Garreth, if you're doing Hyjal tonite PLEASE give me a call before you hit Anetheron - I need'a some new boots and would dig being allowed in for a shot at 'em!
I'm excited to bring you in to Downfall tonight. We had a surge of healers, but there's still more than enough end game for experienced healers.
I'll be online at around 6:30pm. The Hamfist raid starts at 7ish. If we have the mages/druids we'll be doing Kalecgos. If not, it looks like a Hyjal run.
Note I only will show like 1840 ish + heal with poor mana pool and crit because I did a Za Bear run and am specd prot.
I will note the strikes against my healing set and plan of attack to get it in better shape :)
I have been more focused on my Prot set over the past couple of months, but thats not to say I also was not working on holy gear as well.
I have been raiding both specs in Hyjal and Bt.
I did however spend several Hundred badges on Prot gear as the guild needed me up to speed for Hyjal
I was respecing about 8 times a week for my previous guild.
Like I say I did grab items that became available but was passed over on a couple upgrades that were looted to only healing spec Pallys.
It sometimes is hard to balance two specs without looking like a complete jerk or loot-whore.
With that said I am very content with my Prot gear as it is now and have started to work on upgrading my healadin gear.
First I recently picked up the BT shoulders and am farming the Fel Armements to get the exalted chant.
Second I will focus on the Badge mace as it is really an item worth getting.
It is equivalent to some of the best maces out atm and would prob not be so easily replaced as say a pc of gear.
Therefore the longevity is greatly worth the badges.
There are also High Justicar legs from badges that would compliment my gear fairly fast.
There is a ring from badges I would go after if I do not see the Za ring drop from timed chest runs or get my Eternity ring (need to kill Kael ) Noob I be for not having him dead.
Actually my guild killed him 2 x and moved on. I was not lucky enough to be there.
I think he is the most under farmed Boss in the game, well Kelthusad is up there also
I have been trying to get the Mojo disk, mehh he keeps dropping the Tank shield.
I additionally am an Alchemist and working on the Redeemer Stone :) which will add + 50 healing and the 40% additional mana efficiency from pots.
I am at 2000 - 2040 + heal 21% crit when spec'd holy and 2033 - 2073 after I farm enchant today.
In no later then 2 weeks I will have the mace at + 82 more heal. The Redeemer stone at + 49 more heal.
A week later the High Justicar legs with + 35 more heal.
In all I should within 3 weeks achieve around 2250 + heal approx 600 more hp and spell crit about 24%
That would be with items I will receive by way of farm. With any luck on a shield or ring drop it conceivably be a little higher.
Well thats the game plan. I wanted to address my healing gear as there are some weaknesses in it.
I have been healing in BT with no complaints. I heal very aggressively and try to max out the potential of the gear equipped.
I run a ssc/tk run every sat at 5 server. we flip between the 2 every other week. we're in ssc this week so next week is tk (assumeing we git vashj this week) Gitting you your vial will not be hard to accomplish assumeing you can make those raid times for that raid. see my ssc thread for how loot rules work in those 2 instances. they are different then the furious raid system we use for the 2 main 25 man runs.
Heaps of us are in the Portland, OR area - I'm up in Bellingham at the moment. A great deal of the long-time members of this guild (3+ years) are from Washington in general.
rofl dude.. I was day 1 Warsong. Avatar was the first 60 on the server. He was in Bane, got kicked out and formed Corp Hur. I swear the phrase "oh thats a hunter weapon" originated on our server, because he'd need on any and everything that he could equip and claim it was good for a hunter. Anyways, long story short, since Warsong server sucked (700+ queues even after all the transfers) pretty much all guilds decided to transfer. Avatar planned for the guild to transfer to BDF, however when the time came I think only he ended up there, the rest on some other server... rofl so good. He was rather hated on Warsong lol. This was early 2006 tho, maybe even 2005.
The dwarf pally gives u thumbs up...and the human pally does too! I love the time you put into your app +50 DKP. (lol)
HealBot vs. Grid ...ahhhhh u remind me of...ME! Garreth had to shove Grid down my throat, I was comfortable with HB, and it worked for me. When I finally bit the bullet and let go of HB and went to Grid full time, it was the best thing I ever did. There is sooooo much more info to be gained from Grid, in such a small space. Grid has got to be the single greatest healing mod EVER made. If you want to sit down and go over the details and customize it, and would like a hand gimme a holler!
The Seattle thing says Destiny?? lol A metric fuck ton of the guild is from that area! lol
Fun Times in IRC:
[15:27] Dragonfork: aidin hates me this I know, for my repair
bills tell me so. many times my health is low, aidin laughs when i
explode. yes aidin kills me, yes aidin kills me.
Black dragonflight... Did you know Avatar, the hunter? (I'm not sure if that was his name upon transferring). If you did know him, I feel sorry for you :P
I was on Black dragonflight Pre BC. There was a guild that formed toward the last few months of Pre Bc content.
Err I forget the name, however it was comprised of some talented raiders.
All I recall was that one day may-ham broke loose on the server about the guild breaking up and Avatar being the focus of huge drama.
So time goes by my guild raided into Naxx and were on our 9th boss. As most guilds our raid force diminished and consequently stopped raiding.
So I decided to head to Korgath where it was known progression was strong.
Now here is the funny part lol. I xfer over and one day I see this hunter named Avatar and out of strictly curiosity say " hey weren't you on BlackDragonflight ?"
About 20 seconds goes by and i get a tell back saying "stfu" buddy you know dam well who I am welcome to my ignore list"
I really didn't know the guy lol, anyway funny you asked.
Really impressive. And I like me some healin' apps that know their mods ;)
Hai! I'm going to be the short, pudgy pally that will talk your ear off about trying out Grid for raid healing!
This is a very cool application and you really know your stuff.
Just as a point of clarification: Why are you leaving your old guild/server? I see them at #6 ranked for your server, with some fair work ahead of them in BT. Is it drama or a stagnation?
We love to joke around with each other in guild chat and raid chat. Most of us have been raiding together for 3+ years now, so we're very close. This translates into some tighter bonds and some pretty ...er, "raunchy" guild/raid chat. It's always in good fun. We tend to be more supportive in raid and there's no screaming (except on boss kills). But, if a rogue body pulls fifteen waves of Teron-trash, he'll likely get a raid warning or two of "FAIL!".
I can, in all confidence, let you know that server transferring to Gorg will mean you get to see raids with us pretty much immediately. Our LF1M raid will be into the first bosses of BT tonight while our Hamfist raid will be finishing off Council and Illidan Friday, with shots on Kalecgos afterward. You'll see some action ;) Contact any Downfall member online tonight and they'll direct you to an officer.

Aye Garreth in response to
Eledin (not verified) — Thu, 06/19/2008 - 18:22Aye Garreth in response to grid I do have that mod as well also clique.
I have them disabled as I was using healbot to raid heal. That is not to say I am open to what ever ya think is best.
I actually downloaded both Grid and Clique to see if it would improve effective healing.
Additionally I forgot to mention a very important mod, Decursive :)
I pride myself in that I am usually close to first on dispell counts.
And last I wanted to mention I am an Alchy, (well no not that kind) but Alchemist by trade so I will pick up additional + healing with the imp stone.
Thanks
Eledin
Hey thanks for the fast
Eledin (not verified) — Thu, 06/19/2008 - 17:49Hey thanks for the fast reply :)
First the guild is carrying there standing due to the GM having exp into Sunwell.
According to wowjitsu it shows content raided that most of the guild has not seen.
We were on Illidan and farming 7/8 Bt and 5/5 Hyjal.
As far as why I am looking for a guild.
I am more then happy to go over the details if necessary however it just was not a good match with regard to maturity on certain issues.
I hope I did not make the wrong impression as far as activity in raid vent.
I have fairly thick skin and welcome criticism in various forms as long as it is with intent to help or teach new or better ways.
Or even to call out someone Failing to dumb things like blue fire they think is a mana spring.
Anyway any questions let me know. Btw my xfer is available Tues the 24th.
Maybe a chat in vent if there is genuine interest.
Thanks
Eledin
