Waffles vs Pancakes
Rescue Toaster — Fri, 04/30/2010 - 22:47In the battle of waffles vs. pancakes 9 out of 10 Downfall raiders agree that waffles are superior to pancakes. The argument is that both foods are simply vessels for syrup delivery. Given that notion waffles are a much better vehicle for such service. Agree or disagree?
This is Gorg ANYTHING is
Keisjaa — Sun, 05/02/2010 - 10:44This is Gorg ANYTHING is better than Pancakes

ICC 10 on Saturday :: Git-R-Done
Keonaa — Fri, 04/30/2010 - 15:02I posted it on the calendar but I'll post it here as well.
I will be around raid time on Saturday if you guys need the extra DPS.
I'm pretty excited to try a raid with you guys!
Can you please log out in
Scaron — Fri, 04/30/2010 - 10:42Can you please log out in your PVE gear when you get a chance?
Whoops!
Keonaa — Fri, 04/30/2010 - 10:48Yes lol sorry. I do a lot of PvP as well but I'll switch before logging out next time. >.<
If you see me ingame today I can meet you somewhere so you can take a look. :)
k, thanks. Questions: 1. What
Scaron — Fri, 04/30/2010 - 11:10k, thanks.
Questions:
1. What is your reasoning for skipping out on nightfall? You're sacrificing free shadowbolts for dark pact? Also, do you have threat problems (or more accurately, would you have threat problems in a raid with ICC25 geared tanks)? If you can get by without it, I'd suggest moving one point in Improved Drain Soul to Nightfall and moving one point from Dark Pact to Nightfall. (You're getting more than enough health back from siphon life that life tapping should be no problem.) Othewise, spec / glyphs are good.
2. Tell me about your rotation / priority list for affliction.
3. Have any parses?
I'll comment on gear after wowarmory updates post your logout.
Few more things here now that
Scaron — Fri, 04/30/2010 - 12:35Few more things here now that I can see your gear.
1. You're uber-over the hit cap for one of our 25 man raids. And, even if you're only raiding 10 mans w/ no Space Cows / spriests / boomkins, you're still over the hit cap. You can deal with this in a number of ways...dropping points in suppression, equipping different gear, etc. Ideally, you would have 343 (ish) hit (with zero points in suppression) for a 25 man raid with us...anything beyond that is wasted itemization. Further, even in a 10 man, as long as you have a draeni in group, you could still stand to drop a point out of suppression and place it, well, anywhere else. Pick dark pact back up or Improved Drain Soul, whatever..sort of a discretionary point.
2. I'm not trying to be mean, I'm hoping to be helpful here, but your gems are kind of a mess. Part of that may not be your fault. At EJ, you get weird stat weights that are a good general guideline, but usually assume BiS gear...(which most of us are nowhere near). Using the latest 3.3.3 spreadsheet, I'm showing that your toon gets 2.19 dps per point of spellpower vs. 1.99 dps per point of haste.
Here are my suggestions:
Head: Pop a spellpower /spirit gem in for the haste / spirit gem
Neck: Fine as is.
Shoulder: Fine as is.
Cloak: Can't tell as your pvp cloak is on.
Chest: Oddly enough, you'll want the socket bonus here. Dump your straight sp gems for a sp/spirit (in blue) and a sp/Haste in yellow. That will net you an extra 9sp.
Bracers: Fine as is.
Your hands...I usually just ignore socket bonuses when they're only +5 spellpower and require a blue gem. Usually, you'll get more just socketing straight sp in those slots. (and the spreadsheet shows that I'm right on this.)
Belt: Switch the 20 haste for 23 sp, and the haste/spirit for spellpower / spirit.
Your pants: pop out the hit / spirit gem for sp / spirit
Boots:IMO, you'll get more out of tuskarr's vitality than from Icewalker...and you certainly don't need the hit there. (In this one, for reasons of scaling keep your +haste gem, but switch out your +haste / spirit for sp/spirit.
Ring (of rapid ascent): gem straight spellpower
ring (endless Destruction): fine as is.
End result: 19 dps increase. I don't know if that's worth it to you (bear in mind that that also includes dropping icewalker for tuskarr's). IF it were me (and it's not) it'd probably drive me crazy so i'd switch. But 19 dps is not all that signifcant when we're talking about 12k ish. If you kept icewalker for the crit, you'd actually gain about 35 dps just from gems (so that's probably closest to the actual increase.)
3. You're not really using the PvP cloak for pve are you? When iLvl 264 cloaks are dispensed freely for EmblOFrost? Hopefully not, and hopefully your pve cloak is enchanted with Lightweave Embroidery.
All in all, things look pretty good. Hopefully we'll see you in action soon!
That's it for now.
Gear
Keonaa — Fri, 04/30/2010 - 13:04This is going to bother me... Thanks a lot! <.<
lol
No worries, I take suggestions / criticism well. I'll even argue it with you and make you prove it if I still think I'm right! =P
The gear setup I had been using is unfortunately not the most current because I've been out of raiding a few weeks, so some things that should be gemmed for spirit and spell power are currently haste, as previously haste was a bigger deal than it is now.
"Using the latest 3.3.3 spreadsheet, I'm showing that your toon gets 2.19
dps per point of spellpower vs. 1.99 dps per point of haste."
THAT is the big change I missed lol.
With that being said I'd like you opinion on my current perdicament.
1. Are the Leggings of Woven Death going to be worth the switch of the chestpiece?
2. If so, you think it'd be worth it to re-gem the legs and chest although I will be changing them soon?
I've been trying to lose hit for a while now. The easiest solution I see is a boot change... I will also lose some when and if I switch to my sanctified chest with the Leggings of Woven Death.
Yes, I do have a cloak, lol, sorry.
It is, however; the badge cloak because I STILL haven't gotten anything better. :(

Scaron — Fri, 04/30/2010 - 14:27"With that being said I'd like you opinion on my current perdicament.
1. Are the Leggings of Woven Death going to be worth the switch of the chestpiece?
2. If so, you think it'd be worth it to re-gem the legs and chest although I will be changing them soon?
1. Probably yes. I love me some leggings of woven death.
2. No, probably not. If you're going to be sinking cash into new duds like that that you'll have to regem anyway, I'd probably pass if it were me. I know there are folks who'd disagree with me, but honestly...I wouldn't regem.
You'll probably lose enough hit to be managable w/ just dropping out the pants...so I'd be inclined to just do that.
Re cloak...nothing wrong with the badge cloak.
Ballpark, what is your dps on Festergut? (In 25 man, fully raid buffed with 10% zonewide)
DPS
Keonaa — Fri, 04/30/2010 - 15:00DPS is somewhere around 9.5k
Like I said it's been a couple weeks since I've raided, unfortunately. :(
I've switched a lot of my gems towards Spirit and Spell Power rather than the Haste they had, so I'm pretty anxious to try this out in a raid situation.
Questions
Keonaa — Fri, 04/30/2010 - 12:25I'm playing on my alt atm and armory did update, so my PvE gear is there.
A change that I am looking to make in my PvE gear though is to get the Leggings of Woven Death instead of the Sanctified ones and a Sanctified chest instead of my current one. I have the emblems and everything lol I just need to wait for a token.
HONESTLY the skip out on Nightfall was mainly a healer issue in the raid I was last in. They were a little less geared than the rest of us so it was really to help them out so I didn't run out of mana and put more strain on them, but I can fix it now! In raids I don't run out of mana because I tap periodically not only for the spell power buff but to not put strain on the healers as well. I do not usually use Dark Pact in a typical raid situation because my Felhunter's Shadow Bite uses mana as well so he needs it!
As for aggro, I don't know that I've EVER pulled aggro off a tank in a 25-man, and chances are your tanks are more geared than the ones I was running with. Key to that is to Soulshatter appropriately and know when to. A Warlock should NEVER pull aggro...
As for rotation I open with Shadow Bolt to get Shadow Mastery and Shadow Embrace running so that my DoT damage is maximized. After that...
-Corruption (since it should only need to be applied once)
-Haunt
-Unstable Affliction (both of which should not expire at any time)
-Curse of Agony (Curse of Elements does not stack with the Death Knight buff, and a lot of Warlocks still use Curse of Doom. I tend to switch depending on the fight.)(Curse of Agony should be off the target for no more than a fraction of a second and not refreshed before it does come off because the last tick of damage is always the most powerful. This is the only true DoT that should expire on the target.)
-Shadow Bolt (Fillers when everything is up. Substitute for Drain Soul when the target is low enough.)
3. Nope, sorry. :(
Re: Dot expiration. Minor
Scaron — Fri, 04/30/2010 - 12:39Re: Dot expiration. Minor point: Unstable Affliction should expire EVERY time...and should be refreshed almost immediately after, right?
Yes
Keonaa — Fri, 04/30/2010 - 13:06Haunt and Corruption should never be down though.
Hello sir or madam, and
Aidin — Thu, 04/29/2010 - 07:26Hello 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 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 Mon - Wed 6:30 - 10:00
Raid : Salmon /raidgroup/salmon Tue - Thu 6:00 - 9:00
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!
