*** Application Enquiry ***
 
Why do you want to join Redrum Inc and what do you feel you will bring to the guild?
-I know your cousins from TVC server and them being one of the better raiding guilds over there. I tried to apply there but they didn't need another DK and I thought to look you guy's up and saw an opening for a DK. I have been looking for a raiding guild ever since my previous guild has fallen apart. And seeing only 2 options on TVC, Redrum Inc and YOGS, I decided to switch server since most of my friends already did so.
 
When did you start playing WoW and what previous raiding experience do you have?
-I started playing WoW about 4 months after its release. Mostly in that time I played a casual game and raiding around 3 day’s a week. This all changed when the first expansion hit the stores and my first guild transformed to a more raiding guild. And later on in TBC when I switched servers to join Unity of the Alliance. From WotLK we were the third alliance raiding guild on the server until 2 months ago when it kinda started to fall apart.
 
Pre TBC: ZG, MC and some in BWL
TBC: All except Sunwell
WotLK: All raid instances except some bosses inICC10/25 and none on HM in ICC.
 
Which previous guilds have you been a member of and why did you leave them?
- Unity of the Alliance: Since the time I joined TBC server I have been with Unity. First raiding KZ and later on MH and BT with great success for a causal guild, at least we weren’t a real raiding guild yet. This changed with WotLK. With some great successes in 25man raids and some big ones with 10man HM raids. To be honest if Unity didn’t fall apart I wouldn’t leave them.
 
Have you recently applied to any other guilds, or are you planning to?
- I don’t have any applications open at this moment and I won’t make a new 1 before I know if I’m accepted or declined for this 1.
 
 
Under which circumstances would you stop playing WoW or leave the guild?
- The only reason at this moment I can figure out to leave WoW is that RL needs me. I find WoW a great game to relax in and it takes a lot of time from me, which I don’t mind, but RL will come first if that even happens.
 
 
Our raiding schedule is Sunday to Thursday from 19:00 to 23:30 server time. How many days a week, on average, would you be able to attend?
- I should be able to join all raiding day’s unless I need to work evenings. This happens around 3 days a month.
 
 
What do you feel your class and spec bring to the raid? Do you feel like you need to explain some talent choices in the spec you have chosen?
-Mostly I bring some good and steady dps to the raid. The spec I choose is always what the raid needs. I’ve been frost dps and even blood (didn’t like it that much). But at the moment unholy is the best dps spec around there. The buffs that blood and frost dk’s bring can also be given by other classes in the game, but Ebon Plague on the other hand is more difficult for other classes to spread around multiple targets at the same time if they don’t want to sacrifice there dps.
 
 
Are you willing to change your talent spec to help the guild, and if so, do you have gear for any off-specs already?
-If needed I can respect to frost dps, even blood. But I dislike blood a bit.
 
 
Please explain the reasons behind your choice of professions.
-Jewelcrafting has some nice prismatic gems to improve the stat you use a bit more and provides a good income on TVC.
 
Alchemy I used to make flasks for the guild, but lately that hasn’t been needed and I switched from elixir master to transmutation master to create some epic gems.
 
 
Do you have a good computer and a stable internet connection?
-I have a 30mb line which is very stable and have an ingame latency from around 30-50 ms in raids. My comp aint the best, but it’s reliable.
 
CPU: intel Q6600 2.4GHz, RAM: 4GB, Grafics: Ati 4850 512MB
 
 
Do you have Ventrilo installed and a working microphone and will you be vocal?
- I have been using Vent from TBC and on, but haven’t used a mic for some time. I’ll buy 1 if it’s needed for the interview.
 
What is your position on PvP?
-
I have pvp gear, although not that good. Normally I don’t pvp much since my first partner stopped.
 
What is your position on roleplaying?
-
Haven’t done it for a long time, but isn’t life a big roleplay?!
 
Do you know anyone in Redrum who can vouch for you? If so, please state their names (Do NOT mention someone here unless you have already contacted them and they have agreed to vouch for you).
-
None I can think off.
 
Have you read the guild rules, and do you have any comments on them? (the guild rules can be found by clicking on 'About Us' on the menu bar)
-Read them and I don't have any comments about them.
 
Is there anything else that you would like to tell us?
-Just want to thank you for reading this application and if I’m accepted for trial I can transfer almost instantly (takes 1 hour) since this is my week of work.

In no less than 100 words please justify your decision to select "Night Elf" at the character select screen and not "Dwarf".

I choose Night elf over dworf cause of the less hit it suffers and the shadowmeld advantage for pvp, but since my arena partner stopped I barely have any use for it except for tanking.

And to be honost who wants to be fat and small

We aren't after a tank though, so the only decent racial you don't even use. Now think about it, you could have frost resistance AND find treasure as well as having the best model in game.

I know you aren't after a tank, but it's my offspec and for my current guild I needed to tank a lot also on 10man. SO this wasnt a bad choice for me.

For the model I like human and gnome better then dworf, but it's a personal choice.

Actually, we ARE after a tank...

Since we have 2 active raiding DK's who are DPS only and do not tank, we decided it necessary to recruit a 3rd DK, however, this spot was aimed to be for Half DPS and Half Tank.

We currently have 3 main tanks: 1 warrior, 1 druid, 1 paladin, which suits us fine for 25 man raiding requirements, however, when it comes to 10 mans, this means we dont have enough 'official' tanks to run 2 x 10 mans, without having to ask someone to respec.

Similarly, if one of our 3 main tanks is missing one day for a 25 man raid, and we're faced with a 3 tank boss (such as putricide), again, we'd be in the situation where we'd have to ask a non-tank to offspec.

So yeah, to sum up, we are aiming here, to recruit a DK who is both willing to, and skilled at tanking, but at the same time can hold his own on the DPS meters when not required to tank.


The path of the righteous raider is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil hordes. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and goodwill, shepherds the noobs through the valleys of Northrend, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of epic loots. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to gank and pwn my brothers. And you will know my name is Kann when I lay my post upon thee.

Don't listen to the boomkin His opinion doesn't count! You've clearly put a fair bit of effort into your application. Good luck getting in, I'm not an expert on DK's so I wont embarrass myself by passing comment.

I don't mind tanking from time to time. Altho I doubt my gear is enough for ICC25 HM it will sertainly be enough for 10man normall/HM and 25man.

My main focus tho is on dps gear. I have saved up almost enough to get 2 tier pieces (need 3 frost emblems), but I wanted to wait till I can get the t10.5 upgrades for them before buying them. But since that won't happen in my current guild I'll save up some more for more pieces and hoping for VoA drops in the mean time.

You should get the 251 t10 as soon as you can as you need them anyway for the 264.

Sorry, I see a DK in dps gear and assume you were applying for a 25 man DPS spot. Clearly I was mistaken. I was really only trying you to become a dwarf.
