A bit about yourself:My name is Erwin, living in Eindhoven, Netherlands. I'm a 4th degree student applied physics. I have been a gamer for many years, started playing WoW in early TBC.

ABOUT YOU AS PLAYER:
Do you have Teamspeak? Yes, and I have a mic and I use it.
List the relevant raiding add-ons you use: BigWigs, Grid, Classtimers, Recount/Omen
We expect all members to attend any raids with food and flasks to last the whole raid night and being repaired and ready to pull bosses at 20.00: Always have my flasks and a stack or two/three feasts or food on me.
Our Raid times are from 20:00 to 0:00 server time with invites starting at 19:30. On which days will you be available for the whole duration? (A raidgroup usually only raids up to 3 nights a week)
Wednesday: Yes
Thursday: Yes
Friday: Not always
Saturday: Not Always
Sunday: Yes
Monday: Yes
Tuesday: Yes
I am ok with raiding 3-4 days a week but prefer not to raid 5 days.
Have you been in another guild? (Yes/No): Yes
If so: Which one(s)? And why did you leave?: Synergy - Ahn'Qiraj horde - Skillwise best guild I've been in. Raiding with them up to ICC when most people stopped raiding.
Involuntary - Doomhammer Alliance - Social guild with some raids. Guildleaders got RL problems and the guild died.
Lost Chapter - Doomhammer + Ravencrest Alliance - The guild where I've been for a year, I've given everything for the guild in the past year but I feel that only very few people do the same. Many login at 19.59 and expect to raid and loot without effort. It may be clear that this isn't working out atm
Please list your relevant raid experience, stating which encounters you have personal experience of at the current level cap:
MoP: 6/6 MSV, 1/6 HoF 0,9% on 2nd boss (10m - other group did kill it) and 60%-ish on Garalon25. Due to the high amount of players not attending and those attending not performing we haven't tried any HC yet.
Cata 1/13H T11 6/7H T12 8/8H T13 cleared All heroic bosses during DS including Ragnaros.
Wrath T7 all cleared. T8 Ulduar+HMs when it was current (includes algalon). No ICC hc kills before cata.
TBC Cleared all up to 3/6SWP before wrath
Please link, if possible, any recent relevant logs (
www.worldoflogs.com), so we can get an idea from your current performance in raids:
Can't seem to find Lost Chapter or The Lost Chapter on either Ravencrest or Doomhammer.. but one of our officers always uploads logs..
IMPORTANT:
Now when you are done with the "basics", we want you to explain a little about different aspects of your character.
Character:
Why did you choose the class you are now playing and the professions you selected?:I've been Shaman since I started playing I've always just kept on playing it.
I use LW and Alchemy because LW always adds a good enchant for intellect and with Alchemy I can choose which bonus I want to use as healer; Int or Spirit. The bonus on spirit is slightly higher as intellect on Alchemists these days.
Talent specialisation:The talents for Restoration are pretty obvious.
Astral shift for defensive CD
Earthgrab Totem to help when overwhelmed by adds like Will of the Emperor.
Lvl45 tier none of the 3 add any value to healing in PvE
Ancestral Swiftness due to 5% passive haste and able to instant-heal a low health raidmember every minute (1.5min in 5.1)
Healing tide totem because its Healing throughput is simply superior
Unleashed Fury as elemental blast costs too much time to cast which otherwise could be used casting heals
Glyphs; Riptide + healing stream totem + Spiritwalkers grace; these are fight-dependant.
Would you be willing to change your specialization for the guild?: Yes.. and no.. I have tried elemental before and I prefer not playing that.
Do you have two or more specs you know well enough to use in a Raiding environment?: I have raiding experience with both Resto and Enhance
Please list any talents and glyphs you switch out for certain fights:I don't switch our talents ( Nothing to switch out )
I switch our glyphs depends on movement or not: Riptide + Grace for movement, Healing Wave for static, Telluric current for static
Water shield glyph is used only for very few fights where the reactive proc outweights the passive MP5 bonus
Healing stream glyph I basically always use this ( most fights have some form of elemental damage )
Gear:
Do you feel your character is sufficiently geared to compete in the encounters of the current Heroic tier? (and if not, what is your character sufficiently geared for?): Yes it is.
Where do you think your current equipment is lacking now?: Nothing major.
What stat-priority do you currently use (both secondary and primary stats, especially for tanks and healers), when gemming, enchanting and reforging your gear? (for both your main and off-spec):
Restoration:Single-target healing: 871 Haste > Crit ( due to 1.68 modifier ) > Mastery
AoE Healing: 871 Haste > Mastery > Crit ( 1.0 modifier on healing rain etc )
871 haste is because our totem healing ticks are bugged and dont correctly scale with haste at the moment. The next haste softcap is 5676 which I cannot reach ( and manaregen cant support this either )
Enhancement: 7,5% expertise > 15% spellhit > Agility > Mastery=Haste > Crit
Guild:
Do you know anyone in MoX who can vouch for you?: No.
Why do you want to join MoX?: Seems like a nice guild with raiding and social aspect and plenty of rules to prevent the bad stuff that is happening with my current guild where people don't get punished for low attendance and "Standing in the fire"
What type of guild are you looking for?: A guild where people put up equal effort but are social in their play nevertheless
What are your goals in wow, what do you want to achieve and how long do you plan to keep playing?My maingoal... is to have fun! After that, I want to kill dragons. Yes, I find all bosses to look a little like dragons!
Additional Information:Confirmation that you have read, understood and agree to abide by the MoX Charter (Yes/No): Yes I read the entire post supplied in link on the recruitment forum post.
Is there anything else you feel is relevant to your application or that you would like us to know?I am ok with raiding till 0:00 but I prefer not to extend further past that time. That doesn't mean I disconnect at 0:01. I mostly talk a lot on vent/TS but not after 23:00 when my parents are asleep. I still live at home due to financial reasons, please understand this
I like to stream my games also, and wish to continue doing this especially when progressing Heroic raids. My PC can handle high-ultra specs while streaming on very high FPS.
