Personal

Name, Age, Location :
Shadowfoxx, 19, Sydney Australia

Where to start, well I have been playing WoW, and on Khaz Modan before any of these fancy expansions came around, so in other words.. too long! I recently came back from a 9month WoW break as I was busy with college work, and it is great to be a part of the wow community again.
My hobbies are my motorbike. 2 wheels are much..much better then 1 :D and also guitar, which I have been playing for about 5 years now.
I am in my second year of college studying graphics design, and wouldn't want to be doing anythig else.


Computer, Input Devices, Communication

I use a Dell XPS 420, great gaming computer and has more then enough power to run wow :) I have the XPS mouse and keyboard which haven't failed me yet, nothing too special about them but they do the job. And ofcourse I have ventrilo! I have cable internet with awesome speed.


Schedule

At the moment its very good.
I'm on a 4 month break, and have work 2 to 3 times a week, although it will not interfere with raiding times. I would like to attend as many raids as I can, and am free close to every day of the week. Ventrilo interview can be done at any time I am online ingame :)



Experience, Value

Before my break, I was in <Evil Doers> for about a year, and before that in <Sunder from Down under>. Sadly, I'v had bad luck with picking guilds that disband :P and lets hope that luck hasn't followed me here. I used to be a regular raider back with ED and Sunder, although they both had pretty large raid demands so unfortunately I was not able to attend as much as I would have liked to. I enjoy raiding, and believe that you haven't experienced the full game until you raid in a tight nit community, even if it might take numerous wipes and many months to get the gear you aspire for. In raids I am sensible, and enjoy being part of the team. I have a good sense of humor and can take a joke, or throw a joke, and would definately like to be apart of the <Soul> community


History

As mentioned above, I had a solid spot in <Evil Doers> before I left for my break and was pretty saddened to it had split on my return. I have since done my research and chosen <Soul> to hopefully take me under their wing. I have raided with numberous members of the guild in the past, and some might be familiar with my name.


Character


Paladin, Holy (main), Ret (off), MT healer, 450 Mining, 442 BSing

Shadowfoxx's Armory Profile

I chose to play as a paladin because they are a versatile class and can do one of either of the 3 main roles in WoW; tank, heal and damage. Although the druid can do this aswell, I chose paladin for its plate wearing capabilites. I'v always thought plate looks the best, and is also the toughest. I chose to spec Holy because I like to provide support for either a raid, or a party, and healers will always be in demand. And lets face it, a party isn't going anywhere without heals :)
My favourite talents are ofcourse the bubble (for obvious reasons). Its always a good laugh to jump into the middle of Orgrimmar and bubble hearth while hundreds of orcs try and axe you down. I chose BSing so that I could make gear for myself as I levelled.


Equipment, Itemization, Sockets, Enchants.

As gear goes, I tend to go after the stuff with good +crit strike rating. As a holy pally, I get mana back with each crit heal I lay off. So the more crits I get, the more mana I maintain. Most of my gems will be +Spell Power, then +Crit Strike, then +Intel. Intel is also nice to balance out my character's stats as it adds a little to everything. I am happy with my characters set up as it is, now I just gotta start raiding again to get some of that higher end 25 man peices :)



User Interface, Setup, Reaction

My UI

Posted Image

I am very happy with my UI set up, and have stuck with the same one since I first hit 70 in BC. as you can see, my 3 most used heals, and cleanse are macro'd. The macro is a script I wrote myself (finally my software design classes came in handy!). It allows me to heal anyone i mouseover. All i have to do is scroll over a raid member in my UI and press a heal, and its done! Alot of players are unaware that this can be done, and i personally like to keep it a little secret as it works so well. It saves time so I don't have to target the player by clicking on him first, and loading his portrait (which can also slow down FPS)
Quartz, the cast bar which you see helps me determine when i can start casting my next spell. This greatly improves my casting speed, and will allow me to get more heals off per minute - a mod which every healer MUST have :)


Contract


I, Shadowfoxx have read, and fully agree the raid rules, and terms and conditions of being a member of <Soul> and will obide by them at all times. I thank you for your time in considering my application, and look forward to hearing back from you soon!
cheers!

I'm curious - why did you opt for 61 points in Holy rather than going deep enough Ret for Conviction (5% crit)?

Also, you chose Glyph of Cleansing over Glyph of Seal of Light or Wisdom - why is that?

so Im no pally expert, as I play a resto druid, but from what ive read on healer forums, pallys gem for SP + Int then crit after a certain point. [ I might be wrong] So just wondring why you would choose crit over intel. esp. if you need to gear up for this 25 content and are healing the MT. Wouldnt you prioritize int over crit? Maybe Im just a noob when it comes to pallys, if so then be like STFU Levana. =P

Alan, it was a toss up between choosing to spec for judgements of the pure, or the extra 5% crits. In the end i chose to opt for the judgements, since i use them alot, and %15+ haste for 1min is pretty nice, but it was a close draw.
And I have yet to review my glyphs from since i went on break :) so they will be changed up abit from what they are now.


Mana, it is x-perl raid frames, I have it set up in healing mode. Haven't come across a better raid frame mod yet.


And Lev, I chose crit over intel for the reason that i can get mana back from my heals. intel will give you +50% spell crit, and +50% mana, where as spell crit will give u 100% spell crit... if that makes sense. My current mana pool seems to last nicely, and hasn't given me any issues yet. Since Devine Plea came out (pretty much a innrevate for pallies) I haven't had the need for more mana, ofcourse if in the future i do start to run low on mana, I will definately gem for +intel. I hope i understood your question correctly :rolleyes:

i am not usualy one to post replys to apps but i saw you say it was a toss up between judgemets of the pure vs crit
well thats not entierly true
aura mastery's vlaue is farly low there isnt to many silence / interupts that u have to worry about in toc 25
yes if u get a snobold they do interupt but they also stun and aura mastery dosnt help with stuns
imp con aura again not enough silence and interupts to be that critical
pure of heart is a pvp talent so its only real benifit is on faction champions
purifying power .... well not that usefull
sacred clenseing again not overly usefull

right there is 10 points that can get u 5% crit and u dont lose judgements of the pure

now lets look at divinity 5% more heals so on holy light thats
5+ for every 100
50+ for every 1000
500+ for every 10000
asuming ur holy light crits in the 20k range that 1k extra healing
thats not alot considering you have a lower crit rate if you sacrifice 3 points there u can gain another 3% crit (sanctity of battle)


as for glyphs keep the holy light and id pick up glyph of seal of wisdom ... since holy pallys use judgemts of the pure u have to have a seal up so reducing ut healing spell's cost by 5% just to have the seal up is nice

Due to the Illumination nerf which is where you get your mana return from spell crits, gemming int is better than crit as 30% return is not as much as you can get from just pure int gems which gives crit and mana.
On a scale of 1 to 10, you suck.

Moving this thread out of archive since the person is interested in joining again. When could you be comfortable for an interview? Sadly this Thursday is impossible for me.
