General Questions

Monday

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

Friday

Saturday

Sunday

Upload UI:

Which addons do you consider essential and why?:

I use several add-ons. Grid, bartender, pitbull and many more. most of them are to minimize clutter and to increase efficiency by putting important tools close to one another

PvE

Raid Experience:

I have experience in all the 5 man instances, classic to Wotlk. Since I first started playing in the middle of Burning crusade, I never really was able to do many of the end game raids. I did actively raid Karazhan and Magtheridon. In Wotlk I started raiding very shortly after becoming 80. I remember tanking the spider wing with Garreth as one of my healers. After taking a break from the game, I have returned and now have some experience with the first 6 bosses of ICC. That experience is very limited but still is some none the less.

Personal

What timezone are you in?:

I am located in Southern California, Los Angeles.

Tell us a little about yourself.:

I am a person that likes to have fun and to enjoy it with other people. I am a nice person but can be stressed sometimes because of work. I spend my days at The Home Depot paint department, being that is where i am currently employed and have been there for four years now. I am always willing to help a person in need. I think through out this application I have explained a lot about my personality.

Virgill — Tue, 10/12/2010 - 22:24

Yea that was a wise move. I have not been able to play at all for the last month and a half due to a family emergency. Thanks guys. I'll see you around in-game sooner or later

So I ran an ICC10 last night.

Virgill — Sat, 08/21/2010 - 11:33

So I ran an ICC10 last night. Wasn't the best group and didn't get very far but I did end up getting some Dreamwalker experience. I got the hang of solo tanking the adds. We did not win the battle due to some low dps but I was excited to get the experience.

Are you re-applying to raid,

Onrique — Sun, 08/08/2010 - 12:00

Are you re-applying to raid, or just to chill with us again?

Things are a little different

Virgill — Sun, 08/08/2010 - 21:40

Things are a little different than the last time. Soon some luck will be on my side and will allow me to minimize my work load, leaving me more free time. The last time I joined I had to work as much as possible due to financial difficulties.

I do plan to raid this time. I will only be working 3 days a week come September. Also the plan will be to only work 8-5 shifts which should leave me enough time to get home and ready before raids. If they do not allow me to do my 8-5 shifts then I can just take the raid nights off.

My only concern is my lack of experience on the second half off the ICC bosses. Because of this, I am undesirable in most pugs, making it hard to gain that experience.

Raiding is going to be

Onrique — Tue, 08/17/2010 - 17:45

Raiding is going to be difficult to do, as we are loaded with very good feral druids right now. Like i tell every app, at 6:31 i check to see which apps are in DFrecruit, and i invite based on raid composition.

I understand. I have no

Virgill — Wed, 08/18/2010 - 12:38

I understand. I have no problem waiting. I try to keep my ICC lock open just in case.

I know i haven't been on much lately because I am in the middle of getting ready to move soon. I should be seen on more during raid times in a little over a week.

I would love to sit in one day on vent when you guys run. It may help me understand the fights a bit more, even though I won't be able to see the fights.

I am still here By the way :)

Virgill — Sun, 08/01/2010 - 22:29

Hey you missed a very fun

Hey you missed a very fun Orgimmar raid man, stop missing the fun stuff

cromi — Mon, 08/02/2010 - 08:43

I wish I had been to the raid.

"I need your help with taking laundry clothes,"

Texted to me by the girl who works at Pac Sun. Was possibly misinterpreted.

And I spent the next 3 hours driving laundry back and forth from her washer to my aunts dryer.

There was no nice surprise...

I was wondering what happened

Kerilyn — Wed, 07/28/2010 - 00:49

I was wondering what happened to this guy. Cool to see he's re apping. I remember kind of coaching you in resto shaman-ness before you left. LOL.

Haha yep yep. I would have to

Virgill — Wed, 07/28/2010 - 02:04

Haha yep yep. I would have to say you did a good job at that. Resto shaman master now :P

He volunteered to Tank for us

Crawfeesh — Sun, 07/25/2010 - 22:08

He volunteered to Tank for us in a random heroic. We were on Occ and I tried my hardest to pull aggro off of him (blew all cd's and was doing 12k dps) and well....I failed. He kept aggro the entire fight. Bravo.

I've been chatting with this guy for a while now in game and I must say, he is very VERY passionate about making a return.

I really hope you guys allow him back into guild.

ran a couple heroics with him

Grasen — Mon, 07/26/2010 - 06:10

ran a couple heroics with him and feldield myself a couple days ago, held agro very very well. i'm used to tanking half the mobs myself unless pudo is in group. he never let a mob reach me.

Thanks alot, both of you. I

Virgill — Mon, 07/26/2010 - 10:04

Thanks alot, both of you. I appreciate the recognition and the time you took to post on my app. I guess watching which mobs the strong dps is attacking has its benefits.

Hey Virgil good to see you

Knoppix (not verified) — Thu, 07/22/2010 - 11:26

Hey Virgil good to see you again :). I approve of the application even though I retired and do not have much of a say I suppose.

Knoppix!! Thank you, thank

Virgill — Thu, 07/22/2010 - 12:47

Knoppix!! Thank you, thank you. Ah those good ol' naxx days. I miss that.

Maybe a druid has something

Virgill — Thu, 07/22/2010 - 10:35

Maybe a druid has something to say? Bad enchants, gems? Give me something!

Thanks Grasen and Malt.

Virgill — Mon, 07/19/2010 - 14:28

Thanks Grasen and Malt.

Grasen, I am glad you posted back because i was beginning to wonder if my answer was undesirable. You settled my nerves a bit.

Malt it was a fun run, especially with dps gettin stuck behind the ice wall XD

lol yep

Maltoheals — Mon, 07/19/2010 - 15:03

lol yep what were they thinking

But just meant we had to get it done without them

Let's get some activity here.

Virgill — Sun, 07/18/2010 - 16:29

Let's get some activity here. Don't want my app to fade away in the endless abyss of time.

I'm bumping this post to give

Derchlon — Sun, 07/18/2010 - 17:11

I'm bumping this post to give the illusion that I have a comment to add, tricking others into coming in here to leave a legitimate comment naturally bringing this app back to the top of the tracker.

Thnanks for the bump. So far

Virgill — Mon, 07/19/2010 - 11:14

Thnanks for the bump. So far still nothing though : \. Beggining to wonder if I said something wrong.

to my knowledge you havent

Grasen — Mon, 07/19/2010 - 12:55

to my knowledge you havent said anything wrong, I dont imput on apps as much as i used to, But i found the answer to my question satasfactory, from here i leave it up to those who are more active to go from there.

Healed a Random for him

Maltoheals — Mon, 07/19/2010 - 13:00

Healed a random for him (HOR) and he did fine.... The dps seemed solid in the group and I did not see any threat issues.

Seemed to Multi-mob tank fine.

Does anyone else have any

Virgill — Thu, 07/15/2010 - 19:18

Does anyone else have any comments or questions for me?

You say that you study

Businessman — Mon, 08/16/2010 - 03:41

You say that you study martial arts. Well I have several questions. What is your primary base discipline? How good is your ground game? Do you have several moves to escape or reverse from the bottom if you get taken down to the ground? How good is your striking? Do you using a looping punch or are your punch more of a straight punch? How often would you use your kicks in a basic fight strategy?

What is your primary focus of stopping a fight (ie. Are you more of a submission guy or a KO guy.)? How often do you train and what base do you focus more on?

We here at Downfall require that our applicants know basic martial arts to survive 3x 5 minute rounds in their own respective weight division. Do you have what it takes?

Virgill — Wed, 07/14/2010 - 15:45

I am and have always been in the recruit channel. As for the ulduar raid, I need to double check my work schedule. Also since I stopped right after ulduar came out, my knowledge is extemely limited. I can go ahead and read up on the fights but I always find it easier to learn by just doing it.
