Hello people, here is what my application would look like if I would apply to the best guild on Deathwing (EU), Anvil of Crom.
Let's begin shall we? :)

[u][b]Personal information[/b][/u]
My irl name is XXX and I am currently 17 years old and I live in Sweden, there is no time changes from GMT.
I've finished first grade out of three in school, and I currently work one day a week in a fish store (lol) located as south in Sweden as you can get. I am planning to study to either become some sort of accountant or police, time will tell.


[u][b]Character information[/b][/u]
I play my cudly shaman named Kozya and I am speced enhancement:
8/53/0 - Not respecing to anything while stil 70 because it is the right spec. I have speced 2/2 in Earthen Power for the removement of slowing effects for Kil'jaeden.
Got good gear for healing, around 1.3 k spell power, 207 Mp/5 and 207 haste. Elemental gear I have nearly none ;p
I've levelled Leatherworking for Drums of Battle and Enchanting for Enchant Ring: Stats, and this only just to improve my own dps!

This armory link might showing different gear but in PvE gear I currenctly have 2245 AP, 127 hitrating, 112 Expertise rating (28,) and ~ 34 % crit - unbuffed.
WWS Reports: You've seen them, you know them, I'm pro.
Always been on Deathwing with this character.
My current guild is Anvil of Crom, before that I was in Horizons, though I left them in Patch 2.4 for various reasons - one of them to be able to see Black Temple, Mount Hyjal and beyond!
It has had its ups and downs but right now, I wouldn't trade Anvil of Crom for anything.
My played time is ~ 65 days over all. ~ 57 days at 70.
I made this character in January this year, hence the low /played.

[u][b]Raiding information[/b][/u]
I am available for raiding almost every day. On Sundays I work every now and then from 12-16 and sometimes I might have to study but otherwise I am available!
[i]Raiding accomplishments[/i]
I have raided more or less everything that can be raided, either 'back in the days' or now.
Pre TBC: Everything cleared, from ZG to Naxxramas.
TBC: From Attunmen the Huntsman to Kil'jaeden!

I would describe myself when I raid with three words:
Persistent, Dedicated, Conqueror

If I would be able to improve something about my raiding, it is that I have to leave my home! Being forced to go afk 10 minutes mid raid ain't something I favor myself, to be honest - I hate it, so to sum it up, I still live at home = a small afk is needed für dinner.. Now you might think, oh no not yet another kid!! But hey, life is life and not really much I can do about it at the moment.

[i]Play Style[/i]
Totems I use in raid:
Flametongue Weapon Totem(Fire Elemental Totem), Strength of Earth Totem, Windfury Weapon Totem & mana spring.
DPS Cycle:
To start with, I generally apply a Flame Shock to the target, wait for melee attack, do Storm Strike (WF should have come at this point) then do Earth Shock when it is off cooldown. Lava lash when this have been done + Lightning bolt when Maelstorm weapon is ready. Wolves at certain times, depending on which fight. Hence and repeat.
Heroism of course when asked for!
What do I bring to raids?
Always Flask of Relentless Assault (120 AP), Grilled Mudfish (20 agility), Haste Potions, fully repaired gear, at least 10 Ankhs, Health Potions and mostly (if I haven't had a bad day) a happy face!

[u][b]Miscellaneous information[/b][/u]
People who can vouch for me:
Well, you all know me? I'm sure atleast Nightgrip can vouch for me!

[i]My gaming history[/i]
Before World of Warcraft got introduced to me, I didn't play any MMO - I played Warcraft III, Diablo (singleplayer ftw!), CoD, Settlers etc. WoW was my first MMO and I started to play it at the 22nd of August 2006.

”Guild progression is very important for me, one main reason I still raid.”
Guild Progress > Me

When I face a new encounter I start off with reading the tactics. After that, I head to bosskillers or worldofraids to see if there is a tactical movie, a post about the boss in question or something similar.
My goal in this game is to be not only the best, but to get better [b]by each and every day.[/b]
Always willing to improve my game play and gear. I've always aimed high in this game, from day One and on I knew I was meant to raid the big stuff. [b]This is why I am better then all the others.[/b]

My plans for the future is to stay in the game for as long as I have the will to do play it. Wrath of the Lich King looks awesome to me, and I really look forward to it!
The best moment so far in my WoW carier must have been the:
A) Server first Brutallus kill with Guardians of Deathwing
B) When I looted my Amani War Bear after more then 12 timed runs, Jesus, I've never been that happy for something that is in a game.

Best regards yours; Kozya
