Ginvited Sandar last night.

Ginvited Sandar last night. We're expecting some great things from him and I think he might be seeing a lot action soon.

I think I would be happier

Sandarethkan (not verified) — Mon, 06/16/2008 - 16:13

I think I would be happier waiting to raid with Downfall. I have heard great things about how you guys work together. So... Sandar reporting for duty! Just lemme know when so I can say my Good-byes to Deep Fried and then get the big ginvite.

"Should I just drown?"

Shihli — Mon, 06/16/2008 - 16:04

"Should I just drown?" should give you an indication of his general skill, Rupter.

Reminds me of my first

Disrupter — Mon, 06/16/2008 - 16:16

Reminds me of my first lurker on my mage, I mis judged the rotation speed of the spout (usually being on the middle it's much slower) so I got smacked in the face by it after being told to NOT get hit by it. I managed to some how survive, swim to a pillar, bandage and pot back up just enough to swim back and try again, lol. I was extremely proud and yet, very unhappy with myself at the same time.

Hard to combine those feelings.

I had a character in DV, but

I had a character in DV, but I don't talk about that time. lol

My mage sucked soooooo bad

Disrupter — Mon, 06/16/2008 - 15:19

My mage sucked soooooo bad >.>;;;. That one mage I was replacing must of been REALLLLLY bad for you guys to actually take my scrub ass mage in :P.

Yeah, he was terrible, :P

garreth — Mon, 06/16/2008 - 16:01

Yeah, he was terrible, :P

Ok, check this out. With

garreth — Mon, 06/16/2008 - 10:37

Ok, check this out.

With you and Freakshow both as great healing specs, ready to raid, I'm kind of biting my knuckles here. Almost every single ex-DV member I have ever run with has impressed the hell out of me (Saedo, Lumi, Magieck lately, Melee and Fitty wwaaaaay back).

So here's the deal: Both Freakshow and Sandar are undergeared for where we're at in end game content. I cannot promise either of you guys raid spots. I WANT TO, but I cannot promise you guys raid spots. However, being two of the most sought-after classes in the entire game at the moment your future is extremely bright.

Both of our 25-man raids are pulling in replacement healers regularly. This means archimonde and BT shots where intelligence and pure playing outweigh gear by a bit. I probably couldn't bring either of you to Sunwell quite yet.

So the question becomes: Are you more comfortable waiting to raid in your current guild or waiting to raid with Downfall?

I was once in DV too Garreth

Disrupter — Mon, 06/16/2008 - 11:31

I was once in DV too Garreth :X. I'm not impressive though :P just so consistant it's inhuman ;). Guess that's impressive <.<.

Or atleast going from worst dpser to a moderate dpser.

So how you been Freakshow? Haven't seen you since like, the "Downfall of DV" >.>;;;;;;..... ><.

LOL, that's right, Rupter!

garreth — Mon, 06/16/2008 - 11:39

LOL, that's right, Rupter! It's just that we pulled you in without any app really at the end of DV, you've always been a Downie to me ;)

Yeah, man, DV always had a disproportionate amount of the best players on the server.

I am on pretty much every

Sandarethkan (not verified) — Sat, 06/14/2008 - 22:16

I am on pretty much every day at some point. I work Mon-Fri 6am - 2:30 pm so I am on about 4, when my kids are around, it is about 7pm. Very soon my kids will only be here on weekends so I will be on about everyday at 3:30 - 4pm.

I like healers. A lot. And

garreth — Sat, 06/14/2008 - 20:34

I like healers.

A lot.

And you don't seem like a douche. I'd like to get you involved a lot more with what we do. Your gear needs some pretty big work, but that's a function of seeing more content. What days are you on regularly and for how long?

I havn't even looked at the

Sandarethkan (not verified) — Sat, 06/14/2008 - 16:34

I havn't even looked at the respec plan yet, I just did this spec about a week ago. Still playing around.

Why not take one point out

Atar — Sat, 06/14/2008 - 16:31

Why not take one point out of Silent Resolve and put it in CoH?

I don't think your up to

Cisper — Sat, 06/14/2008 - 16:22

I don't think your up to scratch in terms of really knowing whats best for your class. Your gear seems as though just stacked healing, which is fine for Gruuls... but we don't really do Gruuls.

Your gear level overall is not on par for what we require in both raids (I'm unaware on LF1M's complete status, but to my knowledge require know desperation for healers as is Hamfist). Your gear is Very Good for a level entering TK & SSC, but we far beyond that. I don't think Downfall would be a good fit for you.

gawdamnit! My bad. Ok,

Sandarethkan (not verified) — Sat, 06/14/2008 - 16:10

gawdamnit! My bad. Ok, logged in healing gear. I am 8 badges away from the Hammer of Naruu Blessings, should be getting that tonight. That will add about another 100 to my healing.

God knows what gear set up

Cisper — Sat, 06/14/2008 - 15:52

God knows what gear set up you logged out in, but next wear your healing gear.

As from what I can tell, in the set you logged out in, your gems are pretty mind-numbing, but can't really get a full understanding til your wear your FULL PvE Healing Set.

Sandar is easily one of the best priests I've played with, even though it's been wuite some time. Too long, to be exact. See ya soon Sandar!

someone stole my UI
