Put in my place
Silent_Lyle — Tue, 02/23/2010 - 23:09Unfortunately, I do not have the answer to that. But the point I was trying to convey above is that I put some thought and research into my character's name.
Wow. I just closed my eyes
cromi — Wed, 02/24/2010 - 17:09Wow. I just closed my eyes and said Cromianiac.
Then I had to live with the fact that when I jumped into vent on a new raid. People would tell me that I have too many I's.
Haste?
talisdar — Mon, 02/22/2010 - 20:21Why are you gemming for haste? Maybe a new fad.
Stat Weighting "Combined
Silent_Lyle — Mon, 02/22/2010 - 20:32Stat Weighting
"Combined stats... Using a 60/40 split for throughput vs. longevity."
( http://elitistjerks.com/f77/t54629-discipline_healing_compendium_v3_1_a/... )
... However I'll be in a slow process of replacing haste with more spell power.
A little dated.... 150 is the haste softcap.

I understand that in some extreme gameplay (mass shielding) stacking haste is useless. But honestly the tree as not been designed in order to do only shield spam.
Regarding shield spamming: I'd like to add that we need to reevaluate this anyway. Shield spamming still has its uses, but it really no longer scales well enough with our gear to be a primary throughput spell. Assuming everyone is at the haste soft cap now, it scales with just 1 of our 3 throughput stats. Ok, the small glyph part profits from crit, but that's not what I would call "scaling".
And that's a good thing, too. Weaving effective spell sequences from shields and other spells to match the damage income is far more interesting than mind numbing shield spamming.
Also looking at the chart Int would be better choice. Also what is your main roll in raids?
...This is true
Silent_Lyle — Tue, 02/23/2010 - 01:23One could argue the weight between the importance/value of spell power vs intellect. Both having their seperate advantages.
Intellect has multiple contributions including but not limited to: enlarging one's mana pool, affects mana regeneration from replenishment, shadowfiend and hymn of hope, and increases one's critical strike rate. I don't believe a disc priest can have too much intellect (Oh, NO! I've got too much mana! What do, I do?... someone mana drain me.) But if one feel's comfortable with their mana pool (which I currently* do) then spell power would be the next stat to increase.
Spell power itself is a straight forward (thoughput) stat. The more spellpower, the bigger your heals. Not to mention it also affects your Power Word: Shield absorption and hence the glyph heal.
So short answer is that I agree, that I should be gemming outside of haste - finding a "balance" of SP and Int. The answer to your question: my main roll in raids? Is raid heals. (Bubbles everywhere... and a renew for safety). Very rare, am I placed as a tank healer but if so: off-tanks. But I tend to assist with the main tank anyways.
currently* = subject to change
Thanks
talisdar — Tue, 02/23/2010 - 07:47Thanks for being open and honest about the choices, I am an unconventional Disc Priest. I basically POM, Bubble to the 25th power. I also play whack a heal with grid. We will talk in game hope to see you in malt on Sunday!

Hello sir or madam, and
Aidin — Sat, 02/20/2010 - 11:54Hello 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!
