re: Zyph - Combat Rogue - Raiding app - DECLINED

Questions for all applicants:

1. What is your name, age and location?

Lauri, 23-years old and hail from Helsinki, Finland.

2. What is your characters name, level, class, spec and professions? (please provide us with a link to your armoury.)

Character: Zyph, L80 Combat Rogue.
Professions: Enchanting (450) & Inscription (450)
Armory
WoW-Heroes

3. Why are you applying to Forsaken Enlightenment and what are your expectations from the guild?

I just re-activated my account after being inactive since january which is when my previous raiding guild (Deliverance) got disbanded. At that time I didn't have the energy to start and look for a new guild that would suite my needs so I ended up taking a break of the game instead.
Now I'm back however and figured I'd have to start the hunt again. I'm looking for a guild with a relaxed atmosphere that's also atleast somewhat active outside scheduled raids also. Meaning that there's chatting going on on the guild channel & forums, instead of being limited to "hello", "bye" and "grats" and people atleast occasionally want to do the weekly raid & daily heroics with guildmates.
I also enjoy raiding, but I don't want it to feel like work becouse that takes the fun out of it and why do we play games? To have fun, well I atleast Happy For what I've gathered so far FE just might be a guild that fills the criterias.

4. Do you know any current Guild member and how did you hear about us?

I went to check out the member roster at WoW-Heroes and were (positevely) surprised to see some familiar names there. Recognized lots of people from my time in KotH such as Chrism, Wizzbosh and Earthwormjim to name a few Happy

5. What other guilds have you been in and why did you leave them? Do you currently have any other applications pending with other guilds?

On Emerald Dream I've been part of Knights of the Heart and Deliverance.
KotH I left for a couple of reasons. One being the fact that my RL buddies had left the guild also and there started to be some turbulence in the air for various reasons, but suppose the main reason in the end was that I wanted to take steps forward when it came to raid progression while the guild was forced to take steps backwards. The people in the guild were great though, so it was a hard decision for me to leave.
As for Deliverance, I really enjoyed my time there, but unfortunateley the officers grew tired and ultimateley decided to disband the guild in january, which was a shame.

I don't have any other applications pending.

6. Tell us what special qualities you will bring to Forsaken Enlightenment.

I'm a teamplayer to the end and am willing to run against a brickwall as long as the RaidLeader asks me to even if it makes my forehead look like unicorns without much to show for it :D
I also have odd/wicked/bad(?) sense of humor, especially if I for whatever reason decide to login while drunk... :D
Also a very active forumwhore, generally have guild forums etc ALWAYS open in my browser and I'm obsessed to refresh constantly... Happy

7. Are you interested in becoming a social or raiding member of Forsaken Enlightenment, if social thank you for your application, if raiding please complete the next section.

Would like to become a raiding member.

Questions for raiders only:

What is your raiding spec and your duel spec if you have one, which do you prefer to play and why?

Combat 20/51/0 (main)
Assasination 51/18/2 (off)

I use the Combat spec however, haven't ever raided with the Assasination spec yet. That's partially since I don't have the proper tool for it and on another hand I just love Combat.
Oh, and just as a sidenote; I replace the FoK glyph for ToT when raiding.
FoK has been there just for HC and solo purposes.

How do you keep yourself up to date on the latest developments of your class? Do you visit any websites for this?

Ofcourse by keeping an eye on rogue chainges in patch notes and I also take pointers from Elitist Jerks

Comment on your talents and glyphs. Why did you choose them? What do you think of other builds of your class? Why didn't you choose one of those?

I update my builds to always give the best raid performance possible and my glyph choices reflect on that as well.
I love Combat becouse of all the CD abilities and the ease of switching between targets fast without losing much dps in the transition, but also curious to try out Assasination properly if I only had proper weapons for it.

Do you have control of your own time i.e. if you sign and are selected for a raid can you guarantee (disasters and acts of god permitting) that you will be available until raid end time.

Well I do live on my own, or rather with my girlfriend actually (does that count as a disaster? :D ), so mommy won't cut the network cable if I'm up too late Happy
Ofcourse I must occasionally spend some of that "quality time" with the missus, but when this is the case I won't sign for the raid that night or atleast withdraw my signin in time. Hasn't been a problem before Happy

When are you usually available for raiding (specific days of the week and preferred hours) have you taken note of our raiding days and do they fit into your schedule?

I have viewed FE's raiding schedule and I see no problems with it.

What add-ons do you like to use for raids?

I have lots, let's see;
ClassTimer, DBM, Elkano's BuffBars, IceHUD, Omen, oRA2, Recount, SatrinaBuffFrame, SCT(D) and X-Perl are the ones that have something to do with raiding atleast. Then I have big bunch of other stuff also, but that's not relevant.

What raiding experience do you have and what role has this been in?

In WotLK:

VoA10 & 25: 3/4
Naxx10 & 25: CLEARED
ToC10 & 25: CLEARED + some hardmodes
Uld10 & 25: CLEARED + some hardmodes
ICC 10 & 25: 4/12

Also cleared Onyxia & OS, but never got a group for EOE :o

What raids do you believe you are geared for?

It's enough for ICC25, atleast had no problems with the first wing Happy

Have you tried and/or completed any raid achievements and hard modes? What do you think of them and would you like to try more in the future?

Yeah, some. Must in all honesty say that I can remember which I have completed, but I know I've been part of HM Flame Leviathan and the Iron Council trio in Uld and think that I have completed HM of ToC10 atleast.
I don't mind doing them, some extra challenge Happy

Some difficult scenarios

An Officer or fellow member offers you some advice on how to improve your play, be it through rotations, talents or gem and enchant suggestions, how do you feel?

I'm always aiming to be the best I can and try to tweak my character for optimal performance so naturally I'm open for constructive criticism.
As long as the sentence doesn't start with "LOL, are you stupid or something..." or something equal otherwise I might bounce back.
So in a nutshell; haven't got a problem with it as long as the advice/suggestion is presented in a polite manner.

An item that you desperately want drops from ICC 25 you register your interest but the loot council awards it to another player as is it a bigger upgrade or their attendance has been better, how do you react?

I see loot as a tool for guild progress.
I won't lie though; suppose I feel a sting especially if it's a BiS item I've been after for a long time, but on the other hand I turn it quickly around by thoughts of me having a better chance of getting the item in question the next time it drops as there's now less competition.
I'm far from obsessed with loot, but everyone must agree that it's still nice to get stuff Happy

In order to balance a raid for an encounter or because there are far to many signs the raidleader places you on standby for the second time running, but another member of your class is in the raid for the third time in a row. What do you do?

Depends a little, really.
I might politeley inform the RaidLeader about this, but wouldn't make a scene or start bitching about it. I'd happily be as standby especially as you still apparently get EP for it Happy

After a heavy night of raiding another member makes a comment about your performance which may not be called for, how do you react?

I'll shrug it off. If someone want to act immatureley it's their problem. Raids are team efforts anyhow, I like to judge performance on a larger scale, not necessarily individually.
As they say: "Never argue with an idiot; they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience" Happy

We are wiping..... all night...... getting the raid and the tactics right, your repair bill is going through the roof and not much progression is happening, how do you feel?

I don't mind, honestly.
As according to the story Edison said "I have not failed 1,000 times. I have successfully discovered 1,000 ways to NOT make a light bulb." I like to think that we learn something with every wipe and will eventually reach the goal we're spilling blood for.
What fun would this game be if you'd oneshot everything?

Feared as much confused
Well let me know in anycase how you decide regarding the social membership. Think I'll in the meanhile exhaust my other options and check back here later.
Guess being even a social member would be a start. I'd just love to get the chance to see the content I've been missing out on in ICC, but hate PUGing raids Happy

I were the wacko who followed Spruchek and Nacmara to Emerald Dream from Moonglade.
That was a long time ago though!

Cheers! Happy

I thank you for providing me the opportunity to join your guild, but unfortunateley I've decided to withdraw my application for now.
I were very recently offered a raiding spot in another guild and I think I'm going to take them up on the offer.

I wish you guys all the best, have fun out there! wink
