[Accepted] Balance / Restoration Druid

Personal Information
Your real name: Dimitris
Age and Country: 16,5 , Greece
Tell us about yourself: I am an experienced, dedicated and cheerful guy who enjoys every aspect of the game, be it raiding, slacking in Org, or PvP.
Tell us about your history in WoW or other MMOs: I started playing WoW on February 2006 and rolled alliance like most 13 year olds do. In June 2006 I got kinda bored with my alliance chars so I rerolled to an orc warrior. I played with him since they launch of the new arena system back in 1.12 and reached rank 8. I made a short break from WoW and continued playing just a few months before the release of BC. I rerolled again alliance on Sylvannas with some buddies and played with some guys from Method until level 65 and returned to my warrior. I levelled him to 80 and cleared t4 content with a guild of which the GM had to quit wow, so we reformed it with me being the main tank in SSC and occasionally the raid leader. The guild disbanded and I decided to focus in PvP. I levelled a mage and played pvp with my warrior and my mage until March 2008. I created a druid in TN to play arena with some friends and in late june I joined Massive Attack. We cleared BT and started progressing in SWP. After endless 1-5% wipes in Kalcegos, people knew that even If we would make it past him, it would be very hard for us to get Brutallus so we had several people quitting wow/changing guild. During this period I also got an officer slot in MA and with solid new recruits we were ready for SWP again. Kalcegos didn’t fall but after the nerfbat we managed to clear SWP entirely in 1-2 weeks.
PS: I was resto in BC, but I had some raids in SWP after the nerf as balance since it was finally made a viable spec for raiding back then.
Info about your computer and internet connection: My pc is more than enough for wow. 2 gig of ram and one of the best Nvidia geforce graphic cards out there.
How stable is your internet connection?: Very stable.
How much fps do you normally have in 25man raids in combat? Around 40 with all the required addons running.
Did you read and understand the criteria for joining us inside the "Application Template"? Yes

Using 1-5, most buttons around WASD and their Shift combinations. Also got binds on 3 mouse buttons and using F1-F4 for buffs and resses.

Previous PvE Experience:
Classic: Little ZG and AQ20
TBC: t4 content obsiously cleared
T5 content cleared (all bosses before major nerf). Killed few SSC bosses before attunement removal.
Mount Hyjal 5/5 In June 2008, and BT 9/9 In July 2008 with Massive Attack.
Sunwell cleared
WotLK: Cleared Naxx/OS and EoE both 10 and 25 man. I haven’t managed to get 3DU since I stopped playing wow a few weeks before we finally got them with Massive. I also joined several Ulduar pugs to get used to it and did the first few 6 bosses.

Hodir rep level : 12250/21000 now but I got like 275 relics so I will be exalted in a few days.
First aid level : 439- Enough to make the best bandages available.
Do you have any PvP experience? If so what rating and bracket? (High rating players is a huge plus)
In Vanilla with my warrior I got to rank 8.
Season 2: Warrior 2v2 – 1800 5v5 – 1850
Season 3: Mage 2v2 1950, 3v3 1850.
I tried to push to Glad with my druid in the last few weeks of s3 but didn’t manage to since I was facing some connection problems with my old provider so I decided to stop playing at around 1900/1800 since I was having very frequent d/cs. (Any greeks who had had Altec will understand me)
I didn’t play a lot in S4 but managed to reach 2k or so with my mage since arcane was overpowered back then.
In Wotlk I haven’t pvp’d much. Reached 1750 as balance in S5 and now I was at around 1700 as Resto in s6.

Do you have any out of game skills useful to the guild like web designing or movie making?: Nope.


What do you expect from Results May Vary? I expect a causal and friendly enviroment in which people actually take raids seriously. I would like to progress through Ulduar and clear as many Hard Modes as possible with my old friends, and people I will have the chance to meet.
Are you fine with respeccing to a spec of the guilds need? Absolutely, I can play both as balance and restoration depending on the guild's needs.
We raid Thursday, Sunday and Monday 19:00-23:30. Does the times suit you? The raid times suit me but I am not totally sure whether I can attend the whole Sunday raid.
How active do you plan to be? What days can you and cant you raid? I will try to keep my attendance as high as possible. Thursday and Monday totally suit me.
Any additional information you need to tell us?
At February I made a break from WoW (mostly because I was totally bored from the game and PvP was really disappointing as a druid). I started playing again 10 days ago so I am not the person that has a full set of Ulduar gear but I think that I can perform pretty well from what I’ve seen until now.
I was informed about the guild by my friends Voltus and Nuwin and I would really like to raid again with them as well as with Stigma. I have also played some arena back in BC with Chinga and Karagkioz and I think they are really cool guys.
My favorite wow related websites are EJ and mmo-champion and of course the almighty DL comics

Post a Picture of your UI (User interface):

For an unkown reason, the links I have posted didn't seem to work. Never had a problem with links etc so looks kinda strange.

I think the links still don't work so you'll have to c/p them it seems.

Hi!
You need to register your username on the forums in order to be able to post links.
The application is very informative, honest and nice, so i am looking forward to seeing what Voltus, Nuwin and most of all Karagioz has to say.

Since you haven't bought the offspec ability, i am wondering how much gold you have atm and if you would be able to afford 4 weekly respecs (number is random) from Balance spec to Resto and the other way around. Also i am not sure how an ex-officer can cope with sitouts, since the healing situation is very tight.

Personally i wouldn't enjoy having another healer (unless it's a paladin) or another greek in the guild (unless it's Blacksatin). But it's the officers' call.

GL.

I like this chicken! We have done many runs together and he has my vouch.

Good luck mate, I hope to team up again together!

Carth, why not another Greek except Blacksatin?

So you enjoy having people disconnect alot during raids?

Yes, I have more than a few couple of thousands of gold so buying the off-spec wouldn't be a problem for me.
As I was informed I think you have 1 balance and 2 or more restoration druids so I am more than happy to join and raid as balance.
This is my armory link
You can probably see myself as resto with my restoration gear on there. To be honest, my balance gear is better than my resto gear since I've been mostly raiding as balance in Wotlk.

Update: 19200/21000 Revered with Sons, I'll be exalted tomorrow.

I have 3 questions for you, 1: Since you are 16 years old... do you or your parents control you game time? Since that is the reason most guilds refuse to take members bellow the age of 18.
2: Seeing as you have been taking breaks and rerolling alot in the past I cannot help but be doubtfull you might reroll once druids gets a nerf or quit the game or something. What are you future plans?
3: Why are sundays a bad raiding day for you?

1) Absolutely not, I have been raiding since early BC and I never had my parents control my game time.

2) My future plans is to fully concertrate on my druid. By reading my apply you can see that I have rerolled some times but this happened only when was guildless. Both my RL and game friends are playing here and there is no possiblity I am going to quit TN and my druid for somewhere else or for another char. Last but not least, as of 9/7/2009 I have never left a raiding guild unless it was disbanded. RMV is the only guild I have applied with my Druid right now since I think it's not a nice thing to have 2 open applications in the same time and RMV was my first choice.

3) We sometimes hang out with friends or play some LANs together. Since this day is flexible and since you are raiding 3 times a week, I will try to change this day to Friday in the most weeks.
Sunday may not be the best day for me but I will try to attend a good amount of Sunday raids.

I have raid with Xontroula too, and he is very nice dps and was very active (100% i think) nice person and social,would be nice to have you with us m8.

Good luck!
