[APPROVED] Arkon - 70 Shaman

Hi all.

Here's my application, set according to PB's standards. (NOTE: I didn't put my spec into the title because frankly, I can fill all 3 specs as desired. I will spec to whatever the raid/guild needs me to.)

Your raid talent spec. Include a link to a talent calculator (preferably wowhead):

I'll spec whatever the raid needs me to. I'd like to raid as Enhancement but if that's not possible I'd raid as Elemental or Restoration.
Elemental raid spec:http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=hE0zE0MRAotZE0ck0x
Enhancement raid spec: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=hZxVbdVMsAuqox0ed
Restoration raid spec: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=hVcZZEc0tAeoted

Your relevant stats for raiding. We can armory you, but we'd like to ensure we don't see PVP stats. Casters should state their spell damage (or fire/frost/shadow dmg), spell hit, spell crit. Healers state their healing and mp5 while casting. Physical DPS state their AP, hit, and crit. Tanks state your unbuffed hp, armor, dodge/parry/block/block value:

Elemental stats:
630 Spell damage (low, I know.)
18% Spell Crit
0 (9% from Talents)

Enhancement stats (These are an estimate as I am not sure of the EXACT stats, but they are a little above what's listed):
1300 AP
125 Hit (9% from Talents added)
23% Crit

Restoration stats (See above):
1500 Healing
130 mp5

Your raid experience. Both Pre and Post TBC experience. Include fights you have seen personally (on your main character) but have not defeated:

Pre BC: Everything up until Patchwerk.
BC: All of Karazhan, Gruul, Magtheridon, 4/6 SSC, 2/4 TK.

Acknowledgment of agreement to our rules and times. Indicate that you can make our raid times as discussed above, understand the basics of our loot system, and will comply with other rules as necessary. You agree to be prepared as possible for raids (no last-minute potion making). You also agree that sometimes you may get benched if your class isn't needed, you may lose a lot of loot rolls due to randomness, and that raiding can be stressful and things said in raids are never personal. Applicants are not expected to have seen all of the bosses we have killed, but they should be willing to research those fights on their own time so don't have to explain the fight:


Yes.

Two major upgrades to your gear for your class/spec from SSC/TK. Do not include Tier 5 loot. If you have one or zero major upgrades (because of poor itemization or you don't need anything), indicate so:

Not many, basically any attack power/caster mail. But to be specific, Ranger-General's Chestguard and Tsunami Talisman.

A short guild history. You will not be automatically disqualified for being in a bad guild (everyone makes mistakes). You should briefly discuss why you moved from one guild to the next. If you were kicked out, include any relevant details. You are allowed to be guilded while you recruit with us:

COMMUNISM (GASP, AWE, SHOCK!): I was actually one of the few people in the guild determined about raiding. Even though the guild has a bad rep from Spaceballs' trade chat adventures, we were once a decent raiding guild. When all the other raiders left, I just wandered around from guild to guild, looking for a real raiding environment. I'm currently in Scholars and Gentlemen now because a couple friends are in that guild and I like chatting with them.

The reason you are applying to Damage Done. Please give more than just a, "I want to raid" reason. We're looking for something more along the lines of, "I can't make my guild's raid times" or "My guild doesn't need my spec in a raid" and other legitimate reasons:

With my old guild practically dead, I've been looking for a real raiding guild. I know a few people in this guild too, so the raiding itself will be enjoyable for me. I'd like to be a part of a guild working on SSC/TK, and I'd like to be there for when we down Kael'Thas, to be able to say "I was a part of that". The current guild I'm in even has trouble doing Karazhan because of poor attendance/guild drama. Basically, I'd like to join Damage Done to be a part of a raiding environment, to meet new people, and get to know said people.

Finally, tell us in one or two sentences why you would be a good addition to Damage Done. You may include humor, non sequiturs, or anything else you haven't covered:

I'm friendly (unless otherwise drunk...Don't ask) and I usually get along with people. I'm happy to help out people whenever possible, and, according to some, I have a sense of humor. I'm easy going and I try not to let guild drama get to me.

Well, there it is. I await a reply and thanks in advance.

Read and reviewed. We'll get back to you in a few days max (holidays make it a bit hard).

We could use an active Enhance Shammy. I love da Hoof to death, but he doesn't seem to be around much. Even if Hoof comes back and is more active Arkon seems to be willing to be flexible to spec changes.

You've been approved to test run with Damage Done.

Here are your instructions:

Be ready to be invited to a raid today, Friday 12/28, no later than 6:30 PM server time. Make sure you are spec'd properly and have a good stock of consumables in case we try something challenging. You should be prepared to handle any fight in SSC or TK (short of Kael'Thas) by knowing the strategy in advance. You may not be invited if we have a lot of physical DPS online. In that case, you'll need to be ready to go again on Sunday no later than 2:30 server time.

The recruitment process will take at least a week. You will need to run a few 25-mans with us and space may not always be available. After a few runs, we will determine if you will be welcome into Damage Done. If welcomed, you will be a recruit for a period of three raids. After three raids, you will be allowed to roll on items. Until then, you will only be allowed to roll on items that no full member wants or needs.

This thread will be locked in a day.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

However, something has come up that I had no knowledge of beforehand, and I will not be online for about 4 or 5 days. I know this is an inconvenience and I apologize. If my trial runs could be scheduled for a later date, that would be great.

16 hr days of clinicals are making it difficult to get anything done. And yea, too much time has been spent for me to go any other spec ever again.

A few more weeks and I will hopefully be back on the scene.

We miss ya, Hoof, we're just tryin' to cover our bases right now until you get back.
