General Questions

Which days are you available for organized guild events? (Raids, RBGs, etc):

Friday

Saturday

Upload UI:

Which addons do you consider essential and why?:

I think that addons are good but have some how been playing without them for a while. I use minimal addons but will strive to use more to help me reach the peak of ability. I do use DBM and Recount for raiding. This is mostly because when Tanking I do well at keeping threat up and mostly sit in front of the boss and mitigate damage accordingly.

PvE

Raid Experience:

Skipping old world raids and dungeons.
BC: Did some of the 5-mans on my way to reaching 80. The only BC raid that I went back and did was Kara. We skipped a lot of bosses and went mostly for the chess match.
WOTLK: This is where I have spent most of my play time (well duh). I have done all of the 5-man dungeons that this expansion has to offer, and I have been in every raid. Full clear Naxxramas 10, never really did Naxxramas 25. During Naxxramas time I played both a tank and a DPS. Furthest boss downed in Ulduar 10: Crazy Cat lady. This is my greatest regret. Never really did Ulduar 25 either. During Ulduaar times I was still both a tank and a DPS. TOC 10 and 25 full clear. When I ran them with guilds I was always a tank, never went as DPS into a guild run. I have been in numerous pugs as both tank and DPS ICC 10 man have downed all the way through Putricide. This was done with my previous guild as a tank. ICC 25 only through Deathbringer Saurfang, numerous times as a tank.

What timezone are you in?:

I live in Washington State.

Log out in your pve gear so I can comment on your gems/enchants.

As a DK you NEED mods that track things like internal CD's and diseases. I don't see one in your UI. Needtoknow or class timers are the best options. ( I use Needtoknow ) I forgot about sexycooldown, great mod for internal CD's.

Why is Recount so big? Scale it down. Also, get omen. Now that unholy doesn't take Subversion anymore, we have to worry about threat. I rarely pull threat in 25 mans but if i'm not careful I could.

Do you have a Bone shield/blood tap macro so bone shield won't fuck up your rotation if you let it fall off or a fight machanic kocks it off mid-fight? If not make on.

I'll post more when I have more time!

OK I will for sure get those addons to help me out. To answer your question, I have no idea why recount is so bit either. Usually it is smaller, and yes I have Bone shield/blood tap macro.

good thing he doesn't have a problem with thirteen year old kids... Right sargus?

oh and btw, your probably going to one of the youngest members in any of our raids so it is important that YOU be respectful and we will all be dandy.

Ok I will admit that my app was strong agains 12 year old kids. Bad experiences with a few.

I figured that I would be a really young member so don't worry. I hope that my grammar and the length of my app hints that I can be respectful so I don't think that we will have a problem there.

Nice long thoughtful application. However, you do realize that KB runs Monday to Wednesday from 6:30pm-10pm, and that Salmon runs Tuesday to Thursday from 6pm-9pm? Your availability to us would be also very limited when summer is over.

I could make KB later in the year. Easier for me to make would be Salmon if it runs only to 9pm

Hello sir or madam, and

Hello sir or madam, and welcome to the Downfall 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 : Raid Tryouts. Raid : mAlt opens up 3 slots each Sunday for raid performance tests. We parse these events and can see you in action before we bring you into a 25 man progession raid. For more info on mAlt and raid times/sign ups: /raidgroup/malt

Step 4 Be There : Be online during 25 man progression 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 grueling 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.

We have TWO 25 man progression raids:
Raid : Kitten Brigade /raidgroup/kitten-brigade
Raid : Salmon /raidgroup/salmon

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!
