Vox, Shaman
Alex2134 — Mon, 03/17/2008 - 21:06
Name: Alex, In-Game: Vox, will change once I transfer
Class: Shaman
Race: Draenei
Level: 70
Age: 18
Playtime at 70: 31 days, 2 hours
Overall Playtime: 55 days, 16 hours
Average playtime per week: somewhere around 40 hours, depends on week.
Good computer/internet connection? 1.5 gigs of ram, Pentium D processor,
good Internet connection only lag when ISP servers are laggy or when S3 gear
came out and in Area 52…
Server you are currently on: Altar of Storms, transferring over tomorrow the
18th
Link to your armory: http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Altar%20of%20Storms&n=Vox
Willing to re-spec as required by guild/encounters? Of course, I love playing
shamans I have a few good pieces of restoration but most of my good gear is
enhancement
Explain your talent build and why you use it for raiding: My other guild
tried to merge and it didn’t work out so I’m speced for pvp, will change when I
transfer to be more for raids.
Tell us a little about your class in a raiding environment: Shaman’s when
speced enhancement is used for strength, health/mana, and agility/wind fury
totems (depending on being grouped with warriors). They have good burst dps but
can sustain a very high amount of dps for the entire fight. Shamanistic Rage
enables Shamans to regenerate mana on the go; paired with an attack power
trinket it can regenerate a shaman to near full mana. This is why enhancement
is good for being grouped with melee dps.
Raid History
Raid/Instance Experience
(pre & post bc): Molten Core,
Karazhan, Zul’ Aman, Gruul’s Lair, Magtheridon’s Lair, The Eye and
Serpentshrine Cavern.
Previous Guilds and Why you left them: Ctrl Alt Elite
(Chromaggus), left to help a friend on Altar of Storms level, Acquired Taste,
Manus Domini and Reckoning (Altar of Storms) tried to merge but didn’t work out
so I went to a pvp guild (Zerg) and leaving to help a friend over on this
server level and hopefully raid with your guild.
General Questions
1) We receive a lot of applications. Why should we recruit you? Please also
link a WWS report (or screenshots of damage/healing meters) to demonstrate how
you do in a raid setting. I have been playing my shaman since The Burning
Crusade was released I have experience in raids and know how to play my class.
I currently don’t have any pictures of my dps in raids but I was top 5 dps in
the SSC raids I have done.
2) Why are you leaving your current guild? Why are you applying to us? Do
you have any references in Downfall? I love to pvp but doing it for 6-8 hours a
day can be boring, raiding is fun and I love to interact with people especially
over vent. I heard your guild was one of the best ones on Gorgannash so I
figured what do I have to lose? Dufe is my only reference since I haven’t
transferred over.
3) Tell us about yourself. How long have you been playing WoW? How old are
you? Are you in school or working? Any other significant hobbies? I’ve been
playing wow for about a year and a half now, (little over a year on my shaman.)
I’m age 18 finishing up high school. I competitive Rock Climb during indoor
season and free climb outdoors in the summer. I played Varsity Basketball and
was on the Varsity Cross-Country team until I had a knee injury.
4) Can you post a screenshot of your UI? Had troubles with Bongos 2 buttons
so I had to delete and start over the other day but here it is http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd182/Schreiber2/ss.jpg
5) If you had to choose, would you put Cisper or Shinzwei on auto-follow?
Not sure who they are but I hope I will once I transfer, however neither.
6) If Shihli tells a joke (good or bad), will you laugh? To the best of my
knowledge yes I would.
7) Anything else you like to add? I feel I am good at communicating with
people over vent, taking instructions and attempt to be a fun guy to play with.
8) How many spelling mistakes are in your app? None
that I can find.


Wasn't aware any raids were
Desteran — Fri, 04/04/2008 - 12:38Wasn't aware any raids were looking for Shaman. I am totally willing to go enhance. Got 4/5 S1 S1 for my MH (OH is GM Blue (man I wish I knew S1 gear was going to honor system sooner:P but will buy the 45 bage OH when new gear opens up)), Grull helm etc, leather boots from H - Arc ...I should be riding around 1200AP / 20-25% crit (havn't been enhance for a while.... only place I may be hurting is +hit but from all I've read that is the least important for enhance (not that it isn't important but shouldn't be itemized over..getting 9% from talents) Close his app I say! Still need to chant alot of my gear as I have been working on my ele and resto set recently for something to do. I'll be on saturday night. Been a member long enough now. Think its time I put myself in a steady/serious raid...
What do ya think?
But can you be CONSISTENT,
garreth — Fri, 04/04/2008 - 13:39But can you be CONSISTENT, that's the question. Three days a week, without fail.
This means scheduling a lot of RL stuff in order to be online for these raids. If that can't happen, raiding ain't the thing you're looking for.
If you can commit to those times, then we'll raid your fucking brains out. Zildo still needs a lot of gear, but if you're at least perma-flasked, fully blue-gemmed, fully chanted and at least swinging your S1 one-handers, (not the blues) you're good to go.
Consistancy isn't really the
Desteran — Fri, 04/04/2008 - 13:55Consistancy isn't really the issue for me. I know that isnt a problem. I believe my short-coming, as you've said, is gear. As I said, I have been toying around with different gear sets..thinking that raiding was off the table. I was under the impression that both raids were pretty set in stone but seeing the comments made here that doesn't seem to be the case.
Yeah, LF1M has TWO dps
garreth — Fri, 04/04/2008 - 14:23Yeah, LF1M has TWO dps warriors and a ret pally. It's a raid that MUST have an enhancement shammy. A group like this:
Judge
Gares
Hbk
Zildo
Roguered/Barqz/Pulga
Would be amazing. Thats' 3 x 2h dps classes, WF is almost REQUIRED for that to be truly effective in raid. Let me talk to Atar.
Side note, I saw Pux is
Gares of War — Fri, 04/04/2008 - 12:24Side note, I saw Pux is still guildless and has been online as of today, via wowarmory as up to date as the site can be for guild information.
Pux, if you want to raid, get your butt in gear and contact Ataraxia, Dufe, or myself about SSC/TK/MH. Saturday is the next raid.
Emosity comes from raiding
Gares of War — Fri, 04/04/2008 - 12:23Emosity comes from raiding with a shaman, then something involving said raiding causes you to quit. It is rare to see someone who has had a shaman, raided with it (other than Turth), and not go crazy with raid quits, gquits, etc.
I actually got in as a tank
Drewsta — Fri, 04/04/2008 - 09:05I actually got in as a tank and would probably not be raiding if I didn't mention my shaman :D
Still waiting for someone to
Drewsta — Fri, 04/04/2008 - 08:50Still waiting for someone to replace Turth. Not like take my raid spot but have an Enhancement MAIN who has a douchebag rep like myself :D
iirc, didn't you app to
starstalker — Fri, 04/04/2008 - 09:01iirc, didn't you app to DF on your warrior? =P
/flings poop at Garreth
This guys hasn't really been
garreth — Fri, 04/04/2008 - 08:13This guys hasn't really been on, has missed every raid LF1M could have used him for, and hasn't really contacted anyone in Df for a few weeks. This is kind of a bummer, since LF1M could REALLY use an enh shammy :(
Considering closing down this app as a lost cause.
I go to school...stop by a
Aidin — Tue, 03/18/2008 - 18:34I go to school...stop by a friends...and there are 43 new posts in this thread....lol...I miss all the damn funz.
However...I think I've giggled for 10 min straight catching up.
Glad we could entertain you,
Alex2134 — Tue, 03/18/2008 - 19:47Glad we could entertain you, haha.
You can say it, but I cannot
Dragonspear — Tue, 03/18/2008 - 17:48You can say it, but I cannot promise you will live after you say it.
I've been playing ret longer than you have been playing the game :D
~Legendary Nobody
Edit: Sorry, Ret ignorance makes for Grumpyspear. As some hunter learned on my PvE server earlier tonight when I tore him a new one in gchat. And then got complimented by other paladins afterward.
Lets just say that we are both mutually beneficial to each other :D
Its a Tough Job, but someone
Dragonspear — Tue, 03/18/2008 - 17:26Its a Tough Job, but someone has to keep the judgements up.
Watch out before your guilty!
~Legendary Nobody
haha, least you are aware of
Alex2134 — Tue, 03/18/2008 - 17:30haha, least you are aware of the fact that uh, ret pallys... i can't say it.
Question for the insane ret
Dragonspear — Tue, 03/18/2008 - 17:03Question for the insane ret paladins among us (hereafter refered to as dragonspear).
Do you spec imp WF totem.
Will you drop windfury for me please.
I love windfury
you name should be Iamwindfurybot, Windfurybot, Iamwfbot, DropsWFtotem.
Ya, I love windfury, I have my 70 shaman on another server for it and im leveling a new one here.
Btw, did i already ask if you dropped Windfury?
Have I mentioned Windfury yet?
*goes off babbling about Windfury*
~Legendary Nobody
ARE YOU
Alex2134 — Tue, 03/18/2008 - 17:13ARE YOU KIDDING...
A RET PALLY... no, of course in raids WF always. Once i respec to raid ill go imp WF.

Alex2134 — Tue, 03/18/2008 - 16:47Geez bliz is screwing you guys over pretty hardcore imo.
Oh, cool Boise also, be back
Alex2134 — Tue, 03/18/2008 - 16:26Oh, cool Boise also, be back in 10 .
LOL, awesome! Know any
garreth — Tue, 03/18/2008 - 16:30LOL, awesome! Know any Blooms or Nauglers?
Nauglers sounds like a name
Grasen — Tue, 03/18/2008 - 16:32Nauglers sounds like a name that was ment to be poked fun at.
I think half the reason my
garreth — Tue, 03/18/2008 - 16:34I think half the reason my mother married my father was for the free name change.

Alex2134 — Tue, 03/18/2008 - 16:20Paid Xfer still down come on bliz!
Sorry bout that! Ya don't
Drewsta — Tue, 03/18/2008 - 15:51Sorry bout that! Ya don't use alt codes please. I get enough grief atm.
Not gonna lie. Thank you
Drewsta — Tue, 03/18/2008 - 15:45Not gonna lie. Thank you Shihli for making me smile. Got my day happy! Basically Vox, For some reasons these leaders of Downfall let me raid and I'm now something like a consistent raider (lol right? getting my epics and leaving! JK) Shamans have a reputation for gquitting once they get loot or don't get there way. (Lol@Shockah Shihli?) What's to stop you from just leaving us when you got what you need?
Sorry didnt even see the
Alex2134 — Tue, 03/18/2008 - 16:05Sorry didnt even see the post, i suppose you could never really stop someone from just gquiting once they get gear. However i have helped guilds with kara in the past so im not just in it for the gear, but more so to meet people that are friendly. I like to get friends that i feel i can give my phone number to and text. (I'm not gay) I work hard to get a good rep on servers, and would rather work things out over being hated by a guild. So, to stop me from leaving the guild its more a conscience or as Freud would put it, superego, to not just run off once i get gear.
At least he's not using
Netti — Tue, 03/18/2008 - 15:49At least he's not using those messed up letters that you have to figure out the ascii code or whatever just so you can mail him something...oh..wait..there's that damn soap name he uses...Drew you bastard
