Character Information

Nickame:
- Trivioke

Armory Link:
- Simple profile: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/r … oke/simple
- Advanced : http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/r … e/advanced

Mainspec:
- Holy
Offspec:
- Disc and/or Shadow. Have not really set my mind yet.
I'm open for suggestions or if there is anything specific secondary spec you would like me to assist you with, like having a shadow off-spec for when we need an extra dps instead of an extra healer.

Professions:
- Enchanting 600. I recently took away my mining in order to replace it with something else, still not sure what to choose of Jewelcrafting or Tailoring. Don't worry I will fix any of these to max as soon as possible. Also I have cooking at 600.

Regardless of its quality (ilvl), is you gear fully taken care of? Safe for some specific cases (eg. an item about to be replaced next week), we expect everything to be gemmed, enchanted and reforged optimally.
- Everything on my gear is gemmed and enchanted, although due to the incredibly high prices on some enchants (talking many thousands of gold), I've chosen to go for some lesser enchants rather then greater ones (ex. Shoulders and legs). Since the items are only 463 item leveled I don't consider it worth enchanting it onto them.
If you have a problem with this, tell me and I will fix them to greater ones instead.
Regarding reforge, I have reforged so my main stat "Spirit" is enough to survive an encounter while I have broken the first haste cap (7.11%), now I'm stacking up on Mastery, my third best secondary stat.
A little note is that: It's very obvious that Intellect is my main stat, but it's not reforgeable.
*My belt doesen't have a belt buckle, but it is to be replaced as soon as I get about 400 more Valor points.*
---------------------------------------------------------------
Tell us about your alts (armory links included), how good are you with them:
- In MoP (level 90) I only have this one priest. Although back in Cataclysm I had 7 level 85 alts (and this priest), which of 6 had a decent Item level etc... I consider myself pretty aware of how to play most of them well.
Here are my alts from Cata:

(* = best alt from that side)

Horde:

*Dentorios @ Kazzak: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/k … os/simple. (This character has been my main since I started playing wow somewhere 2007. Chose to reroll Priest when I though it would be funnier)

Darkphases @ Kor'gall: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/k … es/simple. He might seem very bad geared, but I didn't spend as much time on him in the end.

Livewhithout @ Kor'gall: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/k … ut/simple. Haven't played so much on him. And yes! He is misspelled (old character, in my defense hehe)

Mekzors @ Haomarush: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/h … rs/simple. This char was just an off-project I had for fun, not that well geared. Although I can play both resto and elemental well.


Alliance:

Annaya @ Kor'gall: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/k … ya/simple. Just lovely.

Taainz @ Ravencrest: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/r … nz/simple. Haven't played this char in a while. Although I remember I managed to do good dps (marksman).

*Axlróòse @ Ravencrest: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/r … 2se/simple This char was my latest to 85, and when I leveled him I quickly fell in love with the Warlock class. I played him at 85 for roughly 2 weeks before MoP came.
If I had not joined a guild on my priest and decided to make that one my main, I would defenetly have made this warlock my main. Priest is awesome too though, easy second place. I played destruction

---------------------------------------------------------------

Raiding Experience (be thorough here, the more information you give us, the better; both pre-Cataclysm and present progress is interesting for us; tell us about previous guilds):
- In the question of guilds I only wish to mention three of my greatest guilds who I consider to be the three most important ones you should know about:

All these are done on my character: Dentorios @ Kazzak (see above).

Bloodlust - This was a 25 man guild I joined back in the end of Totc/ begining of ICC. They raided 4 days a week and I remember to have been among the most active people there.
During our raids we managed to take down 11/12 normal until I left (will explain soon). What this guild is so important to me for? - This was the first actual raiding guild (25) that I joined.
It was great fun and I raided with them for about two to three months until me and two in real life friends decided to make a guild of our own.
Anyho, Bloodlust is meaningful to me cause it was revolutioning for my dedicated 25 man guild raids.

Dark Phoenix Division - As I mentioned, me and two friends started a guild of our own. We tried to make it 25 man but it wasn't very successful and we ended up running a few 10 mans, and one 25 man before we lost it.
I was serving as recruitment officer.
From this I learned how incredible hard it is to keep up a 25 man guild. Especcially how much work it is for the officers and the guildmaster. My respect for you (the guildleaders) instantly increased, trying to only talki about crucial stuff with you and if necessary.
As I said it didn't quite work out, and we found ourselves disolving the guild after about three weeks.

Déja Vu - After two days as guildles I got an whisper from my old officer (a few guilds and months back), who asked me if I wanted to join his guild in a cassual run in Uldar. I gladly accepted.
After about a week I once again got a whisper from him, asking if I wanted to come fill in their last spot for their main run in ICC normal (25 man), ofcourse I accepted that! And so I became a trial for their guild. We raided 4/days a week.
Together with these guys I raided for a little more than 6 months and our total progress went from scratch normal to 10/12 heroic.
This is the best time I've ever had in my WoW life and this is what kind of time I've been looking for. And your guild by the looks of it, gave me alot of hope to experience it again. Not specificly just a good one... but one that is dedicated and won't give in for the smallest things.
  Regarding this guild again, the reason I left was that I felt I should stop spending so much time playing WoW (note it was 2 years ago) and focus more on school. This break lasted for about 2 months until I asked myself. Why do I keep myself from playing this game if I really like it so?
And about 2 weeks after Cataclysm release  I started playing once again, haven't stopped ever since. Although I didn't return to equally as hardcore raiding as I use to, not until a few months ago I decided that I wanted it back, but I've been really unlucky when it comes to finding a steady guild (25 man obligatory, not a big fan of 10 mans).

Progress:
- I did not play this game back in vanilla and not active enough for raiding back in Tbc I'm afraid.

(not that all I'm mentioning here is cleared within the time that the raid was active and generally generating best in slot gear)

Wotlk:
During these contents I was not in a dedicated raiding guild, and they where mostly pugs.
{
Naxxramas both 10 and 25 - 15/15 cleared
Obsidian Sanctum both 10 and 25 - 4/4 cleared
Eye of Eternity 10 - 1/1 (not 25 while it was active)

Ulduar - I was on a little break in this content, only cleared Flame Leviathan during this time.
Although with Déjà Vu I cleared all the 25 man meta achievements as an off-raid for when we had downed Lich-King.

Totc 10 and 25 - 5/5
Totgc - Like 1-2/5...
}

ICC 10 and 25 12/12 cleared with as I previously mentioned "Déjà Vu".

ICC hc 10: 3/12 (this was not in my interessts really doing 10 mans)
ICC hc 25: 10/12 All cleared with "Déjà Vu".

Cataclysm:

When cataclysm first came out I was on a break. I really hope that it's ok that I'm missing some (most) of the contents during cata. It was not until late Cata that I realised how much I missed having a dedicated guild that I could accually call my home on wow.
It has been an eternal search as all guilds has just let me down in one way or another, but I really hope I found it now :)
Ok, I'm gonna be straight out with it. The only real time that I raided with guild.. or even at all was in Dragon Soul.

Dragon Soul: Cleared 8/8 normal and 6/8 Heroic.
---------------------------------------------------------------

What attendence should we realistically expect from you (for the sake of clarity, please note that while our Monday and Thursday raids start at 19.30, the Sunday one starts at 18.45):
- I can promise you that my attendance to raids will be 100%. No matter if it's a farm-raid or a progress raid. I'll be there. If for some reason I would not be able to make it to a raid, I would contact someone responsible in the guild with my reason for not attending being able to attend the raid.

Any external factors affecting activity we ought to know about (in particular, any of the days we are raiding at that does not suit you):
- All of your times adds up perfectly to my schedule.

At this point of time, how long do you expect you will continue playing WoW:
- I have no current plan to stop at all. This is the only game I play aswell.
I find this game funny, and aslong as I find it that way I have no intention of stopping either.

Why are you good at playing your class (don't qoute Elitist Jerks, don't give us the stuff every semi decent guide holds; convince us you're good your own way):
- I've had this priest for quite a while, and I would consider myself really experienced in playing it, especially since I've only played holy for pve and disc for pvp (bemastered the both of them is my point of view here). I have my skills on the shadow spec aswell but I have way less played time on it.

When approaching new content, a fight that both you and the raid will try for the first time, how do you prepare (be precise here, "I read tactics on internet" doesn't cut it; we seen our share of players who" knew tactics for all bosses" and then failed miserably in terms of actual preparations):
- Myself (as many others) watch the boss fight on youtube (from a healers point of view if I'm playing healer. And dps pov if dps etc..). Thereafter I try to ensure myself that I know all the abillities the boss have through the dungeon journal in game.
But I would honestly say that it takes 1-2 tries before I can nail the fight. Implying that: just because I know the tacts, I would like a taste of it myself. Then! I've learned the fight for all eternity... or very close to eternity...

Tell us about a single fight where you had some particular assignment, what it was, how you approached it, what research did you do (a good example for dps players used to be Spine of Deathwing heroic).
- I honestly can't recall a memory where I have been assigned to any specific part, well if you exclude such as "mainly tank healing".

Why are you applying to The Enigma Order, what made you choose us, when and where did you first hear about us:
- After our guild (25 man) decided to go 10 man, due to some people in guild slacking and not taking it seriously. Me and my friend Victaria tried to find a steady semi-hardcore 25 man guild, that where not likely to disband in a near future and actually took things seriously.
The Enigma Order looked like a very promising guild. From what I've talked to people in your guild I consider myself to have been very well countered.

What do you expect from us, as a guild:
- All I want from you guys is a steady 25 man guild that I can feel comfortable in, without a lot of guild drama. And to keep up our three raids a week, progress as farm.

Please confirm that you have read and understood our rules and they are ok for you (yes, this is our way to ensure we're not asked somewhat silly questions that are already answered in writing at the Rules section of the forum):
- I have read and it all sounds good to me. Would say it's especially nice to see a guild with this loot system. (Dkp and the loot prio order)

When unsure about any aspect of the game, be that tactics, class specific assignments, how do you proceed:
- This may happen ofcourse, and my action would be to just say it out loud, because I consider it better to just say that you're not a 100 on the tacts, rather then wasting everyones time by failing around.
I am a real fast learner so there should be no real problem I think.

Why do you play WoW, what are your objectives, why commit more than 10 hours a week to a computer game:
- As I have mentioned, WoW is the only game I play, and honestly I have no idea why. I just love the game, it's amazing in ever way. I've been playing it for 5 years and it's always been me and Victaria who has been playing together non-stop for 5 years (almost always hehe). We usually sit on skype during the raids.

Is there anything else you would like to include that may assist your application.
- I love progressing, both on my own characters and with the guild. The feeling when after many tries, or even weeks of progressing and you get down the boss... undescribable.
But set asides from this I'm a good boy who shows up in time, brings my flasks, foods and pots.

Hardware/Connection (we assume your computer and connection are fit for raiding, only tell us about out of oridinary stuff):
- I rarely have any problem with my internet connection. I think my fps in raids are 40-50fps. My gameplay is usually not bothered by really slow fps and lag etc... well except for on sha...
