Why are you applying to Bloodpack?
I want a guild which is progressing yet isn't too far ahead of my previos one so i can actually contribute, i hate being undergearred in raids compared to the other members because it doesnt really feel like i'm contributing anything

Have you played with anyone in Bloodpack before, who might vouch for you?
Me and Brodnbitter used to be in EXIT, although not being very successful and saw very little content, we knew each other for a while and still talk now. Other than Brodnbitter i'm not really sure if there are any other members, but the chances are likely that i will know one or two others

What previous guilds have you been in, and why are you planning to/have you left your last guild?
I rerolled to this server on November the 3rd with Reprisal. After reaching 70 me and my best friend Reikos quit the guild because of various reasons, although nothing really that major, i personally wasnt ready to join a PvE guild because of my bad internet connection at the time. After leaving Reprisal a few weeks later we both joined E X I T, where we stayed for a good few months and both became officers. I became a high ranked officer and the guild's Raid Leader, which sounds great, but i left because of the serious lack of determination to better ourselves: we only ever raided karazhan, even when we had the group for a few avatars of Zul'aman (Progress is progress). Also, despite being a rather large guild we only ever attempted one 25 man, which was gruul. After failing horribly none of the guild exept me really wanted to try again. After leaving E X I T, I joined Dark Secrets and found out that my friend Reikos had been accepted into LazyBones. (Sorry for the essay!) I raided with Dark Secrets for about 2 months and although i was enjoying it i just wanted to raid with my best friend, so i applied to LazyBones, but was declined. Aswell as being declined one of my guildies saw my application and reported it, so i was booted from the guild. I know i deserved it but it still sucks anyway .

Do you currently have any pending application with any other guild? If yes, who with?
As i said i applied to LazyBones but was declined, and even if a hunter spot opens up, i probably will save myself the hastle of applying, assuming i am enjoying being part of this one (If i was to get accepted).

Tell us a bit about your history and experiences in WoW. How long have you been playing? Why do you like playing your chosen class and spec? What have you done up to this point in the game?
I started WoW about 3 years ago on the alliance side, realm Tarren Mill. After reaching 60 i joined the guild which is possibly the oldest guild in WoW, Northwind Gale who were created 3 days after WoW itself began and is still going strong now. With Northwind Gale i cleared Molten Core, Blackwing Lair, Zul'Gurub, AQ 20 and killed Princess Huhuran in AQ 40, only ever attempting Captain Razuvios in naxxramas. In the burning crusade i reached 70 then due to real life issues had to have a 6 month break from WoW. When i got back the guild seemed alot different and i wasn't happy to play with them so i rerolled to Anachronos with my Brother, his best friend and my best friend (reikos). Once i joined Dark Secrets i progressed 4/5 MH and 2/9 BT (attempting shade of Akama)


Raiding

How interested are you in PvE raiding? I am a very Keen PvE player and enjoy seeing all new content. I believe wiping is part of progression so i generally wont whine if we experience one.

How much experience do you have with PvE content in the game? (e.g. what raids have you taken part in, do you do heroics etc.)
I kind of mentionned it a bit above but ill put it here easier to understand..

Are you available during our raid times? Can you make all days or only some?
I'm available for any raid, on any day at any time till any time!
What PvE-related add-ons do you use?
Omen, Deadly Boss Mods, Argueably Atlas, Argueably ItemRack, Recount

We're a fairly social guild, not just logging on for raid times and then disappearing for the rest of the week. How would/do you fill your playing time when not raiding?
I normally do a bit of dailies, boost friends and guildies through instances and generally just socialise, i love talking to other players who share the same passion as me!

Raiding's not cheap. Flasks, buff food, oils, and ofc repairs all cost money and time, and so does keeping your gear gemmed and chanted properly. Are you able to support your raiding expenses? Yep, i normally just grind cash quickly when i go below 500g and am up for doing dailies

How do you feel you can benefit our raid setup?
I understand that survival hunters are quite scarce these days but i also understand alot of guilds have one, if you're guild already has a survival hunter i would ofcourse respec as i have the gear for BM/MM also. (Survival hit Cap is only 92 or so, so you have to have a couple of pieces of hit rating gear if you change back to Bm or MM

Additional things to add? Sorry if i've rambled on a bit! If i havnt answered or misread a question, then ill post a reply as soon as i can

The armoury was down a moment ago but i managed to get my armoury link now

Hello Barret,
Thanks for taking the time for applying, i quite like this application as i sense a hint of humour, will review your application shortly

Finde.

Nice apply good luck

vouch for him, very good dps back in old guild.

there you go!

on the last message i put my name as "Jecht", it is my other chars name, i got a bit confused for some reason lol!

there you go

Hmm, the first thing that jumps out at me looking at your Armoury is why are you using Shard of Contempt? For hunters it's a really bad trinket, if you can get hold of Hourglass of the Unraveller from BM (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28034) or even if you still have Bladefists Breath (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28041) from the group quest in Hellfire Penninsula, those would be a better choice.

Also, if you can afford it get the crit scope for your crossbow, overall this is a much better scope than the one you are currently using.

Nice application, good luck

I would have said just remove the AP gems and replace with agi/crit seeing as survival hunters are really there to open up expose weakness and increase everyone elses dps.

GL with the app though

To Kareha: Yeah, i'm not using shard of contempt because i think it's good or anything, when i was levelling my hunter in hellfire peninsula my brother was 'helping' me out and vendored my bladefists breadth, and ive been to get the BM trinket for like 15 runs now or something, its just getting on my nerves. Also despite the fact that it has expertise rating it does proc insanely often so its pretty much a constant 300 AP, which is the reason i havnt really been in a rush too much to replace it.

to Ochayetthamoo: Yeah i know, stacked agility is the way to go for survival, it's just that in Dark Secrets the survival hunter spot was contested, so if i stacked all my gems with agility and i didnt make the survival hunter spot, i would have had to respec completely, and with that, regem a bit too. I do have the means to get stacked survival gems but there are some cases in which putting 10 agility gem in a slot would be a bad idea, if the gem is high quality itself, it would be little raid improvement and a slight nurf on my damage too, so they kind of cancel each other out

BTW, does your guild currently have a survival hunter?

Yes we do. Application still under review by the way.

Ok Barret,
As we currently have a Survival Hunter we are going to decline your application, We respect that your versatile in the manner of what spec you can be, but we are full on general Hunters anyway.
Goodluck elsewhere.

Finde.
