[Accepted] Karnatz - Fury Warrior

Personal Information

Your real name: Dimitris Kofitsas
Age and Country: 22, Greece.
Tell us about yourself: Im an IT student in a college in Athens, 2nd year now and going! I've been living alone in Athens for about 3,5 years (im originally from a greek island, Rhodes). I'm just a normal person nothing really stands out as a certain interest, even though i'd consider myself an avid film-lover with a range from trashy tv series to european cinema! I like playing games in my free time, including wow, obviously. Considering that im a student, my time is mostly free so that is a lot of time usually hehe.
Tell us about your history in WoW or other MMOs: Okey. Now this is gonna take a while. !

Vanilla: I started WoW at its launch as a rogue, initially playing with a few friends in Crushridge and then getting a free transfer to Twilight's Hammer. I was instantly drawn to the raiding aspect of the game, and joined the top guild of my server back then after i farmed my shadowcraft and bought my krol blade. :p With that guild (Blackout) i cleared Onyx/MC about 5-6 months after release, horde first - server wise ofc. (had 5/8 ns + perditions when most ppl barely had shadowcraft - remember lbrs/ubrs etc were 10man instances back then!) However, considering the amount of ppl you needed it was bound to fail at some point because of the in-guild drama and the politics of running a 60man guild. When the guild disbanded, i joined along with some friends from blackout, the guild Path of Wreckage. Which was my first "hardcore" experience considering BWL was just released and provided the first challenge with timed vael etc. After some point and clear BWL, i had to quit due to problems with my connection, it could barely handle vent + 40 man raiding in BWL (isdn64k lol:P). I got back into the game a few months later rerolled to warrior, only to catch up with previous guildies and find that Path of Wreckage now had one of the top10 horde kills of KT in naxx40. I got invited back, and was rushed through aq40, and did the majority of naxx as well. A few months later, but really close to the expansion, PoW kind of disbanded, so i thought i'd wait for expansion to play again.

Tbc: My char was still in PoW when i restarted, and they were doing okeyish, with lurker below/hydross and void keeper kills. While i was still lvling, they were up to Vashj but kept wiping due to tank mc cockblock so they kind of disbanded, once again with only a few loyal ppl remaining. One of them, an officer, knew me from 60, so he made me their mt and restarted progressing. after clearing ssc and up to al'ar in TK, and being like #4 in our server, i was fed up with some people's arrogance and cluelessness (if that word even stands;p) so i applied to the top guild of my server, Amphitere. I was accepted as an offtank/dps, and cleared TK with them to gain access in hyjal. even though their world standing was relatively low, a lot of ppl were really skilled and we did mh/bt fast. i was tanking in shazz/bloodboil/council/illidan, and dpsing on all the other fights. i was awarded with Warglaives from the guild after one of the rogues got them first. that's when i fell in love with dpsing as a warrior. running around with 200 haste pots in backpacks and chaindrinking while getting bl rotations in meele group with high-end gear, such a fond memory. When Sunwell hit, i stayed up to brutallus and due to an irl problem with exams,had to quit the game to focus on my academic goals. A few months before Wotlk the bug hit me, and i decided to restart, as a rogue this time. When i got back, i found that Amphitere had disbanded, but i was invited in another guild which had cleared swp pre-buff named Paramount, which had a lot of old Amph members so ppl knew me, and knowing that the expansion was about to launch i decided to reroll rogue because of the class reign in dps rankings (i always hated the fact that as a end-game warrior with legendaries i was getting outdps'd by equally geared rogues no matter what i did).

Wotlk: I was still in paramount as i said earlier, got 80 relatively fast(3 days), and made a group with some Amphi/PoW friends cleared naxx fast and got pretty decent gear early. After a "fight" i had with a Paramount officer due to me taking "top dps" slot due to my gear cause of my early levelling i decided that it was time to move on and leave the server i played the past 4 years or so. I applied to Conspiracy (after an old friend of mine from Amphitere - Niyar, proposed to do so) and got accepted. At that time, Conspiracy was #1 of TN and had a really high eu/world ranking. i cleared everything with them, including hard modes on everything available - but a little after Ulduar hit the pts and did the majority of bosses on it except yog, i kind of burned out due to excessive raiding hours even in PTS and a heavy schedule with my college. The rogue name was Freyalise in case any of you seen me around. That has been the case so far. about a week or two ago, a neighboor of mine -Angelspit- started trying to get me to play for Cataclysm, and i thought what the hell, i should give this a shot, however not in a hardcore way like i've always used to so far. So i bought a new account and rolled this warrior from scratch.

Do you use an Authenticator?: Yes, iphone ftw!
How stable is your internet connection?: Rock solid.
How much fps do you normally have in 25man raids in combat?I do not know at the moment, unless you can count VOA25 which is the only thing i've raided with my warrior since i started the game again, because the pc composition is kinda new and did not have it when i was in cons. however, considering the amount of power my pc has atm, i'd say they would stay stable at 60.

Main spec: 18/53/0, fury with 5/5 commanding pressence for raid usage. i could drop it and go for personal gain in dps depending on what kind of buffs you want from me.
Off Spec: 5/8/58, Prot. this is a spec i made myself that i like and used to tanking heroics. decided to give up impale/deep wounds for more heavily investing in the prot tree, however if the tank dps becomes a problem i could easily drop some and go for impale/dw.
Armory Profile: http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Twisting+Nether&cn=Karnatz


Information about your Keybindings: i use a crapload of keybinds, the usual m4/m5, going to alt+1/2/3/4/5/f, c,x,f,g,r,t,`,ctrl+1/2/3,f1,f2,f3,f4,f5,shift+1. You can see them in the UI pic as to where they correspond.
Do you have Ventrilo and a working microphone?: Yes.
Previous PvE Experience:
Classic: Everything except KT/4hm
TBC: everything except m'uru/ereder/kj (note: everything before it was nerfed due to next instance being available)
WotLK: naxx/mael/sarth inculding hard modes, and ulduar in pts. (did gotta go 2min when it was harder than normal modes of raid instances, malygos 5min with ilvl200/213 gear etc)
Hodir rep level : exalted
First aid level : 450
Do you have any PvP experience? If so what rating and bracket? i used to be the best dueller rogue in Vanilla in my server, ppl knew me from that, mostly because of the 120 energy which was the shit back then. had rank11 toon in Stormscale, which was the top pvp server in vanilla. in tbc, i played as a gladiator the first 2 seasons, up to 2200's, and then at the 3rd season again just for kicks with full pve gear and resto shaman to gimp everyone with rng sword spec/wf procs with cataclysm's edge. in Wotlk i didnt bother at all even though i liked the rush style it had in the beggining. but new server, hardcore guild, college didnt really leave me much time outside raiding.
Do you have any out of game skills useful to the guild like web designing or movie making?: i have not done anything except some basic dreamweaver so far so no! movie making on the other hand, i was thinking of actually getting into it now that i have a powerful enough pc to fraps while i play.
List names and class of every character you played at least up to level 70+(Experience with other classes is a small plus)most of my time has been spent on warrior and rogue, and i never liked alts, however, seriously, wow is no rocket science, all classes are easy to play with some basic reading and then practice. if you're a gamer, you can play anything.

Do you know anyone from Results May Vary?Angelspit, Naveine, Nuwin, Voltus
What do you expect from Results May Vary?I expect a family atmosphere, i expect people who will give their best shot when trying an encounter, new content, or generally playing wow, and i expect playing with friends.
Are you fine with respeccing to a spec of the guilds need? I am fine with it, i consider myself equally skillful no matter the spec, however i'd prefer to be considered as fury, the tanking part makes me cranky at times.
We raid Thursday and Monday 19:00-23:00. Does the times suit you? The times are fine.
How active do you plan to be? What days can you and cant you raid? I've always been a ~100% attendance raiding, i do not plan to change my habits now. 2 days a week is no biggie, and is gonna be a welcome change to my ways.
Who controls your game time? (Wife/Girlfriend etc) No-one. i control my gametime.
Any additional information you need to tell us? Yes. im sorry that i fail horribly to match your gear requirements, however please do take into consideration that i just restarted playing wow, and i leveled this char from scratch and already in 2 weeks i got what i have including proff's lvl 80 and everything just to apply asap to you guys. I really want to be a part of your guild, and i assure you that you would be recruiting someone who will always be competing for the top of the dps meter (given the gear/class ability to do so), that will always provide useful input on fights and that has vast experience and knowledge of this game along with being really loyal to guilds. As you can see i was in certain guilds all these years without changing much. Finally, i'd like to be excused for any syntax or grammar errors, do consider that english is not my native language. Thanks in advance for taking this application into consideration.

Post a Picture of your UI (User interface):



p.s greek joke - note the name of the warrior im targetting.. MARTAKIS. orc warrior. jesus christ.

Hello Karnatz!
Thank you for a nice read and an excellent application!
a TLDR version for the lazy eyes: "played and excelled in top guilds in the past, now 232 ilvl gear and haven't been in ICC before"
Btw, what happened to your old account and to your rogue (you write you bought a new account)?

Good luck with the application.

I had to give them away in order to stay true to my word to stay away from the game. every time i tried to quit wow when i still had an account, i always sneaked back on it on the first time i was bored. yeah, it sounds a bit overblown, but it was true in my case. the rogue is still somewhere being played, since i gave it to a close friend of a friend, but i do not know anything about the current whereabouts of the warrior, since someone moved it off my original account when i stopped and that's nearly 2 years ago or something so it's a bit blurry. oh well. i didnt care enough for novelty items anyway, so it was no biggie for me to get a new acc. if for whatever reason you want proof of me being the one im saying, i still have some screenshots that survived numerous formats all these years, plus i bet i can find ppl/wowforum posts to justify my identity.

Thanks =) oh and yes, i have not been in icc before, even though i hope the alt guild makes some kind of a 10man this week:P but i wont have a problem adjusting to anything, really, i mean encounter wise. edit: sorry for the wall of text, im just really talkative at times .

I remember doing the 8-man naxx achievement with your rogue... Was very baffled how much dps you could do with FOK

I've seen him playing with his rogue and he was really good while he was still in conspiracy. Great guy and great player. If we could vouch, i would definitely vouch for him.

Gl with your application.

I was your replacement in Conspiracy After Freyalise they got another greek rogue under the name of Deathomen which happens to be me ! So definately vouch for a guy that could stand Highfives shit accent, Hack who was screaming like a little fag in vent and for knowning Compo and Winst (Winst with his awesome whining on rogue channel !).

I also knew him from back then, and yeah i'll agree with everything that naveine told ^^ Good luck with with your application Dimitri!! xD

Accepted for trial.

Welcome.
