:: Your Character/Alts ::

Link your armory:
http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/a ... y/advanced
Your choice of talents and glyphs:
Desperate Prayer – emergency self heal, i prefer it over Angelic Bulwark because i have got more controll with this spell
Body and Soul – best tool to help move faster not only to myself but also others when they need it most (usually out of danger)
Power Word: Solace – i use Holy Fire / Solace on cooldown to build Evangelism stacks this talent makes it not only mana free but also gives mana back, in dungeon environment i usually use Mindbender since i need more flexibility in my spells choices (usually someone is in need of emergency healing and solo healing doesn’t provide me with other healers support)
Power Infusion – better choice for current content than Spirit Shell and Twist of Fate
Cascade / Halo - depends of group size and encounter, usually cascade in raid
Clarity of Will / Words of Mending – depends of encounter, raid size and role
Glyph of Penance - to allow me to use my best single target healing spell in my arsenal to be used when most needed (during movement)
Glyph of Weekened Soul
Glyph of Holy Fire - allows me to stay in full range and still build evangelism stacks / heal with atorment

:: Additional Information ::

Your previous guilds (and why you left):
Classic:
Desert Clan (Khadgar) – merged with Bloodsworn Sindicate
Bloodsworn Sindicate (Khadgar) – i left because i wanted switch main to priest (i was playing shaman) and i wanted to try hardcore raiding (BS was semi-hardcore guild)
Godless (Lightbringer) – i left at the beginning of tbc expansion, i wasn't able to maintain 7/week raiding anymore (i was switching apartments at that time that included 1-month offline period, friends (Gordian and Druklak convinced me to create Myst with them)
TBC:
Myst – guild merged with Immortal
Immortal – i took 3 months break from wow
Eminence – Immortal haven't survived Karazhan → Maghterion's Lair transition, a lot of players were playing in Eminence at that time, i left during patch with ToC content (after high roster rotation almost all players i knew left guild and server, i decided to follow Druklak again and transferred to Arathor)
Woltk:
Conviction – i'm still in Conviction playing with causal rank, i stopped raiding at the end of SoO when less healers was needed for encounters and 1 day / week playing and 3 days sitting outside instance wasn't able to sustain my interest in game.

Your previous raid experience:
Classic:
Shaman: Ony, MC, BWL (except Nefarian), ZG
Priest: Ony, MC, BWL, ZG, AQ20, AQ40 (4 bosses)
TBC:
Priest: Kar, Mag, Gruul, SSC, TK, MH, BT, Sunwell
Woltk:
Priest: Os (with 3 drakes), Nax, EoE, Uld, Ony, ToC (Anub'arak HM on 10 man), ICC (6/7 on HM), RS
Cata:
Priest: BD 6/6 (5/6 HM), BoT 5/5 (4/5 HM), TFW 2/2 (1 / 2 HM), FL 7/7 (6/7 HM), DS 8/8 (8/8 HM)
Paladin: BD 6/6 HM, BoT 4/5 HM, TFW 2/2 HM, FL 7/7 HM, DS 8/8 HM
Pandaria:
Priest: ToT 12/12, other instances on LFR
Paladin: MV 6/6 HM, HoF 6/6 (4/6 HM), TeS 4/4 HM, ToT 13/13 HM, SoO 14/14 (11/14 HM)

I switched my main from shaman to priest during classic and from priest to paladin at the end of Cataclysm. I was healing during most guilds first kills with some exceptions when i was playing as dps (mostly during Cata when Conviction had dps attendance problems). I was also raiding with my druid (healing and dps), second priest (as dps to gather expirience when i was running with disc/holy spec combo on main), DK (dps) and mage during alt/unofficial raids.

How our guild can benefit from you?
I can guarantee almost 100% attendance, i'm always prepared for raids and i like research new fights, work on guild first kills (wipe night will never bore me).

Would you be willing to modify or change your spec to assist the guild?
Yes, everything to improve raid performance, i'm used to switch to different role or spec during progress fights.

:: Bit more about you ::

Can you talk and listen on TS?
Yes

Are you able to attend all days we are raiding (Wed/Thu/Mon)?
Yes

What is your attitude towards progress/what motivate you in WoW?
Raiding and progress fights is something i enjoy most in WoW, i do not care much about achievements, pets, mounts, etc

Do you play outside raids or log only for them?
I enjoy raiding most, also learning other classes so i usually try to raid on 1-2 alts.

Why you want to join us?
I'm back after 1 year break from wow and i miss raiding (being boosted in normal raid is not for me). Since there are 8-9 raiding healers in Conviction there is no place there for another healer (same situation with dps spots), my first choice is CoY since i know some players here (former Myst members: Druklak, Gordian, Tuwa) and guild raid times and strong attitude towards progress suits me.

:: Additional Comments / Questions ::
I applied as discipline priest but i can also play in holy spec if guild healers roster can benefit from holy priest more.

Hi there,

sinds you came back after a break, and are catching up, have you already done some research for raiding mythic difficulty as which spec is best best for what boss (holy or dics) and could you also enlighten that choice, if done so?

Thanks,

/Xarth

How the hell can you remember vanilla/TBC progress so precisely?
And thanks for mentioning Eminence, if you didnt, I would probably never recall that name again, which would be pity, it was a good place to be.

Also Im glad you applied, so we are all rejoined. 7 years later than originaly anticipated, but what the heck, better late than never. :)

[Tuwa]

Time for Grodian to remember that he ain't that shit and that blackfuse was a merely setback.
And Druk to wake up from his chamber as well :)

Yes, i have read about mythic difficulty fights. About spec question, its tricky one since a lot depends of strategy and healers composition. As rule i'd take always holy spec if there is already disc priest in raid with some rare exception, where shielding whole raid or big part of it makes things a lot easier, i can't see such fight in current content (i might be wrong tho), and disc when there is no disc in raid. Good examples of 2-disc fights are heroic Lich King (i was healing it as disc with Liina), Grand Empress (from HoF, i was playing paladin during this fight tho), Chimareon (for barrier). If there is no disc in raid i'd choose disc simply because disc brings unique utility preventing damage that makes healing for other healers easier and all errors more forgiving, mechanics easier to survive for example from current content: shielding players who intercepts Night-Twisted Cadavers during Butcher fight, players who took Blaze dot during Twin Ogron fight, i would consider taking holy spec on encounter with either unpredictable damage to raid memebers (damage not dot related), or high sustained damage to raid without predictable periods of increased damage and important boss abilities that leaves dot on player to take damage, can't see such fight after research i made in current content, but after some boss tries and raid knowing how other healers heals i might change my mind.
