General Questions

Tell us a little of your history in WoW.:

Well, where to start. I was here playing wow 10 years ago. I played vanilla just for the feel of leveling up and exploring zones. I loved the game so much that i changed characters countless of times and finally i hit 60 about 2 months before BC. During BC i raided, experienced guild drama, suffered from being a shaman healer but still i loved the game. Wrath was also raid for me but this ended with Cata. I never raided again but experienced LFR till before MoP. THen i skipped the game nearly fully till the release of WoD. Now i am applying cause with the new expansion i feel the "need" to be part of a guild. Saw someone was sponsoring it on general chat so here i am.

How do you feel about the state of your class in the game?:

Being absent from the game in the past year i think i missed much of the updates on the class.
I fell totems lost they usefulness and something is missing but i did not had time to check what is good or what is bad atm. I love playing ele sham and since i am quite fresh, i guess i will discover more during the expansion progress.

What led you to our guild and what would you like to accomplish with us?:

After the release of WoD, i felt i am in need of a guild. I dont like the garrisons feature much, since it feels quite lonely feature. I saw someone sponsoring Downfall and asked about your guild. Sorry i dont recall the name, but i saw many of you online during my weird play times (i am in Korea now and play in the morning or evening when in USA is late evening or early morning), so i checked your site and here i am.
What i want to accomplish is being part of the guild. Bring whatever i can to make it proud of my presence and do my best to help wherever it is needed. I am a casual player, having family and work, so i dont think i will be able to raid or at least not hardcore style. But on anything else, being it old content runs or instances i will do my best to add the little i can.

Also i do not see UI comments below so i will just add a comment here. I do not have any UI. I use Blizzards one, and i just change my portrait and target one location.

Which days are you available for organized guild events? (Raids, RBGs, etc):

Monday

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

Friday

Saturday

Sunday

Upload UI:

Which addons do you consider essential and why?:

About addons i just use damage meters and eventually get decurse. Till now i did just fine without any UI. If the guild for any reason need me to have any specific ones i will abide whatever are these.

What do you like in particular about the UI you are currently using?:

As i said i do not have any UI beside standard Blizzard one.

PvE

Raid Experience:

MY raid experience as i stated above ended with the release of Cataclysm. If i recall i just did the first boss of the Deathwing raid on heroic and thats it. After that LFR was my tool. Work and family kept me out of raiding. I dont know for the future but as of now, i consider myself a casual player.

Describe Your Playstyle:

From the state of the game. Ele shamans fall behing most of the dps classes especially melee. When i run heroics i find myself more useful as a supprt healer rather than full dps. So yes, i am the last dps, but at least the second healer :)

What specializations do you have experience with?:

Elemental and resto. But restoration burned me during raid life in BC and then i relied heavily on dps specs only.

What are your most and least favorite boss encounters?:

Neveer done any new raids, but i must say that smashing buttons in LFR is not fun at all.

PvP

PvP Experience:

Nearly none. I am actually liking the way blizzard is handling the pvp in WoD. At least i am not dieing in 2 seconds and can do some stuff. Kinda fun actually and i am planning to dedicate pvp more of my play time.

Is PvP your primary focus?:

Are you interested in participating in guild rated battlegrounds?:

Yes

Personal

Is English your first language?:

No, but i guess it is quite obvious as i made many spelling mistakes

What timezone are you in?:

Korea (i have still to figure whats the time difference with USA zones)

Tell us a little about yourself.:

I am quite old, approaching the 4th letter with 0. Married, with a child nearly 2 years old, who is my main aggro encounter during the day. When sleep effect ends, so is my playtime :)
Anything else is that family life is quite standard so i dont have any "rare" or "epic" achievements in real life beside being born in Russia, grown up in Italy, met my wife in Japan (but shes korean) and now we live in Korea. Why i play on a US server? Because Warsong was my first ever server ten years ago and with WoD release i feel like coming back in time during BC so i transferred there and will stay i hope for long.

Hello Mitriid. I appreciate

Hello Mitriid. I appreciate that you took your time and filled out the app.

You clearly stated that you are casual and that is perfectly ok. We have a lot of people who enjoy the game in many different ways. I really like your answers and you sound like a good man.

One thing I will say is that even though you are casual I bet we can get you using some add-ons.. especially elvui. Its just a great ui.

WWe are a good respectful and fun community so I think you may fit in nicely with us.

Someone may come along and ask you questions and get you on mumble just to talk and get to know you a bit. So please hang tight :)

Thank you
