Do you have pre-WotLK raiding experience, if so what?:
-----------------------------------------------------
- I have started out the game ever since Beta on the Stormrage server in the guild < Orion > and after that to < Elitism >. I've anticipated to every instance from the old Vanilla Wow. MC / BWL / Good oll'Onyxia AQ 40 and the outdoor bosses from the easrly begin stage's to the downing of the endbosses.
- In TBC i also been to all the raidinstances while being in < Elitism >. From Gruul up to the BT every boss up.
- When WotLK hit we went asap again to make progression from OS ( server first ) to Uld 25.
I had a short break due to personal things ( willing to explain if needed ) and switched server to Ghostlands. There i joined up with Blood and Tears and been in ToC 25 normal ( farm ) and heroic ToC 25 up to the Twins.

What 10 man and 25 man Ulduar bosses have you cleared and of which out of those bosses have you done on hard mode?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cleared all of Uld. 25. And did most of it's hardmode's in my former guild < Elitism > on the Stormrage server.


Character specific questions:
======================

Explain your current gear choices and how you hope to improve then in the future.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Atm i'm saving up for the 4s/p T9 bonus in order to max. out the bonus. Sadly i haven't realised it yet so i'm still packing the 2s/p T8,5 for the xtra DC dps bonus it's adding.
Str. / ArP / Exp. are prio for me atm since my hit is capped for both the melee and spell based attacks. The rest is based to my main stat's in order to max out the dps output.
I keep up to date with the Elitist yerks in order to keep my char. maxed out with the best gear i can collect any way possible ( xept ninja-ing)


Comment on how youve chosen to gem and enchant your character, and why you have chosen these gems/enchants.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I based my gems on str. since it's my main stat. I've adjusted most gems and chants towards the blood build and it's maxed stats.


What glyphs are you using and why?:
------------------------------------
Majors;
-------
- Dancing RW ; Due to the xtra 5 sec. for this special ability
- Dark Death ; 15% more crit chance + the sigil Veng. Heart add a huge dps output
- Death Strike ; the build up of runic power and xtra dmg done

Minors;
-------
- Horn of Winter ; To add a xtra min to the buff
- Raise Dead ; Easy going on the bagspace
- Pestilence ; For them AoE fights this one can be handy to kick over the deseases


Do you have any notable offspec gear and are you experience/up to date with the mechanics of playing your offspecs?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm still collecting my tank-set. It ain't totally there but i've tanked for my old guild in Nax 25 etc. Also some Uld 10 and Uld 25's.

For now i've dedicated my gear towards the Unholy and Blood Dps specs.


We require you to have at least one crafting profession (not engineering). If you have two gathering professions, would you be prepared to reroll one?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If i had it sure....but i don't =)



General questions:
==============

Previous guilds and reasons for leaving?
--------------------------------------
I started Wow from beta on. I was on the Stormrage server and started out with a Dworf Pally called Geoironfist. I was on the alliance side in a guild called Orion. We were the top guild on the server back then ( MC / BWL period ).
I decided to try out a dps class and made a alt ( Georg Orc Hunter) to play along with some friends. There i got the attention of the guild < Elitism >. They took me in and i kinda played BWL till Sunwell with my hunter in their ranks.

Then the expention came and i got permission to reroll a DK. I played from day one till about 3 months ago in < Elitism > as a DK. We were the top guild on the Stormrage server back then and last i checked they still are and that they deserve imo.
Like i said earlier i had to take a break due to a personal reason ( i'm willing to tell if needed in /w). Logical they took in another DK and therefore my raidspot was given away. I didn't intend to stay in as a social player and switched servers to Ghostlands to play with some rl friends.
I've played a few raids with Blood and Tears, mainly in ToC 10 and 25 both in heroic and normal mode's. Though Blood and Tears was a nice guild it wasn't totally the thing i was looking for. So we decided to end the trial leaving me looking for a guild again.


What role do you feel you provide in a raid and what areas of strengths do you feel your class and spec has over others?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've taken up a typical blood spec. 51 / 0 / 20 mainly due to the buff's provided for the raid and the max out dmg for my char. Also the Unholy spec gives the Dk a huge survivability making it easier on the healers. Kinda same goes for the Blood spec. as well.


What 1 thing would you change about your class if you could?
------------------------------------------------------------
It's race since i don't want to be a Orc DK anymore....and otherwise i would say some Blessing-throwing-around would be cool to have as well.


What do you think you can add to Eternals?
-------------------------------------------
Maybe even more raid xp. then you guys alrdy have. A Deathknight on a spectral Tigre and a kind experienced player willing to learn and is dedicated to raiding.


What do you think Eternals can do for you?
------------------------------------------
Offer a trial on the bench and get me in the field when needed.


Personal infomation; Name, age, where you live, interests/hobbies, Job and family that will nag you to stop raiding?

My name is George, i'm 32 years old / young and i'm born and raised in the Netherlands. My hobbies are sports, family, wow and chilling downtown. I work for the goverment.


Additional information which you would like to name?
