Hello! I'm a retired WoW Mythic raider (and current M+ enjoyer) looking for a fun and chill group of people to run endgame content with. I'm a healer main forced to dps more often than not, but I suppose that isn't entirely a bad thing. I enjoy playing SGE the most atm, though I can technically play any healer. As far as dps, I have the most experience playing BRD and SMN, though I also enjoy playing RPR and the other phys ranged just the same. I'm pretty flexible when it comes to role, thanks to my history of alt hopping in WoW.

I'm about as laid back as they come, I have no issues with prog and wiping. As long as progress is being made, I'm more than happy to keep chugging along until we manage a kill. Personally, I like to optimize myself just so I know I can be the best I can be, but I know that's not for everyone. At least in WoW, I'm able to regularly parse purple and orange. Though I don't have any recent fflogs to see how well I'm doing in that regard.. Something I'd like to change. Don't worry, I'm not hard on anyone about parsing but myself. I know I'm a competent player, and I try my best to make sure my play matches the expectations that I have for myself.

Oh yeah, and I also have a crippling addiction to deep dungeons.

Most of my experience was back in ShB with a casual static. I played AST at the time and we managed to clear E1S, E2S, E5S, Titania EX, and Ruby Weapon EX. The static fell apart halfway through the xpac, and I just never ended up finding another. I did enjoy the brief time we had doing the content, though. Dawntrail is a new beginning, why not finally try again?

Unfortunately most of my endgame content experience is in World of Warcraft. I've been a part of a semi-hardcore Mythic raiding guild on and off for about 7 years. In terms of prog, they regularly clear just over half of the bosses in any given tier. In recent years, the prog rate has definitely decreased.. but at the very least, they always end it off just short of the last 2-3 bosses. When I say on and off, I do regularly take breaks from WoW when the content gets stale. I apparently dodged a bullet when I completely skipped over Shadowlands.. Lol. As of Dragonflight, I've found a group of friends to run decently high M+ keys with for all 4 seasons. We may not run an optimal comp, but that doesn't stop us from having fun all the same.

I know skill doesn't necessarily transfer between games, but I like to think I have a good understanding of mechanics and how to play my job correctly. That's all we can really hope for, no?
