About you: Applications type (

Name: Tom Vergeer
Age: 21
Country: The Netherlands
What other games apart from WoW do you play? RIFT (occasionally)
Tell us a bit about you: I like to do sports, during summer time I like to go running, swimming, be out in the open. I like to explore new things; I think I could write an entire wish list with things I would like to do some day. This summer I will be going to Bordeaux, France. And hopefully I pick up some surfing skills while I’m down there
Besides being active I also like to hang out with friends and drink a cooled beer, watch movies, listen to some good music (all kinds of genres really) and occasionally write a poem or a song.

Guilds: Have you been in another guild? Yes, 3 so far.
Which one(s)? And why did you leave? - Semper Frateri (EU, Haomarush): I left because their standard was too high and I didn't feel comfortable raiding with 24 people around me expecting me to perform miracles.
- Discipline (EU, Trollbane): I used to be one of the co-founders of Discipline, but decided to put my study first and hand over the GM rank to somebody else, besides that progress wasn't going as fast as I wanted it to, so started to look for another raiding guild as well.
- TGF (EU, Trollbane): I was a rookie back then, was given a chance in their third 10man raiding group, but wanted to try my luck with pugs, after that I wasn't given another chance at raiding with TGF anymore, so I left and started organizing my own pug raids.

Character: Why did you choose the class you are now playing and the professions you selected? My paladin is the first character I ever created, when I first started playing it, I picked it because you can basically choose any role you like ( except for ranged dps), during WotLK I always played Retribution, which wasn't really that hard. But when Cataclysm came out, me and three or four guildies dinged 85 within 24 hours of the release, but no tank. So I decided to go tanking from then on and I've been doing that for over 4 months now. I must say I really like it.
When it comes to professions, both mining and Jewelcrafting come in handy to boost my stats a little, especially Jewelcrafting is handy, because I can use it not just for tanking, but also for my offspec.
Talent specialization: Would you be willing to change your build for the guild? Definitely, if you can think of anything that I could change to improve my gameplay, let me know!
Explain why you´re using the spec and glyphs you are, what other specs you have tried and why you came to the conclusion that this specs suits you the best: The spec I am using now provides me with the best survivability there is, both for me (think of Eternal Glory, Pursuit of Justice) and the raid (think of Divine Guardian). A lot of the other talents are basically no-brainers. If there are any specific questions you would like to ask my, feel free to ask me.
Gear: Do you feel your character is sufficiently geared to compete in Cataclysm 10man raids? Yes, definitely. I am almost full 359 geared, which basically means I could be tanking heroic raids already.
Where do you think your current equipment is lacking now? Not much actually, I know there are some better 359 items I could get in raids, such as my sword and shield, to get rid of the hit rating I have on there. But overall I am satisfied with my gear. The only thing I still want to improve is my off spec, which is where I’m spending my Valor Points on at the moment.
Explain why you are using the equipment, gems and enchants you have now specifically if any items are what most would consider ‘non-standard’ for your spec: All the enchants I have, are basically common sense. For gemming I try to gain all my socket bonuses, I try to balance stamina and mastery since they are my 2 most important stats. For reforging everything goes to mastery, for items that already have mastery on it, I will reforge useless stats to either dodge or parry.
Guild: Do you know anyone in MoX who can vouch for you? I did talk to Xan, but have not yet played with any of you guys as far as I’m aware. But I sure hope to get to know you guys a lot better in the coming two weeks!
Why you want to join MoX, what type of guild you´re looking for, and what you´re looking for in a guild. I and my brother, Szemere, are both looking for a guild that’s actively raiding, 3-4 nights a week; make some progress, but most of all have fun. We don’t want to get yelled at, but still want to keep improving ourselves to not only improve our own gameplay, but also help get the guild to a higher level. MoX seems to be that kind of guild, both social and serious raiding. We really hope to find a home with you guys!
What are your goals in wow, what do you want to achieve and how long do you plan to keep playing? Personally, I really hope to clear everything on Heroic before Firelands comes out. Then clear most of that content and after that we’ll see. I’ve never been much of a planner, but I will most definitely be playing WoW for at least another 6-12 months if not longer!
Additional Information: Confirmation that you have read, understood and agree to abide by the MoX Charter: Yes
Is there anything else you feel is relevant to your application or that you would like us to know? Nope, over and out!
