Char name: Tectus
Class: Paladin (Holy MS/Prot OS) - [Atm on Terenas realm]
Armory link
Professions: BS 444 / JC 450 (mostly picked 'em for the bs +1 socket on gloves/wrist and JC for the crafter gems)
Raiding Experience:

TBC: Kara/SSC/TK/BT/SWP(6/9)
WoTLK: (Im leaving out voa/os/eoe) Uld10/25 [didn't go very far there tbh- just killed yogg25m never algalon]/ToC25[havent done Anub hc kill sadly..blame the pugs]/ICC 11/12 and tries on LK [the 11/12 is only with my warrior tank]
I use my own UI for some years now, can handle any addon required of me easily.
As for voice comm I use Vent or TS2, depending on what is asked. I dont like to use my mic a lot, but be carefull when you ask of me to talk, I tend to not stop talking when I start.
Started off playing paladin as protection tbh, but as I have been tanking since release with warrior and have already a warrior tauren 80 for my free time, I can say that holy spec has won me over, but I have no problems switching to prot from time to time, though that wouldn't be my first pick.
Characters atm at 80lvl:
2 alliance side on Terenas: Druid resto/balance and the paladin with which I'm applying.
3 horde side on Defias Brotherhood: Warrior prot/fury, Priest holy/shadow, Hunter MM/survival [if you wish armory links i'd be happy to provide]
WoW History:
The past 5 years I have been playing WoW only the PvE aspect of the game has won me over. For numerous reasons I chose to stay away from PvP in this game, have done a few arena matches etc to get to 1900+ rating in tbc, but never was a fan of WoW pvp. (I preffer out of instance pvp like RvR type pvp eg back in the good days, DAOC etc)
I have been raiding since release, I have been from trial to guild - raid leader in various guilds and then back again. Can say I have no time or patience to lead again in any way, thumbs up to the ppl who do that stuff and keep going on I always say, leading teams of any guild have my respect and understanding, cuz I was there even in the darkest of times, when u had to lead 40man raids and keep so many members happy and balanced. On this note, I'd like just to mention that I have many times lead pugs to icc10-25 past 2-3 wings because I still got the capability of picking propper setup and understanding what goes wrong on various encounters each time, providing solutions to these and making the kill. I know it's not needed to be a raider, just mentioning this because, it shows my ability to understand encounters.
So, we come to the basic question, why here, why now, why an x-realm app?
Well thing is that the selection to move to Terenas realm wasn't the best I had made, it was just because of some RL mates, who quit WoW a few months after I arrived. The realm has slow progress, and even fewer guilds to support that progress. I was away from Terenas for quite some time focusing on my horde side and when I decided that I wanted to get involved with my paladin, I saw that things hadn't changed. My own guild was still struggling to kill LK, and the 2 alliance guilds that were actually had killed him were... well let's just say, when u are on top of a realm where the rest are light years behind you, you get to be an ever greater "elitist prick" than usual. In short, I didn't want to bother with them.
So, I took my coffee cup and started scoutting for a realm and a guild in which I would find myself a decent environtment to raid in and to thrive, not just to come online and say "omh, raid night again, bugger off, I wanna play my alt". I have read through the guild rules, raid times (that is especially good for me) and also the fact that you are of the people that would take an undergeared person. I spoke with some of you on the alt I made, also to keep the name kept for my own char, if my application is accepted.
I would like to mention one more further thing: I do not really enjoy being left out. When I say I want to join a guild that means I want to participate and not sit on the bench, if you will. That will make me a really sad panda. I could for the well-being of any guild ofc pass my spot to a member who has been in the guild a lot more, or is in need of better gear but that would need to be not the regular thing to happen, if you understand me.
As for personal info, I try not to share so much via public forums. I only wish to say that I am male, 31 years old and I live in Greece.
I hope I was not very tiresome with my application. I just wanted to be thorough about it and show how serious I am when I'm deciding to spend 20 euros for a transfer, which in wow-life means a big transition, leaving an old realm behind, because however sucky it may be, you have some friends and some people you will be sad to leave behind.
PS: There is more always people want answered, I know, but for I now, I hope this info will suffice.
Signing off for now,
Tectus

Your application covers just about everything a decent application should. About sitting out, we don't have any strict written rule judging that, but by rule of a thumb those who sign the most get to raid the most. This goes in particular for the healers.
We're waiting for you as off next reset, with opened arms.

Great news! Really appreciate the quick reply, as you had promised in-game. I will clear my stuff on Terenas and start packing my bags for Stormreaver. See you soon!
PS: My transfer is already complete, will contact you tomorrow in-game.
