What are your primary roles during a raid?

Previously I've filled whatever role needed. I've tanked, done DPS and healing on many occasions. I've also lead raids at end-game 60 and end-game 70.

Can you tell us about your previous raiding experiences?

Complete clear of classic level 60 raids with Martyrdom, almost full clear of TBC with Conscience; didn't finish the Black Temple or Mount Hyjal.

Since I've been back and playing in Northrend these past few weeks. I've done Naxx, EoE, ToC10 and ICC up until Lady Deathwhisper with PuG's.

Can you raid during our raid times? 19:00 to 23:00 on all days, except saturday.

Yes.

How many raids a week are you willing to participate in and can you commit to those raids a couple of days upfront?

All, if needed.

What (difficult) achievements do you have that you consider relevant to the application? Why?

500 Raid Emblems?

What kind of computer hardware do you use? How many FPS are you getting in Dalaran and (raid) instances?

This monster runs Crysis smooth as a babies bum on max graphics, for an idea of how well it runs World of Warcraft.

90FPS in Dalaran.

Do you ever have latency problems?

No.

Please read our software requirements. Can you install and use the required AddOns on your computer?

Yes.

Are you using any other addons?

No.

Please add a screenshot of your UI here, ideally in a raiding environment.

Sounds odd, but I don't have a screenshot button on this keyboard..

RP

It's important for us to make sure that our members will not violate any RP server rules, also means you cannot speak OOC (out of character) in RP chat channels, which are /s /y /e. Will you adhere to server policy?

Absolutely.

Can you briefly tell us about your characters personality?

Nimiel was around during the War of the Ancients, making her at least 10,000 years old. She was once a Hunter, and now a Druid. Nimiel has seventeen sisters that are all within the Emerald Dream, and her favorite colour is purple.

She's also been known to have skitsophenic episodes.

GENERAL

When did you start playing WoW?

Release day.

What areas do you think you could improve in and why?

Money keeping, because I spend too much.

PvE, PvP and RP? Which aspect(s) of the game you like better in which descending order and why?

I can't decide between RP and PvE, but PvP isn't up there. I love raiding and seeing the lore first hand, but I also love to sit around and chat.

I don't mind PvP. I have a PvP set, but only to do my bit for Wintergrasp every once in a while. I'm not part of an arena team.

How often (roughly) do you play WoW? (hours/day)

At the moment about 12 hours a day, but when I'm in work, perhaps 4-5 during the week and 12 again each day of the weekend.

Do you share your account with anybody?

No.

What are your previous guilds on this server and reasons for leaving them?

Martyrdom, they left the server.
Conscience, disbanded.
Vaatyrium (current), a guild of my personal friends.

How do you find gnomes? a) cute, b) evil or c) tasty

All three.

Are you aware that if accepted, your guild master will be a gnome? And no, the previous question has no relevance with this one!

I wasn't, but I am now.

Why do you want to join the Echoes of Lordaeron?

To raid more often and with people I can trust.

Why do you think we should choose you?

Because I'm active and I do my job(s).

Who can we contact for reference*?

Myrrden.

Thank you for applying and good luck. Anything else you would like to add?

I have a level 1 Gnome Mage.

Hi there! I'll just look at your application super fast before recruit officer and Druid class rep wake up.

I assume you logged in moonkin gear. I'm no moonkin expert but straight off I can see a few odd gems such as int/spell&stam/+stats. Mysti will talk more about that in detail with glyphs and spec. <3

Well, as you haven't logged out in Resto gear I'll just quickly peek at spec/glyphs.

Glyphs:
Could do with replacing Rejuv with [Glyph of Rapid Rejuvenation] and replacing Regrowth with [Glyph of Wild Growth] as overall will give you a better output in raid healing.

Spec:
Generally alright. 3/3 Subletly can go to 2/3 to free a point. Best to put 1 in Tranquil Spirit. Bit nitpicking really, but every little helps.

Good luck on your application.

[Nimiel]

Hello! Thanks for the feed-back so far. I just wanted to point out that my Glyphs are in place for my constant instance crawls, seeing as I'm not able to raid constantly at the moment, due to not having a raiding guild. That can all be changed effortlessly however with one simple visit to the Auction House.

My gems haven't been updated yet, the Stamina one is gone. The only reason I place the intellect ones in over SP is for overall SP with the item bonus included; otherwise I have SP all the way.

Thanks for the swift reply though Vieane, and the insight on the Restoration spec.

Yes, I was there. Shame non of these achievements are registered. Deadmines wasn't even on my list..

It's also a shame that Naxxramas is now easy-mode.

indeed, only managed to sapphiron myself before we got blocked by frost resist gear since the other guild on the server hoovered up all the frozen runes

[Nimiel]

Don't like to derail my own application thread, but which guild were you with?

[Ellee!]

not this server im new here!

[Nimiel]

Oh! Welcome! Hehe. I myself was on Earthen Ring before Scarshield Legion. Scarshield wasn't a starting realm.

[Ellee!]

hehe thx :P anyways gl on ur app.

And from someone who was there anyone who could put up with naxx gets my vote, i still have nightmares about loatheb.

[Illuvatar / Myrrden]

I've known this guy for a long time - he's an old school player like me (except, more oldschool with the vanilla WoW raiding side of things). Not only is the guy a pleasure to know, but he is very very capable. He has only been back playing for a few weeks, and so is still adapting to the way the game mechanics have changed, but he is already pulling great deeps, and heals very well too.

Absolute 100% vouch without question. Best of luck with your application mate.

[Nimiel]

Loatheb was a healers nightmare, fortunately I was a tank back then.

[Nimiel]

Heh, thanks Myrrden. I used to raid with Myrrden and Protest back in Conscience. There maybe more of you about in the shadows that I partied with?

[Nimiel]

UPDATE

Seeing as while you're reading this the armory probably hasn't updated yet. I'm informing you of the changes I've made here to accomodate raiding.

Changed both Glyph of Rejuvenation & Regrowth for Rapid Rejuvenation & Wild Growth.

Changed the 2 +20 Intellect Gems for +12 SP, +10 Haste Gems.

Meta Gem changed to +21 Crit Rating 3% Crit Damage.

Change to Talents:

Moonglow -1, Improved Moonfire -2, Typhoon +1, Genesis +2

Other:

I would also like to mention that I am fully aware of my shoulder enchant not being the best it can be. My Sons of Hodir reputation isn't high enough, and not because I'm lazy, couldn't be bothered or didn't think it was worth it, but because I told a good friend I would save the Storm Peaks, so we could quest there together.

I'll have the rep up with them over this weekend.
