Gatesy, L80 Human Priest

Your Character

1. About Your character
Character Name: Gatesy
Race: Human
Class: Priest
Time /played: 44 days
Alts (if any) - name, level, race and class please:

None on this server for now


2. Your character's talents - what's your spec, and why?

http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#bVcbhZZGxfVRfzdfqfzAo
This seems to be the highest rated dps spec. The only real change I can make with it is to drop Imp VE and put a point into Inner focus and one more point into Focused Mind, or 2 points into Focused Mind if I had to Mind Sear alot.

3. What aspects of your talent spec do you believe contribute directly to raid performance?

Well I would say replenishment does, but Im sure there are others in the raid already that are keeping it up. Misery is the only other talent that helps others by increasing chance to hit on target by 3%.


4. Would you consider changing spec to be more useful in raids?

Yeah that wouldnt be a problem.


5. What glyphs are you currently using, and what're your reasons for choosing these?

Glyph of Shadow, Glyph of Mind Flay & Glyph of Dispertion.
GoS increases my spell power
GoMF buffs MF damage, which can make up to 30% of my dps depending on the fight
GoD this is really not as locked in as the others, I mostly slot it for the "oh shit" button that it can be. Every 45 seconds, its a sercurity glyph and besides the really isnt much of another option anyway.


6. Your gear profile - we're lazy, please link us to your Armory profile. Also, please make sure the gear shown on Armory is the gear you want us considering for your application - We're not interested in seeing your healer or tank's DPS gear, and vice versa.

7. List the stats you believe are core to your class and spec and why.

Spellpower, Haste, Crit & Spirit. atm I am about .70% below the spell hit cap as I swapped out for my 2pc T10, but its not a problem when raiding with dr sham


8. Resist sets - Please list any resistance sets you have, and unbuffed statistics for each.

None. Since I came back to WOW I havent seen any encounters that need it or I would.


9. What are your long-term gear aims and why?

4pc T10. Simply, it is a mad set bonus for dps. Looking at the EoFrost chest to go with it.


10. What're your professions, and do you have any recipies of note?

No recipies worth noting.
I have Tailoring for the cloack enchant, well I had 375 tailoring on this toon when I started again which played a part. Also have mining atm, but am looking at amassing the mats to swap for JC.


11. What are your main goals in WoW, in terms of PvE and PvP?

PvE, I just want to raid with people who know what they are doing and can get shit done. I enjoy the challenge of new encounters and the fact they drop phat epics.

PvP, I will eventually transfer my rogue as I enjoy the PvP much more on it. But for now I am more interested in raiding.



Your Game Experience and Guild History

12. What games do you play outside of WoW, or what have you played prior to WoW?

Im sure you dont want me to list every game I have ever played lol. But I have and still do own every console avaliable and play a range of games on them and PC ranging from sports, FPS, RPGs, arcade games.... basically any type of game I will play.

Have tried to play other MMOs but only seem to last a month or 2 before quitting them. The only one I got alot of time out of was WARhammer, the PvP was great while we were out numbered but after a while it got bad and people started trading objectives rather then fighting for them.


13. When did you begin playing WoW, and what got you into it?

It was around a month or so after launch, a few people I knew were going on about it and then got me around to show me raid type content and I was hooked with the scale of things compared to other games at the time.


14. Please list the guilds you've been in since you started playing, and be as complete as possible.

Since I started playing again at christmas I was in a friends guild, Twisted on Thurissian.

From vanilla wow I was just hanging out with friends before joining Tribe of the South Star on Maelstrom with a re-roll to a rogue. Cleared MC, BWL, Ony, ZG and AQ20. The whole guild transfered to Jubi thos and was renamed Novus Orsa, this was done to get more players in our time zone. AQ40 except C'thun, Naxx only Raz and Anub.

In wow just prior to BC and during BC was in a guild of friends really, TRF, most of us had played together for a while and we just did BGs until numbers got out of hand and we started raiding.


15. How did you come to leave these guilds, or if you're still in one, why do you wish to leave?

Well TSS/Novus Orsa, was a long drawn out process but eventually a core of more hardcore players got fed up with carrying bad players and got hooked big time on running organised BGS. Left to form our own small PvP guild.

TRF, well this guild is not so much a guild anymore and none of the main core has really left it. It is more like a collection of friends/players who still call in and hang out whenever or when a new game comes out that get us interested. Now that I type it out sounds like more of a social network.... weird.


16. What raid experience do you have? This includes Classic and BC raiding as well as what you've done in Wrath.

Classic wow raided on Rogue, MC, BWL, ZG, AQ20, AQ40 (except C'thun) & Naxx only Raz and Anub down.

BC on Rogue/Warlock, Kara, Grul, Mag and started SSC before quiting wow until christmas just gone.

WotLK on Priest,

ToC 10 clear. ToC 25 pugged (except Anub), ICC 10 6/7, ICC 25 4/4 pugged (not including last night), havent looked at new naxx or uldar at all.


17. ER utilizes a loot council system, not DKP. This means that ultimately gear will be rewarded to the players who would benefit most from it, or deserve it the most as defined by a group of officers and your peers. What do you say to that?

I dont worry too much about loot really, the only reason I have to worry about it is so I can do more dps and kill more stuff. It is a means to an ends. Also I suck at rolling, my dice are so bad.... so its either something like this or a DPK system.



Relating to ER

18. Why do you want to join ER?

Have heard good things about the way raids are run and the effort and skill that members have. All this means progression.


19. Do you know anyone in the guild that will vouch for you? If not, please list at least 3 external references.

Zyile is about it really, have known him for long time. Any other names I give are going to be nobodies to you guys but I can provide them if needed. oh yeah my mom says Im awesome!


20. What are your feelings about circles?

They are holes. Im a big fan of holes.


21. Are you applying to any other guilds at present?

Nah, I'll go back to PvP and pugging shit until I get bored.



About You

22. A/S/L?

31/M/Aussie (Melbourne)


23. What regular commitments do you have during your week?

Gym twice a week, but Im home by 7pm or I go on the weekend. Friday & Saturday nights can lead anywhere for me, but I usually find my way home by mid day on sundays.


24. Are you capped? Are you sure? Have you checked? Are you with TPG?

NO, YES, YEAH and FUK NO (I control the internet at my place if I think my flatmate is using to much bandwidth and my game is laggin I just rip his cord out and he can cry about it later)


25. If you answered 'no' to the TPG question in #24, who's your ISP, what's your connection, and how often do you get shaped/capped?

Internode, ADSL2. Have only been capped like twice in the last year. I simply purchase a data block and wait the 10 minutes if it happens.


26. What other things do you spend time doing for recreation other than WoW? What are your interests/hobbies/etc?

Going to the gym, drinking, playing golf, watching sport, chasing pussy and homebrewing.


27. Do you use Ventrilo or Teamspeak? If you do, do you use it just to listen or do you participate in conversation?

I brought a headset with a mic for a reason. I prefer to keep it in check during raids, but hang about and chat with people the rest of the time. And I have to get used to TS again......


28. Would you be interested in meeting your fellow guildies IRL?

If I find them interesting, I have met quite a few people over the years of gaming. Some form XBOX, some from raiding guilds. I like a drink and am quite social IRL, so


29. You walk into a bar, what do you order:
a) Beer
b) Wine
c) Spirits
d) Something non alchoholic

a, b & c. All in seperate glasses though. As long as I have a drink in my hand I'll get by.


30. Favourite song and movie at the moment?

Well the last thing I seen was Inglorious Barsterds, which was great except for fightin in a basement.

Music is alot harder, I have tunes on constanly, my fav song changes from week to week. Im gunna say something from Them Crooked Vultures or PJ Harvey..... umm actually lets go with, Treat my like your mother by The Dead Weather. It just came on the stereo

dam I just got the end of this and realised how much crap I typed... if you cbf'd reading I cant blame you

Hi Cuddlz

Hio,

Yea he did also play with Nich for abit. By that I mean they were in the same guild and Nich was crafting in Aion while alt tabbed raiding in Wow.

also trying logging in and and exit to windows and then logging out to char select, see if your armory will update, that ...should work.

Decent effort last night, get one of the officers to throw you an invite if they haven't already. Merathi might wander over here and review your gear etc if he gets his shit sorted with his machine ;p

OK thanks. And thanks for the invite last night too.

I have been on today but the server is as bad or worse then yesterday.... So think I will just watch a few vids an play some ME2 until later today and hope it gets sorted.


oh and hey Nich, didnt see much of you in AION but you probably heard me on vent :P

P.S. I have the name Cuddlz reserved but that is for my rogue when I do transfer him for some PvP.
