PERSONAL INFORMATION
Name:
Robert

Age:
18

Gender:
Male

Country:
Denmark

Occupation:
Last year at High School before University.
Working as a Graphic for a company in Denmark.

How good is your english:
Excellent!

Anything else about you, the person, we might be interested in:
I really like to program in my spare time, when I'm not playing WoW.

CHARACTER INFORMATION

Nickame: Eosol
Armory Link: Armory Link
Mainspec: Affliction
Offspec: Destruction
Professions: Maxed Enchanting and maxed tailoring.

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. We will likely consult your profile with Mr. Robot. If you're doing something different than it indicates, please explain the reasoning.
I got everything except for wrist and main-hand enchant. I got the mats in my bank, so I just need to borrow an enchanter with the recipes.
As for the legendary gem, I'm working on it.

Do you get enough valor on a weekly basis to upgrade your gear as much as possible?
I cap every week.

What do you consider the most significant pros and cons of your class/spec in the current state of affairs:
Affliction's pro is definitely the high damage output, compared to other specs. As for cons, I would say doing trash, since the dots don't get to tick that much.
Another pro is the multi-dotting.

Tell us about your alts (armory links included), how good are you with them:
I stopped doing alt's in MOP, so that I can focus everything on one character. Although, in Cataclysm I got about 6 or so characters to 85.

YOUR PERFORMANCE

Please provide a WoL log presenting your awesomeness. In absence of logs, post screenshots of recount/skada from an encounter of the current tier.
Without this, you will most likely be rejected.
I haven't raided yet this tier, although I raided the first and second tier of Cataclysm. Which is why I can't get any WoL logs.

Which pve addons do you use?
I use Recount and BigWigs (Although, I'm thinking about switching back to DBM).

Show us your UI.
Clicky
Sorry, this is the best I can do for now. (I don't have any pictures of me during bosses, since I'm focusing on the boss).

Raiding Experience (be thourough here, the more information you give us, the better; both pre-MoP and present progress is interesting for us; tell us about previous guilds):
None in vanilla, TBC and WoTLK, because I didn't start playing WoW seriously before Cataclysm. But I've been playing WoW since end of Vanilla.

Cataclysm:
This is when I started raiding, I did this with my Holy Paladin in a guild on Frostwhisper. I learned all the basics of raiding in this first guild, although it all ended when they had to cut their roster (/w me in-game for reason)

Then I decided to try something new and rolled horde on a friend's server (Zenedar). Here I found a guild named "Puppeteers", this was when Firelands was released, I then decided to move my Holy Paladin to the server and join their guild.
I did really well with healing in this guild, and had really well mana management (something I learned from the first raiding guild) thus having really high (if not the best) healing numbers, while still having mana saved for emergencies.

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). If you can't make it on any of our raiding days on a general basis, do not apply.
Expect 100%, unless shit hits the fan (which I hope never happen).

Any external factors affecting activity we ought to know about (some flexibility applies, but we really want players able to join all 3 raids a week):
My work, but it's really (really) flexible. So no worries.

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):
My first serious character was a Warlock, which I started during Vanilla/TBC.
Then I rolled a Warlock on Zenedar, which is level 90.
And then last but not least I rolled another Warlock here on Ravencrest, which is now my main.

As you can see, I really love Warlocks and as per usual I always make sure to keep up to date with Elitist Jerks as well as other webpages to make sure I'm optimized.

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):
I make sure to read tactics on the internet (text-form) and watch videos on YouTube to get the visual, so that I can make sure I understand everything that happens on the raid fight.
Dungeon Journal is also helpful. Last but not least, I try to find Warlock POV or forums with warlocks discussing such fights. To get an idea of what is best to do on the fight as well as getting tips.

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).
Heroic Chimaeron. Since I was on my Holy Paladin I was healing obviously. And we all know this is a healer fight, which makes it really interesting. All the coordination there was from the healer perspective was a lot of fun.
And of course having to communicate with other healers to make sure everything went smoothly.

Keep in mind I was pretty new to raiding during this encounter, so I had felt like I had a lot of pressure on this fight. But I do like being pressured (having to concentrate on doing the highest possible DPS, while still doing the boss mechanics right and not standing in shit).

GUILD RELATED

Why are you applying to The Enigma Order, what made you choose us, when and where did you first hear about us:
I'm looking for a raiding guild currently and so I was looking through WoWProgress for a fitting guild. I then came across yours and it seemed like a perfect fit.
You've a really good raiding schedule and even better, you're looking for Warlocks!

What do you expect from us, as a guild:
I expect you're acting "professional" during raid encounters, meaning you'll do your best during raid progress.

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):
Yes, I read the rules and also looked at your DKP system.
And have no problems with them at all.

When unsure about any aspect of the game, be that tactics, class specific assignments, how do you proceed:
If there's a boss mechanic I'm unsure about before a pull. I just ask in VT/TS to make sure we don't fail because of me.
But if it's a class specific assignment I'm confused about, I might just whisper a person who does it perfectly, so I don't disturb the raid leader.

Why do you play WoW, what are your objectives, why commit more than 10 hours a week to a computer game:
WoW is pretty much a perfect game for me, so much to do. PvE is really fun and makes you feel like you accomplished something. And I really like doing PvP for fun, and WoW PvP is the only one I like currently, since there are so many buttons instead of just a single gun in FPS games.
Last but not least, you can play with friends and raid old content, as well as mount collect and other stuff.
So much to do!

Is there anything else you would like to include that may assist your application.
Yes! I need to borrow one of your enchanters with wrist enchant learned as well as Jade Spirit!
