Why are you applying to Bloodpack? I’m looking for a raiding Guild with a good core of dedicated raiders and Bloodpack seems to be a dedicated guild. Also looking to have a good time and look forward to new challenges during raids.

Have you played with anyone in Bloodpack before, who might vouch for you? Played with Shifthappens in Chains of Promathia a short while.

What is your current guild and why are you planning to leave? Hostile, alot of slacking going on latley, having troubles getting raids groups going and alot of old friends from Chains of Promathia left because of it, so I feel no desire to stay.

What previous guilds have you been in? Dark Secrets, played as Holy Paladin named Eivul during my time there before I decided to leave and re-roll my Priest. Joined Chains of Promathia with my Priest and been there until it recently disbanded because the GM decided to quit. Deliverence, left shortly after cause I wanted to give Hostile a try since alot of old Chains of Promathia members decided to form a new guild.

Do you currently have any pending application with any other guild? If yes, who with? Got one in Lazybones, still no reply, if I get accepted here I will withdraw my application with Lazybones.

What interests and hobbies do you have outside of the game? Go out with friends having a good time, watch movies and listen to music, I also draw alot on my spare time.

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? Yes I am.

How do you fill your playing time when not raiding? I play on Alts or try to make some Achivements.

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? Of course. I use Flask of The Frost Wyrm and Crit Rating food, also bring Mana Potions. I always take more than enough consumables with me.

Why have you chosen your particular spec/class? How familiar are you with the your class' other specs? Would you be willing to respec if the raid required it?
I chose to level a Priest cause I thought the Shadow specc looked like alot of fun so I wanted to try it out. I started to love it more and more so I decided to start playing Priest as my main. I’ve tried some healing in Holy specc, still researching about spell rotations cause mine doesn’t seem to work very well. Also tried Discipline a little, doing some PVP with that specc, also tried it in a Ulduar 10-man Raid.
I’m still working on my healing gear, don’t have a full set but if the raid needs me to re-specc I can do it of course but it will be moslty with my Shadow gear on so my mana regen is a bit low for healing atm.

Do you use external resources (such as 3rd party forums, spreadsheets, simulations) to research your class and spec? Give examples if so. I mainly use shadowpriest.com, has some tips and ideas on spell rotations. Other than that I read the Forums on mmo-champion.com
I also gladly listen to tips other players have to give me on how to improve.

Any additional things you'd like to add?
I’m a dedicated raider and i’m more than willing to spend time on progress raiding, nothing beats the feeling of downing a new boss after some time of trying. The progress raids are the best thing with raiding to me, and having fun along the way is something I like as well.
I focus 100% during raids, I always listen to the raid leader and do whatever he/she says.
I’m also a bit shy so I might not talk that much at first, takes a little time for me to losen up when I meet new people.

I understand you research on players that apply so thought I would mention two of the officers in Chains of Promathia since it disbanded, if you want to ask them about me.

Not sure I want to add anything more, so thanks for your time.

My Armory Link didn't seem to be linked properly, tried copy-paste but didn't seem to work so not sure what I did wrong there

Added in your armory link - unregistered people can't link urls, an anti-spam measure. Thanks for the application, we'll get back to you shortly.

Nice app.

I have a question though.

As you have applications in with Lazybones and Bloodpack, which is your preferred destination and why?

I died in-game while reading this application, which is a good thing!

Some things never change ... fire by any chance?

Both Guilds seem dedicated and know what they want to get out of raiding, but I feel Bloodpack is more dedictaed to the challenges like hard mode achivements.
What i'm looking for is a Guild dedicated to progress and after progress dedicate themselves to make the hard mode. Since I just don't wanna clear the content and then just farm it every week like my previous guilds, it gets very boring farming the same raid over and over again and not even try to make the achivements, even if the raid is on farm I still want a challenge after it's on farm.
So if have to chose between Bloodpack and Lazybones I have to say Bloodpack, since it feels that you have the same goals as I do when it comes to raiding. Enjoy the progress, after the progress try to make the hard mode while having a good time.

Anyway Windigo, very nice application and we've also decided to give you a trial, please whisper myself (Findecano) or Rhiannon in-game for an invite.

Okay, thanks I will as soon as i've talked to my GM telling that i'm leaving Hostile and such
