Character Name and Class:
Kwong, Death Knight
Please post your time played (/played) for the character you wish to join on:
Total time played: 17 hours, 56 minutes, 44 seconds
Time played this level: 12 hours, 46 minutes, 45 seconds
Have you been a member of other guilds, prior to deciding to join us?
Yes, I was in ME SO HORDIE and Eternal Silence.
If you answered yes to the previous question, why did you decide to leave / create an alt within IPiM?
I left ME SO HORDIE because they'd invite everyone, resulting in a guild where gchat is flooded and you have people begging for raids and such.
I was in Eternal Silence on an alt, the reason for finding a new guild is because they were the exact opposite, too few in the guild meant that there were very few raids we could do, mostly just doing 5 mans. I also felt that it was always the same 3-5 people that would need to start a raid, with very little initiative from what other members we had.
What are your reasons for deciding to join us?
I like the idea of a casual and fun guild that also likes to raid. I also used to play on the Frozen Realm like many of your officers/members, only I was on the Alliance side in the guild Knights Noir. When it was announced that Frozen would become first the PTR, and then the Molten Realm, I decided to take a break from WoW. Just this summer, me and a couple of RL friends decided to come back. As IPiM is one of the bigger/more successful Horde guilds on Magic, I thought I'd take the time to try to get in.

Class Based Questions
These questions aim to help us gain an understanding of how well you know your class.
What stat to your prioritise for your class? If there is more than one, please list them.

Post a link, or take a screenshot of your current talent build. Please include glyphs.
DPS: talent.mmo-champion.com/?deathknight#_CJEceqI6oeWdEg,9eHO3e,12148
EDIT: I realize that my dps spec is sub-optimal, because of the points in Rune Tap, this is mostly personal preference, as I use it when soloing on my character, I will readily take those points and put them into dps-improving talents.
Tank: talent.mmo-champion.com/?deathknight#tSQepSB71LC5n,bOJO3e,12148
On my current DK, you can see that I haven't exactly been playing him for a long time, and I have yet to get the glyphs included on that talent build, but those are the glyphs I would use.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Blood Plague (via Plague Strike)

4. Death Strike
5. Runic Dump (via Death Coil or Dancing Rune Weapon)
6. Heart Strikes
7. Death Strike
8. Runic Dump
9. Horn of Winter

1. Icy Touch
2. Plague Strike
3. Pestilence

6. Blood Boils
7. Death Strike
8. Runic Dump
9. Horn of Winter
How do you manage your threat? Do you use any addons to help you with this?
I'm specced into Subversion, reducing threat while in Blood Presence. I also use Omen3 to keep track of threat. As DK's have no threat reducing ability (Fade, Cower, etc.) I stop DPS if for some reason, the tank can't hold aggro.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Please post your tanking rotation. If you do not use a rotation, please briefly explain your skill priority.
The Blood Tanking rotation is the same as that of the Blood DPS rotation, except that you include Rune Strike.
How do you manage your threat? Do you use any addons to help you with this?
Again, I use Omen3 to keep track of threat. I use Frost Presence (aside from the other benefits to tanking, also increases threat generated).
A raid member pulls some adds. Briefly explain how you re-establish control of the mob.
Throw down a Death and Decay, if the raid member is smart and hasn't attacked all of them, most if not all of the adds should aggro me, if any happen to continue attacking the raid member, Dark Command and Death Grip can both be used to pull them off. At this point, I should have all the adds attacking me, and I can get back into the tanking rotation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
About you:
Which aspect of the game do you enjoy most? For example, PvE, PvP, Achievements, Battlegrounds etc.
I would say that I enjoy PvE the most, as the experience of going through a raid with other players and working together is irreplaceable. I also like to PvP casually, mostly when I'm bored.
This is the guild tabard (Click Me). Describe it in one word.
Homosexual.
(Nothing wrong with that.)
The guild master approaches you, asking for sexual favours. What do you do?
But...but....that's ILLEGAL! (Though I doubt being under-aged would help me here, so, yes I would love some candy Mister!)
It is very likely a guild member will molest you sometime during your stay. Is this ok?
"You'll never know until you try it" seems to apply here.
One evening, when exploring dalaran within a dark alley, you find two guild members bullying a gnome for his lunch money. What do you do?
I'd guess I'd join in. Peer pressure is a bitch.
Is there anything you would like to add? Hobbies? Area of work / study? What makes life great!
I like hanging with my friends, watching movies, playing basketball, stuff like that. Friends and video games make life great. Going into Gr. 10 in High School.
I'd like to add that I think that I'd be a great addition to your guild, and I hope to see you all in game.
