Memeas
7th Jun 09, 02:11 AM
After thinking long and hard about where and what i want out of this game i have decided to apply to your guild, so here goes.
Character Name
Memeas (http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Runetotem&n=Memeas)
Race & Class
Tauren Druid, feral PVE tank
Current Server
Runetotem
Armory Link
http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Runetotem&n=Memeas
Playing Times
This is where it can get interesting from yours and my point of view. I work as a technician in a chain of casinos here in Holland and therefore i am required to work late shifts alot of the time. My shifts don't often vary so i know pretty much beforehand which days i will be able to raid.
for example 1 week i have mon-wed lates so no raids, rest of that week i have earlies so will be able to join all raids if needed.
the next week i have mon-wed earlies so again i can raid, then thu-sun i have lates.
I will allways keep my CL/RL/whoever up-to-date with my schedule so that it is known.
Previous Guilds:
Guilds of note that i have been in:
Vanilla WoW i was in several guilds as i leveled up my chars (will come to my alts in a sec) but none of note to be honest.
Just before TBC hit i joined Shadowmane Tribe but whilst lvling i got fed up with the constant bickering of the officers so i left and continued my way to 80 guildless.
Droods:joined in the week after they disbanded as F&T and reformed as Droods, i was with them for over a year and was part of the highs and lows that alot of you will allready know of. Eventually making it to Officer/Druid CL.
Riddlebox: When Droods finally imploded alot of the "hardcore" raiders merged with RB so they could continue raiding, i myself didn't join this innitial group as i wasn't entirely sure what i wanted to do. After a few weeks of mulling it over i finally made a fresh application to RB and was promptly accepted into their ranks and with them cleared MH, BT and 2 bosses in SWP(pre nerf/talent change). I have for a long time now been feeling less and less at home in RB and in the end i could no longer find any reasons in myself to force me to stay.
Reasons for Applying:
Deciding to apply to PoC wasn't exactly a hard decision as i lived on Runetotem for allmost 3 years now and in that time i have grouped and even pug raided with alot of you over that time.
Raiding Experience:
Vanilla:
I have cleared MC, ZG, AQ20 all pre TBC. Afterwards i have clared all raids except Blackwing Lair.
TBC:
Kara, Gruul, Maggy, Serpentshrine (expect Vashj still grrrrrr), The Eye, MH, BT and 2 bosses in SWP pre nerf. The rest of SWp i cleared when i reached lvl 80.
WotLK:
Naxx 10+25 fully cleared
Ulduar 10 up to Mimiron including 3 offcial hardmodes (XT, Thorim and Hodir)
Ulduar 25 up to Mimiron.
Your Role:
in essence....get hit and like it!
My primary goal is to be the best OffTank i can be as i believe this is where a druid truely shines, as MT you barely have chance to do little else that stand there getting hit and positioning the boss correctly if needed. As an OT i can use my other druid abillities to their fullest, as in Battleressing/innervating or if the MT dies/is in trouble taking over for a few hits to let the healers get him topped up and back in the action.
But saying that i want to be an OT is offcourse all fine and dandy, if i am needed to be a MT i can fufill this role more than adequately aswell.
Generally i push out about 6k TPS on a normal rotation keeping mangle debuff up at all times with 5 lacerates ticking constantly. My tanking build (http://eu.wowarmory.com/talent-calc.xml?cid=11&tal=0000000000000000000000000000553232130322010353120303010511203500010000000000000000000) is the basic one most feral tanks use as there is little room for personal preference because most of the telents are mandatory to make us viable as tanks.
My DPS gear is decent and kept up-to-date as much as i can and on static fights such as XT i can pull 6-7k pretty easily and Ignis 5-6k but these are mele friendly fights. My build here (http://eu.wowarmory.com/talent-calc.xml?cid=11&tal=0000000000000000000000000000550202032322010053120030313511203503012000000000000000000) is also pretty much standard.
I also have a viable resto set of gear so in a pinch if needed i can (and have) heal Ulduar 25 lvl encounters.
My UI:
After allmost 4 years of using the standard Blizzard UI i finally started experimenting on creating a clean and usuable (by me) UI for myself. This is still a work in progress situation for me but i have so far come up with this....

Addons:
For raids i use the X-Perl raidframes to track members HP and more importantly for a feral druid..our healers mana levels for that much needed Innervate.
Omen as you can see from my UI has gained a permanent spot and is visable at all times.
I use Deadly Boss Mods for bosses but if Big Wigs is mandatory that ofcourse will not be a problem.
Other Addons of note i use are Prat for easy chat management, SexyMap as it just looks cool and so i can hide the vast amount of buttons around it when not being used. IceHUD for my combopoints and castbar timers.
I am a Premium Member of Curse so all my addons are automatically kept up-to-date.
Alts:
Due to my funktastic worktimes i have over the years been able to level quiete a few alts so without further nonsense here they are. (Click on names for Armory Links)
Embar (http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Runetotem&n=Embar) lvl 80 Tauren Male Hunter. Profs are Mining450/JC443 with most LK patterns.
Gwynion (http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Runetotem&n=Gwynion) lvl 80 Blood Elf Female Death Knight. Profs are Herbalism450/Alchemy450 elixer master.
These 2 alts have decent Naxx10/25 gear but are mostly used to gather resources for Memeas and raiding.
Sindael (http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Runetotem&n=Sindael) lvl 78 Blood Elf Male Paladin. Profs are Mining/BlackSmith but currently not lvling them. This char is the GM of my own guild which i created so i had access to a Guild Vault and all the advantages it brings, and is also my current leveling character.
They all have epic flying.
Personal Information:
Ny name is Daniel i am a 30 year old male living in Holland working as a technician in a chain of casinos in the Hague (Scheveningen, which is the beach part of the city).
I was born in England in a place called Winchester in Hampshire but at the age of 12 my parents moved to Holland due to my fathers work as a shipbuilder. I have finally landed in the Hague where i have been for the last 8 years and worked for the same company all that time.
I have been playing computer games for nearly all my life starting with the Atari 2600, then moving onto the ZX Spectrum (still love Monty Mole) where i tried to teach myself basic programming...and failed hehe.
Moving on a few years the onset of Commodore with it's C64 and later C128 kept me busy for a long time, Apple II's and the early PCs of the day often found there way onto my desk for repairs as i was allways good a repairing things.
Nintendo's.....i've had them all except the Wii (damn awfull thing).
Playstation 1 and 2 where all bought at their EU release.
Onto present day and currently below my TV you can find a Xbox 360 and a PS3.
I started playing PC games around the same time i bought my PS and quickly got addicted to Diablo 2, Baldurs Gate and pretty much any RPG that i could get my hands on. During this time i got my first taste of Final Fantasy playing FF7, 8 and 9, when the PS2 arrived and 10 came out i knew i had to buy it. Then it came ot my attention that Square was working on a FF MMO and i just had to have it so me and a friend got 2 US versions imported and i started my first trip into the world of MMO's. During the next 4 years i played a Whitemage Tarutaru named Gokenken on Diabolos server much to my parents disgust because the europeans hadn't really gotten into FFXI so i was forced to play at night so i could group with my american friends, some of which i still have contact with allmost 9 years on.
a quick pic of my Whitemage enjoying a peacefull afternoon in FFXI....

Eventually though all good things must come to an end and FFXI became pretty much a ghost town as 1 by 1 my friends all went over to play the new MMO on the block....namely WoW, so i finally decided it was time i also saw for myself what all the fuss was about.
and that brings me to my current state which is guildless and writing what feels like my lifes story for you guys. :smile: If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to ask either here or ingame on one of my chars.
Yours sincerly Memeas
