Lambs Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Hello, my name is Patrick and I'm 27. I've recently started looking to join a raiding guild again after taking a break for most of WotLK. I was an active raider for most of vanilla and Burning Crusade but due to schedule conflicts I just had to put the game aside for the last 18 months. With the release of Cataclysm and a lot more free evening time on my hands I came back for some end game action. After narrowing it down to a few guilds it seems that SoH is a good fit. I love raiding and it's the aspect of the game that keeps me coming back every day. I also very much enjoy some casual PvP but it has never been my focus. I'm a reliable player, I'll be on time with consumables ready and I do enough research to gear up properly. Rogue has been my class of choice for the better part of my WoW career so far. I consider myself a very active player and I like running old content for rep, mounts and achievements whenever I'm not busy elsewhere. So far I've been part of a Cho'gall kill and some Nefarian attempts as a member of a previous 25 man guild, but I ultimately decided to find a 10 man raid environment for this expansion. Armory link: http://us.battle.net.../lambs/advanced I'll be happy to answer any question you may have. Looking forward to talk to you in game.

Malthas Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Welcome to the forums! What draws you to a 10 man guild over a 25 man? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashin Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Well this sounds like a terrific fit for us so far. Could you link your character for us, so we can have a look? I'll be online tonight and I've PM'd you my Real ID. We can also go back and forth here on the boards - I am basically on them 24/7. Thanks for your app, and look forward to chatting.

Ashin Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 That is an interesting pattern of kills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambs Posted February 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 I'm sorry I forgot the armory link, it's now edited in the first post. As to why I'm more interested in 10 man raids, there are a few reasons. A smaller group generally means you can get to know people a bit better so it doesn't feel like you're playing with a bunch of strangers. It also puts even more emphasis on individual performance so you can't really get carried by the other 20+ people in the group. Certain 10 man encounters also feel a lot less tedious (not necessarily easier) since you don't have to worry about positioning as much which makes focusing on your actual rotation or important boss mechanics less stressful. Of course the opposite is also true, some 10 man fights are simply harder in some cases. Spreading out interrupts on adds can be a pain depending on the group setup and heavy raid damage is more taxing since you can't rely on a AoE heals as much. I think it's a more enjoyable experience overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashin Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Had a great time grouping with Lambs and decided to invite him to the guild. Welcome aboard! Please review sticky threads in wow chapter policy and guild policy. In particular, be sure to read and sign off on Code of Conduct in Guild Policy and get Teamspeak set up - we use that instead of vent.
