[LegendRXL]

Hello, This is my application to Protectors of Chaos:

Character Name :
Lëgend

Race :
Blood Elf

Class :
Paladin

Level :
80

Current Server :
Runetotem

Armory Link :
http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Runetotem&n=L%C3%ABgend - Holy Gear

http://chardev.org/?template=155487 - Retribution Gear

What do you prefer PvE or PvP :
Both are great, but i'm heavily focused on PvE.

We may ask you to change your spec. Is this problem for you :
Not problem for me.

Playing Times :
Playing times are not problem for me. I can play Monday - Friday and i can stay until raid is called.

Is your english enough to talk and understand:
Absolutely

Previous Guilds :
I was in server Aggramar. I applied to The Ascension and got accepted. I had family problems and internet problems so i didnt play WoW for a month. I got kicked. Then i joined Arachnid. I left it because one of the officer. I left Aggramar and came in Runetotem and i was accepted in Villains by Necessity.

Reasons for Applying :
1st of all i think PoC is great guild, with good raiding progression. Full of mature and dedicated people. I also wanna be a part of a strong and focused guild with an incredibly raiders.

What do you expect to gain from PoC membership :
I expect Friendly atmosphere, dedicated people who want's to become No.1 on Server. Nice experiance and improvement in playing my class. New friends, and of course a lot of good time and fun.


What do you feel you can offer us as a member :
You can expect a focused person with great raid attendance. I always have consumable prepared and gold to repair for. The guy who dont mind wiping all night. I can offer you a friendly, person that reads up on his class. You can expect a serious Paladin that provide the best healing or dps I can deliver every raid.

Raiding Experience :
In WotLK I've cleared :
Naxxramas 10, in 25 man only Sapphiron and Kel'Thuzad left,
Malygos 10 and 25 man,
Sartharion +1 10 man and +0 25 man,
VoA 10 and 25 man.


Your Role :
1st time i played with them i fell in love with the pally class in TBC. In Dungeons i healed and dps. Retribution spec was my main. In wotlk same as the TBC, but now healing spec is main for me. I have gear for both spec's and it's not problem for me to be healer or dps. I read on internet a lot of about my class. i have all required addons for raiding. I can use ventrilo or teamspeak. Before raid i have buff food and flasks everytime. My role in raids is to bring a high amount of damage or healing on single and multiple targets, providing aswell great buffs that can improve raid dps. I understand my class very well.
Holy :
They are direct healers, but they have a form of indirect healing from the spell Judgment of Light. Holy Paladins are strong single target healers, and are able to do burst spell damage if specced properly. Im working on haste and crit at the moment. Most of my gems are based on spell damage and crit. Stil working on gear. In my talents i dont have BoK, because raids wil have retribution paladins with BoK and i have 8% crit in retri tree.
Retribution :
One of the most fun spec to play as a paladin is the retribution spec. They are a great source of dps and buffs. My main attacks (Judgement, CS, DS, Conc, Exorcism and Holy Wrath). Judgement always comes first, seeing as the majority of the time it is your most dominant DPS attack. Divine Storm outdamages Crusader Strike when it comes to multiple mobs, and it goes the other way around for single target mobs. They can also cover as healers in emergency situations. My gems are based on strenght. The only downside to paladins is that they run out of mana very quickly. So i'm using Seal of Wisdom.


Personal Information :

My real name is Medin Stefan, 19 years old, live in Montenegro in Niksic. I have two Brothers, and i'm playing football. I really love it.
Besides World of Warcraft, I'm occasionaly play America's Army, and some other games like : Crysis, PES 2009, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion ...
I see myself as a guy with humor , dedicated, and i'm using 100% of my capability in raids.
It's not problem for me to raid + 00:00 hours. I´ve played WoW since TBC came out and i don´t plan on stop playing anytime soon.

That's it. I hope you enjoyed reading it. Please contact me in-game if you have any more question.
By the way i left VBN this morning, and armory still didn't update it.

Best Regards,

Stefan Medin ( Lëgend )

What do you expect to gain from BFTH membership

Look, we don't expect people to reinvent the wheel in writing out applications, but if you're going to copy some other guild's template, you could at least have a quick look over it to make sure there aren't any direct references to that guild!

I'm afraid you'll have to do a lot better than this if you want to be considered - there's a lot of info missing. Why did you leave your previous guild? What spells do you use if you're healing a tank? What about raid healing? What glyphs do you use? You say you understand your class very well, but there is very little here that shows that unfortunately.

[LegendRXL]

Yeah, I'm sorry about that. My apply was to short and i didnt know what to write more so i searched other guilds templates.

[Bruticus]

You'll need to answer the points that Bov raised if you want to be considered. Basically the more information the better, and the more you can show you understand your class the likelier we are to overlook that you copy/pasted to the wrong guild.

I'll add another two questions: what sites do you read? What's your UI like?

Addons : Titan Panel, Cartographer, Deadly Boss Mods, Decursive, Omen Threat Meter, Pally Power, Grid, Visual heal, Recount, Quest Helper, Xperl Unit Frames, Clique.

About my Role :
Divine Plea, the best return of mana in the game.
Beacon of light is excellent in situations where a couple of people are taking heavy damage, and can allow me some raid heals while still healing tank.
Holy Light, often used as the core heal for tank healing.
Holy Shock, it heals for a little more than Flash of Light, but is instant with 6 seconds cooldown. Using it an urgent heal. A crit Holy Shock gives you buff, making your next Flash of Light instant or your next Holy Light very fast and is a good way to put out a lot of healing fast.
Flash of Light, is a spell with very good mana efficiency. Using it for non-urgent raid heals, and topping off the tank if they’re not taking much damage.
Lay on Hands, in situations when player is low on health.
Judgement of Light as a default, If raid is not short of mana.
Seal of Wisdom when i'm low on mana or raids is.
Cleanse for removing 1 poison effect, 1 disease effect, and 1 magic effect.
Divine Illumination, im using it when i'm low on mana.
Divine Favor will guarantee me a Holy Shock crit whether it's used to heal or to deal damage. It's good to use when the tank gets a big burst, for a combo with HL, can be very useful.
Sacred Shield using it on people who will be taking multiple sources of taken.it can absorb a lot of damage when cast a holy paladin.

Glyphs :
Major :
Holy Light
Seal of Wisdom
divinity

Minor:
Blessing of Kings (if i have Kings )
Lay on Hands
Wise

Previous Guilds :
When i was in server Aggramar, I applied to The Ascension and got accepted. I had serious family problems and some problems with provider so i didnt play WoW for a month, so i got kicked from The Ascension. I was back when Wotlk came. After some leveling i joined Arachnid. I left it because attitude of some officer. At that time one of my best friends got kicked from guild because he said he don't like attitude of some player in guild. That player was the best friend of the that officer and my friend got kicked. I really didn't like that and i just left it and i wrote a letter to guild leader explaining the things. I found out that some officer left and 3 more players with him. I left Aggramar and came in Runetotem, and i was accepted in Villains by Necessity. I left VbN because i wanted to apply To PoC. It's not the right thing to apply to the other guild while you are still in the guild.

I hope this will answer to your questions.

Most of this is copy/pasted from here (http://www.bananashoulders.com/2009/03/27/holy-paladin-faq-v10-pre-31/). We didn't ask for a copy pasted FAQ, it would be useful if you could show some knowledge about your class rather than 'it can absorb a lot of damage when cast a holy paladin.'

I appreciate that you have taken (some) time to elaborate on your apply, but at the moment I am guessing that you don't really know how to play. I am basing this solely on the fact that when asked if you know how to play you copy paste the very basics of the class that everyone knows. Now, the rest of your app is pretty good, apart from all the copy paste mistakes, so you get another chance to convnce me you know what you are talking about.

Put simply, an ebayer would know the info you have given me. We just want to read your app and think 'yeah this guy knows his shit'.

Also, what was your experience in TBC? Perhaps you could talk about how you have played in raids from TBC and WoTLK.

[LegendRXL]

Look, in TBC ( Karazhan - cleared , Gruul's lair - cleared, Magtharidon - cleared, Zul'aman ( last boss left ), The Eye ( last boss left ), SSC ( last boss left ), BT ( last 2 bosses left) and Wotlk 80 % i was retribution. You can see how much better my retri gear is. I didn't mention that i leveled in Runetotem. I always wanted to join some high rating guild especially PoC ( that's like WoW Dream for me ). I saw my chance in The Ascension and joined it, and rest you know. When i came back i saw recruitment post that you guys recruiting extra paladin healer, i wanted to get holy gear as fast as possible. I was going in heroic dungeons everyday, learning about holy. Everyweek i was doing VoA 10/25, OS 10/25, to get holy knowledge and to see how the system works. So i dont have that knowledge about holy which PoC deserve's it. Still was doing naxx as retribution, to get off spec gear ( few times as holy ). So i was afraid that PoC will reject me. Then I looked on internet everything about holy paladins, copy - pasted FAQ . I was so nervous, i didnt saw my copy - paste mistake. Im very sorry about that. I saw my uniqe chance to get it and i done what i've done. I wil understand if i'm rejected.
Thanks for your understanding and for another chance Bruticus.

Just to chip in a little help here. Your gemming is slightly wrong. At the moment it's considered best to gem straight for Intellect since paladins gain the most out of Int gems. Check the Paladin forum on EJ.

[LegendRXL]

Thanks for your help Moosterm.

[Zeero]

Hi. As you might have expected, we'll have to decline your application. Good luck finding a guild for yourself.
