Your Character: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/T ... /Navindal/

Level: 47 (currently leveling - started after I made the apply)

Class: Druid

Spec: Guardian Mainspecc, Restoration OS

Played Time: 16 hours (on this char)

Achievement Points: 8490 (8230 on druid)

Is this your main character? Currently I can't call any of my character my main (due to the fact I'm recently back from a long break more or less). Will dedicate this character all time tho.

Alts Please list ALL alts regardless of level, including name, race, class, level and guild - Also including previous guilds here
Since I'm recently back from quite long break (Haven't played so much since early Firelands) I'm gonna list some alts I used to main when I raided frequently. I have a few more and can show you if you want but since I've just puged with Friend's and their guilds there is not much to brag waste your time about those chars.

http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/c ... xil/simple - My very first char. Mainly had him on Kul Tiras in a guild called Elysium. This guild is the best guild I've ever been in so far. It was more of a community with friendly people aiming to have progressive raids and environment but keep the social and friendly aspect in a good shape. We all got to know each other well and I still play with some of them even tho the guild fell a part in late WoTLK due to GL and officers stopped playing. Also been in Renaissance Knights, Nox Aeternum and Cydonia during my raiding period in WoTLK. At that point I was 5 years younger and changed a bit more guilds than I am today. I value things differently than I did back then. On CoA I've been in Akatsuki Clan which was a friend's guild but haven't been raiding there.

Besides this char I haven't really been playing so much WoW. Quited during early Cata due to school, driving licence, family struggle and moved to new town and new appartment with my GF this spring. Have played from time to time, doing LFR on different chars and helping out friends in raids with different chars - but not high end content or with high gear level. If you want to know more don't hesitate to contact me and I shall explain again. May be a bit confusing.

Play Style

What sort of position would suit you best in terms of what you are looking for from a guild (delete as appropriate)

Well, currently I'm leveling but definately wanting to become a Core Raider asap. Also fine with Flexible Raider until my gear level is fine and ofc if there would be any spot for me.

Core Raider: I must raid 2 times a week, at least
Flexible Raider: I will sign to any events Im able to attend but wont ragequit if I dont make the group
Levelling

Which of the following days each week are you available? Please see the top post for details of our current raid days.

Tuesday 21:00 CET until 23.30
Wednesday 21:00 CET until 23.30 - Yes
Thursday 21:00 CET until 23.30 - Yes
Sunday 20:30 CET until 23.30

Why did you chose your current spec?
I've always enjoyed tanking and healing just because I love to make an impact. I am easy learner and love responsability and action where you not 100% know what next move might be. To be able to react and make important decisions is what I like.



Tell us a little about your spell/shot/melee rotation & general play style in a raid/dungeon/group situation. (You may link stats websites such as WoL in support of your application)
As guardian the decisions depends on situation but mainly I can summary it like this:

Single target:
Keep Mangle on CD, Keep up Thrash and debuff from Faerie Fire. Then Spam Lacerate and use Maul if:
* you are under the effect of a Tooth and Claw Icon Tooth and Claw proc;
* you are at or very close to maximum Rage;
* you do not need to use your active mitigation.

AoE:
Keep up Thrash and Use Mangle and Swipe on CD.

With this it comes timing to use defensive CD's, taunting and adapting tactics.



Choose THREE of the following which best describes your usual WOW week. Delete those which do NOT apply


- Inguild only group instancing - at 90 or with someone in my level range I would try to do as much as possible with guildies.
- Solo questing - currently since I'm trying to get 90 asap.
- Challenge Mode in-guild groups - Same as first row.


Which of your achievements in WoW are you the most proud of, and why? *This does not have to be a recognised Blizzard acheivement - it could just be the slog of levelling from 1 - 85, or looting an item you have farmed for a long time*

To make all those friends in Elysium was fantastic. Really hope to get approved here and make new friends!

Other Stuff

Do you know an existing member of the Highland Warriors? If so, who: for how long, and how do you know them?
Currently I don't know anyone but talked for quite a bit yesterday with Windavell and Cwtch.

Why do you want to join the Highland Warriors?
I might have missed lots of raids and hardcore exp but I really want a new shot of getting in a friendly, progressive and serious guild again. Have been looking for some months for a guild that imediately felt right and saw your official post on the forums. I talked to Windavell and it just verified my feeling - I really think I would fit in here.


How will you improve yourself as a Highland Warrior?
I think I would improve both as a person and a raider in Highland Warriors. I like speaking English and learn about other cultures, countries and personalities. As mentioned I love making friends and think that too many contacts in the world wont hurt.
As a raider I am very open to constructive critisism and always try and want to improve my playstyle. Any advice about how to improve my performance is much appreciated. I always use SimulationCraft, read on Elitistjerks, official forums, Icy-veins, Noxxic and use Askmrrobot in order to optimize my character.

Anything extra you would like to tell us about yourself?
I understand if you doubt about me since I haven't really raided properly since WoTLK. But I really want to do my best, improve myself and get to know you all - you seem awesome. I will dedicate all my wow-time to get my druid in best possible shape and try to get 2 speccs going in order to be flexible in raids.

If you have additional questions - do not hesitate to ask.

Looking forward to your answers.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that the reason for creating a new char is that I've never played alliance before. I have really wanted to try it out! Have heirlooms so will get to 90 quickly.
EDIT 2: Will keep update my character's level.

Hello Navindal

Thank you for your application. Always nice to see returning players.

I am curious, what will happen with your horde character, looking at your recent activity you have been quite active on him, its not that we do not like people having horde characters but we need to be clear that the majority of yor played time should be with the guild. We are not an alt guild

edit:

I understand if you doubt about me since I haven't really raided properly since WoTLK. But I really want to do my best, improve myself and get to know you all - you seem awesome. I will dedicate all my wow-time to get my druid in best possible shape and try to get 2 speccs going in order to be flexible in raids.

This is never a concern for us, our main concern is having the right people with the right attitude. Learning fights and classes we can help with the rest.... well..... :-p

[Navindal]

Until I have decent gear for both speccs on Navindal I will dedicate all my time on him. In future, when and if I have a spot in the raid team, and my gear suits our progress I might play my shaman as alt when I wont have anything to do on my druid. If that will happen I will transfer him here and make him alliance and have him in guild - no way I will keep an active alt outside of the guild. But that's a big IF.. Will focus on druid to get him in raid shape Asap!

[Nightmarish]

Ok and do you have any alts on either wildhammer or Thunderhorn?

[Navindal]

No, I don't have any alts on those realms. I found this guild through your official forum post. I am willig to join and establish myself and my druid here even tho I start without gold, professions and items. And I am willig to put required time to hurry up in order to get a raid spot before WoD.
