UI
Upload UI: 
Which addons do you consider essential and why?: 
I love them! I don't go all crazy with an insane custom UI, I just use what feels comfortable and what helps me get the job done. For raids I use BigWigs for boss encounters, oRA2 (required mod from my current guild) I have been using oRA2 for well over 4 years and love it. Squawk and Awe for my dot timers. I use Omen Threat Meter and I use Xperl for my raid frames and to make things a little prettier. I have used Grid in the past, but I am just more comfortable with the Xperl raid frames. If I was going to be a main spec healer I would learn to love Grid but for right now it just isn't for me.
PvE
Raid Experience: 

--Vanilla WoW--
MC- Cleared
ZG- Cleared
BWL- Cleared
AQ20- Cleared
AQ40- 2/9 (Cleared at level 70)
Naxx 40 - 2/15 (Cleared it before it was removed at level70)

All Vanilla WoW content I completed was done as a Night Elf Hunter.

--Burning Crusade--
Kara - Cleared Role: Feral DPS / Tank
Gruul's Lair - Cleared Role: Tank / Feral DPS
SSC - Cleared Role: Tank (trash and multi tank fights) Feral DPS
TK- Cleared Role: Tank/ Raid Lead
Magtheridon- Cleared Role: Tank on beginning adds, then DPS/ Cube Clicker
Mount Hyjal- Cleared Role: Tank/Raid Lead/Feral DPS
Black Temple- Cleared Role: Tank / Feral DPS. Tanked trash and multi-tank fights. Was a Fire Tank on Illidan.
Sunwell Plateau: 2/8 Role: Tank/Raid Lead

For all of Burning Crusade I played my druid as feral. I was a Main Tank in my guild used for fights where a feral tanks high hit point pool and high dodge was an advantage.

-- Wrath of the Lich King--
Naxx 10/25 - Cleared Role: Tank/Caster DPS
Obsidian Sanctum 10/25 - Cleared (3 Drakes for both) Role: Tank. Tanked Sarth for first 3 drake kill because of my ability to communicate with healers and my high hit point pool.
Ulduar 10/25- Cleared Role: Caster DPS/Off-Tank In early goes runs of Ulduar I was utilized as an off-tank for trash, and caster DPS for bosses.
Ulduar 10/25 (Hard Modes) 10 man Cleared! Role: Caster DPS/Heals
25 man - 6/10 Role: Caster DPS
ToC 10/25 - Cleared Role: Caster DPS/Healer
ToGC 10 - Cleared Role: Healer/Caster DPS (Caster dps only on Anub 10)
ToGC 25- 4/5 Role: Caster DPS
ICC 10 - 7/12 Role: Healer / Caster DPS. Has healed up to Proff Putricide on 10 man.
ICC 25 - 9/12 Role: Caster DPS

For the start of Wrath of the Lich King I continued to tank, but when our guild was having a problem recruiting reliable Balance druids I was asked my the leaders if I would mind giving Balance a try. I gave it a shot and fell in love. In the course of collecting my Balance gear I also started collecting a Restoration set as well. Eventually I gave healing a try and it was a really great experience. The thrill and excitement of finishing an encounter with all your targets alive and well was a great feeling. Healing is not my strongest spec, but I have been working to improve upon it.

Personal
What timezone are you in?: 
Vancouver British Columbia Canada!!! *waves red mittens in the air*
Tell us a little about yourself.: 
I love video games! I love Star Wars! I love X-Men (comics and cartoons in various forms)!! I live in British Columbia Canada with my boyfriend Katzeus! We actually met playing WoW cause we are that cool! I am a very easy going relaxed person with a wicked sense of humor.

Just did the weekly.  8 manned 1 tank and 1 healed.  Was easy to find them since they were in DFrecruit :). 
Enjoyed having them both in raid, and they knew what they were doing.

Rock on!

Just did a random with Meowia

Threerick — Mon, 03/15/2010 - 01:00

Just did a random with Meowia and Katzeus.  Both seem to be very nice
people.  Meowia had went off spec and tanked the instance so I was not able to see how she did in her main spec.  But was good tank, held agro good and pulled fast, i like :).  All in all was just heroic, now that they transfered over maybe get them in some action! :D. They also joined DFrecruit once they transfered over, it was the only way i knew they had transfered over.

 

Welcome to Gorgonnash.

Disrupter — Tue, 03/09/2010 - 16:38

Resident Boomchicken here!


I was looking over your application, primarily your views and your gearing / speccing / glyphing.


First off going over your views, moonkins can't effectively dps without the insect swarm glyph, and we lose a lot of dps by actually needing to maintain it the entire time. You want high dot uptime, of course, but without the glyph maintaining it becomes a siginificant dps loss.


Checking out your spec and glyphs. Here at Downfall we want you to do the maximum you can, and in some scenarios, we're willing to let you drop some maximum personal dps or hps for some significant raid utility. (Ex: Divine Sac for paladins, Typhoon for Druids, etc.) However you picked up Typhoon, without picking up Treants. Treants is a strong dps ability, for 1 talent point, it's alot of damage. You also picked up mana talents that, as a moonkin of your gear, you shouldn't even be close to needing. (Not to mention, you're getting the wrong ones.)


http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#0xRruiIscdIVhouZbxczb This is the optimal single target raid spec. I opted out of picking certain talents a while ago, for specific raid utility and function, but as a raw dps fill in, we want you to do the most damage. You could gain 5-10 dps if you moved the moonglow talent for genesis, but honestly, for the off chance you needed the cheaper abilities that's worth more.


Talents and Glyphs aside, let's move on to your gear! 2 piece t10 and 2 piece t9, not too bad. I'm assuming you got the idol before your other tier pieces because you felt the need to replace them both at once, or you idol was weaker perhaps. Your gears not too bad, you could use a new trinket and a new ring.


There are some ways to up your dps though in that department via regemming and reenchanting. Even if it's only 5 spell power, any yellow socket it's worth getting 12 sp 10 crit. I'm assuming that you know this, and opted to do the pure sp for your resto set? Regem your Belt / Hands / Neck / Off-Hand with 10 crit 12 sp and you'll gain a little bit of dps. Reenchanting your chest with 10 stat's will also increase your dps, not to mention over a period of time, yield more mana than the straight 250 mana enchant.


No huge or glaring issues, would love to see what type of single target dps you could perfom on the heroic training dummy. If you have any method of recording your damage such as Skada or Recount, you can go to Ironforge and hug the wall so you can single target Dps the ?? training dummy without splashing any damage onto the smaller ones. (The cleave from Starfall tends to skew the meter if you don't do it this way.) Do 4 3 minute sessions with 2 starfalls and 1 treants and see what your average #'s come out to. (I know it can be extremely random, not getting an Eclipse proc for over a minute is detremental to your dps, but it happens in raid and out of raid, so it has to be counted in!)


Other than her chest enchant, a couple mana regen talent choices, and the lack of treants, there was no real glaring issues that needed to be fixed. Fixes those and posts some 5-6k single target dps meters and she should be a viable option :O.

Thank you =)

Meowia — Tue, 03/09/2010 - 22:45

I made the changes you suggested. Potent Ametrines in yellow sockets, spec modified and chest re-enchanted.

I know I need a new trinket. I was messing around with Silver of Pure Ice, but I think I am going to go back to Eye of the Brood Mother until I can get something better.

Here are a few screenshots from hanging out on a dummy tonight. I changed my spec and re-gemmed for it.

I also did a round before I changed specs and gems and I did notice that after taking  your advice my dps did increase, thank you very much for those pointers.

Hello sir or madam, and

Aidin — Sat, 03/06/2010 - 21:51

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!

Meowia — Sat, 03/06/2010 - 22:18

I could kinda tell it was a script. lol

I made an alt on the server named Meowia and already joined the channel. No one was talking so I didn't want to just pipe in and be like... "Hai guise I am the new applicant... how is everyone today?"  lol  Maybe next time I pop on I will.

Aidin — Sat, 03/06/2010 - 23:52

He's right...even the female population (which is quite large in DF) will pop into a bewbs convo! lol  I was raiding tonight so I missed ya, or I woulda said hai!

garreth — Sat, 03/06/2010 - 21:45

I like both your and your boyfriend's apps. Let's get some feedback from Rupta on your boomchicken stats and go from there. I need to check what both our 25-man raids require when it comes to dps.

Meowia's picture

Thank you! I am eagerly

Meowia — Sat, 03/06/2010 - 22:13

Thank you!

I am eagerly waiting feedback from your druids.  Anything I can do to improve I am 110% willing to do. I was the only Balance druid in my guild for the most part and never really had anyone else to compare myself to. I befriended a druid on the horde side of my server and talked shop with them quite a bit, but it is hard to know where you stand when you do not have anyone else to directly compare yourself to.
