READ UP ON BLOODBOIL, RELIQUARY, MOTHER, AND COUNCIL!!!

Lorb — Mon, 07/21/2008 - 21:36

I'll be honest, I've spent my time watching Alar, Kael and Vashj videos.  I didn't think you might need me for BT so soon.  I'll start watching them tomorrow mourning just incase.

explode. yes aidin kills me, yes aidin kills me.

Sorreah, ramble all you

Lorb — Mon, 07/21/2008 - 16:54

Sorreah, ramble all you want.  How better to know an applicant than to ask questions and give suggestions.  I threw on my pvp gear for Alar because I simply didn't wanna die while I was assigned to keep up one tank.  Having never done the fight,(reading and watching videos can only do so much) I felt I could keep up the tank with my pvp gear on.  The last thing an applicant wants to do is die in a boss fight and wipe a raid.  Its nice to have imput, please post comments anytime. :)

i didnt get to talk with you

Sorreah — Mon, 07/21/2008 - 15:25

i didnt get to talk with you much but i did notice that on alar you were sporting 5 pieces of pvp set gear and more than a few off pieces

while i understand stamina is important and can be an issue in a fight like alar you cut so many healing stats with that many pieces you are gimping yourself with the 8300 i am seeing unbuffed you are going to be fine in most fights a 1 or 2 piece swap will be plenty 

you have some great gear pieces that you have obviously taken seriously [Hands of Eternal Light] are not cheap 

definatly keep up with the spirit regem  and keep it in mind when gearing in general as an example the jade ring from prince gives 12mp5 and while the heart menders off illhoof gives 17 spirit    the spirit is literally an equal Mp5 trade for me and in stat wieght mp5 is a lot more expensive

 i think i have kind of rambled on so i will finish there

I dont know much about

Desteran — Mon, 07/21/2008 - 11:34

I dont know much about priest healing (I only know who to blame when healing the melee grp and I see them get topped off when I'm halfway through my CH cast). But on Kael, meters aren't where its at. Did your assignment die. If not, youre solid. Besides that asshole healing the lock is gonna top the meters anyway.

Lorb seems to be a very nice guy and he's got my support.

Question though Lorb. How do you heal? Do you use mouseovers? Click-to-cast?

Pure spirit gems in all blue

chrislow — Mon, 07/21/2008 - 11:07

Pure spirit gems in all blue slots. +8 if you gotta, +10 if you can afford it. I stick haste into yellow slots, and I only have healing gems (and only 2 of them anyway) because the meta requires the color coded goodness of red slots. Shrug.

I 100% agree w/ Antiquite. 

Nhia (not verified) — Mon, 07/21/2008 - 09:52

I 100% agree w/ Antiquite.  Def regem for spirit.  It is your bestestestest friend as a priest.  You not only gain the  AMAZING mana regen, but healing from spirit.  So....definitely purified shadowsongs or even the 10 spirit gems.  You'll be in love w/ spirit once you do.

My friend from my old guild regemed allllll his gear spirit unless it was a red slot and he did 11heal/5spirit. 

Yes I'm already looking into

Lorb — Mon, 07/21/2008 - 09:59

Yes I'm already looking into re-gemming.  Weighting the cost of doing it to pc's that I hope to replace soon.  Any new pc's will have spirit as my 1st choice and will still probably switch out some now.  Thanks again for the suggestions, I don't think a day goes by where I don't learn something from this guild.Smile

WOW, what a guild!  Being

Lorb — Mon, 07/21/2008 - 07:01

WOW, what a guild!  Being in boss fights,(especially Kael) that I've never been in, being assigned to one tank my only concern is keeping that tank up and myself.  Not knowing when they'll take damage, how much, how fast and where they're gonna run too, is a big drawback when it comes to healing others.  Much less worrying about myself.  And even being in fights that I know, seeing how ya'll run them takes a bit getting use to.  But its still a shock to see me at the bottem of the healing meters,(what awsome healers ya'll have).  So its speaks highly of Downfall for people to still say nice things about someone and to realize that I'm not only trying but learning.   So once again, I'm looking to just have fun, meet new people and to be an asset to a guild.  I don't have to be a "main" raider until I can prove that I belong and am needed.      Thanks Downfall

Had a chance to talk with him a small bit during mAlt. Seemed like a nice person, which is more important to me than anything else. 

 

I support this one.

Lorb did well last night. Haveing 4 priests in raid I didnt git to see him in coh mode as often as i would have liked. Had him focus healeing tanks more often than not. Lets see what he got at kael thas this afternoon after malt. 

Grasen, thanks for a great

Lorb — Sun, 07/20/2008 - 09:00

Grasen, thanks for a great raid.  Yes I was a little more on tanks than I was use to and 1st time on grid I know I was slower than normal but I can see where grid will help once I've mastered it.  Its nice not having to worry about the entire raid and tanks at the same time, ya'll have a great bunch of healers!  I'm looking forward to learning from ya'll and getting better, see ya'll tonight....I was told 6 server

minus a couple of people

Nellem1 — Sat, 07/19/2008 - 00:52

minus a couple of people there lorby. hence, me. also, insurrection took a big hit when they lost 3 of their main raiders to account restrictions. that took a lot of the steam out of their raiding. with that, the guild kind of started falling apart.

First think I'd suggest is

Agoney — Fri, 07/18/2008 - 18:12

First think I'd suggest is to regem. Take out all those ugly +22/18 healing gems and swap them for 11 healing 5 spirit. You could also use the 11 healing mp5 ones, or even 10 spirit. A lot of people are obsessed with higher healing numbers, but the soft cap is around 2100. With Coh You want to be in that 2000-2200, with a lot of mp5. Spec looks pretty good, I'd maximize Healing prayers personally, whenever I do heal I keep PoM always on CD. Other then that I think the app is solid.

I needed a spot to ask a question for all the insurrection people, so I'll slightly hijack this thread. What caused the guild to break up? If drama was involved, are you bringing that with you(everyone) as well? 

Antiquite, thanks for the

Lorb — Fri, 07/18/2008 - 21:57

Antiquite, thanks for the gem suggestions, I will check into that with some of your other healers.  As for insurrection, the ones I know that are applying are anything but "drama" guys.  Basically we were a  guild that stop pushing forward for a while to gear up others.  This didn't set well with some guys so they decided to go elsewhere.  Then the next week we couldn't get 25 guys for the raid, this cause others to worry and leave.  Ya'll are getting apps from the guys who pretty much stayed till the ship had sunk.  The early bailers went elsewhere...by the way- excellent question.

Allright, Lorb, your

garreth — Fri, 07/18/2008 - 17:18

Allright, Lorb, your homework is to get more comfortable with the following addons:

Grid
Ora2
BigWigs
Recount or Violation
Omen

Specific things you'll want to work on are how you move things around, configure stuff, resize stuff and customize them. You're looking like the kind of guy we need. Let's get you rock solid on our tools and get you in.

Aidin — Fri, 07/18/2008 - 18:13

Lorb will admit he's not the techiest of techs (not to the nerdy platform that most of us/you are on for sure)...and getting these things together and working on them hasn't been easy for him ...

< insert vision of Grasen vs. Garreth mod debates before Grasen crossed to the light of custom UIs >

...sorry I get sidetracked...but he's actually truly excited about learning our mods, it would bring a big fat tear to Garreth's eye.

Lorb — Fri, 07/18/2008 - 17:24

I've used omen alot, been working on grid in battle grounds and will continue to get familiar with the others.  Thanks for all the advice, I'm excited about getting better.  To all my fiends, and future friends who have said alot of nice and helpful things here, thankyou, it means alot!

Lorb is the kind of guy you

Rahn — Fri, 07/18/2008 - 17:14

Lorb is the kind of guy you want around in a guild. Ive played with him a lot. He is a great healer but he is also the kind of guy you want around. He is always willing to do what ever with out complaining, he shows up on time and lets you know if he will be late or missing. He takes the time to ask questions if he dont understand too. I highly believe in the guy. Great friend and palyer

He took the time to whisper

chrislow — Fri, 07/18/2008 - 16:41

He took the time to whisper me and ask me questions about spec and gear yesterday. He seems like a great dude and i'd love to see him in DF. He's got my seal of approval!

Nellem1's picture

LORBY!!! Man, all the good

Nellem1 — Fri, 07/18/2008 - 11:17

LORBY!!! Man, all the good one's are startin to show up =D. Lorb was one of the top healers in Insurrection when i raided with him. He's always there and shows a lot of dedication to his guild members.

Nhia (not verified) — Fri, 07/18/2008 - 10:49

Gonna be honest here.  I like this app and his gear is spot on minus a few key upgrades he can get from Hyjal or BT (I.E. primal mooncloth).  Easily fixed tho.

Took time on his application and he seems like a go getter.  hehe  He has sunwell wand and ring already.  This Guy would be a good pick up in the guild, imo.

I hope he just realizes this is a community first and a pve raiding guild second.  :)
