F. Anything else you would like to mention about your character to make it shine? * What can I say, my character is currently a shiny dead rotted fella, I plan to faction change it to either human female or dwarf male, I can't really make it shine more than it already does, don't want to blind you guys.

3) IN-GAME & PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

A. Playing times (Example: Sunday-Monday 17-24 [we raid 5 days a week 19.30-24]) * My current schedule is very "free-for-all", I have an extremely lot of free time and this won't change soon, basically I can raid at any hour in any day, even if it means 5 am in a saturday. I do usually go out on fridays/saturdays to get smashed with booze, but I can pass on that without doing any harm.

B. Previous Guild(s) * I've started my WoW career in early 2007, when tbc was just released, by playing a mage. After several small guilds, I joined the second best guild of my realm (Ahn'Qiraj EU), Double Helix, with which I managed to clear all content before the release of sunwell, and got my hands on two server firsts, Kalecgos and Brutallus. The guild went semi-softcore and that plus the fact that I had the college admission exams upcoming, I decided to take a break. I started playing again in march 2009, when I leveled this priest. I have raided non-stop ever since, at start with a friends guild called Insomnia that soon disbanded, then with Arctic Avengers that had the same end. Then I migrated from Karazhan to Ravencrest and raided with a guild called "On a Boat", who disbanded aswell during the summer. I returned to Karazhan and joined the newly created Flawless, who soon collapsed because of gm's 1 month absence. That's when I got accepted to Nightshift, at that time the best guild of the realm. I've been in Nightshift ever since, I have been an officer for over 3 months and healing advisor, I stepped out from these duties ~1 month ago when the drama, the bad management and the lack of attention received by officers from the gm had reached a limit. I currently intend to leave, because I much more prefer a healthy raiding environment, with less drama, less fails and more progress.

C. Reason for leaving previous Guild(s) * I think my "story" above kind of answered to this question aswell, sorry for the bad distribution of answers in this case.

D. Previous PVE-experience (Vanilla-TBC-WotLK) *
Vanilla - None
TBC - Cleared everything up to felmyst, including realm firsts on kalecgos and brutallus
WotLK - Cleared everything with most achievements, worth mentioning Glory of the Ulduar Raider 25 player, Firefighter and Freya hardmode realm firsts, Algalon 25 player realm first, Yogg+0 realm first (yes, I don't have the achievement, I have only missed the kill day because of being 10 minutes late, I know the tactics and the drill perfectly, wiped there like 700 times), A Tribute to Insanity, LK 10 player realm first. My current hardmode experience is 7/12 icc 25 (without festergut, sindragosa, professor, lady deathwhisper and lich king), and 9/12 icc 10 (without professor sindragosa and lich king).

E. Describe your role in raids, aswell as a possible extraordinary role on some encounters * My role is generally to keep people alive. I'm not a meter whore, I much rather believe that a life saved beats brainless spam of hots for hps (no offence druids). I can't really think of any extraordinary role, but there are some fights where you are tasked with specific targets, such as Anub hardmode (spam that penetrating cold mark, keep inspiration on tank), Saurfang hardmode (when im being tasked on healing a mark) or even Faction Champions hardmode (shield the raid, dispel dispel dispel)

F. Link us a WWS/WMO/DPS report to show your performance raidwise (If not you will most likely be rejected)* This is currently a problem which currently delayed my application, my guild isn't really keeping updated parses of our raids and I will have to do it myself for the upcoming monday/tuesday raid, and come back to post them.

G. Link us your former DKP Profile/Guild DKP system * No such thing, NS has a "loot council" policy.

H. We take PTR serious, do you have any issue being raid ready on PTR for raiding content? * Not at all, I enjoy playing new content more than anything.


4) COMPUTER AND INTERNET INFORMATION

A. Computer specifications * Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E8300 @ 2.83 ghz , 4 gb RAM , 1 gb asus videocard EAH4850.

B. Internet-connection * 100 mb fiberlink

C. Do you have issues with D/C due to internet/comp. problems? * Not really, but after all whose computer doesn't restart once in a while? I do however have no constant problems with my pc/internet that I could think of.

D. Do you have a microphone and are you able to communicate on ventrilo? Yes I do, I'm not shy either.

E. Screenshot of your in-game UI showing your keybinds(Link it (http://imageshack.us) * http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/8619/wowscrnshot012410213553.jpg (USE THE URL CODE)


5) SHOW US YOUR BEST, NOT SCRUB

A. Why do you want to join ScrubBusters? * Because I'm looking for competitive end-game raiding. Because as far as I've seen you guys take things seriously with a "let's have fun but do our jobs" attitude, I really liked that you constantly release movies proving you're dedicated and proud of your accomplishments, you seem like a well organised drama-free guild, a community of professional people in which I want to believe I could fit.

B. Why should we pick you? * Because I'm dedicated. I raid, I raid a lot, I love doing it. I very rarely miss a raid for an important RL problem, I'm always prepared, got my consumables ready, my face washed, my Nestea and chocolates and I'm always good to go for competitive raiding. I don't wait to be summoned, I'm not a raid logger, I'm sociable, friendly and talkative, I'm pretty sure I'm a "likeable" person.

C. What are you goals besides character development in World of Warcraft* I'm currently studying law school, my goals besides character developement aren't really career based atm, I prefer having fun with friends and enjoying my time out.

D. Is there anything you would like to add? I would want to thank you for the time taken to read this, It's probably done in haste and sucks, I can't really tell right now. I'll probably realise how bad this is after i post it -.-

E. Is there anyone in ScrubBusters who can possibly vouch for you? Unfortunately no.


6) CONFIRMATION
Take your time to look through your application before you submit.

A. Are you sure this is your final application? * Let's say almost final, I still need to come back and post some WoL logs.

B. Now end your application by telling us a joke * Ordinary people have panic attacks. Chuck Norris has Jack Bauer's attacks! (for the 24 fans :S )

Hello Omgdan,

I will jump onto your well written application as soon as possible.
You can expect our answer in 48h maximum after showing some performance logs, though I'll do my best processing it fast.

Halby

[omgdan]

Thank you for the fast reply, hopefully we get enough people for todays/tomorrow raid and I can get the logs going, I will report back tonight.

[Lorrainea]

Dan, can i ask 1 question about talent point
3/3 blessed resillience < 3/5 Empowered Healing ?

Dan, can i ask 1 question about talent point
3/3 blessed resillience < 3/5 Empowered Healing ?

At least from my point of view, 3% healing with all spells is better than 12% with flash heal

[Layla]

Hi, I wont make any comments on your spec and such cause I trust our healer squad to know alot more about it

I did however went to look at your armory out of curiousity and I dont know, for me somethings just were not adding up, your guild/raid history combined with the things you wrote here, it has made me curious.
So maybe you would like to clarify some stuff for me because I am one curious hunter!

Mhhh I had a whole list of questions here lol, but I dont want to come accros like some evil dective

The most interesting thing is that you also applied to Flawless, a guild you have been in before:
I returned to Karazhan and joined the newly created Flawless, who soon collapsed because of gm's 1 month absence. and you left them after 3 weeks.
When I checked out their site I can see you applied to them and got accepted, your accepted post got moved to declined however.
So out of curiousity, why did you apply to them and didnt join when you got accepted for a trail?

ps) you seem to have allot of positive and nice replies to your post there, so i dont feel bad posting positive feedback in this thread.

[omgdan]

I consider 3% with all heals more important and overall a greater boost of healing, because i mostly focus on raid healing with CoH, renew and Mending, I don't usually use flash a lot out of the surge of light proc. I haven't really managed to make a proper comparison so far, but I wouldn't mind changing my spec if I'm being proven wrong. I used to go with 3/5 emp healing aswell before, I fell this suits me better, and it feels like it ads a bit to the overall healing.

I left the Flawless part out of my story because I felt it already got a bit long and somehow dramatic, I can however explain what's it about.
It all started with Arctic Avengers. Infest was the guild master, along side with Sylow. Infest disappeared with half the gbank halfway through ulduar, and let the guilds on the hands of Sylow. Later on, during a hodir hardmode fail night raid break, Sylow promoted another guild master, and left the guild aswell, eventually to migrate to another realm. That's when AA collapsed and I went to ravencrest. 1 month later I returned to karazhan, where sylow and infest had returned already, and despite the previous act they did, I let myself convinced by friends to make a guild altogether, the guild that eventually became Flawless. It all started well, but about 1 month later, sylow went into a vacation he hasn't previously informed us about, letting infest sort of in control of the business. Infest never bothered to log during his absence, and after about 1 week of being unable to raid, I felt the AA story is repeating itself and decided to apply to NS. I have spent a good couple of time in ns, during which I have been the priest class leader and eventually the healing advisor (the rank given to the coordinator of the healers). After many arguments between officers, drama and "friendship based" management, which lead many old tbc members and many other good players to leave the guild, resulting in them being trashed by part of those who made them leave, I have decided to take the initiative and leave the guild. Many others did aswell, went to flawless, and concinced me to apply back there. I got accepted, but then there was a sort of a turn of situation, where 4 old ns members from flawless+another one that had previously left decided to return to ns, while one of them was given the co-gm rank. Once again, I followed, caught in this gynormous drama, and went back to nightshift, in the hope of a change. It has all turned out to be for nothing. Leadership hasnt changed attitude, some have quit the game, some have left again, all in all this entire drama made me realise that nothing would change, and that if I wouldn't leave the realm I'd get far too distressed by this entire sharade. That's when I applied here, currently without the knowledge of Nightshift's officers/members. I want to think of myself as being somehow professional, and in order to play at such level I have to leave friendships arguments and drama behind and get a fresh new start.
I left out this entire story because it can, and it probably will create me the image of a "troublemaker" or guild "jumper", this being the exact same reason for which I decided my future on karazhan wouldn't be a shiny one.
I'll let you draw the conclusions further, and I hope you understand why I decided not to share this entire worthy of a novel story.

Thanks,
Dan

offtopic: you should really consider a career as a detective -.-

[Layla]

Wall of text!

But I asked for it so np.

Well I personally know how the change of leadership can swiflty chance an entire guilds atmosphere and etc. etc.
Glad you took the time to explain it a bit.
Its also nice that you applied pubblicly (I didnt >.<) and that you take the time to reply.

Diffrent question; what has been the most fun bossfight in ICC25 so far and why? (healingwise that is)

[GTmoniq]

its time to DI DING layla )
