Personal information

Age:25
Nationality:Danish
Your Time Zone:GMT+1

When are you usually online?
Usually online from around midday till evening. Time I log off varies, depending on raid days or not, and weekend or not.

We raid from 20.00-00:00PM (server time) on Wednesday and Sunday nights. Does that fit your schedule?
Yep that is no problem, and 2x4 hours suits me better than those guys raiding 3x3 hours.


Your PC/internet
AMD x6 1090t gpu
AMD 6870 gpu
4gb ram
Sennheiser headset
25/25mbit fibre optic internet

Is your connection stable?
Yep, never had any problems, usually around 15-30ms

Do you have Mumble and a working microphone and are willing to speak? Communication during raid is always essential
I do not have Mumble, but I'd get it instantly My microphone works fine and yes, I'm willing to speak. However the first couple of days I'll be a bit silent, while getting to know people.

Do you use a Blizzard Authenticator?
Yes, I use a mobile authenticator on my android phone.


About you and raid experience
I've been playing since may 2005, on/off. I didn't play for most of TBC and I didn't play Cataclysm at all. I'm 25 years old, and currently studying part time, so I've got quite a lot of spare time. It's been some time since I've raided(wotlk) but I don't think that'll be a problem at all.

What add-ons do you currently use for raids?
I use a heavily modifed tukui called NishaUI, with a few extra addons. It has all the basics as Dot-timers etc. but I also have DBM, recount and HaloPro(priest addon for halo optimal distance).

What is your raid experience including all Vanilla, BC, WotLK and Cataclysm raids. Name the class and spec you played for each one if different to your current Main character.
Back in vanilla I raided MC, BWL, ZG and onyxia, though none of those can hardly be compared to todays raiding. In wotlk I started raiding semi-hardcore after clearing Naxx 10+25 in pugs. I cleared all of Ulduar 10+25 and all of the hardmodes in Ulduar 10. I did some of them in Ulduar 25 too.
After Ulduar I raided both TOC 10+25 with a tribute to insanity in 10man. Then I raided ICC 10+25 with some heroics.
For all my vanilla raiding, I played rogue.
All of wotlk, was this priest or my DK(mostly the priest). And now I just raid on the priest, having completed full LFR only, but looking to get back into raiding.

Previous guilds and reasons for leaving them?
Last serious guild was Kapow! in wotlk on the Tarren Mill server. The guild disbanded right around the end of the expansion, and it felt naturally for me to take a break from the game there.


About you and your view on you class and World of Warcraft
Uh well, I love my priest however I do miss how they functioned mechanics-wise in wotlk(OP mind sear ftw). Atm. I feel like they could use 5-10% more single target dps, but we excell on cleave fights, so that kinda equals out I guess.
I like most of the stuff they did in MoP, however I dislike the way the buff and nerf classes in general. Eg. they hit them hard with the nerfbat and destroy a class or buff them too much. There no middle ground for Blizzard.

Why did you choose your class/spec?
The reason actually dates back all the way to vanilla when Arathi Basin was introduced. I was minding my business defending the Lumber Mill and suddenly a shadowy figure mindcontrolled me and threw me off the cliff. I remember thinking; I want one of those.
However it was not fun levelling a priest back then, so I first got around to it right as wotlk started. Haven't looked back since really, though I wish mind control still lasted 30-40 seconds :p

What is your view on progress raids?
I expect everyone to perform optimally, and be ready right on time. Eg. bring food, flasks, full repaired and so on. Also I expect people to study tactics before going to raid, so the raidleader have an easier time explaining mechanics to people. Other then that, I don't see it much differently than normal raids, as I'm competitive and always strive to perform well. I do not waste flasks in LFR though

What is your view on farm raids in periods where there is nothing to progress on?
The same as the answer before, except I don't feel the need to study fights. I do however expect people to be ready for the raids so everything goes smooth.

What do you think about raid related achievements?
If you mean Glory of "some-raid" achievements, I love them! It brings new life to the encounters when you have them on farm, and a new sexy mount is always welcome. It's a nice feeling after dedicating so much time to what usually is very difficult, when finally getting the achieves.


Anything important that you want to add?
I feel like I'm ready for raiding again, so I hope you guys feel I fit in aswell. I don't think there's anything I forgot in the other answers, so no more to add.

Thanks for the application - we will come back to you asap - hopefully by the end of the weekend.
