Name: Taylorn
Age: 17 (i turn 18 july 5th Very Happy

)
Class: Priest
Spec & Reason for the spec: Holy. I leveled as holy and i really love healing.

Willing to Change Spec as needed? Yes. Though i doubt you want me to go shadow because my damage gear kinda sucks.

Do you farm your own consumables & have ample repair money? and What consumables do you use when raiding? Yes i do. I dont have AMPLE repair money but i most always find a way to get it myself.( I hate taking handouts and i yell at people when they try to give me money). The consuambles that i use when raiding are usually Elixir of Draenic Wisdom, Elixir of Mastery/Adept's Elixir, and Golden Fish sticks.

Please link your armory here: http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Dragonmaw&n=Taylorn

Please Fill in the following unbuffed stats:
+ Healing: 1864
MP5 (while casting): 191
Crit %: 12.27 Holy Spells
Spell Dmg:
Hit/Spell Hit Rating:
Attack Power:
Mana: 9855
Health: 7361

Reason for leaving your previous guild: I didnt really leave it we disbanded due to most of the officers leaving the guild or quiting the game.

Raiding Experience: I have cleared kara, gruuls, mag, and everything in ZA except zul'gin. I did do a few attempts on lurker but we wiped every time because people didnt know how to freaking jump in the water. Sad

What is your raiding availability?: I am usually on at 3-4 pm server if not before that and can stay on untill 9 pm server at the latest. And if i am going to miss a raid because sometimes i have to go to my dads for the night (usually tuesday or thursday) but i will know a few days beforehand. But i am availible for most of the day on weekends and i graduate on the 23rd so i will probably be playing alot for a bit after that.

How active are you? (must be able to raid 4-5x per week): Lets just say i play the game waaaaaaaaaaay more than i should.

Why do you want to join The Placeholder Pirates?: Because you guys know how to get stuff done, you progress very well, and i would like to help out with that and be a part of it.

Do you know anyone in PHP? If so, who? Yes. I have known Duredain since lvl 35 i think and that was a looooong time ago. I also know Danson.

Anything you would like to add?: Nope that pretty much covers everything and i hope i will get to raid with you guys Very Happy

Hmmmm... well, your MP5 is really low. I haven't looked at your armory though, so you may be able to sacrifice a bit of +healing for some +mp5 by regemming. I'd have a chat with Aliah and see what's what.

Definitely need to re gem a lot of your items, if you do intend to be a raider in this guild. And your mp5 is really low, because in my crappy healing gear I almost have the same amount of mp5 as you do >>.

Another thing that caught my attention was your lack of raid experience seeing as how you never stepped foot in T5 content besides the beginning part of SSC for a few attempts of lurker.

well theres my two cents

Your going to have to totally re-gem ALL your gear. Green quality gems = BIG no no!! I don't know if theres any better gear you can get from badges. But work towards that. Priests generally stack healing/spirit. IE: Purified Shadow Pearl and the Spirit cut of Star of Elune/Empreyan Sapphire. Just that simple re gem of your gear would probally add 30=50 mp5. I would also reccomend vitality to boots instead off 12 stam. If you need gems cut come see me anytime. I cut them free for guildies. G

Aside from that, As a raid leader, I expect everyone to come fights being prepared ahead of time. You need to spend time out of raid researching fights and knowing the boss abilities. You would be significantly behind in this respect because we're 4/5 5/9 (soon to be 7/9 Very Happy

) however, can you get up to speed quickly, but most importantly, Can you play your class!!!

Lastly, the lack of raid experience is a concern of mine as well. T5 content fights do teach you things you will use in T6 encounters. But like I said up top, if you can catch on quick, follow instructions and do your h.w before the fights then you will most likely be ok. If Aliah & Ajal support your app, and you re gem your gear, then I will as well and will look forward to seeing you in a trial run.

to be brutally honest, the fact your gear is so wrongly gemmed really counts against you. I'm not talking about vendor gems (which is bad enough) but the fact that they are the WRONG gems gives me the impression of a lack of class knowledge, which is something I personally dont want to see coming into T6 raids

We have a few decent holy priests now. Your gear still needs a fair bit of work to be able to properly contribute to T6 content with us. Going to archive this app for the time being.
