Applications type (Social/PvP/Raider): Raider.
Name: Egill Þorláksson
Age: 22
Country: Iceland
What other games apart from WoW do you play?: Heroes of Newerth
A bit about yourself: I'm currently on break from school doing the odd freelance programming gig. I live in the <not so much> great city of Reykjavík which houses over two thirds of Icelands population. I plan on going to uni next semester.
ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER: I leveled up my hunter during 4.2 due to being tired of being a healbot as a holy paladin.
Armory Link: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/grim-batol/aritaka/advancedCharacter name: Aritaka
Class: Hunter
Level: 85
Current server: Grim Batol
Spec(s): Survival and Beast Mastery - I primarily use Surv and have been practicing my BM for spine heroic and other fights where it is viable.
Professions:How often do you play WoW (typical weekly playtime and which hours)?: It varies. Currently not so much since I do not actively raid. Maybe 2 hours a day.
What high level alts do you have?: On this account I only got an undergeared mage. (Also got two alliance chars which are also fairly undergeared.)
ABOUT YOU AS PLAYER:Do you have Teamspeak? (Voice communication is essential to our raiding and it's highly recommended you get a mic if you don't have one already): Yes, I also got a working microphone!
List the relevant raiding add-ons you use: Elvui, DMB, prat, msbt. (I haven't used omen at all this expansion because quite frankly a hunter doesn't overaggro, ever.)
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 at 20.00
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: available
Thursday: available
Friday: available
Saturday: available
Sunday: available
Monday: available
Tuesday: currently not available <will be available in 6 weeks or so>
That being said I'm not up for raiding more than 3 nights a week, but I can make any night of the week.
Have you been in another guild? (Yes/No): Yes.
Which one(s)? And why did you leave?: I started playing WoW a few weeks after release and have traveled over multiple realms and guilds. Notable guilds would be:
[A] Alliance Militia on Grim Batol - I joined them as a social during vanilla but didn't play much. If I remember correctly I never leveled anything over 30 during vanilla.
[H] Skemmileggja on Grim Batol - I joined Skemmileggja during ulduar and played with them until ~febuary when I took a break until I joined Cuddle Vendor.
[H] Cuddle Vendor on Grim Batol - I joined CV during ICC and stayed there until shortly before cata when I decided to take a break.
[A] The Bonnie Tyler Fanclub on Grim Batol - BTFC is an Icelandic guild composed of IRL friends which I joined shortly into T11 and we raided for a couple of months until our main tank stopped showing up and we decided to do other things.
[H] Nocens Locus on Skullcrusher - NL is an Icelandic guild which I joined due to knowing a couple of players there. They then quit playing and I didn't feel at home there and migrated back to Grim Batol.
I am currently a social member of Cuddle Vendor.
I have been in quite a few guilds during my WoW career. I might look like a guild hopper but that could not be further from the truth. I've been fairly unlucky with guilds which either disband or people stop showing up. The only real guild hop was from Nocens Locus which happened because I did not feel at home there and frankly disliked how officers handled things. I'd be happy to elaborate on that if required.
Please list your relevant raid experience, stating which encounters you have personal experience of at the current level cap:I cleared T11 normal modes (some heroic) and 2/7 heroic T12 on my paladin. My hunter has 7/7 heroic T12 and 5/8 heroic T13 with numerous attempts on lootship. (We were almost able to get to phase 2.)
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 chose the class you are now playing and the professions you selected?: I wanted to change to DPS and have always liked hunters. My professions are chosen for raiding. Alchemy due to 2x flask lifetime and mixology. Engineering simply because it's the best profession.
Talent specialisation:
Would you be willing to change your build for the guild?: Yes, I do not see that happening though since MM is pretty bad right now.
Do you have two viable PvE speccs?: Yes.
Gear:
Do you feel your character is sufficiently geared to compete in the Dragon Soul encounters?: Yes, I might be slightly less geared than the average heroic raider but I haven't had any issues with dps so far.
Where do you think your current equipment is lacking now?: I need to replace Starcatcher Compass asap. Other than that any stat upgrade would improve my character,
Guild:
Do you know anyone in MoX who can vouch for you?: Nope. Atleast not to my knowledge, I may have played with some during my stay on Grim Batol.
Why do you want to join MoX?: I'm seeking a raiding guild where I can progress content at a reasonable rate. You are a longstanding guild with <as far as I know> a very good reputation.
What type of guild are you looking for?: A place where I feel at home and can have a laugh. A guild that likes to progress but doesn't live for it.
What are your goals in wow, what do you want to achieve and how long do you plan to keep playing? I want to finish this tier, gear myself up for MoP and just have a good time. I will keep on playing while I enjoy the game.
Additional Information:
Confirmation that you have read, understood and agree to abide by the MoX Charter (Yes/No): Yes.
Is there anything else you feel is relevant to your application or that you would like us to know?I do not have any WoL available due to them being too old and not accessible. Other than that I hope I did not forget anything and I look forward to hearing from you!
