Juicy Details about your RL: Hello everyone, my name is Theo I´m 13 years old, 14 in august and I live in Stockholm Sweden. On my spare time I like to hang out with friends, skate, ski and listen to music. I know that some people Is going to say that young people don´t understand what to do and what stuff means but that Is definitely not the case. I´ve been playing WoW for about 3 years now and I´m very experience with raiding and being In a raiding guild. I`m currently in a raiding guild, we are 1/8 HC mode and I´m probably one of the more experienced ones in the guild. My parents is very proud of me when they see me talk on ventrilo and when I´m raiding cuz I´m from Sweden and here we don´t have english as our main language and i have pretty much learnt fluently english from raiding and just playing WoW in general.
Why you did choose your spec/class: Well it all started back in WotLK when was haning out in Dalaran on my deathknight, I saw this disc priest from The New Expidition I can´t remember the name tho but it was a human priest and the moment I saw it I knew that i had to level a priest. So my journey started and the first day I dinged 80 my guild boosted me in ICC and it was the most fun I ever had. I remember how i the next day put my alarm at 6o clock in the morning to get up and play on my priest and I have never felt like that with any other class that i have played. That was a bit about why i made my character and choose to be a priest. About my specc: I have always been Discipline since i first made my character so i know it pretty much inside and out. I play without atonement wich means that I dont use smite to heal. The specc i have is what i think the best specc to go with if you are priest and don´t like to smite heal. You could go with only 1/2 in Insporation and take 1/1 in Desperate prayer but i prefer to have 2/2 in Insporation.
Wow history - previous guilds and raid experience: The first character i made was a Tauren warrior, that was in the middle of TBC and i didn´t reach lv 70 before WotLK was realised but i was high enough level to make a DK and it bacame my main. I reached level 80 but desided to make a priest, I wrote the story about my priest in the " Why did you choose your spec/class section so i wount write it again. The first guild that i raided with was Shadowsong back in WotLK on my Deathknight and i got 11/12 N 1/12 HC. Once i leveld my priest up I got 9/12 N 2/12 HC. I took a break from WoW in the middle of WotLK till around 1 month before Cataclysm came out thats why i don´t have that great experience in the WotLK raids. Cataclysm experience: BWD: 6/6 N 2/6 HC. BoT: 4/4 N 0/4 HC. Tot4W: 2/2N 0/2 HC. Firelands: 7/7 N 6/7 HC. DS 8/8 N 1/8 HC.I´m currently in a guild called The unyielding and i want to leave them because it doesn´t feel like they take raiding seriously anymore. Many good people have left and many bad people have joined+ There are people not showing up for the raids which is really annoying. Before that i was in a guild on the horde side called Conflux we split up because of our raid leader being a complete idiot ( pardon my language ) but he was really rude, so everyone left and went on with there own WoW lives. I think that was all of the raiding guild that i have been with. I´ve been making a lot of pugs with my friends which has been quite succesful.
Why you want to join our guild: Well i noticed that you were in need of a discipline priest and i think that i might be the priest for you. The Last Hope seems like a good and friendly Semi-Hardcore guild which is what i am looking for.It would also be nice to only raid 3 days a week since 4 days can get a bit much sometimes.
How active you are: I´m very active and I´m online for about 6 hours a day. I´m always active and talking in Guildchat and speaking on ventrilo. Now that it is winter it might be a bit less since i ski 2 times a week (tuesdays and fridays 19.00-21.00) luckily you don´t raid any of these days.
Raid attendance: I can come on all the raids and i will inform you if there is an emergency and i can´t make it. BTW my parents have never and will never go into my room and tell me to turn of my computer while I´m raiding (just making it clear). I´m currently raiding 4 days a week 19.45-23.00 and it has never been a problem.
What addons you are using: ForteXorcist, DBM, recount, atlas loot, Mik Scrolling battle text, Omen threat meter, omniCC, quartz 3, Satrina Buff frame, sexymap, Ingela´s rupture, Bartender, Power auras, Addon control panel and NPC scan. I think that was all of them :D.
Requirements: I think i meet up to all the requirements, I know my class inside and out, I have a stable internet, I have ventrilo and a working mic, I have the right glyphs, enchants and reforges. BTW many thirteen year wouldn´t talk on ventrilo cus of them not being comfortable with there voices and stuff but that has never been a problem for me since i have always been treated good and judged for the person I am and not for my voice or age and I hope I will be treated like that here too. BTW I have 2 types of reforging sets, I have one where i go for full haste+crit that is my raid healing set. My second set is a tank healing set where i reforge everything to mastery.
I think that was all if I forgot anything make sure to tell me. Thank you for reading and I´ll talk to you soon. Peace!
Well firstly I'd like to say, this is truly a very good application, you've mentioned a great deal of details that we normally have to ask people, and for that I'm grateful.
As you mentioned yourself, younger players are generally not accepted in the top guilds, and while we do have an age policy in the guild, I believe from your language and form of writing that you could be quite mature despite your age, so we will look at your application, although with a pinch of salt.
As far as gear goes, you are quite geared, and fully enchanted/gemmed. I am however curious about your feet enchants, as most of our players tend to take the Lavawalker enchant for increased mobility in fights where running around is extremely important. I also see that you do not have a full level crafting proffession, and while this is not exactly a necessity, it does greatly increase one's raid performance due to buffs/extra enchants, and I would strongly suggest you do level one if youi can.
As for your Talents, you mentioned you do not smite-heal. This happens to be one of the great advantages of a Discipline priest, and while in certain fights DPS is not an issue at all, in fights like Ultraxion and Yor'Sahj Heroic it is paramount for even our healers to do the most Dps they possibly can, so I'm wondering if you would consider changing your specc a little, if only just for such fights?
Your experience seems decent, and I see you've killed Morchok HC once as well, which is a bonus. There is however the fact that at times, we require our players to be standby, especially on fights like Ultraxion where only 2 healers are required. Would you be able to deal with being Standby for multiple raids at a time, if the need for progress arises? We generally try and switch our healers around of course, but on certain progress fights it is imperative to have a certain healing setup, and as such it may happen that you are standby for multiple raids at a time.
Thats all my questions for now, and again, good luck with your application.
I know that being in a top guild on the server does require lots of experience, not just raiding experiece but also social experience and teamork etc. Even tho i´m quite young i think I have the experience that is required for being in a top guild on the server. To the feet enchant, I´m going to change it to Lavawalker since it is very useful to have the movement increase on some encounters (just as you said). About the proffesion, I am going to level alchemy to 525 in the near foture since the 80+Intellect is very good + I´ll be albe to bring couldrons to the raid which always seems to be appreciated. On the Heroic fights where the enrage timer is very limited I will respecc to smite healing, just need to get used to it since it was quite a while since i last played it. Last but not least. Having a standby spot for a couple of raids wouldn´t be any problem at all, I´ve dealt with it before and it isn´t that big of a deal. That was all I think, thanks for a quick reply. :)
Well I appreciate your response, and I'm very happy you're willing to make changes to suit the guild. That's all my questions for now, let's see if Hanna has any for you :)
I`m glad to hear your happy :). I´ve got to known smite healing a bit better now and I must say it is really good, I tested my dps on dummy and i did about 11-12K which is amazing. I´ve started leveling alchemy too, I´m at about 400 skill and I´m hoping to have 525 by tomorrow. Thank you.
Taking 2 points in Evangelism and 1 point in Archangel would mean that i would have to take out 2 points from Vieled Shadows and 1 point from Inner Sanctum since they probably are my weakest talents. That wouldn´t be much of a problem tho since I hardly never go oom and the reduced spell damage taken from Inner Sanctum isn´t really needed. But in DS normal the healing is very low and if your dps isn´t horrible you wount have any problem with killing a boss before he enrages. As for HC morchok which is the only heroic encounter that i have faced in DS I have reforged everything to mastery and just bubble spam everyone and since we used 4 healers the healing wasn´t a problem. But when i get into some harder HC fights i will definitely change my my specc since the damage+the healing will be much more intense.
Assume that you are planning to reforge /gem / enchant for an upcoming progression boss in order to maximize your output. Under which scenario and why would you:
Prioritize mastery over haste & crit
Prioritize haste or crit over mastery
Prioritize crit > haste > mastery
i see you have 2 discipline speccs are you using both for pve,
if it's an yes,
what makes the difference to have those 2 speccs ?
would you mind to go holy if it's better for your output on a fight?
if it's an no,
would you mind to change your pvp/lol specc for an improvement on healing? As example an holy specc, or an pure tank healing specc.
Are you familiar with healing in different rotations ?
i see your bussy on lvling alchemy. But why skinning as second an proffession? proffessions like leatherworking gives you an 80 intellect bonus.
And your 13 are you able to afford an faction change? (i remember 25 euro's was alot to me when i was 13 )
About your UI:
why are your action bars that big ? do you think you could use that space more usefull by holding it empty to see shit on the floor ?
Also for your recount you can minimalize it by loads the only thing you want actually for is too see the numbers what only cares after the fight not during one.
And the cooldown timer, in my opinion it is useless since you can easily see when your own procs/buffs/trinkets are gone.
i think your UI is way too messy.
Overall your application looks good, and you sound like an expierenced raider.
1. I would prioritize mastery for bosses where i either tank heal or bubble spam, like Morchok HC where pretty much all I do is bubble spamming.
2. I prioritize haste/crit for encounters where there is alot of raid healing needed, some would say that mastery is better for raid healing since Divine aegis absorb more but that is not the case. It has been proven that haste/crit is more useful since your Divine Aegis procs more which means more absorbs in the end.
3. There wouldn´t actually be a fight where I would reforge everything to crit since then it is RNG which can screw up the raid sometimes, I´d rather be safe then sorry.
1. Yes i have 2 disc speccs and both are for PvE, one is smite healing which I will use on bosses like Ultraxion and Yor Sahj where the enrage timers are very slim. The other one is just a regular all round healing specc which I use when we don´t need the extra dps.
2. Yes going Holy wouldn´t be a problem at all. Just need a bit or practise with it.
Well I got skinning just so I could make some extra gold, but now that gold isn´t a problem for me anymore I´m thinking about changing it for something else.
Yes I will afford a faction change, otherwise I wouldn´t apply. :)
UI: I know it is a bit messy, just downloaded the cooldown/proc helper but when I went in to a LFR to try it out and my AoEs affected much more people I realised that it was WAY to messy so i´m not using that anymore.
I know that my action bars are a bit big, thats just the way I like to have them but the day I fail because of it I´ll make them smaller.
You are right about the recount it is actually really big, gonna make it smaller.
For the rotation part, as healer you dont have any specific rotation that you have to follow but here are some things that i try to keep in mind ( this is for tank healing ). Use penance of CD, Prayer of Mending of CD and Power word Shield of CD. Use greater heal as much as possible so you can use Power word Shield and Inner Focus more, if the Tank is going to take a lot of damage I will use Pain Suppression. If the tank is getting really low and needs a fast heal i will use Flash Heal to get him up asap. For the raid healing. If the whole raid is going to take a lot of Damage and is stacked up i will use Power word Barrier followed up by Divine Hymn (if it is called for), after that i will use Power infusion and spam Prayer of Healing. One of the reasons behind why i do this is Glyph of Power word: Barrier which increases the healing taken by 10% to everybody standing in the Bubble, this stacked up with the 10% more healing taken from the Divine Hymn is just Amazing! If the raid isn´t going to take that much Damage i will combine single target healing with some Prayer of Healing. BTW I always use Prayer of Mending of CD.
Nice application, it really seems like you have put in a lot of effort to it which i really like. I Also think you seems like a really mature guy for you age and i am really chocked by your spelling and such. Of course we can't really judge your experience or skill before we played with you but i'm really looking forward to that. Obviously i don't got any questions for you because all my guildies asked you quit a lot. However i would not have anything against to take you as a trial.
Thank you for considering . A VERY nice application, Im impressed by your spelling and how you write for only being 13. We mostly don’t take in raiders below 20 years old but we made exceptions to that if we feel that player is something extra which I believe you might be. I got some questions for you:
How much have you played shadow? On fights where we only need 2 healers it can be nice if the healers can respeck do dps and keep up the dps with our main dps.ers. How is your gear? You raided as it? How much dps you do on a dummy?
I like that you played discipline so much and prefer that over holy (mostly it’s the opposite from our priest healers we had, they mostly played holy over disc). In the beginning of cata disc priests weren’t that good and shields didn’t absorb so much but atm I feel that they are better than holy, especially since we mostly have druid/shaman healer in our raids that will cover most of the raid healing. And you also wrote that you can raid heal since we got a very nice paladin healer as well.
Your gear is very good and are even better than some of our healers gear which I like. We need you for example to be able to 2 man heal Ultraxion heroic (smite spec) and with your gear you should manage that. So I hope you will manage it by skills too :) You said you did 11-12 k dps in smite spec which sounds very much, but I guess that’s only from dps:ing. On fights like Yorsahj and Ultraxion hc you also need to heal so if you can keep like 6-8k dps Im happy. But also remember to focus most on healing when its needed so our raiders doesn’t die (few moments on those fights needs INSANE healing).
If we are very close to kill a new boss on hc and we wanna stay up a bit longer, for example to 23.30 (this is not happening often but it happened few times) to do 2-3 more tries since we feel we are so close to get the new boss. Would that be possible for you?
How was your attendance in your previous guild? You said you raided 4 days a week, for how long was that? How many % of the raids did you attend on in total? (when you raided and standby)
What race will you choose as horde? (gogo male tauren :D) ?
Are you planning to move your alts to horde side if you get accepted as member and like it in this guild?
Why did you take a break from WoW? Is that something that can happen now? How does your plans look like this summer? Will you be able to still raid with us? (I understand if you go on vacation for 1-2 weeks but being away whole summer is a bit too much) . Im looking for a raider that wanna stay in this guild for a long time and not only for 2-3 months.
Do you speak as good English as you type?
Are you usually involved in a lot of drama when you are in guilds? Like can´t take critisicm from guildmasters/raidleaders?
What do you do when you don’t raid? You mentioned you played around 6 hours a day. Do you pvp? Playing on alts? Farming achivments? Etc etc
Have you applied to any other guilds atm? In that case, if they accept you, will you choose them over us?
I want you to get the good shoulder enchant asap if you wanna raid with us. That means you have raise Therazane rep to exalted. Atm I see you are hated with them which means you have to do all the quests around there so you eventually get friendly (took me around 4 hours) and after that farm heroics/do their dailys to get exalted. I understand that’s something you don’t do in 1 day but I want you to fix it in a few days (prefer max 1 – 2 week).
I also would prefer if you got a profession that have you something extra (Leatherworking, tailoring, JC, BS or enchanting). You said alchemy gave you +80 intellect? You mean from flask? We always use proper flasks in our raids. But its nice with cauldron so its fine if you wanna keep that profession, however we already got people in guild that can do that so don’t feel you have to keep it.
However as you mentioned with your age, we will not treat you different for being the youngest person in guild. You will be treated like everyone else and as long as you keep your attendance and do a very good performance I will be more than happy :)
Feel free to ask me something if you wonder anything about the guild, here on forum or in game :)
I haven´t played shadow that much this patch, but i got the 2 set bonus tho. I played it a bit in the Firelands patch since we mostly 2 man healed it. I wasn´t able to do as good dps as the others but it wasn´t that terrible either. I will go and watch some guides so i will know how to specc and what stats to prioritize etc. Since i want to get the most out of my dps as I possibly can.
The 11-12k dps that I did was on dummy (just making it clear)
Yes that wouldn´t be any problem at all.
I joined my current guild in October or atleast that Is when I joined there first raid. I almost kept a 100% attendence, the only times I haven´t joined there raids were on my parents birthdays and once when I got so sick that I couldn´t even get out of the bed. I`m just gonna say this now so I dont forget it if I get accepted, between the 17-27 of february I´m going to Austria to ski. I will be able to raid the day I get home (if the plane isn´t late that is). I hope this woun´t be too much of a problem, saying this now so you maybe can pug a healer or something.
I woun´t choose Tauren since they don´t have any useful racial attack for healers. Thats why I`m going to choose Blood elf (Arcane Torrent) which i belive gives you 5% of your mana. I´m going to use it right after Power Torrent procs so I will get the most out of it.
Well I have a rogue that already is on the horde side which I would like to have in the guild but I´m not sure if I am going to transfer all of my alts since it feels like it is a bit waste of money if I´m just gonna have them in the guild without really playing on them.. maybe I will transfer one of them.
I took a break from WoW since my parents were devorsing and I was just really unhappy at that time and didn´t feel like doing anything at all. I don´t really know what my plans for the summer are but I´ll try my best not being away more then 1-2 weeks.
Yes I think I speak as good as I write, when I played a lot of CoD i got to know a guy from England and he actually thought that i was from England since he thought my english was very good. I do have quite a Swedish accent tho.
I´m not involved with drama at all, I just think it is stupid and I try to stay away from it. I´m good with taking critisicm as long at it is friendly and I´m always trying to improve.
When I´m not raiding I´m usually gearing up some alts or PvP.ing on my rogue (which I love). I´m not that much of an achivement farmer I´ve never really liked it but i´m always up for helping guildies and friends with them.
I haven´t applied to any other guild.
Gonna start doing the Therezane quests and try to get exalted asap.
About the professions I wount use the 80 intellect flask that you get from alchemy lol, I always use Draconic Mind but as an alchemist you get your strongest stat increased by 80 while using a flask that you can make yourself. So 300 int without alchemy and 380 int with.
Thank you, if you have any further questions make sure to ask me.
We deicided to take you in as trial. You will not have prio on gear over members and we will not pay for your repairs as trial, however when you get promoted to member we will pay for all repairs on your main (not only during raids). You dont have to bring flasks and food for raids since we will do that for you. However we are very thankful if you fish sometimes for fish feasts (highland guppy, fathom eel and lavascale catfish) since they dont always can be bought on AH. When we think you are ready we will promote you to member and that can take everything from 2 weeks-2 months.
I really hope you will like it in and we all looking forward to raid with you. The bosses you should read up on are Yorsajh heroic (we are 3 man healing that boss so we want you to smite heal there) and Ultraxion heroic (we 2 man heal that boss) which we wiped on 6% on last raid :( (enrage so smite heal we need there as well).
Please poke me in game on Hanná, Laurella, Yoanné, Xandra, Kimberlee, Felecia or Izobel or poke Chrisator /Painfury. You can also poke Vandalen, Jinaik or Crazymary.

Well I appreciate your response, and I'm very happy you're willing to make changes to suit the guild. That's all my questions for now, let's see if Hanna has any for you :)
I`m glad to hear your happy :). I´ve got to known smite healing a bit better now and I must say it is really good, I tested my dps on dummy and i did about 11-12K which is amazing. I´ve started leveling alchemy too, I´m at about 400 skill and I´m hoping to have 525 by tomorrow. Thank you.

hello cesina,
im wondering why you didnt take Archangel is your spec, even if you dont smite heal.
in DS hc most healers dps when they dont have to heal so u will still be able to 5 stack evangelism and use it for mana regain + healing increase.
Hey Lucy. :)
Taking 2 points in Evangelism and 1 point in Archangel would mean that i would have to take out 2 points from Vieled Shadows and 1 point from Inner Sanctum since they probably are my weakest talents. That wouldn´t be much of a problem tho since I hardly never go oom and the reduced spell damage taken from Inner Sanctum isn´t really needed. But in DS normal the healing is very low and if your dps isn´t horrible you wount have any problem with killing a boss before he enrages. As for HC morchok which is the only heroic encounter that i have faced in DS I have reforged everything to mastery and just bubble spam everyone and since we used 4 healers the healing wasn´t a problem. But when i get into some harder HC fights i will definitely change my my specc since the damage+the healing will be much more intense.
Thanks for the feedback.

hello thanks for you application
i'm wondering about a few things.
Assume that you are planning to reforge /gem / enchant for an upcoming progression boss in order to maximize your output. Under which scenario and why would you:
i see you have 2 discipline speccs are you using both for pve,
if it's an yes,
if it's an no,
Are you familiar with healing in different rotations ?
i see your bussy on lvling alchemy. But why skinning as second an proffession? proffessions like leatherworking gives you an 80 intellect bonus.
And your 13 are you able to afford an faction change? (i remember 25 euro's was alot to me when i was 13 )
About your UI:
why are your action bars that big ? do you think you could use that space more usefull by holding it empty to see shit on the floor ?
Also for your recount you can minimalize it by loads the only thing you want actually for is too see the numbers what only cares after the fight not during one.
And the cooldown timer, in my opinion it is useless since you can easily see when your own procs/buffs/trinkets are gone.
i think your UI is way too messy.
Overall your application looks good, and you sound like an expierenced raider.

Hello Vlard! Thanks for the feedback
1. I would prioritize mastery for bosses where i either tank heal or bubble spam, like Morchok HC where pretty much all I do is bubble spamming.
2. I prioritize haste/crit for encounters where there is alot of raid healing needed, some would say that mastery is better for raid healing since Divine aegis absorb more but that is not the case. It has been proven that haste/crit is more useful since your Divine Aegis procs more which means more absorbs in the end.
3. There wouldn´t actually be a fight where I would reforge everything to crit since then it is RNG which can screw up the raid sometimes, I´d rather be safe then sorry.
1. Yes i have 2 disc speccs and both are for PvE, one is smite healing which I will use on bosses like Ultraxion and Yor Sahj where the enrage timers are very slim. The other one is just a regular all round healing specc which I use when we don´t need the extra dps.
2. Yes going Holy wouldn´t be a problem at all. Just need a bit or practise with it.
Well I got skinning just so I could make some extra gold, but now that gold isn´t a problem for me anymore I´m thinking about changing it for something else.
Yes I will afford a faction change, otherwise I wouldn´t apply. :)
UI: I know it is a bit messy, just downloaded the cooldown/proc helper but when I went in to a LFR to try it out and my AoEs affected much more people I realised that it was WAY to messy so i´m not using that anymore.
I know that my action bars are a bit big, thats just the way I like to have them but the day I fail because of it I´ll make them smaller.
You are right about the recount it is actually really big, gonna make it smaller.
For the rotation part, as healer you dont have any specific rotation that you have to follow but here are some things that i try to keep in mind ( this is for tank healing ). Use penance of CD, Prayer of Mending of CD and Power word Shield of CD. Use greater heal as much as possible so you can use Power word Shield and Inner Focus more, if the Tank is going to take a lot of damage I will use Pain Suppression. If the tank is getting really low and needs a fast heal i will use Flash Heal to get him up asap. For the raid healing. If the whole raid is going to take a lot of Damage and is stacked up i will use Power word Barrier followed up by Divine Hymn (if it is called for), after that i will use Power infusion and spam Prayer of Healing. One of the reasons behind why i do this is Glyph of Power word: Barrier which increases the healing taken by 10% to everybody standing in the Bubble, this stacked up with the 10% more healing taken from the Divine Hymn is just Amazing! If the raid isn´t going to take that much Damage i will combine single target healing with some Prayer of Healing. BTW I always use Prayer of Mending of CD.
Make sure to tell me if I forgot something.

Hello Cesina!
Nice application, it really seems like you have put in a lot of effort to it which i really like. I Also think you seems like a really mature guy for you age and i am really chocked by your spelling and such. Of course we can't really judge your experience or skill before we played with you but i'm really looking forward to that. Obviously i don't got any questions for you because all my guildies asked you quit a lot. However i would not have anything against to take you as a trial.
Thanks a lot for considering The Last Hope.
Thanks.
Jin.

Hello Cesina!
Thank you for considering. A VERY nice application, Im impressed by your spelling and how you write for only being 13. We mostly don’t take in raiders below 20 years old but we made exceptions to that if we feel that player is something extra which I believe you might be. I got some questions for you:
I like that you played discipline so much and prefer that over holy (mostly it’s the opposite from our priest healers we had, they mostly played holy over disc). In the beginning of cata disc priests weren’t that good and shields didn’t absorb so much but atm I feel that they are better than holy, especially since we mostly have druid/shaman healer in our raids that will cover most of the raid healing. And you also wrote that you can raid heal since we got a very nice paladin healer as well.
Your gear is very good and are even better than some of our healers gear which I like. We need you for example to be able to 2 man heal Ultraxion heroic (smite spec) and with your gear you should manage that. So I hope you will manage it by skills too :) You said you did 11-12 k dps in smite spec which sounds very much, but I guess that’s only from dps:ing. On fights like Yorsahj and Ultraxion hc you also need to heal so if you can keep like 6-8k dps Im happy. But also remember to focus most on healing when its needed so our raiders doesn’t die (few moments on those fights needs INSANE healing).
I want you to get the good shoulder enchant asap if you wanna raid with us. That means you have raise Therazane rep to exalted. Atm I see you are hated with them which means you have to do all the quests around there so you eventually get friendly (took me around 4 hours) and after that farm heroics/do their dailys to get exalted. I understand that’s something you don’t do in 1 day but I want you to fix it in a few days (prefer max 1 – 2 week).
I also would prefer if you got a profession that have you something extra (Leatherworking, tailoring, JC, BS or enchanting). You said alchemy gave you +80 intellect? You mean from flask? We always use proper flasks in our raids. But its nice with cauldron so its fine if you wanna keep that profession, however we already got people in guild that can do that so don’t feel you have to keep it.
However as you mentioned with your age, we will not treat you different for being the youngest person in guild. You will be treated like everyone else and as long as you keep your attendance and do a very good performance I will be more than happy :)
Feel free to ask me something if you wonder anything about the guild, here on forum or in game :)
Best regards
Hanna
Hello Hanna!
I haven´t played shadow that much this patch, but i got the 2 set bonus tho. I played it a bit in the Firelands patch since we mostly 2 man healed it. I wasn´t able to do as good dps as the others but it wasn´t that terrible either. I will go and watch some guides so i will know how to specc and what stats to prioritize etc. Since i want to get the most out of my dps as I possibly can.
Thank you, if you have any further questions make sure to ask me.
Cesina
Hello Cesina!
and we all looking forward to raid with you. The bosses you should read up on are Yorsajh heroic (we are 3 man healing that boss so we want you to smite heal there) and Ultraxion heroic (we 2 man heal that boss) which we wiped on 6% on last raid :( (enrage so smite heal we need there as well).
We deicided to take you in as trial. You will not have prio on gear over members and we will not pay for your repairs as trial, however when you get promoted to member we will pay for all repairs on your main (not only during raids). You dont have to bring flasks and food for raids since we will do that for you. However we are very thankful if you fish sometimes for fish feasts (highland guppy, fathom eel and lavascale catfish) since they dont always can be bought on AH.
When we think you are ready we will promote you to member and that can take everything from 2 weeks-2 months.
I really hope you will like it in
Please poke me in game on Hanná, Laurella, Yoanné, Xandra, Kimberlee, Felecia or Izobel or poke Chrisator /Painfury. You can also poke Vandalen, Jinaik or Crazymary.
Best Regards
Hanna
