Tell us about your gaming history...

3. What previous and current MMO's have you/do you play? Currently, the only MMO that I play is WOW. In the recent past I tried out Rift to level 37 and a little bit of Age of Conan/Guild wars.

4. Describe what makes a good gamer, in your opinion: To me, a good gamer is someone who tries their best and follows instructions that are bestowed upon them by the group leader. Following the guild/raids rules is also a vital part in making a good gamer (having addons essential for raiding and mumble/vent).

5. On a scale of 1 to 10 tell us how good a gamer are you, and why? I generally do what I am asked of and sometimes go above and beyond given the circumstances. I try to stay optimistic and in a good mood even after a night of wiping 25 times to the same boss. Having to rate myself, I would go with an 8.5

6. Have you been in any other guilds, specifically in WoW and on Farstriders? How about in other games or on other servers? Which? Why did you, or why are you leaving them? My Priest is currently in Eye Candy and my DK is in Conclave of Shadows. Pre-firelands my priest was on Executus in Eye Candy. We migrated to Farstriders to be more casual after a majority of the guild took a 4 month break.

7. What do you like to do with your time in WoW? Dungeons Dungeons DUNGEONS! and also raids.

Talk to us about Natural Order...

8. How did you hear about Natural Order? The Farstrider forums sent me on over here when I was in search of a home for my Paladin.

9. Is there a current member of Natural Order who could reference you in a good or bad way? (Who?) Ikuri (psst boots)

10. Have you read all of the posts in the About Natural Order section of the forum? (this is very important to us) Yes

11. What are your expectations? What do you think you will gain from joining Natural Order, and why are you applying? I am hoping to make new friends, socialize and run dungeons with people.

12. What do you think you can bring to the guild? Why are we going to be happy you joined us? I can bring what I am hoping to be a pretty good Paladin to the guild. I will also be able to help with potential raiding questions or strats that may come up for current and future content.

13. If you are interested in 25 man raiding with us, what are your available nights and times for 25 man raids? I am not generally interested in applying for a raid position. If I happen to be online and you are short a body then that would be a different case.

14. If you are interested in raiding with us, are you willing to build a secondary set on this character, and respec as necessary (generally to dps) if the raid needs it, without bitching excessively? Not interested much in raiding but I will have a Prot and Ret spec.

Tell us about you...

15. Do you meet our age requirement?Yes

16. How old are you, if you don't mind us asking? 26

17. If we had a party in real life, what would you bring? Definately booze

22. Pick one: Moist or Cornbread. Moist, everything is better wet.

23. Are you married? Not for another like 5 years maybe 10

The app looks good, though #36 is not correct (I told you we were tricksy!)

 

I know you play a Disc Priest as a main, and that's my main as well. What do you think of Disc Priest healing in FL? Do you run as Atonement spec? What do you like best about playing Disc? What do you like least?

What's been your favorite raid encounter in Cata so far? If you had to explain a strat to use on heroic Shannox, what strat would you suggest?

You mentioned socializing - one thing that I'm always curious about with new people who join NO for socialization is how they intend to foster socialization with their new guildmates. People in NO can be really awesome, funny and friendly; some of have been together for a long time and are even friends outside of the game. For a new person coming in, that level of familiarity among guildies can seem cliqiush and intimidating (even though it's not intended to.) Are you the type that might have a hard time fitting in at first, and needs to ease in slowly? Or do you jump in with both feet and immediately start injecting yourself into the guild culture?

 

Personally, I enjoy healing

Personally, I enjoy healing as Discipline a lot in FL.  I do not run as Atonement spec, however, I have dabbled with it a few times on various FL bosses and found it not very effective (for 10man content that is).  I can't really complain about Discipline healing at all since I like it a lot.

My favorite raid encounter so far in Cata would have to be regular Ragnaros.  The fight was rather and enjoyable and took a long time to figure out the mechanics enough to kill him. For killing Heroic Shannox I would recommend a relatively simple strategy.  Have all DPS on Shannox and just burn him. Tanks don't necessarily need to drop stacks unless they get over ~10 stacks.  Pretty much as long as the tanks drop their stacks once or twice during the fight (which is done exactly how they do during regular) then it should be fine.  When you push Shannox past 30% you want to pop hero and tank Riplimb a little closer to Shannox for better healing access.  Assign 1 or 2 DPS to just sit on Rageface and quickly and efficiently kite Rageface over Ice Traps and to break Face Rage instantaneously.  Raid members need to make sure they are not standing near Immolation traps to prevent Rageface from getting immune to being Ice Trapped.

I Would probably ease in slowly, mainly because I am not quite sure how much that I will be on my hordie at this time.  Hopefully I will log in and find others that would like to do dungeons etc though with ease.

Groovy

Things look good, and I'm sure I'll be picking your brain more about Disc-y type stuff. Contact someone for an invite and welcome aboard!
