Do you get enough valor on a weekly basis to upgrade your gear as much as possible?
I always get the max valor per week on my main as on my primary alts.

What do you consider the most significant pros and cons of your class/spec in the current state of affairs:
It used to be many things but since i started playing enhancement more and more since i was told that enchancement shaman was preferred as a char, most of the cons have dissapeared due to getting more skill and experience with it and becoming more fluent with handling the char and using its many cds at timely intervals, to waste less and less dps, the only real problems i have with the spec is that in hcs when playing with other high geared and experienced players like the ppl from the guild, i cant get to any good dps on the mobs unles there in countless numbers like the spam of mobs before first boss in brewery because they die too quikly, for an elemental its much easier since chain lightning spam. But this is ofc completely irrelevant in raids and on bosses.

Tell us about your alts (armory links included), how good are you with them:
Atm i have one other lv 90 wich is http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/r … dan/simple
But for the rest there all between lv 85 and 90 and i only play with them if i got time to spare but since im soo busy with gearing this guy up and getting some experience with him these last two weeks, i havent rly played on any of them. But my previous experience was with most other classes and many of them i was very handy with them, but since that was always during previous expansions and so much has changed with every class i dont feel qualified to say how my expertise with them has stayed the same and how it has deteriorated... but im a quik study.
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:
Unfortunaly cant give what i dont have... since i have only raided once with this guy when he had dinged a day before and that was with low gear and not even hit or exp capped... so il leave that judgement to hessie next time were in a raid together. since i geared this guy up quite nicely in the almost tw weeks since he has dinged, (he dinged last saterday) excluding the fact of such bad luck with drops wich not even smalle's luck for other ppl could not fix...


Which pve addons do you use? All the ones that are needed for a raid.

World of Warcraft and Me:
My homerealm was Nordrassil where i started during tbc and also my first raiding experience was obtained there. The first one i joined was named Naga stole my bike and they kinda learned me the game of raiding and we mostly did kara. I stayed for them till pretty much the end of tbc in wich the leaders decided to disband the guild bcs they personally were quitting the game. During wotlk i joined numerous guilds bcs it was pretty hectic there with the smaller guilds frequently being absorbed bye the bigger ones so that they could do heroic 10 man and 25 man. So i followed the leaders when something like that happened. i cleared nax many times and also most of the achs for it when it was still the only real raid then i got bored and stopped with the game for 1 month in wich i came back when i finally joined the 2nd best guild of the servers with my mage named bane wich was lead bye the dk Junice who was the best dk of the server if not in the list of the 10 best dks of the world. ( sorry i know looks a bit like a wowcrush but she was rly good.... ) i stayed with them till icc in wich junice disbanded the guild and merged with her best players to Kyl wich was the best guild of the realm and stayed the best one it was officially disbanded a year later or so bcs of the transfer of many of the best ppl to other realms including me. Bye the end of icc, when i got bored i came here to start as allience but that didnt last longer then 2 months and i decided to go back to Nordrassil but when i got back i saw the guild got disbanded and all my friends were either transferred or just left the game altogether. So i started a new "life" among the horde side of this realm where i stayed till 2 months ago and i went back to allience but i still raided with my guild there wich was named Escalated in wich im stil in atm but it does not raid anymore since a month ago because a huge dispute made 2 of the core group in wich im part of leave the guild so raiding has been cancelled till panda time. but like i said before i was alrdy planning to leaving the horde side forever and that the only thing holding me there was that guild and the raiding i could do but now most of the ppl are inactive so for me this is the end and now i want to focus solely on allience for the rest of cata and the entire mop expansion. This is a copy of issalan section since it tells everything about what happened to me till i joined you guys in last year in June. and the rest you guys have been witness too.

Internet Stability: It is stable, i only had two dcs in the last 3 months in wich i raided 3 nights a week every week for 3 hours each night and each dc i was able to log right back in and was never during a fight but more like getting in the instance or being ported and stuff like that. also a copy but this hasnt changed since 6 months ago

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):
Well i have never played shaman as a main before, so i cant rly be the judge of that, theres still much i must learn about my class wich i will discover on my own as i gain experience raiding with him and the other stuff i will learn bye watching and talking to the other shammies of the guild. I choose this char to raid with because i wanted to rejoin the guild and start raiding with you guys again and thats why i choose this char bcs you needed an enchancement shaman or lets say preferred an enhancement shaman..

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):
The same as i always did read up on their abilities first on numerous sites and then watch a couple of movies of it on youtube pref fatboss first and then other ones to see if there are any differences in what they are saying and to make sure one of them didnt forget something to say wich was important to my class/role.

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 fucked up on spine the first raid night numerous times wich uto can attest to... but i learned and the weeks that followed i got better and better untill she even gave me a compliment on spine hc farm, wich im sure i did not imagine no matter what she will say when she reads this
GUILD RELATED

Why are you applying to The Enigma Order, what made you choose us, when and where did you first hear about us:
Well my previous experience with you guys on raid nights and in general wich is why im trying so hard to get another spot in the raid group. i enioyed my time alot with the guild but when i came back from vacation in august and uni was about to start i tried to stop bcs i thought it would be best for my studies but ive experienced that i got more then enough time for my classes and to raid 3 nights a week and still have a social life. And i missed wow althogether.

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):
They were and are still more then agreeable to me.

When unsure about any aspect of the game, be that tactics, class specific assignments, how do you proceed:
If its a class question i would wisp hessie or just ask in our shaman channel. If its something about my particular role that i was assigned to bye the raid leader, id wisp the raid leader.

Goal Of Raiding: Simple: Fun

And that is obtained bye trying to progress in a difficult raid fight with a good and fun team when after a few days/weeks of wiping we finally down that boss.

HARDWARE

Well i hope my previous experience with raid nights will suffice since i never had a problem with internet stability or disconnect issues. and nothing has changed since then.

Should you be accepted, you will be asked to provide your cellphone number to the leading team. This is for the sake of on-going coordination, your number will not be made public nor used for anything not related to the game. Is this ok?
No problem, im used to it
