After a two year break, I came back to WoW six months ago as a level 35 Enhancement Shaman, only to find that my guild died. The friendly people at Diåtribe were nice enough to take me in and keep my morale up as I leveled to 85, giving me my first level cap hit. Unfortunately, friendliness and humor can only go so far.
Thankfully I managed to get my gear up to 345 (Resto) and 341 (Enhance) without guild help by doing the daily normal pugs for Justice Points and reputation, despite the fact that I have only successfully pugged a few heroics. Pick up groups are a nightmare.
I can't pad my resume by saying I've had raid experience, because I don't. But I want to have that experience, and I have to start somewhere.
I might fail a couple of times, I might wipe a couple of times, but if I make a mistake, I want to learn from it and learn how to avoid it. I'm not claiming to be perfect or Johnny Awesome, but I am saying that I'm willing to give it my best.
Also, my computer does have a microphone, but I haven't had a chance to test it in vent. The quality seems fine in videos I've recorded, so hopefully that applies to WoW as well.
P.S. I have bonded with my friends at Diåtribe, so I will be sad to leave them behind if I'm recruited somewhere else, but I can always continue to support them through my alts.
