Real Name: Tanja
Age: 35
Location: Finland, Jyväskylä
I'm an unemployed house builder, occupied by a 5y old son. No man interrupting my gaming. Nearby future plans are getting some more education and getting a job, since it's not healthy just to play WoW, almost like it's a job

I've been playing WoW for about 3,5y now. I started with a rogue in a different server, as alliance. My RL friends lured me to Defias Brotherhood, at first I was a bit rebel and rolled a human warrior, but not long after that I found it boring, deleted it and rolled this toon I'm applying with. I've been playing this char for over 2 years now, always as a retadin, I guess I'm a big ret lover

At first only pvp, but then I got bored with all pvp:ing and started raiding, around a year ago or so.
You can count on me being a trustworthy player, with decent dps, and using brain in the game. I learn tactics relatively quickly, and if I feel I don't get something, I ask. I'm always prepared with flasks, food and reagents, and I usually sign up on every raid and always show up in time. I'm a very active player.

Armory Profilehttp://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Defias+Brotherhood&cn=Lj%C3%BAsAtm I'm overcapped with hit, I'm gonna fix it with the new items. I was thinking about replacing the neck with Infected Choker (
http://eu.wowarmory.com/item-info.xml?i=51012). That would fix the expertise too and I'd get rid of the expertise glyph. I'm also replacing the other trinket (the good old Mirror of Truth) with Herkumi Wartoken in a few days. Also planning to get rid of the ArP items when I'm lucky enough to get decent drops to replace them.
Guild History (starting with newer ones)
No Drama/Temporary SolutionBoth basicly the same guild, exception the different leader. Got broke/disbanded not long after it started. Was focusing on 10 man top end raiding.
The NephilimNice and cozy, 10/25 man casual raiding guild. Was my home for some time. Left because I felt I want a step more ”hard core” and less casual raiding.
SélaviAnother nice and cozy casual raiding guild. Got disbanded because of the inactiveness during the summer holiday spirit and a loss of members.
Dark HourA small and nice pvp guild. I left because of the inactiveness of the guild, and I wanted to join for a raiding guild.
Reasons for applying The Secret SocietyI'm guildless atm and looking for a new home. I've got some friends in the guild and I've heard a lot of good stuff about you. The social and friendly atmosphere is as important to me as nice progress. Your progress with raiding is good and I'd really much like to join for a successful guild like yours. I enjoy the most when getting nice progress and having fun and good laughs the same time. I want to have ”a long term relationship” with the guild, I really don't like hopping from a guild to another.
Playing HoursI'm usually available every night after 18:30-19 until 00 server time. At daytime and mornings I might be online doing dailys and other stuff.
Mainspecc, Rotations, PlaystyleRetribution. My dps rotation varies a bit, depending on the boss and adds and groups. As a ret, it's basicly FCFS rotation, prioritising the most effective and strongest abilities. Atm the most effective basic rotation with my gear and items and proccs against single target boss is JoW>DS>CS>HoW>Conse>exo (this is based on my own testing on a dummy, and in raiding).
Against a group of (ud)mobs I add Holy Wrath to rotation and prioritise aoe abilities higher. Raiding addons: DBM, Omen3, Bartender, Recount, Pallypower, Grid (I like to keep things clean and simple) Have been using ventrilo.
Raiding ExperienceLike I mentioned above, I started raiding in WotLK. I've done all vanilla and some tBC raids afterwards, check achis if you feel interest.
tBC:
-Kara
WotLK:
-Ony 10,25
-OS103d,OS25
-Malygos 10,25
-Naxx 10,25 all bosses
-Uld 10 all except Algalon, missing some bosses with 25
-TotC 10, 25 all bosses
-TotGC 10 all, 49 attempts left
-ICC10 10/12, Sindragosa at 3%
-ICC25 the first wing
10 vs 25 man raidingI enjoy highly on both. I've been focusing more on 10 mans lately, but I want to do 25:s aswell. The thing I like with 10 man raiding is that individuals are more important there than with 25 man raiding, and I feel nice pressure in 10 mans to do things right. With 25:s I feel a bit more relaxed, for the same reason

I hope you get my point, my english is a bit rubbish sometimes
ReferencesI haven't been raiding with many of you, only with Jormungand I think, and it's been a long time ago, so none of you can say really much about my raiding skills nowadays. I ask Jormu, Raona, Fenegol and Saphireye for a social vouch.
-Feel free to ask me questions if I forgot something, in here or ingame. Cheers, and I hope to hear from you soon
