Level 70 Holy Paladin Astrophel looking to join

Talents http://armory.worldofwarcraft.com/characte...amp;n=Astrophel
My talent spec is 46/15/0 with most of the standard healing talents. I have blessing of kings and improved lay on hands as well as blessed life. I do not have the fear resist talent. While it may be possible to tank or dps with my spec, I currently do not have the gear to do so.

Ventrilo
I have ventrilo and a working headset and mic. I have used ventrilo in the past and I am comfortable using it for raids and instancing.

Playtime
My typical availble playtime is 5pm to 12am server time on weekdays, and 12pm to 12am server time on weekends. Although I will not always be on during this time, Juggler and Restorer both have my phone number and will be able to contact me if they are online. Except for special circumstances (illness, test the next day, relatives visiting, etc), I should be able to attend raids from 8 to 12 server time on any day.

Timezone
I live in the Central timezone, which is Eastern -1hr.

Previous Guilds
My only previous guild is "Cranial Insanitosis," which is a very small guild formed by myself and three of my rl friends. There are currently only four active members, and we plan to disband soon.

Raiding Experience
I have no World of Warcraft raiding experience at all. I have however played the MMORPG FFXI before, which required members to show stay for six hours spamming "alt+1" in an attempt to claim a world boss that spawned once a week, caused me to die up to twelve times in a raid when each death cost me experience, had incredible amounts of drama over loot, required nightly attendence to raids that started hours late due to people not showing up on time, and other general unpleasantness. Due to that experience, I don't think WoW raids will bother me too much. Wiping isn't as bad when you haven't been fighting the boss for two and a half hours and can't find it again for a week.

Reason for Applying
I'm applying because I want a raiding guild that I don't have to kill myself over, and I've been hearing great things about this guild from my friends. My friend Juggler's been encouraging me to join, and I don't see any harm in at least applying. I'd like to experience raiding in WoW almost as much as I'd like to upgrade my gear.

Anything else--
My armory -- http://armory.worldofwarcraft.com/characte...amp;n=Astrophel
My stats are:
~1200 healing
~6000 health
~8000 mana
~10% crit rate (15% holy crit, 21% holy light crit)
78 mana/5
11k armor

-Juggler is my college roommate
-I'm a quiet, unsociable person, but I don't think I'll actively bother anyone
-I like macros, especially macros involving [target=mouseover,nomodifier,exists]. I'm not very good at making macros, but I like finding them, using them, and telling others about them.

--------------- I Lag ---------------

Currently I am using a wireless internet connection and I have random lag spikes for about 2 seconds, but sometimes lasting as long as five or six. I almost never disconnect, and the longer lag spikes happen very rarely, but it does make having me as a healer more of a risk.

Easily the best app I have ever read.

Adjust your DHCP lease window at your base station, I suspect you'll find that your "random lag spikes" are about once every 2 hours (or whatever value is in there), and setting it to something crazy like 24 hours (and then renewing it early afternoon sometime) will make that disappear.

Upgrade your bracers, shoulder, and boots.

Just a few suggestions on your spec

Imp lay on hands is by far one of the most useless tallents as most tanks are almost already at or near the armor cap with raid buffs. Only time you ever really use it is PvP, or on a raid boss where u cast is on yourself even while your at full health but 0 mana...using it to give you the 800 mana. But we are paladins, how often are we THAT oom? It might be advantageous to move those two points into unyielding fath or Imp concentration aura...best bet would be the latter.

Holy paladins planning to raid heal without Imp concentration aura is practicaly a sin.

You would in no way be able to tank or dps with your current spec, even WITH tanking or dps gear.

That aside... Everything else looks good =)

Is this true? Mitigation cap is 75% and, forgive me if my algebraic skills are rusty, that's ~31,500 AC. Are any tanks really near this? I can imagine druids getting there, but Warrirors?

Not flaming you Poa, this is for my own edification.

Rusty algebra, huh? Well, I'll reduce it to a simple equation for you, tell me if you can solve for X:

N + O = X

Meh was actually thinking more along the lines of most druid tanks, still.

Maybe not completely useless... But if it gets to the point where a paladin is using lay on hands on a tank for armor buff... It is probably already past the point of no return and a wipe :- Paladins oom means every other healer is probably in the same boat.

Not worth 2 talent points...especially when you don't have points in imp concentration aura....and could.

Without 4/5 t4, or any t5 gear, how is a druid armor capped against a 73?

Except that LoH is a part of many guilds' strategy for Prince Malchezaar.

Intentionally OoM, LoH, super mana pot... that 2k mana is going to last a lot longer for a paladin then anyone else (especially if you lay on the cooldowns).

Relying on lay on hands is bad policy.
Relying on LoH for a ezmode boss in kara as part of a guilds strat is disturbing. And the other healers compitency (or gear) should be checked.

2 years raiding as a paladin, only time I or any of our paladins ever used LoH was on GwF in naxx on a rogue evasion tanking her at 1% on a botched attempt.

LoH is a "oh shit" spell... Using it (tallented or not) as part of a strat is bad policy.

There are just too many other great places to put those two tallents, then into a spell used once in a blue moon in a oh shit situation.

And if a paladin has to "Intentionally OoM, LoH, super mana pot... " The other healers arnt doing their jobs.

OK I am glad I wasn't drunk or crazy. So no one is actually AC capped. BTW the point about LoH isn't the isuue at all and I am sure Dak would agree as he spent a ton of time telling me that it isn't necessary to invest in NS because it is an "oh shit" ability. I just wanted to make sure AC cap wasn't a real posisibility, cause otherwise the formula is wrong ((AC/AC + 10557.5))*100.
