Hey all! My name’s Leo, I’m a 24 years old Finnish guy living in the UK and work in technology. I started Legion in a friend guild with minimal raid plans… but the raid bug has bitten me again. Here now to apply to MM to continue raiding!


General information

Battletag: TinyDino#2925

Main character applying with: Nymage (main spec fire):
http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/turalyon/Nymage/simple

For the most part, from WotLK to the beginning of WoD, I’ve raided with my shadow priest, Nymael:
http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/turalyon/Nymael/simple

The mage was created at first as a mandatory split-raid alt at the beginning of WoD. So it did not see much play outside of alt-raids and first weeks' heroic clears.

However, during Legion beta I came to adore the mage and the insane amount of mobility it has. Also, Spellsteal is legitimately one of the coolest spells, ever. Furthermore, mage has the innate flexibility of a pure dps class, where it will always have one spec performing very well (shadow was- and is - notoriously vulnerable to being a niche class). I've been focusing on fire so far, but with the upcoming Arcane buffs I've been slowly putting that spec together as well.

Logs:
I reckon most logs from MoP are outdated by now. Here are some from WoD:

Guild/Raid history

WotLK: Casual raiding as 10hc, nothing too special
Cata: Didn’t play in T11 & T12, cleared up to siege master pre-nerf in a friend guild in T13.

MoP:
T14: Played in friend guild, got many of the heroics not all.

T15: Got Lei Shen WR 141 and Ra-Den WR144 in Lorekeepers@Darksorrow (25hc).

T16: Played first half in Lorekeepers, and towards the end of progression moved to Security@Frostmane with some friends from Lorekeepers. I was not with them on their first kill of Garrosh (WR29), but due to the nerfs in Paragons and the dagger nerf, I got to experience the progress all over again. Security disbanded in April 2014 (and apparently more recently has been re-founded with a new crew).

WoD:
T17: Played in a Finnish guild, Ninjapartio@Darksorrow while living in UK (mistake, with 4-5x 5h raids starting at 4pm UK time). Cleared Margok mythic with WR153. Raided in BRF until (and a bit including) Blast Furnace progression, when I burnt out from having to work around my master’s thesis, exams, etc.

T18: Did not play in T18, instead focusing on finishing university.

Legion:
T19: Cleared normal mode EN with mixture of guildies and pugs in Lich Please@Turalyon. Want to get to something more organised and ambitious.


Why MM?

The first time I heard about MM was some years ago: Manaflask published an interview with them, and the concept you had going for you sounded cool. Then I was still into pushing rankings (that sweet free time during hs/uni…), so I didn’t dwell too long on it. However, now with a job and other commitments, the idea of a more relaxed schedule that stays true to the idea of going in blind to the encounters sounds much more appealing.

Developing and executing your guild’s own strats is some of the most fun I’ve had in raiding. While in some of the less hardcore guilds the idea was to copy the kill video of whoever published it first, making the whole process quite dull, frankly.

So: Cool sounding people, a schedule that is sustainable and works for me, and a style that is far more interesting than most can offer at these hours. Sign me up.


Why me?

I hope to come well prepared and bring my best performance to the raid while having a good time with you guys. Always enjoyed doing any extra tasks in raids, be it mind controls on BFurnace mythic, mass dispels on Ko’ragh, priority adds on Garrosh hc, etc. Parsing is for farm raids!

So: Spellsteal. And all the deeps. And fun.



Thanks for your time and for considering my application! Happy to have a chat with you if you have any further questions, just add me on Bnet.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Nym (TinyDino#2925)

Maybe it is in your weird language but a comma is not the end of the sentence.

Try me again and I will gkick you cause that is the sort of guild we are,
Best Buddy

Hey guys. Are you all aware if you adres someone in the greeting you're supposed to put a comma before the name to indicate you're talking at that rather than about them?

Who knew, right?
