Tonight was a shining example as to why you should be online during 25
man progression nights...we had spots, and one could have been yours.

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 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 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.

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!

1st things 1st. I'm not a guild member in whom you should take seriously. These are my opinions below, perceive them how you want 2.

1) WG isn't one sided, but our BG group isn't the greatest for alliance side. We win some, lose more.

2) 12/0/59
It's the strongest single target Unholy build, and if you think you have
a better one prove it. And the aoe isn't bad either.1st, a bit cocky sounding. Careful in this guild, they'll come after you  :P. 2nd, 1 most notable DK (Deadhli) Raids Unholy with a very similar spec. Now I'm not sure what kind of numbers you hit, however the 2% crit in Blood you pass up for Morbidity might be ill placed as 2% crit to all abilities vs. 15% dmg to a single ability almost seems like the better deal.

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

Yes, although I've never really liked the system. < This system is actually one of the smoothest run loot systems I've ever seen. I know of 3 main Systems. Suicide Kings, DKP, and Loot Council. DKP rewards people who hoard points for 1 upgrade... Yay them, now the guy who coulda finished his set and dbl his dps is SoL again. Loot Council rewards officers and regulars, but leaves little to no oppurtunity for the new guy unless it's an every week drop. Suicide Kings forces people to gear up. Oh you want one thing from the end of the instance yet you could be getting 2-5 upgrades before that? Fine, enjoy your 1 peice while I'm 4/5. Spending points rewards you in this system and makes loot a lot easier.>

Why should we recruit you?: 

I know what I know well, and the stuff I don't know I
learn quickly. I'm one of those people that thinks coming prepared to
raid is more that a few flasks and a hand full of potions. I got an
entire bag of goodies that I bring along, with everything from gems and
enchanting mats to a bunch of other crap.

Good comment. I used to slack off a lot in Hyjal and TK. But once we hit BT, it changed for me. People not bringing anything that can make them down a boss easier, embarassing for a raiding guild. We don't have that here. You are 1 step ahead. Good.

5)
Tell us about yourself.: 

I'm 19 and back in highschool after dropping out to
go to work before the economy tanked, and I have waaay too much time on
my hands to know what to do with.
Keep in mind, School will always be more important.

MY recommendations. Stay active. No one ever gets insta invites, and Server xfer's are rough because we have no idea whether, in lack of better words, you sk or not...Make a good impression and everything will be a lot easier on ya! Good Luck
