About me
I will be playing a Devoted Cleric, with healing being its focus. If another class is released with a similar role, I may transition to that class but I will not get it to 60 and then instantly expect to be doing the hardest content in the game. I will be creating either a Great Weapon Fighter or a Trickster Rogue to play when I need a break from being serious, and I will want these in your guild; you’re my community now, I want to still be able to talk to you when I’m goofing around.

I PvP for fun, to acquire gear that benefits progression, and because I believe that PvP helps in mastering your class; I will probably spend a lot of time doing it. You do not need to PvP with me; you don’t even need to like PvP. I have found that I am able to find small PvP communities that will welcome me despite never having talked to them before and not wanting to join their guild. So, PvP is a thing I do but you are under no pressure to do it. I take it seriously, so if you decide to join me please do as well.

I have progression experience, which will be covered in a later section.

Professionally, I am an internal applications developer. My job is stable, and I work regular hours with the occasional need to connect briefly to the network to perform or monitor off-peak deployment of applications. Between sleep and work, I am unavailable 00:00 to 16:00 Monday to Friday.

I’m a one-MMO kind of person, but between MMOs or when I’m not playing them I enjoy Defense of the Ancients which I try to play casually but get far too serious about. Aside from video games, my hobbies are television and reading books (fantasy, science fiction, mystery, economics, and programming/computer science theory). If I’m logged in but just standing around doing nothing, I’m probably actually doing one of those.

My Friday evenings are erratic, sometimes I go out and sometimes I don’t; so while I may be available on some Fridays, you should not plan on me being available consistently.


About you
You are a reasonable sized guild (less than 30 players), and have been looking to add a healer to your community. Your leadership has progression experience, though not necessarily leadership progression experience. Your membership has progression experience or understands that progression is requires focus and deep understanding of their class (or ability implement the guidance those who do).

You expect to have members on during normal Easter Time raiding hours (i.e.: the 19:00 to 00:00 range) to do progression content, and you expect to have members on for more than just raiding, because you enjoy the game and interacting with your guild-mates.

You don’t role play, or you don’t care if some jerk refuses to role play.

You don’t mind alts being in your guild, because you understand that members might want to interact with you even if they aren’t on their main character and playing with you.


Progression experience
My first progression experience was World of Warcraft. I played a Mage in vanilla, raiding MC, BWL, and up to Twin Emps in AQ40. Once MC and BWL were on farm, I had the opportunity to take my warrior there, where I was mostly DPS except when a fight required more than 2 tanks.

Somewhere around the end of our BWL progression or the start of AQ40 progression I grew tired of the Mage (though obviously continued to attend using him), and when Burning Crusade came the Mage was left to wallow in obscurity. I can’t recall if my Warrior or my Druid got levelled first, since it was in rapic succession, but I ended up choosing the druid for end game raiding as a healer. My time in SSC and TK wasn’t exactly challenging, since I joined a guild that had already completed them; the final bosses being exceptions since they can be quite hectic. Fortunately, I got to progress with them in Mount Hyjal and BT. Sadly, we didn’t progress in SWP, and when the zone got nerfed I decided to stop raiding; I really didn’t mind wiping for hours every night while DPS tried to get their numbers up, but rolling over easy content isn’t something I enjoy. For what it’s worth, my Druid was generally at or near the top of the healing charts in both BC and the little WotLK raiding I did.

During that time, I never had formal responsibilities, but was asked to speak with other healers who were having performance issues and we fixed those.

My second progression experience was Star Wars: The Old Republic, where I played a Sith Inquisitor. We did Nightmare versions of the first two raids, and got up to the tanks on 16-man hard of the third raid, but did not get past it for over a month since DPS couldn’t beat the enrage timer; we did clear 8-man hard, since some of the DPS were quite good. We stopped raiding shortly before server mergers due to low attendance, and I stopped playing once they were merged.
