Character Name: WildRiver
Class: Shaman
Armory Link: http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Bladefist&cn=Wildr%C3%ADver

Total time /played on this character: Long time lol
How long did you take to level from 70-80?: 3 weeks
List and describe any gear sets for other specs that you possess: Just pvp Resto dont play any other spec on shammy to OP for healing

Do you have any reasonably geared alts that you are prepared to play as well? List & describe them here: Have a few alts but not geared at all.

Describe your role in a raid - and go into detail; this is your chance to demonstrate to us that you know your class:

The shaman is a hybrid class this is a tricky one to narrow down, this will depend on the raid. Do i pop tank healer? or Raid Healer? then if this is the case what are the best stats do i stack? Int? or Haste? Genrally i like to tank heal but can genrally out heal any class other than Pallys (who need to be pve nerfd) Raid healing is the hardest in this case i will pop chain heals and rip tides (if a clothy is getting pwnd cos they cant keep there aggro down will cast earth shield as no mana and will heal for 4-8k) so this will depend on what u want me for if that is the case i will stack haste if not ill stack Int and SP.

Raiding Information
Previous Raid Experience (guilds, ranks/roles, and content cleared - include Vanilla/TBC if relevant: Played all content excpet 25 man ICC seen tacs from Tankspots.com tho so not to hard or taxing for us healers i see in there. From vanilla to TBC i ran a Horde Guild (which still runs today) <War and Peace> (bladefist) Gm is now Bambo left cos i wanted to try ally. Used to be in a Ally guild for a few years called <Untamed> but due to personal reasons i left wow for 2 years and no one seems to be online anymore lol.

Reason for Leaving your current guild. If you are leaving on good terms, give us the names of anyone who could vouch for you: N/A as everyone has gone i can not give any names.

Link to any recent combat parses (WMO, WoL, etc): This shows on armorey now

Link a screenshot of your UI (in combat, preferably in a raid), and/or a video of you playing: Dont see why u want this? how would this help you? or me?

List your computer's stats and your internet connection. Include average latency and FPS during raids: Quad core 2.7, 4gb ram, 250 gts nvida. Latency is roughly 60 - 90. FPS is 200 roughly

Explain your reasoning for being your current race if Alliance. If Horde, what race would you pick when you change?: Shaman erm cos there is no other. If had second choice would of rolled Orc due to raicals


Risen Heroes and You
Why do you want to join Risen Heroes?: Why not? Need a guild and you need active healers. To be honest its not the game its the people that play, i love the socail side to wow.

Tell us why we should give you a trial: Because i have played shaman for 4 years

What are your thoughts on beginning raids early and staying beyond the required raid times to down new content? Would you be available for occasional Friday / Saturday raids during progression?:
Not fussed quite happy with what ever

How do you feel about sitting out when raid composition demands it?:

Have no issue with this. However if i have to sit out and the guild says dont pug this week cos we "Might need you" i will not take that as a answer. If you say we will need you i will nto pug. But again quite happy to sit out if other person needs to gear.

Are you active in any non-raiding aspects of WoW like PVP, achievements, or alts? On average how many hours are you online each week?: Every day for a long time lol. Bit of a Arena Junkie at the moment currently on 1.2k rating with my Lock freind love to role faces.

Nice app.

Shame you were in the Army, but at least you saw the sense and got out

I'm in the Air Force

I'm sure an officer will get back to you soon, I will no doubt see you in game anyway very soon

Hey Wild glad to see you found our humble home without too much of a problem

Your application is now up for evaluation, this can take some time while we natter away about you

Overall Very nice app, i just have a few questions regarding it;

Is there a chance your going to be returning back to your horde side in the near future?

Some of your gear is not enchanted and you've used lower lv gems in some of your slots, is this simply because you may not have the gear for very long so theres no point in wasting gold?

best of luck with your application

Hi Gimli

Thank you. No i dont really want to go horde got a little fed up with very young people (ie 13 year olds) rolling horde and thinking they no it all. So far i have not come across that with ally, please dont get me wrong i dont think i know it all either. That said i dont think the horde members are quite up to date with the idea of raiding lol. (also i did not say but thinking about putting my warr on ally side only level 10 however has all the Heirloom gear but might wait till cata comes out for Worgen.

About my gems and enchants i refuse to waste gold at the moment as i dont have much (about 60g to be honest) and have only been playing for 5 days and so far changed 1 item every day so pointless in gemming properly till teir 10.5 i would think, please dont miss interpt my gems as slacking its just a waste of gold if im gearing this quickly i do hope you understand that, this is also the same for my enchants. But as you can see i know what to stack and where to stack it so u can get a rough idea.

But soon shaman class changes (Yet again) i will no longer stack SP and MP5 ill be spirt based same as druid soon. /sigh

oh and Klenz hi yes i did get out lol, but currently still with TA as its well paid part time job as a student lols

Completely understand this, Ive been in the same situation with people asking the same questions.

You mention you can adapt your healing based on the set up of the raid, i know nothing about shamens, but is your pvp resto spec viable for raid healing? is it possible to make it viable if its not? Like i said i have no idea how you guys work, so this might be a matter of changing gem slots? depending on raid setup.

Ahh good. Yes i can adpt well if you wanted me as a tank healer i could use my PVP spec to tank heal (as its a 2v2 spec) but if u want me to raid heal then ill just use my pve spec now. Although i would nto recomend using my pvp spec to tank heal it can be done, but depending on what u want me for? (of course if im accpted) if you want me to tank heal then i will stack more SP and Interlect. If you want me to raid heal then i stack MP5 and Haste (Haste being the primary stat) just look at it like this Tank heal i stack Priests stats raid heal Pally stats (untill new change) Gems make a huge diffrance to shamans being a hybrid spec much the same as Druids.

But this will all depnd on what raid set up you got. If you have a preist and pally healer there is no need for me to pop tank healer. If you have druid and pally ill pop tank healer then. Purley because a priest has alot more healing campabilitys than shammys do bubbles etc what do i have? rip tide and earth sheild. I would love to know your core team set up. Please advise....

Nice application.

Someone should get back to you very soon.

GOOD LUCK

Myself (Holydin, HL speced, so i tank heal) // Holy Priest // Feral Tank // Prot War // Demo Lock // Arc Mage // Retadin // Fury War // Rogue // MM Hunter

We do tend to mix it up based on numbers and people who accept invites, we do have druid healers that can also raid heal.. but it would be good if you are able to mix it up for when I'm away and when we go on to do 25 mans


We are happy to say that we would like offer you a trial in Risen Heros.
Please contact me or any other officer when you are online and we will fix you up

Welcome mate
