Do you have pre-WotLK raiding experience, if so what?

Didn't bother rushing out to buy wow when it was first released as i was addicted to other games so i started around TBC. Most of TBC i spent leveling so i didn't get that much end game stuff done ( only tier 4/some 5 content).

What raiding experience do you have in WotLK? Please include which bosses you've done on heroic mode.

I have cleared every thing up until 3.3 (excluding some HM's) where as 3.3 my ICC progress consists of;

10 man: 9/11 (sindra to 9%)
25 man:6/11



Character specific questions


Explain your current gear choices and how you hope to improve them in the future, meaning which stats do you prioritize and why.
As a holy paladin, i tend to take the Holy light spamming approach so my main goal is mana conservation so i find intellect my most important stat for Icecrown raiding.


Comment on how you've chosen to gem and enchant your character, and why you have chosen these gems/enchants.
I have chosen my Enchants and gems to suit my spec and my play style.Also i find the crit of the intellect very useful.

What glyphs are you using and why?

In my holy spec, i am using Glyph of Holy light to help out on the raid with giving melee a bit of a top up. I also use Glyph of beacon as i this way i don't have to keep target switching to replace it on a new player every Minuit . Glyph of seal of wisdom as my healing spells have a reduced mana cost of 5% so it helps my conserve mana.
My minor glyphs as a holy paladin don't really help to much except for the glyph of lay n hands witch reduces the cooldown of LoH by 5 mins.

Could you point out the strong points and focus of your spec?
I find Crit very important as a holy paladin and tend to gather as much of it. This is why i went for a 51/5/15 build so i could get the "convitction" talent.

Do you have any notable offspec gear and are you experienced/up to date with the mechanics of playing your offspecs?

I have played prot as my offspec ever since i made my paladin so i do have some experince. I think the gear score of my prot spec is around 5.2 and around the same for my ret spec. I have tank up to proffesor Putri in my prot set but the rest of content i have done was as holy.


We require you to have at least one crafting profession (not engineering). If you have two gathering professions, would you be prepared to reroll one? Both of my proffs are Crafting proffs



General questions

Previous guilds and reasons for leaving?
Serious Business - Great guild overall, but i would like to make some more progress.



What role do you feel you provide in a raid and what areas of strengths do you feel your class and spec has over others?

As of my lack of AoE heals, i find that my class is obviously the best tank healer so i find my strengths within single target healing.



What 1 thing would you change about your class if you could?

It depends on what you mean .

Just something general that i could change? Or something i would like to see change for the paladin class?




What do you think you can add to Eternals?
Provide a experience holy paladin that turns up on time, every time that comes prepared with things i need (flasks,pots, reagents) and is ready to down some bosses!



What do you think Eternals can do for you? To help me progress through some end raid gaming as we have a laugh as we do it


Do you know anyone from Eternals who might have something nice to say about you?
Nope :<



Personal infomation; Name, age, where you live, interests/hobbies, Job and family that will nag you to stop raiding?
The names Iain Woodward and im 17 from Manchester, UK. Very interested in rugby and love music. Im a collage student at the moment , and i am studying to become a web designer.



Additional information which you would like to name?

nice from manchester you say give more metrosexual mancunians
goodluck on your application

-perky

Well when i say Manchester, i actually mean Warrington, but you get the drift im from the North West

ah nice im like 15miles from manchester at the moment but yea its easyier to say manchester :p you might of actualy heard of the place its called Hadfield (were they filmed League of Gentlemen)

ahh yes, It's near Oldham where i was the other day

Gief a few more from the North West to counteract the daft amount of Dutch people we have. Although I'm not quite sure if Warrington counts as habitable, gives me the shudders just getting the train through it.

Good luck with your app though mate.

What´s wrong with Dutch people?

Their DUTCH?

I see Eternals are a very Dutchist guild?

Ofcourse, it beats being Hollands

Enchants and gems seems ok.Spec can be improved a bit.Just 1 question.What will u do when u go oom u had your mana pot and the tank still needs some decent healing?

The spec i have at the moment isn't my standard spec, i was playing around with it to try different play style. I usually use the crit build by using Conviction in the ret spec.

As for your little ooming situational you ask, usually if this occurred, i'd first of all pop my trinket if im wearing it witch give me 1.6k mana back, use a judgment of wisdom on the boss(melee to gain some mana if there's not to much damage going out and depending on the boss), pop divine plea and also Divine illumination and then i would just keep spamming holy light while i gain some mana back and just keep using judgment every time it's off CD to give some mana back while i keep the tank/s up.

Its a start but there is a better way....plea+wings+trinket...u wont have time to jow since it has 1sec gcd and u dont want to delay a single heal.Later on without trinket but with the 2set on tier10 u can go plea + illumination without loosing any % of healing.Also i said the tank needs decent healing so u can spam Flash.If the tank needs heavy healing and u go oom then u need holy/prot spec to raidwall 1st or to sacrifice tank.

i cans sit on tank all day without going oom 40k mana ftw

wow, 40k mana UB, that is nice , but i'd love to see it last on 25 man LK HC

Accepted on trial which means do your best to stay or......
