Hi! I've stumbled on to this forum while looking for FCs in the FFXIVRecruitment subreddit (as did many others, I'm sure). Unfortunately, I'm not a class that required for the raid group (MNK ilvl 92 and WAR ilvl 85), but I don't mind laying low for a bit!
I've stopped playing FFXIV after the 2.1 patch, reason being that my old FC disbanded because Twintania is a giant homewrecker. That, and some people couldn't make the scheduling and/or found other statics and moved on. The content got a bit stale and I had no reason to keep going since no group I joined could clear out T5. But hey, I'm back now!
For future raiding considerations, I strongly believe these are my strong points:
- Able to learn very quick. I do my research on fights beforehand and read up on it. Once the group wipes a few times, it stays locked in my head. I try to make sure I'm not a liability to the group.
- Showing up on time and prepped with food/pots to maximize progression time.
- Mature, and easy to get along with. I don't like getting into conflicts and rather just enjoy some jolly cooperation with a close group.
A bit about me:
- I'm 22, I work as a lab tech in an eye donation place (human eyeballs!), and I live in NYC.
- I used to play WoW like my life depended on it in high school. I started from vanilla and cleared most of the raids until I quit in Cataclysm around the Firelands patch. My raiding experience is (sadly) extensive.
- Besides having a passion for gaming, I have a passion for working out. I first started at a gym, but quickly got tired of the meatheads there, so I took up kickboxing. I now practice Mixed Martial Arts and have won a few grappling tournaments.
That's all I can think of for now. I look forward to getting to know/raiding with you all one day!
