-- Personal Information --

Name:
Kane

Age:
18

Country of Residence:
United Kingdom

Occupation:
Student, learning Motorsport Mechanics at college

Internet connection specs(up and down speed, Do you often disconnect):
My connection is always good, and disconnects happen at max once per night.

--Computer specification--

Processor:
AMD 9950 Black Edition (Quad)

RAM:
4Gb

Graphics Card:
NVidia 9800GT+

What do you do outside of WoW:
Outside of WoW I like to spend time with my Fiancé, paint Warhammer miniatures, go to college and occasionally get drunk with friends.

-- In-game information --
Name:
Docshock

Race:
Troll

Class:
Shaman

Specc(Why do you play this specc):
0/16/55
I use a variation of this standard spec, putting the points from Healing Way into other, more immediately useful talents, such as Elemental Weapons, as I feel this benefits my healing more than reduced pushback, especially as I shouldn't be the target in a raid.

What glyphs do you use and why?
I currently use:
-Riptide, as it allows my HoT to carry on ticking longer, for no extra mana, which can have some noticeable repercussions on longer fights.
-Earth Shield, because it gives the tank just that little extra EH, and can give a slight leeway to the tank healer(s).
-Chain Heal, So that I can more effectively heal the raid.

Gem choices(Explain why you've socketted like you've done):
I have never found mana to be an issue in fights in ICC with my current gear, so I followed all the advice and stacked as much haste as possible, to bring my cast times as close to their minimum as possible.

Profession skill(Why did you choose these?):
I chose Herb and Alch. Herb mainly to fuel the Alch. Alch to supply my own potions, and get the increased duration and effect. Also, the gold can be quite nice =)

Current and previous guild(s) and your reason for leaving:
On this server, I have yet to join a guild, having only recently transferred here from Alliance on Twilight's Hammer, where I also have an 80 Hunter, who was my Main until recently.

Current server:

Alts worth mentioning:
None of note on this server, however my hunter on Twilight's Hammer may be of interest

-- Raiding --
What raiding experience do you have?(LIST EVERYTHING)
On this character I have 8/12 ICC10 6/12 ICC25

On my hunter I have experience of 11/12 ICC10/25 with several attempts on LK
Ulduar up to Hodir
All of Naxx and EoE etc.

How do you prepare for new content?
I prepare for new content by finding out as much information as possible on the encounters, be they video or text. EG Portals on DW.
I then try to find out my particular role in the fight, and if necessary get re-enchanted/gemmed.

Why do you like raiding?
To be honest I myself am not 100% sure on this. Its an amalgamation of many different aspects I enjoy. I like working as part of a well oiled machine, but at the same time, I also enjoy having a laugh while we kill/wipe a boss. I do like getting new gear, but it is the least of my priorities in a raid. I prefer to see the group get better as a whole, rather than pull ahead.

Which days can you normally attend(Yes or no), if not, why:
Wednesday 19-22:30 - Yes ordinarily, but still unsure as to my new college timetable.
Thursday: 19-22:30 - Yes ordinarily, but still unsure as to my new college timetable.
Sunday: 19-22:30 - Definite yes. Every week Sunday is a 100% guarantee without fail.
Monday: 19-22:30 - Yes ordinarily, but still unsure as to my new college timetable.

-- Mandatory questions --
- Name 2 WoW related sites and discuss how they are useful tools for bettering your raiding ability:
- mmo-champion is a site I frequent a lot, as it has lots of varied and useful opinions on many aspects of gameplay, for any class you choose.
- Tankspot is an invaluable tool for learning boss fights, and I ensure I watch these 2-3 times at least before I try a new encounter.

- Do you have a microphone? (If the answer is "no", stop here)
Yes, and I'm not afraid to use it =)

- Can your computer run Ventrilo? (If the answer is "no", stop here)
Yes, and I use my own personal vent a lot to talk to friends

- Why do you want to join Meliora Cogito?
I want to join Meliora Cogito because I find your name intriguing, and you have a lot of Ideals that match my feelings towards gameplay etc.

- What do you expect from us?
I expect nothing more than an enjoyable place to play with likeminded individuals, who all strive to achieve a common goal.

- What should we expect from you?
A level-headed, mature player, who is not afraid to listen and take onboard anything and everything thrown my way. I am more than happy to sit on a boss for hours if it means the guild can progress to new heights.

- Can you take (sometimes harsh) criticism?
Definitely. Doubly so if it means I can perform better as a player.

- What is your greatest weakness as a WoW player?
I am willing to invest far too much of my free time into whatever needs doing in-game, be it hours of farming, or hours of boss attempts. Not always a bad thing, but I am always online far too much =P

- What is your your greatest strength as a WoW player?
Can take the good with the bad. I don't get disheartened over a wipe/loot, and will always bounce back with as much enthusiasm as the first attempt.

- What is your pvp experience:
My PvP experience as Ele is reasonable at best. I play BGs with friends on vent, where we can single out specific people to nuke to oblivion.

- Favourite artist/band:
I listen to Death/Black metal, my current music tastes are Lamb of God, Meshuggah, Nile and so forth.

- Favourite movies:
Erm... Do we have all day?
- The Fast and Furious Quadrilogy, as it pertains to my college course.
- Space Jam, just a classic piece of awesomesauce.
- Matrix Trilogy, lets face it, who doesn't.
- Death Race
The list could go on and on... For a longer list /w me ingame xD

- Cookies or bananas:
Why choose? Or even a Banana Cookie!

- What's your favorite kind of pie?
without a doubt Banoffee Pie is the supreme king of all pies. We shall bow down to it.

Hello Docshock.

Apply looks decent.
Got some qeustion for you, why are u using 50 Sp and 20 spirit on your leggings u gain nothing from spirit whatsoever going with 50 sp and 30 stamina is way better.
Also what is up with the 16 haste gems if u wanna max out your Character you wanna be using the best enchants/gems etc etc.
Talking about enchant fix your shoulder and put a proper cloak enchant.
Just an idea for you might be worth pvping a bit and get the Battlemaster trinket.
Battlemaster's Avidity
If you are willing to change these stuff im willing to give you a trial.

Hiya.
The Enchant on my leggings was simply a case of what my tailoring friend had laying about for free, as I don't have a huge amount of cash atm.
The 16 haste gems are there partly for the same reason, and also partly because I don't want to socket 300g's worth of gem into an item I'm only wearing until something better crops up - My shoulders for example. Also the reason I have yet to put an enchant on them either.

The trinket I'm using at the moment is there mainly for its proc chance, which seems unintentionally high, with it being up for about 50-60% of the fight. This gives me a huge mana regen boost, but still allows me to socket more haste.

As for my cloak enchant, I was under the impression this was the only haste enchant for a cloak, if I was wrong, I will happily change it asap.

Again, a lot of my current socketing etc comes down to a lack of funds/unwillingness to throw money away on gear that I will soon replace with frosts/drops.

EDIT:- I updated the gems in my Ring and Boots with 20 haste gems. My shoulders and cloak have Hit rating on them, and are being worn simply because they were better than what I had previously, but I don't want to keep them in the long run.

Your application was great, but cheap gems/enchants are often a sign of laziness which isnt an attribute(flaw?) we are intrested in. Anyhow, your application outweighs your gems. But we expect you to use the best gems and enchants.



Accepted, whisper any of officer for invite



And thaiyro, there's a battlemasters with 128haste nowadays Wink
