(1) Character Name: Zombieshow
(2) Class and Level: lvl 80 Caek Knight
(3) Talent Specialisations:(a) Mainspec Unholy Damage - see below armory link
(b) Offspec Blood Tanking - see below armory link
*Note: I will not respec to anything else, in case you wonder (except minor changes to the current specs if anyone has some issues or i overlooked something). Having a Tank OS is too convenient for me and i don´t see a real reason to play something else than i would like to which is these both specs with the current state of the game mechanics.*
(4) Professions: Mining / Jewelcrafting (both maxxed out)
(5) Armory Profile: http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Talnivarr&cn=Zombieshow(6) What is your rotation/priority order in a normal boss encounter?Let´s see...
Icy Touch->Plaguestrike (or vice versa, depends on if i run towards a mob or not during a pull)->BloodStrike->ScourgeStrike->BloodStrike->priority system (keep diseases up, ScourgeStrike, Coil>Bloodstrike with frost subspec); popping garg when i have couple of temporary buffs like trinkets/setbonus/Bloodlust. Using army dependant on fight.
(7) Why have you chosen to play this spec, and explain your talent choices?Blood: i don´t like it, feels just like a retribution paladin with the hassle of keeping diseases up.
Frost: played it a few times, it´s quite interactive to play, fast-paced, but too proc dependant imo (rime/killing machine combo)...too unreliable for my taste, plus it has very little room for mistakes if you want to push the limit.
Unholy: my favorite spec, boosting casters with ebon plague (specially aoe fights), my ghoul always ready to take small jobs like deal with adds or stay on boss when i have to hide etc., diseases still do their job when i gotta get some distance from my target or switch away temporarily. and finally, dualwielding death knights in comparison seem so un-lore to me

(9) Other lvl 80 Characters (do you really wanna know?...):*most of my alts i just pushed from 70 to 80 when there was nothing to do on my main, partially so i can see class mechanics*
- Prot Paladin (old alliance main) - my 1st character made on WoW release back then
- Druid (alliance) - just levelled her when i was bored but that´s it
- Shaman (troll) - just casual alt, xfactioned him for enchanting purposes and easier primordial saronite access when they used to cost 800g each
- Priest (undead) - just levelled when i was bored to have a healer alt to see how healing works on priests
- Prot Warrior (orc, other server) - my old TBC main char, haven´t played him actively since WotLK came out and his guild disbanded during the xpack
- Mage (other server) - alt char from TBC on same server as warrior, just dragged him along
(10) Previous Guilds:* Vanilla: Moonlight Council, and iirc 1-2 other guilds before or after, so long ago i can´t even remember which i was officer in once apart from the nightmares it brought with it...
* TBC: Started the xpack on my Pala, but went Horde with a friend, was in 2 guilds there of which the 2nd one successfully cleared BT pre-talent patch when everything was a cake afterwards
* WotLK: Returned to Pala, it beats me atm what our guild was called, but after a change of mind (you know when you play a char just out of habit but not really interested in the class anymore or too many bad memories) i stopped playing him and went alting/pugging (that´s why i had time on my hands to level so many alts). Had a 1.5 week trial in <Ress Plz> but some basic things disturbed me there so i left before promotion to regular member (heard later that they disbanded the same week - too bad, the raid leaders seemed to have done their homework for that matter).
(11) My raid times/days:
I can most probably attend at least 2 of the official raid days. If things are serious and my presence is required on specific days, i need to know beforehand to make 100% sure i don´t get called to a surprise workshift. Starting at 19PM is just on the edge, a bit early for my taste but it´s doable.
(12) Why did you leave last Guild?My last real guild i left the same time when i stopped playing Paladin as main early wotlk, main reasons was playing with some old shitters from the past and bad memories came up and on the other hand i lacked time for being serious fulltime tank anyway. As mentioned above, the few ResPlz raids where i participated were pretty much okay, but that was all about it. My CL didn´t talk more than a few words with me and with a few exceptions like Tabulator or so, gchat was mostly silent/non-responsive and most people weren´t arsed to to some 10man events apart from main raids, not even on alts...or they did it anonymously. Maybe it was all summer break, or they were swe, fook knows.
(13) Is this your account and you have worked this char to lvl 80 and collected the gear it has?My account since dawn of WoW, not sharing/shared it with anyone.
(14) Previous MMORPGs:Haven´t really played "mmorpgs" before this, but loads of other games, rts, adventures etc. etc..
You: <--- meQ: How old are you?: 31
Q: Nationality?: german (roots in croatia+serbia)
Q: Pre-TBC raid experience with full clears: MC, ZG, AQ20, BWL.
Q: TBC-raid experience: Cleared all content legit there as tank, except SWP.
Q: WotLK-raid experience: (EXPLAIN IN DETAIL)
- Naxxramas/Obsidian Sanctum/Malygos (10+25): Raided and cleared it normally. I´ve ran loads of pugs to those places in 10man and 25man.
- Ulduar 10: Had a nice raid team with friends which we cleared everything (couple of achiev´s too) up to yoggy where ppl usually were overcome by some sleep addiction all of a sudden (well, mostly work shedules in the morning). played those as pala, shaman, DK later a bit, all specs.
- Just ran a few Uld25 pugs but focussed on my 10man team later, couldnt be arsed anymore to explain every week to different people not to stand in fires.
- ToC: Cleared just the normal modes, didn´t do it on HC without a solid raid team, nor did i feel the need to do that shitplace more than needed after awesomeness of Ulduar. I hate optically badly designed raid environment. Plus a raid instance where shitters can´t die on trash just isn´t the real deal.
- ICC-10: Cleared it with a nice group of Madhouse ppl. We also did a couple of achievements on the run.
- ICC-25: Pugged most stuff on friday evening premades with Madhouse alts/unsaved mains until recently. Did Sindragosa+LK and some HM´s during my trial in RessPlz, yay gayslayer25 !
Q: Do you have Ventrilo v3.x?: Yes
Q: Do you have a microphone to go along with that? Yes
Q: Would you be able to spend an entire evening just trying and learning an encounter? Normally yes.
Q: Also would you be willing to join a raid late even if it was to 11/12? The later, the better for me.
Q: If we are close to getting a boss down would you be willing to stay past the set raid time end of 23:30? Yes
Q: Will you turn up to every wednesday and thursday raid? I can arrange it, which means i call off/move my parttimejob workshifts to other days in a very painful and mind exhausting conversation process with my boss.
Q: Do you try and keep up to date with current theory on your class? Yeah, i drop by those nerdy websites usually after ability changes to hear some opinions, then see what´s best for me.
Presentation:* Do you have any other open applications with any other guilds at this time? Nop.
* Why do you want to join Ransom? Partially because i got in some conversations about my puglife/altlife where someone told me you´d possibly need a skilled unholy DK player for high quality wipe content and i am bored of running pugs atm or joining some fail groups. Seems like everyone has the gear but thinks content is impossible to beat.
* People in Ransom that you know? Played with tabulator, rushmong, krxy, djevel, prolly some others, but i´m too lazy to browse your guild roster now
* IRL interests, hobbies, work, girl/boyfriend, school etc: I´m a student with a parttime job, graduating soon, currently no GF or planning to get one, hobbies are mostly literature/movie and PC based.
* Why should we consider recruiting you?
For the matter of raid content experience, you got your requirenments fulfilled with me and my toon. I like doing achievements when content is cleared, especially since the introduction of small rewards, or else i get bored quickly of repetitive stuff. Apart from that, i know most game mechanics and classes very well and am serious about being a member of a guild with skilled players or just fanny ones when i see it´s worth my time and i can afford time for WoW. My acc is clear of any bad reputation or rumors which is quite rare these days, i do my homeworks when preparing for raids, and if someone is looking for discussions or just wants to talk trash about swedish fanbois, i´m your friend. A small thing to bring up would be the next semester where my available raid days might change, but you can still kick my butt and demote me to social or worse. If my membership works out for both of us, ill put some effort so my uni times don´t overlap with serious guild days.
we have spoken alot ingame and I have heard a few good things about you. So on that note I would like to offer you a trial at Ransom whisper an Officer or me for a guild invited Accepted
