Hey guys, I'm posting here for a couple reasons... one, my realm doesn't have very much high-level raid competition so I'd like to transfer, and two, it's a smoother transition to get in with guys you know and maybe someone here knows me and can vouch for me ... if not, I'll try to give a good impression of what I'm like and what my goals in the game are.
My background: I'm 22 years old. I play poker pretty leisurely for a living and have no other obligations of any kind, so I am able to (and do) play exorbitantly.
Character: 70 Horde Mage on Dunemaul (PvP)
Armory: The World of Warcraft Armory
I also have ~200 badges saved up to replace the boots and violet signet with new badge gear, and the blessings deck to get Darkmoon Card: Crusade when the faire comes around on Monday.
Talent Build: 11/47/3. I switch back and forth between this and 2/48/11, but I'm at 11/47/3 now to help hit the spell hit cap for spellsteal to tank Krosh and because I have found I'm running out of mana in fights that go longer than 8 minutes or so. These are pretty much the only two builds feasible for endgame raiding as far as I know, but if I need to respec for whatever reason I will.
Raiding experience: Kara, Gruul's, some ZA.
Available raid times: Anytime, any day, for however long.
Why I'm leaving my current guild: I love the people in my guild and it was a very difficult decision to leave. I hate abandoning people, but it is getting to the point where my personal ambitions with the game are exceeding where I think this guild can take me. We are currently a somewhat leisurely raiding guild that has vague plans to progress, but no real game plan to execute that progression. Most of the people in the guild play the game on the side for fun, which is fine for them but is not what I have in mind.
About me and my goals in the game: I'm very passionate and dedicated to whatever I am doing. I want to be the best mage I can possibly be. Generally I would have said I'd like to be the best mage in the world, but I realize that my having only started the game two and a half months ago may preclude me from doing so. I will do my damndest though. I theorycraft like crazy. All my gear is picked out very carefully to maximize dps, and though I have very few pieces from higher level raids I find that I am able to keep on par with or surpass people who are ostensibly more well-geared than I am. Despite the fact that I am very hard-nosed about the game, personally I am pretty easygoing. I don't like to get into fights that often, I hate guild drama, and I'm pretty patient with people and open to criticism.
Disclaimer: I realize that my having very little experience with 25-man raids may be a huge detractor, but I'm sure it is not. I am very meticulous in my planning, and before any raid or instance I study and familiarize myself with every pull, every trash mob, and every boss strategy. I watch videos and try to come up with strategies of my own. Barring something immoral, there is nothing I won't do to get a leg up on the competition. In addition, my gear is currently on par with TK/SSC drops, and the only pieces I need out of T5 are off Vashj and in ZA.
That's all I can think of for now. If you have more questions don't hesitate to ask or pm me. Thanks for reading.
