Scaramungaa, Retribution Paladin

Personal Information
Your real name: Kevin Gibson
Age and Country: 28 United Kingdom
Tell us about yourself: I am a hard working, hard playing individual with an eye for perfection. I am not happy unless I do anything to the best of my ability weather that be my job or a game.
Tell us about your history in WoW or other MMO's:

My first dip into the wide world of the MMO was in Dark Age of Camelot where I played with a set group of 8 players for more then 6 years. We played on every combination of race with every class / comp for 8v8 and zerg farming imaginable. The group was extremely successful earning quite a name for ourselves on the Dyvet (English) and the German "Super-cluster". I also have 3 EvE Online accounts that have been open for when I feel the need to part people of their hard earned with a internet spaceship "pewpew"

My WoW days started a week after the release of Black Temple when a friend of mine from DAoC asked if I wanted to level a char with him. I said yes and started on my warrior - Thekev - levelled from 11 as Prot and loved every moment of it. As we hit 70 we formed a 10 man guild called Fury Unleashed and got the rest of my DAoC friends to roll with us. We cleared all 10 man content up untill the release of Warhammer Online when the majority of the players left for that game. On a short note - it was shit so i came back a month after and started to level my warrior in WotLK.

As I hit 80 I joined the guild Fully Loaded and proceeded to main tank Naxxramus immortal attempts and lead one of the guilds 10 man squads. My 10 man was the first in the guild to complete the Undying and collect our drakes. As Ulduar hit I was promoted to the status of Raid Leader in the guild and was responsible for leading the guild through all successful "First Kills" of the hard-modes inside (FL+4, XT-002, Hodir, Thorim, General Vezax). I also lead the way through all first kills of the normal and hard-mode encounters in ToTGC (NB, Lord Jaraxus, Faction Champs) As we progressed on towards killing the Twins my position in the guild became untenable when an internal argument with a fellow raid leader caused a rift forcing me to make the hard decision to leave the guild.

Unfortunately my Warrior's UI is outdated.

i ve been in FL with my priest (before i switched to alliance) when thekev was Main tank there, this is the type of person/player we need. Not that i have alot to say in here but a vouch from me

I've played with Thekev as well for my short period that i was in Fully Loaded. One of the greatest players that i had ever had the chance to play with . I definetely agree with Zulma and he gets my vouch.


Good luck with your application

Not to bitch and moan, but we kinda do have 3 quite active Retribution paladins already
And not having an OS is kinda fail... Nobody is going to take your alt to tank when the need arises on specific bosses.

And your duals gems are more than trash... ghem... "Does not get my vote. sorry"

Good luck with application.

Cheers for kind words

I do know that my offpiece gems are abit faff but they fit for the type of gear i was wearing at the time. Due to general pugging they are "good enough" but if in a guild i would swap my meta for 21 agil 3% crit with 1 nightmare tear and crit / str gem to meet the meta requirements then fill the rest with haste / str epics. My "alt" tank is better geared then most people's mains even in this tier of content.

Just for the people that applying and the people in RMV to know the recruitment in this guild is not a democratic voting its a decision of guild master/officer.Make comments dont vote...

I have tanked alonside Thekev while i was in Fully Loaded. He is a gifted raid leader, a good player, has a nice workaround on tacticts and a good tank. As Onewinged kindly mentioned :-P his pala gear might not be that awesome, but he has some skills to cover for it and his warrior is way better geared.
It was so much fun having him on vent barking instrucions and tactics. If he joins i believe he will bring a positive spirit and a solid attitude towards the goals of the guild.

I believe that the only issue that might arise is the fact that we already have 3 rets, 2 healadins and 2 warrior tanks. And everyone is active. If we find a way to bypass this barrier (looking forward to the future of 10 man hc modes and having 4 solid tanks) i consider that Kevin is going to be a good addition to the guild and will deliver what he promises.

Just my 2 cents.

Good luck.
