re: App: Hanora

The application submitted by Hanora is as follows:
Quote: | Name : Myarya
Game : World of Warcraft
Server : US - Moonrunner
Level : 100
Gender : Female
Faction : Alliance
Race : Draenei
Class : Paladin
Spec 1 : Holy
WoW Armory
WoW Heroes
Tell us a bit about yourself (the person, not the character.) What hobbies do you have outside of WoW? What other games do you like to play, if any? What else are you passionate about?:
I'm an avid reader, mainly fantasy and sci-fi. My current series of books are urban fantasy. My current favorite game outside of WoW is Dragon Age Inquisition, though I haven't dedicated much time to it of late. Aside from games and reading I spend my days home-schooling my kids and making soap to keep a certain rogue sparkly clean.
Please describe your previous/current raiding experience.:
What's a raid? Right now I'm relegated to dragging the sparkly rogue through raid finder due to the lack of an active guild. I raided through LK, skipped Cata and re-subscribed for Mists but that also was mainly RF.
Why are you leaving your current guild (if applicable?):
I'm literally the only person online in my guild, ever, for years :)
Do you have an off-spec? How good is your off-spec gear, and are you willing to play it if needed?:
Let's go with no, swinging a sword would only result in broken bones on the wrong side. Similarly, cowering behind a shield hoping the bad guys die laughing or wander off isn't really tanking is it?
What is your favourite raid encounter so far in Mists? Why do you like it? What is your least favourite, and why do you dislike it? Feel free to substitute encounters from Cataclysm if needed.:
Let's jump to WoD for this one, I really enjoy Hans and Franz because there is so much going on requiring a lot of focus and situational awareness. What fun is it to face a wall and spam Holy Light? My least favorite is Blast Furnace because A). What the hell is really going on here and B). Why does it take sooo long to do it?
What do you think is the greatest strength of your class/spec? What do you think is its greatest weakness?:
Beacon of Light is probably the best strength, the greatest weakness by far is the lack of mobility having only one spell I can cast on the move.
Why are you interested in joining Business Time?:
Raid Finder really doesn't satisfy any need other than reviewing why the general public should not be allowed to congregate without supervision. I'd like to enjoy a bit of sanity while also enjoying current content. Not to mention raiding with the aforementioned sparkly rogue again (whether that's good or bad remains to be determined).
Do you have Mumble installed and a working microphone? (Business Time is no longer using Vent):
Yes
Please provide a link to a recent combat log. LFR logs are acceptable. :
www.I'llhavetomakesparklyroguelogone.org
Is there anything else you'd like to add not covered by the previous questions?:
I can definitely be bribed into throwing moderately heavy objects at the back of the sparkly rogues head.
If you were a vanity pet, what would you be (and why)? Your application hinges on this very critical question.:
Creepy Crate. Who wouldn't want to hide in a box and eat all the crunchy critters?
Application Availability Info:

Monday -> Always
Tuesday -> 2x a Month

Thanks for your application, Hanora. We will be discussing it and get back to you soon.
I must say that your willingness to smack Thracks behind the head is very appealing.

He is not sparkly enough for me.
I think he's been holding out on us!

I hate everything that sparkles. The less he sparkles, the better it is.
Quick questions, Hanora:
I see that you're missing enchants. I'm certain this would be remedied before raiding with us but I wanted to ask: What stat would you enchant for?
How far along are you in your legendary quest?

We did the first part on Blackrock Foundry: http://www.askmrrobot.com/wow/combatlog/c314ec71-c4c5-48bc-bc91-967f7b38f58f/overview
I gem and enchant for crit, for some reason the lower level enchants are going for 2-3k on my server and I've been replacing gear at a steady rate the last two weeks so I've been holding off. Thracks tells me he has a stockpile of enchanting mats in his bank waiting for me to server transfer, but it will definitely be dealt with before I enter anything beyond LFR. Up until recently I'd been dragging him around questing while I catch up on story lines and quest chains.
Grimrail Depot is the last part I need for the 640 ring. Thracks appears to be scared of that instance and has been groaning about it, I'll run it while he's at work today or make him go when he gets home if the pugs fail me.
I'll see if we can strike a happy medium on the sparkly rogue!

Hi Hanora,
I wanted to ask if you wouldn't mind explaining your level 100 tier talent choice. Thanks!

I prefer Saved by the Light in most situations. I've found only a few fights have more than one tank at a time taking heavy damage, so the extra beacon isn't as helpful as an automatic bubble for me. I've only got one heal every six seconds that can be cast while moving, so if I'm not stationary, I'm not healing. Depending on healing assignment and individual fight mechanics, I may choose Beacon of Faith over the others. I find Beacon of Insight to be too random for me.

Hi Hanora,
What resources do you use to keep yourself up to date on any changes or theory craft about your class?

I typically read the patch notes and tooltips to develop what works for my play style. I use Icy Veins and Holy Bouch to see what's recommended for talents, glyphs, stat priorities etc but I prefer to use those as guides and not choose something because everyone else does. Also, I check recount after LFR to see what other holy paladins are using and how it compares to what I do.

Good evening, we'd like to interview you Thursday night at 6:30 PDT? Does that work for you?
For everyone else, it means raid time.

Hey Hanora, Thracks told us that your mom was admitted to the hospital. I hope she will be okay, and we can talk with you at a later date.

She said thank you, looks like she'll be released in a few days but has to stay in ER tonight.
