Why are you applying to Bloodpack?
Well I spoke some to Deatharon, and he told me you were full on mages, but I decided to try my luck anyway
Have you played with anyone in Bloodpack before, who might vouch for you?
I dont know anyone in Bloodpack, and I dont recall ever having played with any of you, but if you want to test my skills and stuff, you can always PM me about a heroic or a karazhan run in-game.

What previous guilds have you been in, and why are you planning to/have you left your last guild?
On my mage Ive not really been in any serious guilds. Only done some PvP, and I'm now planning to bring it to a higher level.
On my shaman I still play with my old guild, and I do not intend to leave it, but Ill try to make a rotation between the two for raids, and hopefully we dont raid the same days. Atleast I asked Deatharon, and he told me you guys raid friday+saturday, which are offdays in my shamans guild.

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 out playing a hunter in beta around december 2004. Then when WoW hit I made a shaman, which I've been playing on ever since.
I played hardcore PvE raiding in pre-TBC, where my guild was one of the world best horde guilds (Original Sin), but in TBC, I decided to relax a bit on raiding, so I played casually, untill I decided to start my own guild with a friend. it quickly became serious, weve now cleared MH, and were on the 7th boss in BT.
On my shaman I have around 220 days of played time :p, and on my mage its only around 30 days.

I play a mage because I love its kiting abilities and ability to control mass waves. I think its a very hard class to be good at, but once you finally manage it, you can do almost everything.
Mages are great AOE'ers and decent single-target DPS.

Raiding

How interested are you in PvE raiding?
PvE is mainly the reason I play wow. I love the teamwork it includes, and the amount of players it requires.
Ive been playing PvE since May 2005, and I will never grow tired of it. Farming an instance Ive done a 1000 times before isnt a problem either.
I also think its cool to be a part of a guild that grows stronger with every week passing, yet I understand there can be causes to stepbacks.

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.)
Pre-TBC Ive killed everything up untill 4 Horsemen in Naxxramas, and in TBC Ive killed everything up untill Mother Shahraz.
Doing heroics might be a problem, but I can help out if its really needed. Basically heroics do not mean much to me, which is probably due to the low amount of players required.

How much time can you make available in a week for raiding?
I can play friday, saturday, and sometimes sunday. I heard you start raids at 19:30 which suits me fine, because thats when my shamans guild starts invites too. Also, due to summer coming up, I will have more play-time as soon as my exams are over.

What PvE-related add-ons do you use?
Omen(Threat overview), DBM(Boss-warnings), CTRA (Raid-frames)
Furthermore I find Focustarget rather useful for sheeping and counterspelling, although its mostly used in PvP I guess.

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?
Well I play some arenas, some battlegrounds, duel some in Durotar, play some Heroics if my friends ask me. I always make sure I got enough pots for the coming raids. Otherwise I just stand in orgrimmar and chat to people.

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?
Well I have about 2k gold, so enchants wont be a problem. Yes, I have no enchant on my weapon, but thats because I just got it :p.
I bring Superior Wizard oil, Blackened Basilisk Food, Flasks of Supreme Power, Elixirs and pots for raids, I must admit, though, that Im not a spammer. I try to time them for attempts I believe in, so I can give myself all out, when it really counts, instead of running dry before good attempts have even started.

Additional things to add?
I want to join Bloodpack because you seem like an interesting guild. Not many guilds focus on what happens outside raids too, but that is a place I can contribute a lot in aswell, so I wanted to find a guild, that appreciated peoples "attendance" outside raids too.
Im not a whiner nor a loot whore. Im 20 years old and study in Denmark.
I know when to play serious, and stop the casual chatting on vent. There can be limits, I guess O_o

Anyway, that was all I could think of right now, but if you feel like ive missed out on some information, you can always send me an in-game mail, or try to catch me in-game too.

Denmark Oo... Ja tak !

Thumbs up

Could you logout in full PVE gear? I think we're pretty full on mages indeed, but it's a small 'plus' you're ranged. Either way, I do love to see your PVE gear.

Cheers

Yeah, I'll log out in PvE gear next time :p
Although it wont be the prettiest view

Thanks for applying m8. After talking to the officers, we decided to take you in. We expect you to raid atleast 2 raids everyweek and be a PVE specc for the raids.

Awesome. Thanks for giving me a shot.
Tonight I wont be online for an invite, but tomorrow I'll be ready!
