Arganios — Tue, 02/09/2010 - 17:53

Character Info
Name: 
Arganios
Server: 
Gorgonnash
Race: 
Draenai
Class: 
Shaman
Role: 
Healing
General Questions
Which days are you available for organized guild events? (Raids, RBGs, etc): 
Tuesday
Thursday
Friday
Sunday
UI
Upload UI: 
Which addons do you consider essential and why?: 
I use Omen, Healbot, Recount, and Deadly Boss Mods most often while raiding. Omen makes sure I am not pulling aggro. Healbot allows me to quickly heal while in a large group of players. Deadly Boss Mods has to be the best mod I have ever used and has saved my ass more times than I can count. Recount lets me know how I and those I group with are doing. I also have a little experience with grid but prefer healbot to it.
PvE
Raid Experience: 
I have cleared OS and Naxx 10 and 25 man. I have also done Totc 25 man and have been up to Auriya in Ulduar. My main role throughout my raiding experience has mainly been healing with occasional kiting. One of the reasons I left my last server and guild is because they were barely scratching the surface of Ulduar and I had friends in real life urging me to switch to Gorgonnash.
Personal
What timezone are you in?: 
I live on the border of Kansas and Missouri.
Tell us a little about yourself.: 
I am currently in school attempting to earn my Bachelor's Degree in Computer Sciences.
Open/Closed: 
Closed

Sorry

Arganios — Sun, 02/14/2010 - 21:28

Due to some developments in real life I can no longer apply in good conscience.  I am very sorry but I recently was rehired by my former employer and will not be able to raid at any of the times I recently stated I would be able to.

Hello sir or madam, and

Hello sir or madam, and welcome to the Dowfall recruitment process. If you fancy a quick invite, have thin skin, or like purps over people then don't waste your time reading what follows, just press on now.  If you are a skilled player, or even a player in need of a little molding, and you have time to dedicate to dead bosses, and to a community of people that do more together then play a video game, then here's a few things for you.

Recruitment Process

Step 1 Application :
Well you've already completed this step by taking the time to complete our lengthy application.  Some think it's silly, we have documented proof that it easily weeds out the douchebags before wasting too much of our time.

Step 2 Who are you? : Type /join dfrecruit in game.  This will put you in our global chat channel for recruits.  You'll find lots of Downfall members in that channel often shouting for people for random heroics.  This will get your name out there, let people get to know you.  The more people you get to know, the more people will begin to comment on your application, and thus keep it "alive"

Until you start to get comments from those who excel in your class, or those who have nice/not so nice things to say about you as they get to know you, it's up to YOU to keep your application active, it's not just a matter of posting and never coming back, we are a website oriented guild, get used to using it.

Step 3 Be There : Be online during raid times, its even better if you're on from start to finish, since people will DC mid raid.  If you're apping to raid, it's a long and gruelling process.  We DO need consistant skilled players for both 25 man raids, and you're not the only person trying to get that spot.  What we like to see is our apps posting on the raid events that they are available to fill in on a given night.  Then if you've posted that you're going to be on that night, make sure to shout our a reminder in dfrecruit just as raid is about to start just to let us know you're on. It may be weeks, it may be months before you see action, but you may end up with a spot the first time you join the recruit channel.

All questions regarding raid invite status for Kitten Brigade should be directed Zariyah in game, or alt Sainttaryn.

All questions regarding raid invite status for Salmon should be directed Ataraxia.

Please do not bother the other raid leaders, they have lots to do already.


Well that's what you can expect for the next few weeks/months.  We've had applicants that have waited over 3 months for an invite, we've invited people within a few days, every situation is different. So get you're name out there, get some comments, and good luck to you!

 

Formalities out of the way...on a more personal note.  I picked this cat up to fill a mALT run that was in dire need of healers. He did his job, and he did it well. Put some mods on that game of yours and you'll be friggin AMAZING.  Good luck to ya Arganios!! 

p.s. a little concerned about the lack of Wed in your raid list... 25 mans run mon-wed and tues-thurs.

Would you be able to handle

Agoney — Fri, 02/12/2010 - 12:16

Would you be able to handle raids without the use of DBM or big wigs etc? I guess the question should be more... how much do you rely on boss mods to give you info (cds, void zones etc) I don't think there is a right or wrong answer, im just curious to see how you would approach it.

Ok here we go!

First off welcome to recruitment, this can be a grueling task indeed. Be prepared to have your spec/gemming/ and UI scrutinized. Be sure to be in the dfrecruit channel in wow when time for raids. but all that being said this can be a great experience if you treat it as such.

Now all that being said here's what I have for ya. UI is a bit basic but that's understandable at times. I wont go on about Grid I will allow others to do so. Make sure to get Ora2 for raids with us, it's how we lead and coordinate. Like main tank frames and cool downs and whatnot. The only other thing is, did you really check out our loot system? you said...

"Read everything here: /loot Does that seem fair?: 

It would appear that the system is fair so long as there is not too much favoritism, and effort is recognized."
Since our loot system is similar to a dkp system and only rewards time spent in raid and then wipes said point when item is won.... Then there is no chance for Favoritism. As per the effort being recognized that would be how you earn your points wouldn't it?
Anyhow since you are re-gearing and everything if you need an enchant hit me up for one, I have everything you should need and then some lol. Now I'm going to let the Shammies of the guild speak up and Aidin to put up her normal Recruitment thingy
