The healer's way

Atakheal — Thu, 07/31/2008 - 22:28

I dont know how many ppl could feel this about be a healer. Be a healer is hard, is my first time like healer high end-game and is a really hard spec to play, we have alot of random problems than we need to heal(watching ur mana, CDs targets, urself), move, avoid, run, surviving. Is a really intense keep healing every one cuz we know in every raid the heals are not perfect.

With Council... i learn  to use my mana like... i dont know what was a really hard test for me, intense and watching everyone how a lot of ppl was taking dmg, i think i cant find a better spec to play,

after 5% in Coulcil i was almost crying, i was so happy watching how this F* boss was goin down.

I ll say this is my best guild far too far from where i come, u guys dont know how mad i feel when sometimes i cant speak more cuz i cant or sometimes when i say bullsh*t haha, we did a really GJ in Council, we are doing BT really fast, and lets do this " Illidan its watting for us"

 PS: u guys....i love ya, DF guild is a familiar guild, funny with cool ppls.

 

and now i feel free and better LOL cya in-game

Grayvon - Gnome Mage

GrayVon — Thu, 07/31/2008 - 16:01

Woot  ... hit 70 finally on this char, started this guy at least 2 years ago and finally got around to giving him some time ... Must say also, of all the classes I've played to 70, Mage was by far the toughest on a PvP server.

While leveling I did the Fire talent route, but at 61 I swapped over to Ice for Outlands .. And just for fun I did a pure Arcane spec at 68 ... Was amazed at the DPS and Mana pool a Arcane spec gives and if it wasn't for the speed at which you go through that pool I would have stayed with it ... as it is, at 70 I went to a Fire/Arcane spec ... see it here ...

Guess my plans now are to work on the fishing so I can go get me a turtle .. and get into some raids, hoping we need mages more so then Rogues ...

If not, still have that 66 priest I can get to work on ...

We should all get one of these

$6.50 is a small price to pay for absolute account security. I'll be buying a dozen as soon as they're not sold out.

Rupt's life to change soon.

Disrupter — Wed, 07/30/2008 - 14:04

Hello all,

Things are going to change around my house a pretty substantially after this weekend.

I have been working for my Grandfather, "studying" his trading he does. A short explanation is, for dummies, we watch a chart that reflects data about the Market, and attempt to predict which way the market is going to go. If we're right, we make money, if we're wrong, we lose money. It's pretty simple "basics" but I'm going to be learning more and more about. He has been gone to Florida, to help teach the "basics" to a cousin of mine, but it's been realized that he isn't cut out for it, so he's finally coming home. He left me at home with an account, with just enough money in it to do the "simulated" or "paper" trading. It means I make the same calls I would make, but with no gains or losses attached.

Over the course of his trip I've made over 4 thousand dollars, which isn't an amazingly large amount, (remember, this is "paper" trading, so I don't ACTUALLY make the money, but if I had 2 grand to put down, as a buffer, I'd of made that 4 grand.) He's never been successful at this, his problem is that he can't keep his eyes and mind on the market, when he is actually in a trade. I admit I am in Mirc sometimes, or afk in IF, or even take breaks to do dailies etc, just because I feel like it. But I never EVER FORGET I'm in a trade, where money is at risk.

Downfall:The Superior Guild! Dwarves the superior race? I think so.

Vulk — Wed, 07/30/2008 - 02:06

After raid tonight I looked back at the experience. We had a night full of wipes on a more or less farm boss, and yet, I still had a blast! I deduced that this is because downfall is such a great, fun guild to be in. I hopped into a vent channel with HBK and we started discussing why downfall is such an awesome guild. I came to this deduction: Downfall is such an awesomer guild because Dwarves are the superior race! Lowe and behold, the leader of Downfall is a dwarf! Thats right you heard it, I'm better than you.(Unless your a dwarf, then we are equal) :P lol. Continue reading. Please.

During our contemplation of guild leadership and how it affects the sink or swim status of a guild and raid, and how our guild has two, TWO, successful raids I kept in mind how our guild leadership fulfills both of our kindred philosophies. In short, our philosophies dictate that raids and guilds only become successful when the leadership of both possesses certain qualities. Leaders must have compassion for others. Leaders can pick favorites but not let that have any influence upon loot distribution, treatment or fair judgment on internal issues. They must be intelligent enough to comprehend the inner-workings of the human mind so that they can screen away members that may be unhealthy to introduce into our community. Lastly they must be kind and selfless, we cant have a leader who is all about "ME ME ME MINE." It just doesn't work. I call these the Super Superior Qualities.

The el oh el Hunter.

Derchlon — Mon, 07/28/2008 - 16:51

Hunters have been mocked as being one of the "easiest" classes to play in WoW by many people. So much so, that they gained a nickname to demonstrate this lack of skill: Huntard. What these people don't realize, is all of the thought processing that a good hunter has to go through in order to maximize DPS.

The naturally built in damage that a hunter gets is Autoshot. Autoshot takes .5 seconds to fire, but has a cooldown based on weapon speed. Hunter's have several shots in their spell book, that are used regularly, that do damage besides the naturally built in Autoshot. These include Aimed Shot, Arcane Shot, Multishot, and Steady Shot. While Aimed Shot does the most damage of the three, it has the longest cast time with 3 seconds as well as restarting the autoshot timer. This means that its really only good for an opening shot with Misdirection, or a fight where you REALLY need the Mortal Strike debuff that it brings to the table. Arcane Shot is an instant shot that deals decent damage, and Multishot is essentially an instant cast as well, that does damage to three targets and is about on par in damage with Arcane shot. Steady Shot is a 1.5 second cast shot that does decent damage, but it is your most mana/damage efficient shot. The biggest problem with Steady Shot, is that while casting that 1.5 second shot, your autoshot cannot fire, and thus, cannot start its cooldown time. You will want to use this shot as often as you reasonably can.
