Declined - Sozelot, Enhancement Shaman.

Hello Epidemic! Im going straight away with some basic info in a punctial form, a lot easier to read.

IRL
Name: Johan
Age: 18
Current location: Sweden
Hardware and Connection: I got a brand new computer ( intel core i7, geforce gtx 460, 8gb ram.) and ( 100 mb/s connection) Also got a fully working headset ( + mic )
Occupation: I study Sience.

In-game.
Name: Sozelot
Race: Orc
Class: Shaman
specc: Enhancement
Armory link: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/zenedar/Sozelot/simple

Reason for playing my specc: In previous expansions i've been playing both elemental and resto. Now in cataclysm, i thought that they made all healers work the same way, got bored and went melee.
My thoughts about my talens. I've chosen a pretty straight forward and normal enchancement specc to maximize my dps. I've however put two points in instant ghostwolf since i think it's nice with extra movement in a lot of the cataclysm encounters. Just personal preference.
Glyphs, gemming and reforging: I've simply glyphed my most used talents for extra damage output, gemmed for agility after hitting the hit and expertise cap. Reforged to hit then mastery. All for maximum damage output.

Current gear status: My gear is atm pretty weak and i'm aware of it. My weapons are totally shit and im working on it ( Za/Zg). But trust me, pugging Za and ZG just make me so depressed so i just roll with these weapons for now til' i get better. Enchants are currently abit weak aswell. I will improve them to "top notch" as soon as i get something worth spending some gold on. In patch 4.2 i'll be able to get my tier 11 two-set-bonus, which will be a huge dps increase. I havn't really been able to get any gear, since i havn't been raiding since the cataclysm realease.

Previous Experience:
Vanilla - Leveling during this period of the game.

Tbc - Hardcore raiding with some diffrent guilds, Cleared everything up and including BT.

WotLK!
Naxx - 10 & 25. Cleared + Glory achievements.
OS+3d - Cleared
Malygos - Cleared
Ulduar - 10 & 25. Cleared + Glory acheivements. ( Also herald and most non-meta acheivements aswell )
ToTGC - 10 Cleared + insanity
TotGC - 25 4/5
Icc 10 HC - 11/12 + Glory achievements
Icc 25 HC- 11/12 + Glory acheivements.
Ruby Sanctum HC. 10 & 25 Cleared.

Cataclysm.
Bwd normal - 6/6 and 1/6 ( atramedes, tried other fights aswell, without succesful kill.)
BoT Normal - 4/4 and 1/5 ( Halfus, same here, tried some fights. )
Tot4w normal 2/2. 0/2 heroic.

I'm aware of the fact of I lack current HC experience, but i think my previous end-game experience will help out there.

I've played my shaman for a couple of years in hardcore raiding now, and i know my class very well.
( /played 169 days )
I also play some PvP ( maximum 2,3k rated in arenas. ) Currently playing some diffrent comps at about 2k, waiting for the new season.

Why would you pick me then?

I'm a calm person, never get stressed up. I got huge experience from previous expansions and know my class very well. I can communicate, both speaking and typing without any problems. I'm also a farmer of all kinds, been farming raidings mats for previous guilds for about 4 years now, and when Blizzard introduced the Achhievement Points to the game, they had me. Im now at a about 10,8k points, currently working on my mounts and pet collection. ( 123 Mounts and 98 pets, Steady raising.)
Im willing to go an extra mile for my guild, farming and helping out.

I think that's all, if you got any additional question or wonders, Please do ask.

Kind Regards, Sozelot!

What character is this on? You don't have the achievements for anything of that sort on the character you're applying with.

Why don't you have more experience this late expansion? Please name some sort of a reasonable excuse.

You say that we should bring you in because of your previous high end raiding experience, why didnt you kill LK? I see your current guild did. Didnt they want to bring you for some reason?

Hardcore tbc raiding? Did you clear it before or after the 30% nerf? Why didnt you continue in to sunwell?

With ZA/ZG, it has been out for a couple of weeks. How do you justify still running with blue weapons. You dont want to put in the effort to get better weapons because you dont like pugging ZA/ZG? Youre not dedicated enough to maybe assemble a group yourself? I mean, come on, Epidemic isnt progressing Magmaw heroic anymore. So we will require great dps, from every single raid member.

How are you supposed to magically summon this gear that you are going to get? Without doing ZA/ZG because it requires some work to complete with randoms? Are we supposed to gear you up?

PS. Please name previous guilds.

My highest arena exp is with my hunter, currently on another realm.

During Late Wotlk i was in Imploded penguins. In early Cata our core team disbanded and i lost intrerest of raiding, i also had some irl issues to solve. This is now solved and im again ready to raid. I've been to a few guilds, just as social tho.

I raided with Imploded penguins, and we did only killed LK HC 10 man, this during my vacation. Nothing on 25-man.

Hardcore tbc raiding? Did you clear it before or after the 30% nerf? Why didnt you continue in to sunwell?

just before the nerf, went on to sunwell after nerf, not worth mentioning

I've been running Za and ZG, been un-lucky with drops.. i have also been gathering groups, but always manage to get someone that doesnt really understand the tacts, dying and causing a whipe, and with gathered groups, ppl doesnt really tolerate whips, equals they leave.

I don't think you are suppoce to gear me up, no. Im running all the normals every week, trying to get some gear so i finally can apply to a guild, since i get turned downed cuz' of my low gear.

So basically you are saying that you do not want to put any effort into getting new weapons or other gear for the sake of it?
Also gear "worth" enchanting with best enchants? - Come on, you can enchant a full set of gear with best enchants ingame for close to nothing.
I see you were declined in Slap yesterday and yet you did not improve anything. That to me is lack of motivation.

My two cents, good luck

no you got me wrong. I've put a lot of effort into getting new weapons, but after weeks and weeks of wiping on the first boss in ZG, you kind of lose motivation.

How can you wipe on the first boss in ZA? And for weeks? I myself are able to que alone and still be able to finish the instance. Ye people can die sometimes but we still are able to manage.

guess im unlucky, anyways, withdrawing my application, best of luck in future gaming.

Thank you for the application but as you might had a feeling of, this is not what Epidemic is looking for.
