No activity in almost 8 months, and "Syrae" is no longer on Gorgonnash. Best of luck.

Still alive?

Yessir.

Yessir.

Show me where on your screen

garreth — Sun, 04/19/2009 - 23:06

Show me where on your screen your raid frames sit and how you reach them while moving, running and staying out of fire. What macros do you use? What do you use to monitor your cooldowns?

Also, please answer me this healing-based question in as much detail as possible: You are main-tank healing when the tank disconnects. What do you do, as a druid healer?

Grid goes on the bottom left

Grid goes on the bottom left slightly below the standard party frames.

As for the main tank healing it really depends on the situation. If we have a warrior, DK, or a Paladin (depending on spec) that can easily pick up agro then I'd expect them to start to tank. However if they don't pick up agro, or we none exist, I switch into bear form, taunt it, pop my +10 rage ability and build agro as fast as possible. Once I have steady agro probably throw a frenzied regeneration in there in case the healing is scarce.

Sorry for the late response, been a pretty hectic couple of days.

hello there. Why did you

hello there. Why did you leave the server? Why did you come back?

Syrae — Sun, 04/19/2009 - 15:47

I left the server because I moved to a new state with a buddy of mine and decided to live it up a little more. I worked full time and on my time off I just tried to just enjoy myself as much as possible. After a year or two of doing that I've slowed down a bit, with a lot more free time so I decided to reinstall and try to pick up where I left off.

Tell me more about the

garreth — Sat, 04/18/2009 - 13:08

Tell me more about the helicopter thing. Talk to me a bit about healing strats. I'm pretty hard on our healers, being one myself for the last four years. How do you approach healing? What were some encounters you found challenging as a healer and why?

hmm

How long do you intend to stay in Downfall?:

Until death do us apart.

Get Grid somewhere up in that

garreth — Sat, 04/18/2009 - 10:15

Get Grid somewhere up in that screenshot and let's talk :)

Re:Grid

Syrae — Sat, 04/18/2009 - 19:57

Heh, I actually have grid it's just on standby. Also when it comes to healing) my responsibility is to basically keep lifeblooms, along with Rejuv's up on the tanks, Wild Growth the groups in need, Nourish for a quick flash heal for who ever is in need for a quick heal.

Back in the day when I use to play my paladin (Diela use to be my Paladin a long, long, time ago - Still a good friend of mine) Patch use to be one of my favorite encounters just because of the challenge of the healing, I also enjoyed Vael in BWL (Unlimited mana, how can you hate that). Most of my experience, as noted comes on a Paladin.

As for flying I worked as a CFI (certified flight instructor) for about 6 months until the company started to lose a lot of it's students. Flying cost a lot of money, so the business relies on students getting loans. Ever since the economy took a poop, companies are a bit more hesistant to give students loans so theres been a rapid decrease of students. Long story short I was flying about 2-3 hours a week which is not nearly enough to get me any money so I move on to greener pastures. So I no longer work as a CFI, going back to school for business to get on that side of table. Aviations my passion.
