How did you hear about Inner Sanctum: wow-progress ftw!

Why Inner Sanctum and why should we accept YOU: I believe I perform well, I am not a negative character, and I understand that you have a reputation to uphold. So do I. I act friendly and warm with almost everyone I meet. If I am in your guild, it will be easier to scam Silvermoon people (IM KIDDING!)

My logs could have been in the orange percentiles, but 2 factors hindered me here.

1: A misunderstanding of how to handle the rage generation before every Battle Cry, which would have been a clean 2-3% higher pecentage on every fight, maybe abit more. My fault yes, but the reason I did not realise this was because of the second reason.

2: Unstable Internet. I had suffered from this almost the whole of Antorus. Every boss was doable, except for Argus, where I had to get benched. The problem wasnt the cones or blights. You can premove for those, unless you get a bad spike. The problem was the Rage Debuff, where 1 sec delay in movement (yes it was that bad) would mean you would always be getting an extra stack. Phase 3 was the easiest in this regard. It was easier to shift out right before the Debuffs came, and start moving towards the melee again the moment they were incoming. If you get fear, carry on moving, and you will only get 1 stack. If you get rage, just stop and everything is alright. When it got even worse, it became impossible to survive in P1.

This is why I did not find a new raiding guild when mine disbanded in April (consequently, having to buy the Mythic Mount for 6 million). I had phoned in countless of times, generated new accounts with different ISPs, and it turned out, after lots of struggle, phone calls and email attempts, (6 year olds can perform better in an IQ test than phone support in South Africa), that it was Telkoms Line Exchange (1 Government tied company owns all the lines here. ISPs just rent those lines) I started a Heroic Boosting group 2 or 3 months later, and pretty much started realising that my Internet was fine in peak hours.

The thing is, I will do everything that is in my power to make sure that I can not only raid, but also perform well. Ive been raiding for many years, and its part of me really. I even got a UPS + generator for the 1-2 hour power cuts in winter!

Do I know anyone from Inner Sanctum: Unfortunately not

What do you expect from raiding in Inner Sanctum: I would like a stable and nice raiding environment. Nice and easy, everyone wants to kill the boss. We practice, we put our focus into mechanics, and depending on the difficulty, we kill it when the time comes. Calm = Better performance! We all love shiny gear! The random whispers about our ilvl. We all most certainly love that final boss mount! Even if it is a horrific combination of innocent flesh & soul into 1 deformed beast...

Do you have a microphone and are you willing to use it during raids: Yup!

Can you attend all of our raid times listed in the rules: I expect to miss maybe 1 raid per 5 weeks or so.

How much do you play outside of raiding times: Too much...

How would you describe yourself as a raider: Socially wise, clumsy. Come to think of it, me being myself can make 19 other people laugh, and the moment I actually try to be funny I can kill a discussion instantly. When the raidleader requests something from me in a raid or kill, I like to give a quick and clear answer because I understand that they are accounting for alot of things. I am on the warrior Discord for rotational information and I am using Simulationcraft for gear stats.

Real life info

Name: Nick
Age: 32
Location: South Africa
Info about you and what you do when not playing WoW: Not much this last year to be honest. Maybe for a date with some chick, until you figure out theyre lazy AF, and then they rely on you 100% to entertain them yet their tone starts demeaning you when youre "playing that stupid game again", and then a week later you gotta explain to her daddy which is 3 times your size why you thought it was a good idea to send her a message along the lines of "Wanna see a magic trick??" "**poof** Youre single again lol" and something about a shotgun or some crap. Dunno, cant understand Afrikaans that well..


You're free to add extra information if you feel like it!

Thats about it! I have been playing Warrior since forever and I pvp alot too! In Season 2 of Legion, no one wanted a warrior for RBGs, so instead i built my own team from the ground up, we reached 2480 cr/ 2550 mmr and gave some of the best teams a run for their money. The trick was simple, the RBG community is an extremely toxic one, so it was about finding people who had the right mix of skill and calm/patience. We were the only team where raging was not allowed. I tend to try see things from a different angle, sometimes people laugh at me and sometimes i come up with something valuable.

Thanks for reading!

I remember South African internet. One of my old officers had it. Horrible.

Considering app.

Oh, its improved alot over the years! During Wrath/Cataclysm it was 300-400 ms stable, and right now its half that (soon Fibre will be an option for me too). Spellqueuewindowlatency Macro for 0.2 sec delay = perfect! Infact the moment you play from Europe with like 20 ms again, you need time to adjust your reflexes

Accepted for trial after discussion between officers. Whisper any officer in game and you will be given an invite.

Emnity,

IS Officer Team

Thank you! I will be preparing my storage and migrating tonight.
