[Oveliah]

Section 1 - Character Information
----------------------------------

Name: Oveliah
Class: Paladin
Armory Profile: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/deathwing/tolone/simple
Main Spec: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/deathwing/tolone/talent/primary

1. Reason(s) for leaving current guild:

I joined Nerd Alert over 2 years ago to play with real life friends, but lately they don't act like friends. So, if I'm going to raid with people that act like they don't know me, I'd at least like to progress and have fun doing so. The current guild thrives on insulting other players. The officers are quick to point out the mistakes of others and quick to ignore the mistakes they themselves make.

2. Why do you want to join TFB:

My friend Kittikat told me you guys were looking for healers, and I'd love to meet some new people, see some new content.

3. Are you easily offended by racist, sexist, or other such humor?:

Nah

4. Do you have any friends within TFB? Any enemies?:

Kittikat- worst enemy hehe

5. Do you have Ventrilo?:

Yes

6. Do you have a Mic?:

Yes

7. Do you play on a faggy ass Mac?:

No

8. What is your internet connection type?:

Cable

9. How reliable is your internet connection on a scale of 1 to 5?:

5

10. Do you have any alts worth mentioning?:

I'll be transferring from another realm - all my alts will stay there - a bit too costly to transfer them all. So, I guess they don't really matter :) Although if a resto sham is needed instead of the holy pally, I could transfer her - but she is far less geared.



Achievements:

How many achievement points do you have?: 5435
What achievement are you the most proud of and why?: 10m ICC drake achievement - back when my best friends and i all played together- we were one of the first on the realm to get them. My same group got the 10m ToGC no deaths achievement- Tribute to Insanity I think it's called



Our Raid Schedule:

Wednesday: 7:00 - 11:00+

(10Mans are Optional and schedule around these 2 dates)

What is the absolute Latest you can raid until, we often will go 30min to 1hr later than scheduled depending on progress and content left? 12pm

Monday: 7 - 1am
Tuesday: 830 - 12pm
Wednesday: 7 - 12pm
Thursday: 7 - 12pm
Friday: I'd prefer not to, but can if there's a special event

Section 3a: Misc.
---------------------

1. If the raid leader was to wrongfully chew you out in the middle of a raid, how would you react? (be honest and explain!)

I probably wouldn't say anything. If I did, I'd say it in raid chat, I'm not one for arguing over vent.

2. If you were asked to sit out for a raid that you signed up for well in advance, how would you react? (be honest and explain!)

I wouldn't mind, a night off is always nice :) -but knowing ahead of time would be infinitely better >.>



Section 3b: Misc.
---------------------

1. If you were in charge of TFB, what would you make the guild ranks called (Leader, Officers, Raiders, Casuals)?

Blue Barracudas, Silver Snakes, Green Monkeys, Purple Parrots

2. What two web sites do you visit the most for WoW information?

wowmeteronline.com, worldoflogs.com I like to compare myself to others - I learn best this way

3. If you lost both your hands in an accident and the doctors said, 'Well, we can leave them as stumps or we could attach the hands of a monkey', what would you do?

Monkey hands!

4. Your best friend of the opposite sex is dying of a degenerative bone disease. One day he/she tells you it's their dying wish to have sex with you. You agree but after a few minutes he/she coughs, sputters and dies. Do you finish?

No.. I probably wouldn't agree to it to begin with lol

5. Why are you actively searching a new guild? What expectations do you have?

I'm not really actively searching. I cancelled my account a couple weeks ago after a long string of disappointing raids (see why I'm leaving current guild above). - That's also why I'm logged off in pvp pants and gloves (I have epic gloves and pants in my raiding set) :( I've inquired a few times about joining TFB, but you're usually not looking for any more. I would be completely content continuing to not play WoW, but I figure it might be fun to meet some new people.

6. How long have you been playing WoW and how many guilds have you been a member of?

I've been playing WoW since 2005. I've been a part of 5 raiding guilds throughout the years.

7. What is your longest tenure in any one guild?

Greater Than 1 Year

7b. Was this a raiding guild?

Yes

8. How active do you plan on being on the forums during and after your recruitment period?

2 - 3 times a week

9. Do you have any suggestions for questions that can be added to this section (bonus points given for non WoW related questions)?

The forum post was looking for 10k+ healers, wanted to include a couple logs

Ok, Strike one, you're a friend of Kittikat.

Strike two, your one profession isn't maxed. Not that big a deal considering its a health buff for a healer, but considering MANY fights up to this point have shown that bonus HP is a boost, it'd be in your best interest to cap that out ASAP.

Strike three, Kittikat DID tell you what kind of players we are? You are leaving your current guild because the officers are assholes and are quick to point out the mistakes of others. Sounds like our current raid leader.. ME! I don't raid lead with candy canes, puppies, and rainbows. I am quick to shout at someone for causing us a wipe, but I do try and give the occasional pat on the back on improved play. Message to take home: If you're bad, you're not going to like it here. If you're good, you've got nothing to worry about, but you must know going into this that I WILL berate other players if they hold us back until they get the message to improve, or take it upon themselves to stop showing up.

Now, in a normal game of baseball, you'd be out. Lucky for you (and maybe lucky for me if you are as good as those logs indicate), I'd be a freaking retard to deny you simply because your friend is Kittikat (Right?). I can tell you we definitely need a good healer right now, and that if you transfer over I will give you your fair trial, but as all transfers are warned, if you don't pan out by being as good as we need, or you are incredibly unreliable (we expect you on just about EVERY SINGLE RAID. We raid 2 nights a week, we don't ask for much) you will be denied, and invited to stay in the guild if you so choose, but you will not raid unless we are desperate.

Over to you sir. I encourage you to reply and alleviate my anxiety on seeing your missing filled profession, your relation to Kitti, and your answer to #1.

Good luck!

[Novacurse]

Pretty good app overall. I do have a couple of concerns. While you are a bit undergeared, that probably is not a problem in the long run.

However, the problems I have is that you are neutral with the rep you need for your head enchant. Clearly you got it on another character, but I want to make sure you will be able to get it if you upgrade. I would also like to see you get your Therazane rep up for the better shoulder enchant.

I honestly did not know WoW Meters online was still around haha

[Oveliah]

Ok, Strike one, you're a friend of Kittikat.
:( I didn't know you didn't like him- I DID say he was my biggest enemy....... o.o Anyway, he won't let me hang out with him and his friends. I think he's embarrassed of me or something. I only live 15 minutes away :(


Strike two, your one profession isn't maxed. Not that big a deal considering its a health buff for a healer, but considering MANY fights up to this point have shown that bonus HP is a boost, it'd be in your best interest to cap that out ASAP.
Yea, I chose a horrible matchup of professions. Since I have so many high levels on my realm, I have all the professions. I've been leveling them all together instead of one at a time. Probably a bad idea, haha. I chose to level JC ahead of BS. Regardless, it will take time with an alt to level - so if I transfer now, I won't be able to level it without leveling an alt with mining. If I stay to level it, I'll have to miss tomorrow (if you were even planning on having me anyway). Either way is cool with me.

It's fine if yelling is warranted - but it gets to me if the insults are personal, unrelated to the raid and have no value to the raid. Our raid leaders often choose "You're all idiots" over "We need to do such and such to improve." And they typically only point out mistakes made by people they don't like. They never admit their own mistakes. It's just a very negative environment. If that's all there is in the world of WoW, then I probably don't need to play, haha. Is raiding with you as bad as this? I somehow doubt you'd have the progression you do raiding two days a week if everyone hates each other.

Over to you ma'am. I encourage you to reply and alleviate my anxiety on seeing your missing filled profession, your relation to Kitti, and your answer to #1.

I am very reliable- save for family emergencies, I'm usually always there. I had 100% raid attendance in Cata up until I cancelled my account, above 90% in ICC content. Mondays and Wednesdays are pretty relaxed days anyway, I get off at 5 - work out until whenever then I'm free the rest of the night. Raiding won't be competing with anything for my time.

Yes - I know the rep is a problem. I'm going to drop my pvp holy spec and get back to grinding Therazane rep. And yes - the faction with the head enchant is on another character. I can just buy several of those enchants before I transfer to hold me over until I get the rep I need- I was under the impression that these were changing to not require the rep, seems pointless that they're BoA yet still require the rep you would need to buy them in the first place. That's why I didn't worry about grinding the rep to begin with, but I have no qualms with taking care of that.

[kittikat]

Ok, Strike one, you're a friend of Kittikat.HEYYY!!! I brought NOVA into this guild, and he's one of your most reliable raiders, so don't gimme that, JERK!!

...on the same note, mfl and cephira and johngault also came here due to me...damnit!

I'm going to go cut myself in the corner now.






And I'm getting better at SC2 damnit!!

(plus I always kick your ass in fps games, no matter what spec I play. stop being so jealous)

What FPS game have we played against each other?

[Astraeus]

I somehow doubt you'd have the progression you do raiding two days a week if everyone hates each other.

Ok, I know about this and generally that's not what happens. I have been known to call someone derpy when they do something appropriate (say, right clicking the boss while we get into position, instantly killing himself and all of us), but for whatever reason people have been taking my abuse for almost 5 years, meaning it can't be that bad.

You've mentioned you can't make this Wednesday's raid due to the time it takes to transfer so we will likely see how you do next Wednesday, so be around for that. See you then!

[kittikat]

What FPS game have we played against each other?Not against each other. BC2, I've always taken in more kills, less deaths, and more points, any spec. You've even seen my game-ending screenshots, And those were for medic and sniper. :p

[kittikat]

You've mentioned you can't make this Wednesday's raid due to the time it takes to transfer so we will likely see how you do next Wednesday, so be around for that. See you then!er, was this in game or something? cause I didn't see that mentioned.
Server Transfers take this long now?
Last time I did it (about 2-3 months ago) server transfers took about 10-20 minutes from clicking "Accept" on the website. Sometimes even less.
Tolone, you might be able to make tonight's raid if you can log onto wow.com at work today and transfer them quick enough.

[Hellmourn]

he said he cant if he works on his professions/reps you baddie

[kittikat]

he said he cant if he works on his professions/reps you baddieI saw two totally different points here.
Tolone was talking about missing the raid if Ast wanted the BS maxxed.
Ast mentioned a week off due to the time it takes to transfer.
I took that to mean he thought the transfer time itself was a week long, the way it was worded.

[Hellmourn]

Here you people go again listening to what Ast says... :D

[Oveliah]

Ast mentioned a week off due to the time it takes to transfer.
I took that to mean he thought the transfer time itself was a week long, the way it was worded.

hahahaha
Yea, transfer takes like 20 minutes. I'm assuming he's implying he wants my BS maxed. I'll enable my account and get to it.

[Oveliah]

I could make such a mean joke right now... But I shall refrain.



Also, if Kitti is embarassed to hang out with you, do you like... Listen to the Biebz all day?

I have no idea why he won't hang out with me. I think he's just lazy. He'll hang out if I go to his house, or I offer free food and beer. Hmmmmmmmmm

[Eagleclaw]

Well yeah, Kitti is a welfare whore. Anything given to him for free is fine by him

Also, Kitti, play some FPSes where the hit boxes actually work ;)

[Astraeus]

I don't want to try 2 healers at the same time. That's just a recipe for a bad farm night. Metabolism apped first so we'll give him a shot tonight. Your trial run will be the upcoming Wed so you can work on your profession and reps at leisure until (3/2). See you then :)

Edit: If you do get transferred by tonight, be on 6:30-7:15 JIC Metabolism doesn't show up or someone else doesn't show up. He wouldn't be the first applicant to just vanish on his trial night.

Sure, that sounds great! I've already activated my account and am farming ore. I will transfer this weekend or early next week. Thanks so much for choosing to give me a shot. :)

[Novacurse]

You may also want to hop on our vent server during the raid, see how things usually go, decide if this is the place for you

[Oveliah]

Sounds like a great idea, I'll pop in for a little while at least.

[Stallions]

Besides still having a 333 wep, ja it looks good.

[Oveliah]

Besides still having a 333 wep, ja it looks good.

I'm very close to getting the PvP mace, I'll try to get it this week before I transfer as well.

[Astraeus]

Well you got to hear our atmosphere last night, which was a pretty good representation of what we are like on our more relaxed nights. Admittedly things are a little more tense on the learning nights, but not too much (I think anyway, the one making it tense is usually ME!)

[Eynon]

You would actually be replacing me, so I have a few questions for you. My main concern is looking how you gem and gear. A few things that I would really do differently. Compare yourself to my armory: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/burning-blade/rubble/simple

I have 1 blue gem in my helm. I would never do this, but with the helm socket bonus of +30 int, putting a +20 int +20 spirit gem made more sense than putting a brilliant gem in there. Other than that, I only used 2 yellows for the meta.

The socket bonuses that you went for didn't really make much sense unless they were the 2 yellow ones for your meta. I'd keep my yellow ones in your waste. I'd change....

Helm gem to brilliant
Reforge your neck
Reforge your shoulders
Put +50 int on your back and reforge it
Red instead of a blue gem in your chest
Reforge your weapon
Reforge your shield
Reforge your relic
Red gem in your gloves
Change to a red gem in your pants
Put a red gem in your feet and reforge them
Reforge both your rings

Int is the most valuable stat you can have. +10 spirit isn't going to save the fight. If you reforge the crit to haste you should still have enough haste to get the extra tick of HR.

Viewing your logs, i'm assuming you were healing a tank. But why would you not use light of dawn on halfus when there is a ton of AoE damage going on? You can heal 5-6 targets for a decent amount while your beaconed tank gets a decent heal. If you are assigned to a tank, and the raid healers are having trouble, would you heal the raid while keeping the tank up, or would you say, not my responsibility?

The gemming I had taken the advice of someone else about - I was having mana issues so I went with spirit gems where I could. The rest I just filled with the correct color to get the socket bonuses, but yea, you're right. Most of those socket bonuses suck. I'll work on replacing them. The reforging - ahhh, I don't really have a good excuse. Looks like I just fell off the reforging bandwagon altogether. It's fixed now though. That should help a lot, rofl, thanks :(

The LoD- I really don't like this spell. It infuriates me that they would make a directional healing spell. I was offended when we got that spell. Regardless, I checked older logs and I had been using it previously on this boss. My guess is that tank dmg was high and needed more attention than the 5 - 6 people in front of me, so I used Word of Glory instead. I tend to use HR in situations of burst aoe, and I end up using holy shock a lot to spot heal the raid - unless there is a situation where the raid (or part) is standing together so I can easily aim LoD to actually hit something... like Atremedes (p1) or twins (p1, p2). From what I remember, our raid isn't very clumped during Halfus. I honestly think there are other classes far better suited to aoe heal than holy pallies. I throw out aoe when I can, but if I'm assigned to tanks, I make sure they are topped (all of them) before worrying about the rest of the raid. If a tank dies because the assigned healer was healing DPS instead- fail. I wouldn't say the rest of the raid isn't my responsibility, but it's not my highest priority if I'm assigned to a tank. If I have the mana and the time, I'll throw some heals off, otherwise - whoever was assigned to heal those people needs to pick it up.
In other words - you'll never see me just standing there doing nothing if the tanks are topped off and even 1 person is taking dmg unless I'm regenning mana or dead.

Question for you that I've been wondering about - are you more apt to use FoL or HL? I've been using HL primarily and not really using FoL at all, but I see other holy pallies using FoL and HL somewhat equally if not more and somehow not expending more mana than I am. So far they haven't outhealed me.. but that may just be user error. Is there an advantage to using FoL (other than speed) interspersed in a HL / HS / WoG rotation? Tower of Radiance only gives FoL a charge of holy power if used on the target of your beacon if they're using it for building holy power... but looking through the charts here, it's not specifically being used on the target of their beacon. So.. I'm not sure what the attraction is.. other than speed. Or is that it?

Also, why are you leaving? And thanks again for the help.

Understandable and you took the initiative to reforge yourself. Always good to see.

Again, fair enough. Pallys in our guild are on tanks 90%+ of the time. I usually find fights work in a weird way that HR is off of CD right when it needs to be. Like Maloriak (or however you spell it), Nef, Halfus etc.... But I love me some LoD. What i'll do is put my beacon on the tank i'm assigned to. I'm going to tie in your last question here also.....but I'll have 3 charges of holy power and i'll use LoD on the melee which is uaually clumped up. I have it glyphed so with the 6 targets getting hit, even if it doesn't go on the tank, 50% of that will usually be a decent heal depending on crits. Generally helps the raid healing overall while healing your tank. On some fights i'll do it on ranged depending on who is standing where.

As for FoL, I think I might use that once a raid night. It drys me out sooooooooooo fast its not worth using unless Lay of Hands is on CD and its a do or die situation. I find that I use DL more than HL. I'll cast it 90% of my beacon which in turn gives holy power and I'll case LoD. If its to a point where LoD isn't needed, then i'll WoG on the tank. Not saying using HL over DL is wrong by any means, I guess its just in your play style. Either is fine in my opinion so much as who your healing doesn't die, and your keeping up with other healers on healing meters. Thats what is most important.

As for healing raid when not assigned to you, obviously don't let your target die. I (and I think Stallions does also) usually find time where our tanks are mitigating enough damage where i'll be able to throw some heals on the raid to help out. This comes in BIG for heroic Halfus.

I'm quitting raiding due to RL issues where I just can't commit to it. You seem to know what your doing. Good luck in the app process.

[yovalord]

HEYYY!!! I brought NOVA into this guild, and he's one of your most reliable raiders, so don't gimme that, JERK!!


assuming we end at 11!

[kittikat]

assuming we end at 11!OH SNAP!! That's right, he turns into a Great Pumpkin at 11:01

[Astraeus]

Is there any way you can transfer and be ready by Monday night? I don't know what's going on with our healer application, but he was joining with a friend that was also applying and he recently quit. I've asked in his application if it's going to impact his stay here but I've yet to receive a response after 2 days. I don't know for sure if he will be here on Monday and we need a 7th healer.

[Oveliah]

Yes, I can be there. I've just finished my blacksmithing, got my 1H weap and a few other upgrades. Whatever rep I still need, I can do without my alts. I might even transfer tonight for shits and giggles.

[Oveliah]

Well -Tolone was taken. I've renamed her to Oveliah. I guess I'll remake the forum account if you end up accepting me.

[Novacurse]

I can rename it now.

[Oveliah]

Yay!! Thanks haha

[Novacurse]

Seems like you did a pretty good job last night while seeing some rough fights for the first time. Keep it up

[Astraeus]

It's hard to judge anything too thoroughly. While you did do a great job keeping up the double attack tank, it's not exactly the most vigorous of roles. That said, I compared your HP/S to our other paladins during the feud stages and you were relatively even to one of our more geared paladins and that's not that easy to pull off.

This coming Wednesday we are going to do the first 2 bosses in BWD and immediately go straight to Heroic Chim again. In all likelihood you will sit for no other reason than having 3 paladins on an AoE intensive fight is probably not the most optimal. That said, when we bring you back in on either Monday or the following Wednesday, and if you continue to outperform some of our healers, you will be see more raids more often.

Oh, as always, please be around 6:45-7:15 just in case we have a no-show or two.

Thank you for the kind words. I had a lot of fun even though we were wiping :) Again, thanks for taking me last night; I will make sure I'm there for raids in case I'm needed. In the meantime, I will keep working on gear improvements from JP / VP / rep.

Copy pasting from Metabolism's application since it basically applies to both of you equally.


Although I haven't been around, I've been keeping track of the WoL. Both you and Oveliah were present for our two latest boss kills (Heroic Chim, Al'Akir). That alone speaks volumes about the two of you and in all likelihood we are going to move both of your applications to the accepted category after one or two more raids, tops. I need to review you and Oveliah's relative gear level to our healers to determine if the slightly lower HP/S and Healing done is gear/experience related or if what you two are putting out now is the best we can expect. We always try and keep recruitment open at least a little bit to let in exceptional players, and while you impressed me on Chimaeron with your minimal group deaths, and Oveliah impresses me the tasks I assign her as well, the two of your healing done and HP/S are noticably lower than that of, say, Stallions or Adelka/Demyx.

It probably is nothing more than a gear difference or level of experience difference, and while we will probably accept the both of you very soon, we expect the healing meters to be at least a little more competitive as the gear and experience gaps begin to close.
