Rocktosser - Elemental Shaman.

[Rocktosser]

Hello, Before I start the actuall application I want to take the time to thank you in advance for taking the time to read through it.

Personal Information

My name is Simon Nyström. I am 21 years old and I come from the beautiful country of Sweden. I'm a very outgoing, friendly, social and happy individual who can take a joke aswell as dish them out. I just want to have fun, Whether it be in a video game or out in the so called real world. Which brings me to my interests outside of World of Warcraft. My 4 biggest interests when it comes to real life things is just fiddling with computers, trying to learn more both about the software and hardware. Music,justhanging out with friends having a good time and swimming, which I do 2 times a week.

I currently live at home with my parents seeing as I do not currently have a job. I've been unemployed since December 2014. However, this will not effect my attendance or anything like that. It's just hard to save up money and finding a place in the part of Sweden I live. I am looking to move out as fast as an opportunity presents itself.


Character Information

Armory: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/f ... r/advanced

Logs: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/rankings/c ... 787/latest I realise some of these logs are not the greatest. I do not have a lot of logs unfortunately. But something is better than nothing.

Talents

Tier 1: Astral Shift - 1.5 Min CD with 40 % dmg reduction for 6 sec. I chose this simply because it is the go to talent for shamans. Being able to have an extra 40 % dmg reduction at hand for abilities such as Inferno Slice on Gruul.

Tier 2: Windwalk Totem - Immunity to movement impairing effects for 6 sec 40 yard range. / Earthgrab Totem - 10 Yard effect that roots enemies for 5sec and 50 % slow. These two talents can variate a bit and all depends on the fight at hand. Windwalk Totem on Ko'ragh on his Expel Magic: Frost. Earthgrab Totem for the Volatile anomalies to handle them easier.

Tier 3: Totemic Projection - Relocating your active totems to a specified location. This choice is by far the most optimal talent to go for in this Tier. Allowing yourself to move totems like Windwalk, Earthgrab, HTT and SLT.

Tier 4: Echo of the Elements - Grants Lava Burst and Earthquake an extra charge. After this talent recieved it's changes in the latest major patch it just became a must have for elemental. The 2x Earthquakes is a big buff to our ability to AoE on fights like Darmace on the small adds. And the 2x LvB just lets us control the use more and just overall get more casts off.

Tier 5: Ancestral Guidance - 2 min CD, 20% of the dmg/healing is converted into healing on 3 raid members for 10 sec. Even though this ability got hit hard by the nerf hammer it is still the go to talent in this Tier for elemental/enhance seeing as it can be combined with Ascendance to still put out some decent healing.

Tier 6: Elemental Blast - 12 sec CD, Deal X dmg and increases either your Crit/Multi/Mastery/Haste by 500 for 8 sec. For single target purposes all the talents in this Tier is extremely close to eachother, so it is more of a comfort talent. However, for heavy aoe situations its argueably better to take Primal Elementalist but the difference is very little.

Tier 7: Storm Elemental Totem - 5 min CD, 100% of the damage it deals is turned into healing split evenly, lasts 1 min. / Elemental Fusion - Lava Burst and Lava Lash increase the dmg of the next shock by 40% and can stack 2 times. This last Tier it's between these 2 talents. The Storm Elemental is favored in burst situations and Elemental Fusion is more sustained DPS.


Glyphs

Glyph of Spiritwalker's Focus: Reduces the cooldown of Spiritwalker's Grace by 60 sec. but reduces it's duration by 7 seconds. This is an absolute must for Elemental Shaman seeing as most fights include heavy movement this will be of immense help. This glyph should more or less never be replaced.

Glyph of Lightning shield: When your Lightning Shield is triggered, you take 10% less damage for 6 sec. This a glyph that I personally really like and can be very helpfull especially on fights where there are constant damage or unavoidable damage seeing as it will proc and even though 10% might be a low number it help outs the healers a little aswell.

Glyph Of Chain Lightning: Your Chain Lightning spell now strikes 2 additional targets, but deals 10% less damage. This is the glyph slot which I usually swap around depending on the fight at hand. I will list 2 more glyphs that can take this glyphs place.

Glyph of Fire Elemental Totem: Reduce the cooldown and duration of your Fire Elemental totem by 50%. This is a very situational glyph as it can sometimes be very good to have when you have a situation where you have limited uptime on the boss or a big add for example. But allows you to use it more frequently.

Glyph of Healing Stream Totem: When your Healing Stream Totem heals an ally, it also reduces their Fire, Frost and Nature damage taken by 10% for 6 sec. This is also a glyph thats extremely situational and also comes down to the raid comp. If you have other Shaman(s) that uses this glyph, it might be best to use one of the other more important glyphs.


Raiding/Guild Experience

The Burning Crusade

Guild: Nox Eternus
Character: Pomta 70 Hunter.

Gruul's Lair: 2/2
Karazhan: 11/11 + Animal boss
Magtheridon's Lair: 1/1
Serpentshrine Cavern: 4/6
Tempest Keep: 3/4
Hyjal Summit: 5/5
The Black Temple: 6/9
Sunwell Plateau: 0/6 I had to go on a break as sunwell was released due to IRL issues and it resulted in me not getting anything done in there while it was current.

The reason why I eventually left Nox Eternus is because they merged into another guild when wrath came and I did not feel like merging with them for several personal reasons.

Wrath of the Lich King

Guild: Trust - Soapbox Syndrome - Adeo Victoria.
Character: Slira 80 Druid - Mördarmalin 80 Paladin.

Naxxramas: 10/25 Man - 15/15
The Eye of Eternity: 10/25 Man - 1/1
Vault of Archavon: 10/25 Man - 4/4
The Obsidian Sanctum: 10/25 Man - 3 drake
Onyxia's Lair: 10/25 Man - 1/1
Ulduar: 10/25 Man - 0/14
Trial of the Crusader: 10/25 Man HC - 4/5
Icecrown Citadel: 10/25 Man HC - 12/12 - 11/12
The Ruby Sanctum: 10/25 Man HC - 0/1

I left Trust when me and a couple of good friends from the guild decided to form Adeo Victoria and eventually they ended up not playing the game after awhile so thats when I joined Soapbox Syndrome but ended up not feeling comfortable in there so I had to part ways with them as Cataclysm was released.

Cataclysm

Guild: Driven
Character: Valrossen 85 Mage - Rocktosser 85 Shaman (I do not remember what the toon was called back then.)

The Bastion of Twilight: 3/5 HC
The Blackwing Descent: 5/6 HC
Throne of the Four Winds: 2/2 HC
Firelands: I believe I managed to get 6/7 HC. I am not 100 % sure.
Dragon Soul: 6/8 HC


Mist of Pandaria

Guild: Driven - Almost Famous
Character: Rocktosser 90 Shaman

Mogu'shan Vaults: 5/6 HC
Heart of Fear: 5/6 HC
Terrace of Endless Spring: 3/4 HC
Throne of Thunder: 10/13 HC
Siege of Orgrimmar: 13/14 Pre 6.0 14/14 on the release of 6.0

In the middle of the expansion there was a big fight amongst officers and guild members of Driven and during that time I had been talking to Monkfish - The GM of Almost Famous for awhile and when Driven ended up dying I took the decision to apply and join Almost Famous.


Warlords of Draenor

Guild: Almost Famous - ID
Character: Rocktosser 100 Shaman

Highmaul: 3/7 M with some experience on Brackenspore / Tectus.
Blackrock Foundry: 9/10 HC

I started off the expansion with Almost Famous but after awhile in Highmaul Mythic there were some things that happened and things said that made me take the decision to have a break untill BRF Came out. Thats when I got an offer to help out my friends guild called ID which I killed the 9/10 HC with. However, After being replaced on on BH and on mythic raids without 1 single word from the RL/GM/Officer as to why I was being replaced. Since I did not mess anything up it started to get on my nerves and that happend 6 or 7 times. So i just took the decision to leave the guild. not on bad terms though. But that just wasn't a place for me. I do not want this to look like I am talkign shit about them because I am not. I'm just telling it as it happened. There are a bunch of nice people.


Other Information

First off in this "Other Information" part. I just want to apologize if the whole thing came out as a wall of Text.

Secondly, Even though I applied as Elemental Shaman. I am very flexible. I have a lot of alts that I could reroll to on demand and get it geared within 1-2 weeks ish depending on RNG ofc. So If there is a specific class thats needed I am open to rerolling.

Thank you guys a lot for taking the time to read through this entire thing and giving me the opportunity to apply. I'll be checking in now and then, but the easiest way to get a hand of me is via Btag: zezzo#2616 or my skype: gaggatheman.
