Why are you applying to Bloodpack? Because I know you guys are a good raiding guild and you know what it means to progress into the game. I also have a couple of friends here who I'd like to play with again

Have you played with anyone in Bloodpack before, who might vouch for you? Squired, Ygthor, Myriad.. ermm... any ex dotcom people!

What previous guilds have you been in, and why are you planning to/have you left your last guild?
Night Wolves - On Azjol-nerub, my raiding guild... didn't get hugely far.
Synchronicity - Guild I was in to level with from 60-65 when TBC came out
DoT Com - was there from the start to the end, progressed well but the leaving of key members caused the guild to fall apart.
Imperium - Reformation of some old dot com people started by me, unfortunately this didn't work since we couldn't find enough raiders. Ended up disbanding
Platinum - recently left due to key members leaving and basically not enough good raiders there to do anything decent

Do you currently have any pending application with any other guild? If yes, who with? Nope

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've been playing wow since some time in 2005, and have dipped in and out for some time. As soon as TBC hit I levelled to 65 but couldn't find a nice guild so I ended up quitting for a few months; this was also due to RL issues. Once I came back i ended up joining DoT Com and stayed there until it disbanded.
I chose a hunter initially because I was hooked on pokemon, and I thought well.. this is as close as I was gonna get to having my very own in an MMO! (sad but... hey.. honesty is the best policy) I levelled as MM spec to 60, and respecced survival briefly into my raiding career, but eventually was asked to respec BM for the Vashj fight, and have loved the BM tree ever since.
My original hunter was called Christov, but this character was banned no thanks to a younger sibling of mine (I got my revenge *snicker*), and I lost it forever. Still loving the game I levelled this char and used Architeuthis for a while which was a friends char until he left the game. I actually applied here on architeuthis a while back but decided to withdraw the app as I felt the friend whos char it was wouldn't like me putting it in another guild! So anyway, my old char being banned is the reason why this chars gear isn't hugely up to scratch as you might think it would be considering I've come from a BT raiding guild. I may not have the same gear, but I've got the wealth of experience and knowledge to make it as far as you can throw me!

Raiding

How interested are you in PvE raiding?
Very, it's all I want to do! Arena is great, but winning a match against a tough team doesn't beat the feeling you get from downing that boss you've been wiping on for months!
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've cleared kara, gruul, maggie, TK, SSC and MH, done 4/9 in BT and never been into sunwell except for some trash for funsies!
I do heroics occaisonally but I rarely pug them since I have no use for the gear drops anymore, but I'm always willing to help out if people need a dpser!

Are you available during our raid times? Can you make all days or only some? I can never make tuesdays as I practice with my band on those nights. I am occaisonally away on thursdays and fridays for gigs, but not hugely often so this would only happen once every few weeks.

What PvE-related add-ons do you use? Oh god where to start lol, I'm a bit of an addon whore! Omen, Recount, Bigwigs, VRA, SA, DurabilityFu, MonkeyQuest, Carbonite(when im on an alt), CooldownTimers2, Elkano's BuffBars, X-Perl, Bongos2... ermm... think I got all the PvE ones, there are some others I use for general things; just ask if you want a full list

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 tend to do pvp, lvl alts or just socially chat with guildies! I think a huge part of an MMO is being sociable and I love to meet new people, make new friends and generally have a chat

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? Of course, I do dailies when I'm running a bit low on funds, but I like to play the AH to make my cash, it seems a bit more interesting!

How do you feel you can benefit our raid setup? Well my space is specifically designed around buffing and benefitting the raid, so Ferocious Inspiration and Imp. Hunter's Mark are obvious answers; I also know how to play my class, I know what rotations to use and I know tactics for any boss I'm about to take on. I also listen to instructions carefully as well as offer relevant suggestions with things I have either done myself or seen done in the past.

Additional things to add?
Thought I should add a little about me as a human, as wow is all about the players!
Hi! My names Chris, I'm 21 and I live in the UK. I'm currently a student studying Music production at Leciester Uni with hope to get a BSc in two years time. I don't work right now, but I'm looking to get into the music industry once I've finished my degree. I live away from home right now in Northampton (don't ask lol) and tend to keep to myself to some extent but play wow a fair amount.

- I also know you're full on hunters, but I was hoping my past experiences and people who I know would give me a shot! not only this, but I want a proper raiding guild to go into WotLK with so I can get to 80 gear up and start raiding asap; I want to be at the top in this expansion and I think bloodpack is the place to do it in!
Please don't hesitate to contact me ingame if you have any questions or want to know something more

Regards,
Christov

We're happy to throw you an invite as a 'social' spot till we're 80 again. You're not geared enough for our current raids. If that's ok with you, whisper me or Rhiannon for an invite.
