2. Why do you want to raid with Enigma instead of your current guild? If you are not in a Guild, why? Why do you raid in general? I am tired of trying to help my friends in a guild where no one shows up or can only make one night a week to raid they are holding me back and I just want to progress.

3. Are there any members of Enigma that you feel would give you a strong recommendation?
If any one in Enigma knows me I do not know how but it would be cool

4. Do you have ventrilo and a working microphone? What kind of computer/internet connection do you have? YES, I have a Laptop... 2.4GHZ processor, 4GB of RAM, 1GB Graphics Card and Comcast Internet...


Gear & Spec:

5. Please provide a link to your armory profile.
a. Describe your main spec gear set: Include reasons you have obtained certain stats over others, as well as your gem and enchant choices.
b. Describe your secondary spec decision. What is your gear and knowledge level for it? Would you be comfortable using your secondary spec in a raid situation if needed?

Lexorin:
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.x...&cn=Lexorin

On Lexorin I am trying to keep the simple basic 12-17% haste while keeping my spellpower and spirit so that I can have the big raid heals required of a priest. I am always willing to switch to Disc when need that used to be my main spec to I will do what is best suited or need for the raid.

Serriph:
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.x...&cn=Serriph

On Serriph I am trying to slowly push back from stacking haste since I have the 856 haste cap so i am slowly working into spellpower and spirit for the endurance aspect...although i am always open to suggest.


6. What major and minor glyphs do you have? Are these the best PVE glyphs available for your class?

Lexorin:
My Major Glyphs Are:
Glyph of Flash Heal
Glyph of Guardian Spirit
Glyph of Circle of Healing

My Minor Glyphs Are:
Glyph of Levitate
Glyph of ShadowFiend
Glyph of Fading

Overall these are the best glyphs I found for PVE raiding, However I am always willing to debate..

Serriph:
My Major Glyphs Are:
Glyph of Rejuvenation
Glyph of Swiftmend
Glyph of Nourish

My Minor Glyphs Are:
Glyph of Dash
Glyph of the Wild
Glyph of Unburdened Rebirth

I use Nourish for the sole fact that in the 10-man ICC I was raid leading we were two healing it and i was using it to help heal tanks.


7. If you could have any three pieces of gear available currently in game (that you do not already have) what would they be and why? I would marrowgar's frigid eye, greatcloak of the turned champion, and trauma or possible solace of defeated heroic for Serriph.....Trauma, Solace of the defeated heroic, and the Althor's Abacus

8. What is, in your opinion, the best source of information about your class/spec/gearing choices?
Elitist Jerks, www.mmo-champion.com, http://theoverpowereddruid.blogspot.com,ht...ationdruid.com/
http://www.wowpopula.../Priest/Talents
http://www.almostgam...st-talent-guide

9. What unique things does your class/spec bring to raids or do better than any other class/spec?
As a priest I bring the Spirit and Fort buff
As a Druid I bring the Mark of the Wild and Battle Rez


10. What combination of raiding consumables is the best for your class/spec?
Spellpower like a fish feast, and flask of the frost wyrm, sometimes flask of pure mojo

11. What are the primary spells or abilities you use in a raiding environment? If you have a rotation, what is it?
Resto Druid= Rejuv, lifebloom, regrowth, wild growth when its up and nourish if i need to spam heal
Holy priest= Prayer of Mending, renew, flash heal, circle of healing and then prayer of healing when serendipity is at 3 stack
Disc priest= Power Word:shield,Prayer of Mending, flash heal, penance then keep it up as they come of cooldown


Additional Questions:
(If you don't feel you need to take the time to correctly post Q12 & 13, don't bother applying)

12. Please link or add a screenshot of your UI in a raid setting. What UI mods do you use? Which is the most important?
I use Grid, SexyMap, Sexy Cooldowns, Ag_Unit Frames, DXE Boss Mods... I think the DXE Boss Mods is better then DBM but I can get it.... I think Grid and the Boss Mod Are Most Important... However I do use the Razer Naga Mouse so I have to use the Razernaga Button UI and I have noticed it has increased my healing easily....

13. Please provide a few links to your previous WWS reports.
http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/ls3p4b5...um/healingDone/
That was me healing as Disc.... That was the last time I was any Major Guild that used any form of recording....

14. Our current raid setup is 7:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. (CST) on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Are you able to make these raids for the duration? How many of our raids per week would you be able to make on an ongoing basis? I can make most raid days, I may have to miss one here and there but it would only be to due to my job in the U.S. Navy

15. Do you anticipate your attendance level changing in the next few months for school, family, work, etc? I am in the U.S. Navy sometime I am on watch and other days I am not but I will know well in advance if I can not make the raid so I can post ahead of time....

Hey Lexorin/Serriph,

Thank you for applying to Enigma.

2. Why do you want to raid with Enigma instead of your current guild? If you are not in a Guild, why? Why do you raid in general? I am tired of trying to help my friends in a guild where no one shows up or can only make one night a week to raid they are holding me back and I just want to progress.

What happened to the Guild you were in for the World of Logs link you posted? Why are you not with them any longer?

Can you give more detail on this? Some days you are on watch and some days you are not, Able to make most raids, Gone here or there.. These statements are extremely vague. Are we looking at 50% attendance? 1 miss every 2 weeks? Or is it something completely unpredictable? Just need to gauge on your availability.

Questions on Lexorin
Why did you choose to get your 4pc for healing before Bliz announced it's changes? How often do you use flash heal as holy/disc?

Regarding your Holy spec, why did you put 0 points in Divine Fury, but yet put 3/3 into Improved Healing?

Regarding your Disc spec, why did you put 0 points in Divine Fury?

Why did you choose to go with Test of Faith instead of Blessed Resilience? Do you understand the application of Test of Faith with Renew and POM?

Do you still find it necessary to go with 2/2 or even 1/2 healing focus with the current play of Holy Priests?

The Bauble of True Blood is bad trinket. Why didn't you pick up the Purified Lunar Dust which is an excellent trinket? At the time, it was a much better choice then grabbing 4piece Healing.

Questions on Serriph
I'll ask these in a bit. Haven't had time to look over the toon yet and am at work.

However, which character are you applying to raid with? Your priest or druid? Will you request to switch mains a couple months down the road?

What happened to the Guild you were in for the World of Logs link you posted? Why are you not with them any longer? I brought back my main priest to help raid lead a guild that both my friend and I were in. And Unfortnatly after 1-month of trying to working with people I decided to step down from raid leading and going back to just being a raider. Issues were people were failing to show up or research there class. I like to raid with people who actually do the work to be called raiders.

As for this....I have duty every four days. Mean that I had duty today tuesday so the next time I have duty is saturday. Now when on duty there is a chance I may be standing watch, but those chances are like slim. It may happen every now and then so out of a month i would maybe miss 2-3days max but probably less.


Lexorin:
I use flash heal all the time as both holy and disc....Reasons for holy Surge of light and serendipity....for disc b/c of my crit everytime i crit i proc the divine aegis which leads to more damage negation

As for my 4set i chose to get it b/c I like the ability to reset the CD of penenace and COH and so far it works well.

however now that they are changing the 4-set it, i may have wished to to get something else...However 5% more damaged abosrbed by PWS is still good as for the 5% more of renew only time will tell..

For holy I didn't put the points into divine fury b/c i felt the points were better spend in the serendipity and the test of faith along with the improved renew...

For Disc there is no point in my opinion b/c greater heal still costs more its easier to use a Prayer of mending, PWS, Penance, Flash heal rotation burns less mana then greater healing from what i have seen

Test of faith with renew and empowered renew seem to making it easier for the raid to get above 50% then spamming a lot... I also thought blessed resilence was more for pvp then pve

I choose the 2/2 healing focus for fights where we are taking constant aoe like festergut putricide and rotface to name a few now could i put 1 point elsewhere sure and i am always willing to try new types of theroycrafting...

As for the trinket i have been using it against the sliver of pure ice to see which suits my healing needs better and I will agree that purified lunar dust is better but i was holding out for heroic solace of defeated and my tier 10 4-set considering that mana really hasn't been to much a problem, however i am saving up for it now..

Questions on Serriph
I'll ask these in a bit. Haven't had time to look over the toon yet and am at work.
Ask all the questions you want....

However, which character are you applying to raid with? Your priest or druid? Will you request to switch mains a couple months down the road?

I am applying with both here is the deal, I can heal on either pretty easy I want to bring and heal on whichever is needed that night.....as a disc/holy priest i can single target heal and aoe heal..... and the druid i can aoe heal....I like to support the guilds i am in to the best of my abilities.. Now if you want me to choose a main toon to raid with well then i prefer my priest overall he was my first toon...

Thank you for replying to my questions on your priest, but we are going to decline the application. I don't feel you have a grasp on holy or disc play in 3.3/Icecrown.

I also fear you would leave, because your friend's Guild may get better, and you would go back. You've left a good Guild once, no saying it wouldn't happen again.

I'd thank to thank you for the interest you've displayed in Enigma, and I wish you luck in searching for a Guild.

Okay if that is your decision fine as for you insulting me saying I don't grasp it that is your opinion based on what you think is right for a holy or disc priest. I could feel inclined to say that you don't fully grasp it either, I never claim to know everything that there is to know about any class and anyone who does is a fool....You may know a lot I will give you that much but to claim that you fully grasp the concept of holy and disc is arrogant. So I am glad you are passing on me. You are probably one of those people that if the class is not played in the way you think it should be you bitch and moan.

[hanataro]

Hey Lex,

Apparently you misunderstood or misinterpreted my comment, it was not meant to be insulting. I never claimed to command a full knowledge of the class. However, there is a correct and incorrect way to get the most out of a class. For example, Priests Healing 4pc T10 was changed because it was bad and/or didn't benefit the most effective play styles for priests. If it did, then there would be no need for it to be changed. Which means, flash heal spamming is not the most effective healing strategy for either spec. Which then means, you do not have a grasp on holy/disc for 3.3/Icecrown.

I don't understand why you feel personally slighted to the criticism, and feel the need to backlash onto me. The comment itself isn't world destroying, you just aren't what we are looking for in an applicant. And instead of coming back being rude, why not ask why and possibly learn a little more. The criticism has nothing to do with the characters' puppet master, as I assume you are a great person IRL. I don't "Bitch and moan" if people don't play their class like myself. I only chime in on people's spec and play styles when it is obvious they are or aren't doing something that makes their class most effective.

Again, good luck in search for a Guild.
