Special thanks to Psio, for interviewing Cloudii.Q: So Hi! There Cloudii first of all tell us about your name/age and where are you from?A: My name is Max and I am 19 years old and come from Finland.
Q: How did you come across to choose a Paladin?A: Back in TBC I started playing with my friends and I thought about a class which could do everything since I wanted to play with them so I chose a Paladin for that reason. It could heal, dps and tank. It was also a balanced class, nothing overpowered and to me it looked like a fun class to play as.
Q: What part of your class makes you keep playing it and not get bored?A: The DPS was bad in TBC but DPS and Tanking both got buffed in WotLK so whenever I get bored of Holy as in healing I can specc for something else and do that instead. For example if I'd play as a rogue, I think I couldn't play one since it can only DPS and do nothing else or fit any other spot in raidsetups or instances anc such.
Q: Why choose Holy as you main specc?A: I started to play in TBC when Holy was the only way for Paladins to survive (pretty much) and enjoyed it alot. I am stuck with it since then also its more of my passion, I want to be the best of the healing Paladins.
Q: Can you tell us a little about the strength and weakness of a Holy Paladin?A: Alot of cooldowns to save the raid.
Chugging big heals on the tanks.
Glyph of Holy Light is a very decent tool for healing since it enhanced a little more healing capabilities regardin aoe, which paladins didn't have until recently.
The biggest weakness is not being able to compare against the other healers on proper raid damaging fights. I consider myself as a best tank healing class but too bad I can't heal everything if there is AoE damage going around, I'll just have to relay on others to perform in those situations.
Q: What has been your experience in Hellion and differences vs your past guilds?A: It is more demanding than my previous guild in attendance and skill which is a good thing, also I find Hellion having a solid and good raider core which really helps with the stability of the guild as in Hellion will not disband or suffer management issues even if a few raiders/officers suddenly left which is a very strong and good aspect of Hellion.
Q: What other class beside a Paladin would you reroll to, if your life depended on it and you had to?A: Probably a druid, since it is once again a hybrid class and I would like to play a supporting DPS class. Also the forms comes a bonus
Q: Who would you rate as the best players of the guild and why?A: Superanders, since I have never seen a shaman like him before, he plays all the three speccs at their very best also he puts the best effort to get the best gear for all the three speccs without being a lootwhore ^.^
Palaman, He knows what he is doing on every encounter of the game and always provides the best tanking you could get, he is a tank I feel comfortable healing and trust his capability of improvisation which sometimes helps healers alot.
Psio, He comes fully prepared on every encounter and brings his very best also he is annoying which is sometimes good.
Q: What is your aim in World of Warcraft?A: Defeat every encounter on every difficulty and try to further improve myself, learning from mistakes and whatever I see.
Q: What are your views on the incoming Icecrown hardmodes, what do you think should be strategized?A: I think we should stop carrying some people in raids and be more picky about our recruits and demand more from our raiders since our aim is atleast realm first and for a few people holding us back they should immediately shape their performance according to what the majority in Hellion desires.
Q: What do you use in your UI and why?A: Recount, Bartender, ForteXorcist and Grid - Recount for the knowledge of what's going on around me in raids, I like to evaluate everyone's output and act accordingly. Rest is just self-explanatory.
Q: Granted you have been given the oppurtunity to kick one guy or gal from the guild who would it be and why?A: Maybe Mojojojo since he is slacking alot and his attendance is recorded dodgy!
Q: Ok now here are the quick questions.i) Favourite item? Glimmering Steel Mantle from Mount Hyjal
ii) Favorite boss fight and why? Algalon the Observer as that fight puts the most pressure on me since the survivability of tanks is always on steaks and I am responsible on keeping the alive and making the actual fight happen in that aspect.
iii) Favorite movie? Pirates of the Caribbean Movies
iv) Favorite song? Owl City - The Tip of the Iceberg
v) Favorite food? Any barbeque styled would do.
vi) Best or most funny moment in Hellion? In almost all the official raids we have alot of fun but specially the "funniest" or "best" moments would most definitely be in our Friday's 10-man with all the trolling, insulting and jokes.
Q: Any final words to guild or the readers?A: Now I put on my robe and wizard hat and be on my way, you can send all the complaints of this interview to my in-game mail. Thanks.
