[Accepted] Coríanna - mage

Personal Information
Your real name: Ari
Age and Country: 34, Finland
Tell us about yourself: What can I say.. Loser who still plays this god forsaken game. Wife and kid and I work in telecommunications.
Tell us about your history in WoW or other MMOs: Started playing 11/2004 (US open beta) and played warlock back then. Nothing fancy, just MC and 3 1st bosses from BWL. Summer 2006 decided to get EU version of the game (had to wake up 3am for raids, lol) and leveled a warrior. Main tanked from MC to SWP (had a small break when SWP arrived cuz of my daughters birth). So, all done except SWP before the infamous nerf patch.

After my friend moved to horde side, I decided to follow and leveled a mage. All went smoothly and I really enjoyed mage playing because I really got fed up tanking (oh well, looking mobs feet years after years really isn't that glorious). Mage was leveled and ready to blink to new encounters before Ulduar patch and progressed up to Yoggie. That time my friend quit playing and I decided to migrate and race change to my old alliance guild. There progressed through Ulduar (only 2 achis missing from GotUr) and both 10 and 25 versions of Trial of the Crusader. Tribute of Insanity gained on 10man and HC Anub with 25 attempts remaining. Now that everything is easier and epix gets mailed to players, I also went and got 25man Tribute to Insanity. ICC patch day started with 4 oneshots on 25man and decided to have a break. Months of training HC Anub and that deadly boring "room" was enough.

And then the present situation as follows:
A friend who got me to TN in the first place started playing again.. So.. I had no choice but move mage back to TN and here I am.. Long story short.. Raids on my alliance guild started 19:30 finnish time, and it is way too early for me.

Post a Picture of your UI (User interface):
UI screenshot

Really nice app and impressive TOC form. Would like to see more ICC gear and tier items however, but considering you just started again i guess you not had too much time. Its obvious from the achieve you are a good player but the only thing that worries me is that if you were successful and became a member would you soon give up again like previously due to friends, RL, boredom etc?

Would be nice to have a few more oldies in the place!

Good luck!

I love to raid. Haven't found a guild who meets my limited playtime which I currently have and yet offers some progress. Before my daughters birth I lived in this game. It wears anyone off eventually. Anyway, updated apply with UI screenshot.

ps. I have emblems for one T10 piece but I don't want to break 4T9 bonus without 2 pieces. Just need to keep on struggling with pugs and dailies or get lucky in VOA.

Hello Corianna,

Well, I see good things in your application and your armory profile but still you are some undergeared than what we want atm. Also I have a question about if you can keep almost 100% attendance in the raids which is that what we are looking for, and ofc we don't want someone who is gonna quit again.. at least till the Cataclysm comes out.

Atm, we got a Mage on trial also, please give us some more time to decide till you gearing up again your char meanwhile.

Thanks for your reply. With 2 nights/week I'm for sure able to raid 100% and that's what I have been looking for. I'll gear up and wait for your decision.

How many frost emblems you got so far? (for the rest two tiers)

Are you willing to craft the leggings?

37 frost emblems I think. It is better to go with Meteor chasers robe and tier legs but guess I can get the leggings crafted. Takes a while to get emblems for all needed tier items, belt and robe.

Also, neck is on the shopping list. Haven't seen one for reasonable price.

Set4 Bonus + Crafted legs are better for Arcane instead of Set4 + Meteor. Mainly because of more Haste that you need as Arcane.

And If you had in your mind to buy the Meteor chest then why you bought the T10 chest for 95 emblems? Anyway. I suggest you first of all to target on tier bonuses and skip the random items.

Very soon you will have the final answer. Possible before this week's reset.

You r absolutely right. Changing staff to one with +hit makes leggings BiS.

I couldn't find you online today.

Please contact me in game for a small chat before a possible trial.

Accepted for trial.

Welcome.
