TL:DR I think we can make sweet music together

About me
Age 47
Gender male
Location Belgium, native English speaker
Character(s)
I run with 3 mains (kinda) was to fulfill the needs of the raid of my last guild. Ie. I raid lead, main-tanked, off-tanked, range dps’d and healed. Main in order of preference are:
Maarbane - Thunderhorn - Aff lock -i887
Furiousfire - Thunderhorn - Prot/Holy Pala i887/i883
Durien - Thunderhorn - Disc/Holy priest i880/i878
I have 46 other toons (I like leveling!) on TH/Wildhammer my 24 toons are all in my private guild, “Loafer” rather apt description. Though I spend the vast majority of my time on the above three.
Progress
EN - HC clear
ToV - didn’t like the place so didn’t do it - joking aside was away from game and was back for NH
NH cleared nm on Fury and Maar and 3/10 HC on Maarbane
Play style
Over the years I have lead a number of raids, so that is an itch that has been scratched, if needed I would step up, but MUCH prefer to slack at the back.
Life commitments place me somewhere between core and flexible. I much prefer to turn up for practice nights on new bosses, nothing quite beats the first down of a new boss after all. But also understand that the gearing process is part and parcel of progression.
I could make Weds and 1 of 2 at w/e, though that would require negotiation with “‘er indoors”, two young children whilst keeping me young also need a lot of herding.
Main 1 - Maar - Affliction lock, I like the mobility that it affords, currently have aspects of rotation in lazymode ie macro’d corruption or seed on packs, agony, siphon life, and up to 3*UA, drain life,reap is macro’d into agony, and I general macro item usage CD’s into my drain life.
Main 2 - Fury - Prot/Holy, prot as per usual is situational and keeping a “rotation” leads to a rigidity of thought. Holy - again I like mobility so I have a tendency to rotate through Martyr/shock/dawn, and will only switch to flash when popping CD’s looking at HPala wep traits it would seem that there is a move toward this playstyle. I still have a lot of work to do on this but can burst up to about 650k hps though that is so mana inefficient as to be worthless. So generally quite a bit lower, how much ofc depends on so many factors as to make hps quotes invalid, but generally I hover around the 300-400k hps again that isn’t just a reflection of my personal ability.
Main 3 - Duri - Priest, this one is very much my LFR loller, though can be useful as a tank heal - disc or raidwide Holy. the least often used, I miss my bubbles on disc and I miss my spirit on Holy.
I can be fairly vocal, have a warped brain and a potty mouth, so I generally mute myself during raids where I can, after all, who wants to hear “feel my affliction up your @rse, Gul’dan”.
Predilections
I enjoy raiding, particularly killing fresh bosses, in new and interesting ways - red hot poker anyone?
I haven’t had the chance to form a solid M+ team, was forever filling in to help out others, though suspect I will thoroughly enjoy it once I can get that stability. Though have completed m+12.
Have completed 1500+ WQs in legion which included a 3 month hiatus, don’t enjoy but understand they are necessary.
Leveling alts ? 49 toons, I rest my case
PvP - give me back AV without reinforcements pls.
Achievements - meh
Money - I have enough to keep me comfortable.
Other miscellany
Hekate may remember Furiousfire from years back.
I am proud of the friends I have made, people spend a lot of time with each other in game raiding/dungeoneering/arsing about so damn good idea to enjoy their company.
I don’t like pugging.
I do like cheese

Why HW ?
Herein lies the rub. I am looking for a home where I know that:
1. It won’t get bulldozed a week down the line
2.1Where there is recognition that generally people want a toon that represents them. This normally, is Furiousfire, but I am so enjoying mucking about with my Affliction lock that Fury has been supplanted in my affections by Maarbane.
3.HW have existed for 12 years, just about as long as I have been on TH. I understand that the character of a guild is reflected in its membership, but, the nature of the leadership has enabled HW to still be here when many “over-achieving” guilds have long since passed.
I was in “Champions of WoW” for many many years and have a deep and abiding affection for the guild, but I felt it was time for a change. I want to feel settled, I want to know that if I sign up to raid on my lock I won’t be pressured into switching.
Can I say that I like HW as a guild? I can only judge by what has been said, and what I have seen from the outside over the years. Can anyone definitively state that this would be a good fit ? No, you have to judge me on my words and actions hence trial memberships I see.
What more can I say?
I like to put my hand up when people ask for help, paying it forward is the best way to grow into a guild after all. Think I have given a fair picture of my character throughout this application. I am plain speaking and appreciate the same in return, can’t abide BS. To paraphrase dark legacy comics, “ I am Maar/Fury/Duri and I am an alliance raider!”
Finally, if you have got this far, well done! Hope it has entertained as well as informed, and once again thank for your time and consideration.
