'd no doubt prefer to be known ), he helped me to decide to heal again after mentioning a shortage, and i like to rise to a challenge... having craved a guild since the falling apart of inspire, I've never liked the idea of starting completely fresh, and i feel James helps to soften that blow, while allowing me to see a few new faces and names.

 
Who do you know in Dead Men Raiding? How do you know them? Extensively covered already

Have you read our 'what we look for' and 'philosophy' posts? What do you think of them?

I find them very reasonable, you clearly outline what it is your looking for in guild members, I quite like the idea of a firm but allowing leadership (in the form of contributions being thought of, with the final verdict remaining final) And appreciate the "Lets have fun while we kick arse, lets make sure we kick arse though!" attitude

Annoying questions

A guildie says something you find offensive, what do you do? Raise the issue with an officer / higher up (Not 100% on your ranking system )

Cake or Pie? The cake is always a lie... My banoffee and cherry pies on the other hand... <3

Would just like to add a few things, I'm sorry for the complete wall of text, i can cut down on in game messages as required, and I'm attempting to work at my obscene volume of smiley usage *holds back*

Thank you for your time, and i hope to see you in game

Darn i did it again...

Nice app, welcome to DMR.   Whisper an officer for an invite when you are online!

Thank you kindly for reading through that epic wall, i didn't realise it was quite so big until it was posted, i should have previewed and cut it down

[Deminion]

As long as you don't talk to the same amount as Vlad, it doesn't matter that much:narnar:

[Lohkrum]

That's going to be a tight one, but i think he will win that one.
