Which guilds have you previously been in and why did you leave? No offensive comments please.
I was GM in the guild and we splited up after we reach our goels. I went too new server and ended here on nordrasil.

Tell us about your previous raid experience-include whether this experience is on the Toon you are applying on.
I played wow for 6 years now and leveld mage,warlock,druid tank,and my last big character my shammy. I been around seens wow,bc,lich. I havent level any profession on my shammy because i love the raiding part and my priest do the buisness on this server bellix and my warlock is on this server and they have 450 in all profession and making good bread as too say on AH.

Tell us about the real you.
Well i am from sweden living close too stockholm. Going last term on university writing my mba degree and are finished in june 2010.
Live with my girlfrend and 2 children.

What are you going to bring to the guild?
I bring mature humor and a good laugh. The game is all about having fun and too feel team spirit with a good team in 10 man and 25.

Why did you pick us over any of the other guilds on the server? What do you expect from Prepared?
Well i done some heroic with your dps and tanks, good player that play there class very good. Spoken for first time today with canonball
So i made an aplication and hope that you need an healer for you 10 and 25 team.

What's going to happen the first time you don't get picked for a raid?
Probely open a beer and doing some buisness on AH too robe some kids hehehehe na if i am noot needed there is np probely open some boring science books and just relaxing instead

Tell us about your spec. Why did you pick it, would you change it?
I am resto shammy. Working with my rotation and spaming chain heal with riptide 3 stack plus trinket and ofc es on tankadin all time on the pulls. Flash heal is the big S buttom with the big heals on the tanks when needed and the totem every 4 minutes.Totems depends on the fight ability for the fight and how many shaman we have in raid

Do you know anyone in Prepared who would be able to vouch for you both as a player and as a person? (We will check!)
well spoken with the canonball nice guy he seems

Bonus Question 1: 1. What are your ambitions in WotLK and WoW in general?
Down lich as so far that he noot get up and ofc just have fun run some heroic and lich raids probely we go for heroic mode whne lich is done in normal

Bonus Question 2: 2. What would you do if we stopped raiding for 2 weeks?
Open more beer and probely try to gear some alts and help out guild were it is needed.

Bonus Question 3: 3. The Simpsons or Family Guy?
I am probely both because of my life experience


Yes, I have read and accepted Prepared guild rules.

Hello Chris and welcome to the boards


Giant facepalm! xD

I went to the trouble of search your shammy on armory just to check if it was some sort of error or misspelling but it's not.


One part of raiding is closely related with our professions, since we can gain from it. If you pick the best professions for your role in a raid you can gain alot from it. Win/win situation.

You have blacksmith and jewelcrafting, if you actually had then at 450 (max until Cataclysm) you would be able to get 2 extra gem sockets - wrists and gloves - from Blacksmith and 3 "empowered" gems you could put into your gear from Jewelcrafting.

So if I do some maths (as you can see I'm really bored at the moment), and for the looks you like to stack haste gems, 3 special haste JC gems each with 34haste will represent effectively 42haste:

(3x34) - (3x20) = 42 haste

NOTE: 3*20 represent 3 gems of 20 haste that I'm subtracting so you can see the extra haste you would gain from the new gems you would replace with.

Now we can add the 2 extra gem socket you would have in your wrists and gloves from blacksmith which would be socketed with 2 gems of 20haste:


42+(2x20)=82 haste


I have no idea if it's good or not to stack haste, you could put whatever gem you would like but as you can see, professions, capped to the max, are very important if you want to raid.

Oh almost forgot, your belt has 2 sockets by default. Did you know you can have an extra socket? Just ask a blacksmith to make a [Eternal Belt Buckle]or buy one on the AH. So let's add another gem with 20haste to it:

82+20=102

At the moment you have 760 haste, with all of this you would have 862 haste. If haste is indeed important for a resto shaman then you have to reconsider your thoughts about raiding and professions.

One last thing, all this extra sockets are prismatic socket, which means, you can put whatever gem, color, size, shape, etc. doesn't matter and won't effect any socket bonus from your gear if you want them to proc from right color gems.


After the wall of text I hope you do have the intention to level up whatever professions you would fit better to your raiding role, either the current ones, or any others that might server your class or spec better.

I will let the healers poke you now

Good luck!


PS: Since I had the trouble to search your armory I also putted the missing link in your application.


Edit: Thanks Chris! Corrected now

I'd like to point out the epic fail in Bruno's maths. (or maybe just a typo on one of the numbers)

760 + 102 = 862 (not 802)

Good luck with the App though Chris.

Thanks for the link Bruno

Spec-you have some rather odd talent points-why did you take 3 points in enhancing totems?

Gems-you've gemmed only for haste, which yes is a good stat to have, but you're spell power is rather on the low side. You only have 2624 spell power.

Glyphs-you're major glyphs are all fine, but why have you taken Glyph of Lesser Healing Wave? It's only beneficial if you heal the tank, which shammies don't really do. Also, why have you taken Glyph of Thunderstorm for your minor?

As Bruno has pointed out, if you leveled up blacksmithing, you could have an extra socket on your gloves and wrists, and you're missing a belt buckle.

Extra Question-which do you think is the better use of talent points and why-Healing Way or Elemental Weapons?

Good Luck with the app.

Well i chewcked the belt out and as I can see i already have the ethernal bucklet belt puted in taht belt it only have 1 gem slot when you get it http://www.wowhead.com/?item=46990
i think you were meaning the 25 man drop belt with same name but that belt i dont have http://www.wowhead.com/?item=46991
tehre is 2 different belt with same name
//frejfaxe

And littel correction about my spell power with shammybuffs -totem-flask-food i am upp too 3100 in spell power so that is different from 2600
About spec well i am up for trying any new spec that is better then the one i tested
//frejfaxe

Still waiting on some replies

But in ur app. u said u could attend Weds, Sun, Mon. Could u reliably attend these raids? from 20:00-00:00 ST

Hi there,
yes i can attend 3 off 4 raid days for sure. Sometimes i will be abel too join all day but 3 days for sure
//frejfaxe

My god thats a big list of addons. But for your healing are you using healbot or grid?

Having both seems a bit of an overkill to me, as a good configured healbot can show you just as much as grid can and vice versa (i think).

Yeah it is long list i made my own ui for bars and so on. I use the best from both setups

Hi Chris, do you have a viable dps off-spec and how would you feel about playing dps sometimes?

Ellow, yes can dps too sometimes

Hey Chris

Give me a /w in game if I don't get to you first
