Armory link:

4. How stable is your connection?
Pretty stable, usually no disconnecting.

5. Tell us about your class and how you play it in raids.
Hmm what do you want to know about my class? I'm a paladin, don't know much about them except the holy part
How I play in raids; cast beacon on one of the tanks and usually heal the other tank or some raid members. I also make sure to cast judgement of light because it increases casting speed and it also heals the raid members. For the rest yeah.. hard to explain what I do really....

6. What consumables would you bring for a progression raid?
Flasks (the mp5 one or the spellpower one), food (+crit +mp5 or +spellpower), drinks if there's no mage. Healing & mana pots


7. Why do you want to leave your current/why did you leave your previous guild?
I have been thinking about it for a while now. Our guildleader left recently and some of our more "hardcore" members as well. So now my time has come too.

8. Why do you wish to join this guild?
You guys seem like a nice friendly guild and serious towards raiding.

9. What's your /played for total and for your level?
total time: 25 days, 11 hours, 27 minutes
this level: 6 days, 16 hours, 2 minutes


10. Are you able to listen and speak on ventrilo?
Listen always, speak not always because I don't have a mic at my parents place.

11. Tell us a bit about your real-life situation, what kind of work or education do you have?
During the week I live by myself (with 4 roommates) at the city where I'm studying. During the weekend / holidays I live with my parents. Next to my study I also have a part time job in a supermarket, but I usually don't have to work in the evenings.

12. Is there any current member of the guild who would vote for you?
Daexter and Reacz I think

There's my armory link.. thought I posted it but i didn't

o, here

I can definitely vouch for Meri as healer! have been in quite a few raids with her :] Good luck with zeh apply and I really hope you get in

Well before making a decision I would say that you should gem for intellect.
If I was you I would change the meta gem fro sure in the 21intellect + mana back on cast.
Then use 1 purple gem, and socket the rest for intellect.
Since replenishment is your main source of mana restoration (and your crits ofc)
But in general it looks ok.
One very important thing is your spec, I would sujest :

While I'm not 100% sure about if you are ready for the later stage of Ulduar healing intensity I'm waiting with the decision to see what you got to say about the way you socket.
Cause ofcourse I can't decide on just stats and like to perhaps see you in action first

I'm just trying to help here, since I play a holydin myself.
And did some theorycrafting about it.

Let's wait and see.

Looks like a good application to me!
-I cant help but wonder from where you've heard about Daedalus?
and we'll get back to you as soon as possible =)

It's a good apply yes, I didn't say that

I have always been told that crit rating is one of the most important stats for a paladin, that's why I took the crit gem. I've always been doing fine this way, but since Ulduar I do have some mana-issues so changing gems to intellect is a good idea (why didn't i think of that ) I will go and chance those

And where I heard from Daedalus; from Daexter and Reacz. I've been playing with Daexter/Waiizli pretty much since I started playing WoW.

im not the specialist but basicly you can always use +16 intelect gems, even if you will loose socket bonus if its not crit or intelect ofc

Yes but the meta gem is also a great source of mana restoration.
And don't forget crit only gives crit.
Intellect on the other hand gives you mana + spellpower + crit and therefore is the holydin it's main choise

Once you changed the meta, the sockets (and eventual +16int on bracers) I think we can agree to give you a trial.
This is the one - 2% chance to restore 300mana on spellcast

One more thing, are you planning to be really active at raiding?

I got the gems changed now and did a little respec.

And yes I was hoping I could join you guys in the raids, that is one of the reasons I would like to join.
I'm not sure what you mean by "really active", but I would like to come to as many raids as possible...

yea, talents looks much better with 15 points in retri tree
1 gem left in shoulders, but i think we could give her a chance.
i could give my (tank's) live in to her hands... i think

The shoulder gem is needed for Meta-gem activation

ok, my bad
anyway, if she can keep me alive, its ok
thats why i said "give her a chance"

Well well Loras, not just a chance.
The will to listen and adjust on such a short time certainly has proven that she wants this.
And the attitude is really positive so yes you will be given a trial

Welcome to the guild, feel free to poke someone ingame for an invite.
The trial will last until we are happy about your performance, attendance and behaviour in general.

Good luck and welcome
