Main character name: Alneis
Character class: Paladin
Character race: Human
Character level: 70
Character spec:
Currently, retribution. That’s right, mighty *cought* dee-pee-es *cought* tree of a paladin class. Regarded by many as ‘soloing’ or ‘leveling up’ tree, thought it might be quite viable in both parties (as a ‘hybrid’) and raids (while 3% increased chance for critical strike on hit or spellcast may appear to be small buff, it scales with ammount of people attacking target).
While it has been stated that AG Praetorian Guard is not a restrictive guild, it would be understandable not to have more then few or even any ‘dee-pee-es’ paladins, especially since it may mean ‘harming’ members who play ‘pure’ dps classes. I used to be protection paladin, but certain circumstances ‘forced’ a respec without my willingless on the matter. But should you be interested more in protection paladin rather then in ‘dee-pee-es’ one (thought I tend to see it more as ‘hybrid’ one), respec wouldn’t be that painful, especially since I have gear to support this change.
I haven’t respeced back to protection because of two reasons. Since I’m practically guildless, there is no current use of it. Also, Blizzard stated they are reworking retribution tree to make it more viable, and since retribution is my favourite tree, I would be more then willing to give it a go. But then, tanking isn’t bad either, so I could respec back to it.
While I’m not (or at least don’t see myself as) sterethypical ‘the-guy-who-will-never-heal’ paladin, I have to say that respecing to Holy is something I doubt that will happen to me any time soon. There are fights when being paladin doing something else then healing is just being stubborn (Maiden of Virtue in Karazhan for example) and I’m more then fine to accept that. Yet, let’s say I had other idea of ‘paladin’ when I created this character 2 years ago or so (can’t remember now tbh, time passes sooo quickly). Besides, seeing your recruitment status of paladins as ‘closed’, I take it you have more then handful of dedicated healing pallies. Very likely others as well, but oh well, you never know untill you try, right?

Since The Eye and Serpentshrine Cavern no longer requires attunement, I guess I’m ‘attuned’ to those as well, even thought I didn’t manage to get any of those attuments done.
High level non trainable spells/abilities learned:
As far as I know, there are no non-trainable class spells/abilities for paladins on lvl 70, but might use that one for enchanting and engineering recipies, which would be the following:

Armory link (or CTprofile if you wish to show different gear):
The Amory link is: http://armory.wow-europe.com/character- ... n&n=Alneis (not sure if simple copy + paste will do, seen it not working more then once, but don’t know other way)
Most likely you will see my grinding gear, which wouldn’t be much different to be used in instances (maybe a change here or there for more spell dmg and mana, depending on encounter and role I’d have to fit). Sadly, with ‘death’ of Ctprofiles I cannot make a profile showing also healing and tanking gear sets. The only alternative I could think of would be posting links to the items on sites like [censored due to keylogger issues] or Wowhead, but... feel like I have written more then enought already to take loads of times of poor officers who have to read this application, and worst hasn’t come yet!

Reasons why you would like to join:
To make long story short (I know, doesn’t look like I’m to succed, but oh well): it appeares to me that AG Praetorian Guard is the guild I could feel like at home.
Recent events made it impossible for me to enjoy the game as I used to in DoD. Since it’s rather personal matter, I’d prefer not to go into details, unless it’s neccesary. Let’s just say that situation there got to a point when either I gave up myself and my personality or couse a split. Since I wish DoD all best, decided to leave and avoid ‘drama’ that unfortunatelly would very likely took place if I were to stay and remain myself.
Since the time I’ve left DoD, my play time on Turalyon has been devoided of purpose, I seemed to be ‘lost’. Thought of joining another guild appeared to be a bit more then abstract for me. I don’t think a ‘hardcore’ raiding guild could be a place I would be able to call ‘home’ nor that it would make my game play more pleasure then duty. Most of such guilds are full of paladins anyway, plus majority (if not all) are... demanding, when it comes to (for example) talent specialisations (aka: paladin = holy or none at all). On the other hand, I think I’m too ambitious to join fully ‘casual’ guild, one that rarely if not never see raid or heroic instance.
It doesn’t mean that I ‘cannot live’ without raiding, or wouldn’t join a guild that would not let me raid. Raiding is something I really enjoy and I cannot deny it. Yet... seeing that your recriutment status on paladin (and some others as well) class is closed, I more then understand if you would not be able to provide me a raiding spot.
As I said at very beggining of answer to this question: I feel AG Praetorian Guard is the guild I could call home, and that’s what I really lack at the moment. Restrictions on members are non-existant or negligible - for example the one concerning tank spec warrior passing on dps plate gear for dps warrior, if that can be called a restriction (perfectly logical for me). As it was stated on ‘read before posting’ post, real life comes over game without discussion, something many claim to do but only few manage to. Having met some of you, even if for only short period of time, gave me an impression that you did manage that task.
It also gives an impression that certain flaws of members might be ignored like... being a bit too speechy? ^^’
Were all of the above characters levelled by you from the start?: Positive!
Your real age: Hey, would you ask such question to a lady? I mean... not that *I* am a lady, but... equal rights should work both ways, shouldn’t they? Oh well, let it be: 19 >.<.
Well, that would be it, phew! Thank you for your time taken while reading this, and feel free to ask any questions should I've missed something - I swear I will try not to elaborate as grately as I did here
