Arcane Mage - Ceepa

:::Make a short but informative presentation of the character with whom you are applying.

My Name is Ceepa (Simon IRL). I'm going to turn 25 in may so I hope my age will not make a problem ohhh yes and I'm from Denmark - Copenhagen
The char I'm signing up for duty with is my Arcane mage - Ceepa (probs to avaru! I forgot! Yes I am a gnome ) which I've been playing on since vanilla. Call my lazy or something but I seriously don't have  the concentraton for lvling other chars. I do have 3 around lvl 40 or so... but I've kinda abandoned them...
Anyways! Back to Ceepa – He’s ICC25/ICC10 geared. Avg Ilvl at 255. I’m running ICC 10 with Avaru, Glalyn, Lynceus and Gadawin… all people who is either in Bote or has applied. I’ve been away skiing for a week but before I left we went 10/12 in there so I got experience in the fights in ICC

:::Link a screenshot of your UI as it appears during a RAID (link, NOT embedded image)

call me a noob but I don’t know how? xD
However I’m using X-perl, DBM, Bartender, recount and some small stuff not worth mentioning ohh! And Omen ofc

:::What type of computer do you have and what are the core specs, and your average framerate?)

The computer specifics is as followed - AMD turion Dualcore 2.5GHz - 2K mem
Graphics - NVidia GeForce 8400M GS
My avg framerate outside Dalaran bank depending of time of the day is 20-40fps

:::Talent build i.e. X/X/X. Please include a discussion about its strengths and weaknesses.

I’m currently running with 2x Arcane specs… one with only Precision and one with both Precision and Arcane Focus… I’m using the one with Precision only, only in Heroics due to the hit cap issues and the other with both Focus and Prec for raids so I can spend my gold on haste/SP gems instead of gems with Hit-rating which optimizes the dmg output


:::Do you have The Ashen Verdict / Astral Walker / Starcaller or any other notable titles? (Not necessary for social applicants)

Yes I do have the Ashen Verdict… and I’ve done all hardmodes in UD10 except Yogg/Al
I also have 3D both 10man and 25man

 
:::What is your current glyph set up? Please explain why you have chosen these glyphs.

My current glyphs are:
Glyph of Arcane Missiles
Glyph of Arcane Blast
Glyph of Molten Armor
Glyph of the Frostward, Fireward and Arcane Intellect

:::Are you open for constructive critisism regarding the way you have spent your talent points? Do you follow theorycrafting regarding your class? Would you consider respeccing for another raid role? Please discuss these questions in your answer.

Constructive criticism? Yes ofc! It’s one of the main reasons for me playing wow.. To optimize my game play as much as I can and see some end-game content dead!

:::Please discuss your current gear set up and the theory behind it (If there's a theory at all). What is your average dps in heroic/raids? How would you choose to gear your character to maximize your damage/healing/tps output / or survival?

The things I’m working on are haste, SP and Crit atm…! I’m nearly hitcapped depending on which specc I’m using… the one with prec AND Focus or only Prec… both in raids and only Prec in heroics.
My dps in heroics (boss fights) = 9.5K dps.. If I really push it!
My dps in raids (Boss fights) = around 6K-7K.. Depending on the mechanics it CAN rise to 8-10K (Twins etc.)

:::Will you be able to keep up with the minimum attendancy requirement of signing up for 2 out of 3 raids per week? (Raid days are: tuesday, thursday and sunday)

Yes I will! WITH exceptions of course

:::Please summarize your raiding experience in WoW. Suggestion of things to include are guilds, reason for leaving them and what dungeons you have experience from.

I’ve been raiding since Vanilla… Cleared BWL, MC AQ and what not… TBC I saw it all aswell. (some at lvl80 ) WotLK I’ve seen all except Al in UD and LK in ICC10… ICC25 = 4/12… don’t ask me why…

:::What are your views, in general, on loot and the way it should be distributed? In your opinion, what is the purpose of gear?

Well.. Depending on the loot system… but imho it should be given to the person with the most use of it! And if that comes down to a druid needing on a cloth item since it’s way better than his leather then I’m fine with it! Loot is just a means to the end… except for Dedicated TogC

:::Have you read our guild- and raid rules and do you agree with them? Is there anything that you are uncertain of or have questions about?

Yes I totally agree
 
:::Who is the person behind the screen? Do you have a life? Give us some basic facts about yourself.:::

as I said early in my application… I’m 25 nearly) man coming from Denmark – Copenhagen… Name is Simon. I’m living with my GF in a flat we’ve been together for 4 years and then some… She will take some of my time ofc… but not all! We have an agreement of me raiding xD

:::Do you have a reliable internet connection or do you tend to d/c frequently? Tell us the truth, we will notice eventually. Are there any other things that might occassionally prevent you from raiding? (Girlfriend, mother, obesity etc.)

Yes my connection is reliable.. well shit CAN happen.. but rarely! 1-3 times a year perhaps.

:::How did you hear about BotE and do you know anyone in the guild who would vouch for you? What are your expectations of the guild?

I heard about Bote from Avaru… Tree guy.. he’s with you! Been doing insanity runs in TogC10, ICC  11/12 and UD10 hard modes with him… Also from Glalyn… You seem to be a very nice guild that is working together, have humor and do your jobs accordingly to planned… I would like to be a part of this gang of end-game content killers

:::Why should you be a member of BotE? What can you offer us that others can't?

I’m funny… I’m Kind… I’m a good player and I’m prepared for anything coming raid nights… I read up on tactics the day before a raid or ON the day and keep it in mind till raid starts and do my best to follow the lead of the raid and do my job…

Ofc there will always be someone that can beat me on the dps/dmg done meter tactic knowing etc etc… but if you give me a chance of joining you I won’t disappoint…

He totally forgot to mention that he's a gnome and thus can be sacrificed if needed. A bonus!

haha! oops! forgot about that xD ys I'm a gnome

Hi Ceepa.

First of all welcome to the forum

I dont really have a lot  to point fingers at since playing arcane differs alot from player to player, and most specs (played right ofc) is quite equal on dps/dmg.

But i do however wanna point out for ya, the two points in Frost warding, is a nice mana boost in some fights, but really not worth the points without Incanters absorption aswell.
You could instead use the two points in Ice shards instead, witch would inc your blizzards dps with a few hundred.

Its been a while since ive been on one of Avarus Ulduar runs, but i think ive been on a few, where you have been there aswell and you seem like a guy who know what he is doing.

My 5 cents, good luck on your app. Im sure an Officer will get back to ya asap

/Nymph

I was sure I missed something! I just respecced last night... and I forgot about the shards -.- xD I'm gonna fix it after this heroic I'm doing atm

But again bear in mind that Incanters will be changes next patch

Yeah! I know! I'll look into it when the patch launches

Howdy Ceepa. We're kinda busy at the moment but hopefully we can have a discussion about your app this weekend. We'll get back to you as soon as we've talked it over.

thanks for taking your time! I'd rather you do your best on looking into my Application instead of just rushing it i'm looking for a new home atm and I want it to be right...!

I got work and stuff this weekend, so I'm going to check back here at sunday or monday evening Have a nice weekend and do(n't) drink too much alchohol

/Ceep

//Out

Good to see you here, Ceep!

I do not know that much of raiding arcane mages, but when it comes to general behavoir and knowledge of WoW this guy is tip top! If there's something he doesn't know he finds out!
He is' def worth at least a trial!
