Please provide a WoL presenting your awesomeness: Unfortunately I've never been recorded by any of my previous guilds or ever recorded myself.

Regardless of it's quality(ilvl), is your gear fully taken care off?: I'd like to say my gear is fully taken care off, it's the best I can do at this time seeing as I've already cleared DS in the week beginning of 19/9/12 and Mists of Pandaria will be released next week, giving me very few options of improving my gear that little bit further.

Tell us about your alts: I only really have 2 main alts that I play on, both being back on Stormreaver.. I'd also like to say I'm pretty good when it comes to playing my alts, Glubur used to be my main so I'm comfortable with raiding etc

Raiding Experience: Unfortunately due to such a young age I didn't raid in TBC or WotLK, but time has passed fairly quickly and I'm now applying here with some decent progress..
Tier 11 raids, cleared 5/5HC in Bastion of Twilight, 6/6HC in Blackwing Descent, and still hoping I can clear Throne of the Four Winds in HC mode before Mists of Pandaria releases. (All of these bosses were done after the nerf, a small number done via openraid.eu)
Tier 12 raids, cleared 6/7HC in Firelands, some of these bosses were done pre-nerf with guilds such as Lord of Ironhearts, Dark Ritual and even The Enigma Order if I remember correctly! With P4 attempts on Ragnaros HC.
Tier 13 raids, cleared 8/8HC, six of the bosses that I cleared were pre-nerf, yet spine and madness were done when nerfed

What attendance can we realistically expect from you?: I'll be available for each and every single raid that will take place during the week, and if there will be a problem with attending on a certain date, you can expect a post on the forums stating when and why I won't be raiding.

No external factors

At this point in time, how long do you expect to keep playing wow?: I have a funny feeling that I'll be playing wow for many years to come!

Why are you good at playing your class?: I think that the main reason I'm good at playing my class is because I enjoy my spec a lot, after being made to re-roll holy after playing discipline for a few years, I struggled with getting used to the spec in different raiding environments, but now that I understand practically all of them, healing is just another one of those things that I love doing!

What do you consider the most significant pros and cons of your class/spec in the current state of affairs:After 5.05 I think that the biggest disadvantage of being a holy priest is the mana, casting several spells and being at ~60k, and then having to spend time using CD's or spells that make you re-gain mana over time. One of the main advantages is the healing output regardless of the 'mana issues' mentioned above.

When approaching new content, a fight that both you and the raid will try for the first time, how do you prepare: Whenever I approach or encounter a new boss, I will always firstly check up on videos from guilds that I'm aware off and confident in doing it 'right'. Then moving onto questioning other raiders from my current guild or even those from different guilds if I'm unsure about a certain way or tactic. In a case that's coming up, very little people have raided in MoP, and those who have, have usually posted videos, so checking those out and figuring out for myself the best way to overcome the boss.

Tell us about a single fight where you had some particular assignment, what it was, how you approached it, what research did you do: Again I went straight and found videos of how different guilds approached this. One particular assignment I had was dispelling on spine, thinking how would I maintain my mana, dispell and put out as much healing as I possibly could. After checking videos I then studied the fight in more detail, dealing with the disadvantages and advantages that I would face, and then eventually encountering the boss and putting all of the research to practice usually coming out with the best outcome possible.

Why are you applying to The Enigma Order, what made you choose us, when and where did you first hear about us: I'm applying to The Enigma Order purely because I'm in need of a place to call home before Mist of Pandaria releases, I was also a previous member, but messed things up a little, so hoping I can return, patch things up whilst fufilling my roles.

What do you expect from us, as a guild:I expect a large number of skilled, welcoming and friendly members, raiders and officers with outstanding progress.

Please confirm that you have read and understood our rules and they are ok for you: I have read and I agree to all the terms/conditions/rules within The Enigma Order.

When unsure about any aspect of the game, be that tactics, class specific assignments, how do you proceed: I will almost certainly every time, ask several raiders within different raid guilds and then carry out their way, and then hopefully finding out in the process which is the best way I can do it.

Why do you play WoW, what are your objectives, why commit more than 10 hours a week to a computer game: If there's one thing I love about World of Warcraft is meeting new people and encountering new encounters, learning from my mistakes, improving to perfection and having a good time when the time feels right!

Is there anything else you would like to include that may assist your application: As mentioned above, I applied for The Enigma Order back on Stormreaver, made it in as a test player and messed things up a little, hoping I can make a return, sort things out, meet new people, and ofcourse have a little fun in there too!

Hardware/Connection (we assume your computer and connection are fit for raiding, only tell us about out of oridinary stuff): I would say my computer connection is fairly steady, I've never disconnected in a raid due to FPS reasons etc

Aware that you've already got quite a few priests on your raiding roster, but it's always nice to have another holy priest with high out-put in healing and a 3 minute CD on hymn! Happy to be reserve or back-up if needed on any occaison.

I'd also really much appreciate if I could get a reply to this by monday, so that I know if there's any point in purchasing Mist of Pandaria or not!
Thanks, Glub:)
