Name: - Logan James Purnell
Age: - 23 Years of age – Currently living in London in the United Kingdom
Character Information:-
I currently play a Retribution Paladin – ( 7/2/32 ) That has served me since the beginning of “TBC” to the present day of Cataclysm – I understand a lot of recruiter’s do not always look at gear level, (I never cared to) – Due to the fact Experience and capability can sometimes override gear – Well it has in my experience.
But never the less – My current Item level is 371 – With a 2 set bonus on the Paladin Tier 12 set.
Professions: - Blacksmithing (525), Mining (525), Cooking (525), First Aid (525), Fishing (455 – I’m getting there ^^)
Reasons for choosing Blacksmithing, In my opinion the extra slot given to hand and wrist pieces of gear is a large help – It enables me to put in that little bit of hit rating possibly or just extra strength for a maximum outlay of Dps. Also allowing me to craft my won weapons and gear is a bit of a bonus
Mining ( possibly changing for Jewelcrafting, Alchemy or Enchanting – Currently I have no need for mining due to the fact I have stopped tanking in raids as I prefer the retribution side of a paladin.
I would like to add that I have no issue what so ever changing to a profession which the guild requires me to have – to aid in raids and/or to improve my current class/spec.

Notable Alts:-
The Majority of my alts are still on the Alliance Side. Although I do have an Arms warrior with a Protection Os. He gears is very good is some places but others I need of vast improvement – Never the less he is Firelands geared. I shall be soon to bring him to the Horde.
His Professions Are Alchemy (525) and Herbalism (525)
What are your current/past guilds and the reasons you left them?-
At the start of cataclysm I was still in my own guild which was The Eternal Guardians, Once we had out 10 man team geared – we were able to tackle First 5 bosses in Bwd, First 2 bosses in BoT and the first boss in Totfw within the first 2 and a half months.
Then due to an officer argument – 3 officers left and went to Gatekeepers. Thus causing the guild to lie dormant.
I then sort to seek refuge with the rest of my raiders in Imperial Alliance once more. We were incorporated into their raid team, and I was asked to raid lead once again. Also becoming part of their officers team. We pushed into Firelands with a deadly Force and began to kill the bosses – After 1 month we killed the first 4 bosses, pushing Alysrazor to 12% before calling for the night.
The guild was then Changed, Marvellious decided to remove a lot of people from IA, which I did not agree with therefore taking myself away completely from the troubles of my peers and now seeking refuge in Hammer to Fall. Who have kindly given me a social spot to re-gather my awareness for the Horde. And then allowing myself to get back onto my feet and into raiding.
They have offered me a raid spot but there raid teams are not yet strong. I would Love to put the hours into making the team strong but however – I no longer have the strength after nearly 7 years of the game to focus on regearing and teaching new
Why are you interested in joining Awesome Grats?-
I now hold my self a Free man to look for a successful and renowned raiding guild throughout Bloodhoof. I look to join Awesome Grats because I wish to raid as much as I can, as it is now my only passion in the game. I hope that I can prove myself in the possible days to come. I will try my damnedest to show my worth.
Raiding experience (this can be any and all raiding experience you've had from release up to present):-
My most profound character which has served me well – despite not being my first since the release of World of Warcraft (Vanilla) – Is my Paladin “Achillies” Who was first formed 3 days after the release of The Burning Crusade. My character recently has just migrated from the Alliance to the Horde. The Alliance has been my home for many Generations throughout World of Warcraft. From launch day November 23rd 2004 – I found myself first attracted to the Alliance. Thus creating my Warrior which was stationed in “Imperial Alliance” – A revered Alliance guild throughout Vanilla. I raided with Imperial Alliance for numerous years through the struggles in AQ 20, AQ 40 and Naxxaramas – Also Aiding a fellow friend of mine “Fensi – Warlock” To get her Scarab mount – And to my knowledge the only existing on this realm. Through the countless raiding days we progressed well until January 17th 2007 when The Burning Crusade was released.
This is when I decided to put my Orc warrior into retirement – (A sin I have not yet forgiven myself for ^^) And Took up arms with my Paladin throughout the course of “TBC” – I did not remain in Imperial Alliance through the course of “TBC” Due to the fact I had an argument with an old friend of mine Marvellious – We did not see eye to eye and forced me to leave.
I then Found myself stationed in another well known “TBC” Guild Named Eternal – Which was run by a very good friend of mine named Flubke – I remained in Eternal for the duration of “TBC” killing some of the most profound raid bosses of that era - Raided through Karazhan, Serpent shrine Cavern, Black temple, Zul’Aman ( just missing out on the Amani War bear by 1 Dkp ^^ ), Then eventually reaching the Sunwell. Also had the privilege of being one of the first guilds on the realm to tackle Karazhan.
But due to unfortunate events in Flubke’s absence – Eternal fell. Therefore forcing myself to create my own guild – “The Eternal Guardians” Which may I add has had its fair share of ups and down through out the course of Woltk and Cataclysm.
Once Flubke returned to WoW after the devastating blow of the fall of Eternal he decided to take up arms with me, we ran The Eternal Guardians together with another players named Ysogreenleaf – Through the course of Woltk, we progressed well.
Despite out personal views of this expansion we continued never the less; one by one each raid that was released soon fell beneath our onslaught. Eventually reaching Icecrown – The Lich King fell within a Month. We progressed into Heroics for the remainder of Woltk also killing Halion in RS.
Cataclysm opened a new door – I joined Imperial alliance as explained in my previous entries. We pushed into Firelands and killed the first 4 bosses, pushing Alysrazor to 12% before I left the guild due to unfortunate events. May I add I have Also had experience on Majordomo with a PuG group – But did not kill him
Which days are you usually available to raid?-
I am available to Raid Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. ( All hours )
My problems are Monday and Wednesday due to the fact I train for Athletics Later on those days more than the others due to the fact my coach works – As do the rest of us ^^
But whatever you should need me for, I will complete to 110% standard.
Do you use an authenticator with your battle.net account? (If not, say why)-
Currently not in use, But as of today after this Application. It now is. Yes.
Other info about yourself:-
As any 23 year old, I am just enjoying life. Working in my fathers security company currently “Crossbar services” – He is stationed in South Africa currently. So I am not working
I train for athletics 5 days a week 02:00 – 06:00 (Tuesday, Thursday Sunday) and 05:00 – 09:00 (Monday and Wednesday)
I’m an easy person to get along with, I always smiling, always making jokes. If your down in the dumps I guarantee I can make you feel better. Due to the fact my life has been filled with a lot of problems. A lot of events in my life have made me the stronger man I am today. So if any of you need somebody to sympathise with – I can guarantee I will be one of them.
I enjoy many types of music - Many different games. I’m just easy, to put it in short ^^
The idea of raiding is brilliant – The way raiders have to co-ordinate together and work as a team is fantastic. It is who I am simply.
Well this is my application through and through – Nearly everything about me is here ^^

Once again Apologies for the rather long application.
Regards Logan.
