Are you the original owner of the account/character you're applying with? yes i am.

What framerate do you generally play at in 25 man raids? Is your PC and internet connection reliable? What's your average latency to the game servers during evenings?
im ussualy around 40-50 fps and latency is always around 150 (unless server is being a pain)

Why are you applying to Bloodpack?
i am currently in a guild wich is a bit frozen on progress also i am on this realm now for around 2 years and im just looking for a place to make a fresh start.

Have you played with anyone in Bloodpack before, who might vouch for you?
as i mentioned its a fresh start so i dont know anyone

What is your current guild and why are you planning to leave?
i am currently in Quality on the eonar realm, reason for leaving is slow progress while we can do alot better but people just slack also,
our raid roster is messed up because of wednessday loggers and stuff like that, there are several realm first still up for grabs and this is being said often enough but
people just dont care. also im a bit tired of playing with the same people ( not the good ones i like those ofc) over and over again these people hinder me in
having fun in this game and that is eventually the reason i play it. (ofc i dont mind playing with "bad" people unless good people are getting swapped out for them on important stuff.

What previous guilds have you been in?
since my stay on eonar,
on level 70: The logical cube, got some real life issues had to take a break up till wotlk.
on level 80: Ace a simple naxx raiding guild disbanded due to raid slackers.
Nocturnum: grea guild decided to disband after lot of top palyers left and not being able to do ulduar.
Cause and Effect: went to horde side to merge with an already horde guild (i couldnt afford transfer at the time so decided to leave.)
The logical cube: went back to my old guild but had changed to much old friends left so couldnt enjoy myself here anymore.
Quality: saved up some money and went to horde to join my old guild cause and effect (renamed after merge) still in there now


If this is a cross-realm application, should you be accepted for trial, how soon can you transfer here?
within a day of my acceptance

Do you currently have any pending application with any other guild? If yes, who with?
no i dont.

Do you have any high level alt characters? Have you raided with them before?
i have an 80 shaman who was my main during ulduar (elemental)
and i have an 80 mage did ulduar and up on him (arcane)

What interests and hobbies do you have outside of the game?
mostly other games really into the total war series spending alot of free time on napoleon now.

With blizzard adding optional "hard-modes" to future encounters, we're intending to beat the more difficult version of each fight, not just the basic version. Are you prepared to spend the time re-learning encounters to beat them in their hardest incarnations?
i always have been up for the "hard"work wich is one of the reasons to look for a guild that also does these.

Are you prepared to sit out if an encounter requires a certain raid composition for which you are not ideal?
yes this is no problem for me.

How do you fill your playing time when not raiding?
playing on my level 60 hunter, doing dailys, having fun in trade channel and standing afk rounds it up i think.

Raiding's not cheap. Flasks, potions, buff food, and of course repairs all cost money and time, and so does keeping your gear gemmed and chanted properly. Are you able to support your raiding expenses? What consumables do you typically use?
i always have the best enchants in my gear slots, also raid food and such is not a problem
i ussually bring flasks of endless rage, potion of speed, dragon fin filets, and sometimes depending on current gear, hit/crit food

Why have you chosen your particular spec/class? How familiar are you with your class' other specs? Would you be willing to respec if the raid required it? Do you have dual-spec?
i am currently unholy since i think its the best dps at the moment i wasn't always unholy or dps, in naxx i was blood dps in ulduar/totc i was blood tank now i am unholy so i have experience in all trees both dps and tanking.
my current duel specc is unholy pvp but if needed i can spec blood dps/tank

What is the general gearing strategy you follow for your class? Please be as specific as possible.
i always save up my dkp for one item wich i need the most so i always look for the biggest upgrade not a bit of str or arp and make someone else loose it when its a better upgrade for him.
also i make sure i only take items that i can use right away (not take a item that makes me go under hit cap and need to wait for another upgrade to get it again).

Please give a brief description of how you go about doing your job in a raid. What's your DPS cycle/priority system if you're a DPS? What spells do you use in what situations as a healer? How do you go about maximising threat whilst minimising incoming damage, as a tank? What more is there to tanking than those two aspects? Use a particular boss fight as an example if it will make it easier to talk about.
on single target fight i use the basic UH rotation, PS,IT,BS,BS,SS,DC,SS,horn,SS,DC,ss,ss,DC on fights that has AoE in it i replace 1 BS with pestilence to spread my decaeses. on bigger aoe requirments i also throw in D&d. i mostly use my cooldowns when i have the most procs up so my gargoyle does maximum damage.


Do you use external resources (such as 3rd party forums, spreadsheets, simulations) to research your class and spec? Give examples, links, and commentary if so.
i use a couple of sites to read up whats best for DKs at the moment such as elitisjerks and the ensidia site,
also i like to read mmo-champion to keep me updated on inc changes to the game.

How do the professions you've chosen benefit you in raids?
i have enchanting wich gives me some nice ring enchants 2x 40 AP.
and i have jewelcrafting for the dragon eye gems.

Please provide a recent combat log parse (e.g. WWS, WMO, WoL) of your character in a raid environment if you have access to one.
sorry i dont i haven't been raiding the last week and the raid before that i was only there for progress night i.e no kills. (our WoL guy doesnt make logs from wednesday (from all bosses) for some reason i dont know why.)

Any additional things you'd like to add?
thank you for reading my application and if you need me u can contact me ingame or mail me at daniel_knulst@hotmail.com

Thanks for the application. I'm afraid that we really need an applicant who can reliably make our Friday and Monday raids, so on that basis I'm afraid I will have to decline your application. Good luck elsewhere.
