My name Is Ryan. I am a film editor and audio engineer. I went to Columbia College Chicago. Graduated with a double Major and Minor in screenwriting. I worked on the Dark Knight as a Key Grip for the lights. I also did a dolly pull on the scene when the truck flips over backwards. Clint Eastwood signed my final paper for my Authorship Class.

No, I meant that the tank was the fail, not you.

hahahah

I just woke up. My bad. Thanks for the advice! =)

Hmm

Torvo — Tue, 05/19/2009 - 08:07

Wonder who Ghli's talking about. Hope it's me... I'm going for the title of worst healer on the server!

PUGs can be a good way to go, just gotta be careful with making sure you're getting into one that knows what they're doing. the !!1 Saturday raid has had to resort to PUGs on more than one occasion to fill a slot when someone leaves halfway through, or we're just short for the weekend. Like Ghli said, just gotta make sure you do your research on Armory and know what you're getting yourself into.

But when in doubt (or just when craving a quick and easy heroic) spam the dfrecruit channel. There's almost never any trouble finding people from DF to run heroics with.

Torvo next time I think

Rhyan (not verified) — Tue, 05/19/2009 - 11:15

Torvo next time I think I will start using armory. Fail groups just are not worth the time. But I guess it's a learning experiance.

and I have talked in the df

Rhyan (not verified) — Tue, 05/19/2009 - 10:59

and I have talked in the df recruit channel. but I do not want to spam it. I'm sure everyone is busy and doing there own thing. I don't want to be a spammer. But I guess with that said I'll ask more frequently. It's more out of being bored that I do heroics now. and it's just good pracitce to get your reflexs going for a raid.

Nah I was the healer that

Leighann — Tue, 05/19/2009 - 10:46

Nah I was the healer that day,,,I think we wiped 6 times was it? *atar sigh*

Met Rhyan this morning when I

Leighann — Mon, 05/18/2009 - 22:11

Met Rhyan this morning when I was distracted with a telephone call and flying in midair where Chillmaw decided to make me go splat. Along came this helpful pally who rezzed me on the spot, healed and then grouped to avenge me!! Very friendly and offered help with other quests, look forward to seeing him in heroics and raids.

Oh Yes I saw this unholy

Rhyan (not verified) — Mon, 05/18/2009 - 23:06

Oh Yes I saw this unholy demon summoning warlock. Flying on a magic carpet. then a dragon mauled her in the face. and I was NO! So I ran down all role playing style and was like I summon you back from the twisting nether! and then Leighann was like. Quest!?!? and I was like Quest? What's that? an achievment? Lawls. Really good dps! I enjoyed helping kill the dragon. I forget the name of the Shaman Dragon Slayer. but that shammy was bad ass as well. Anywho. It's 2:05am. and I'm going to go quest on my shadow priest. Name is Zencarth. If anyone has an alt. I have duel spec on him. so I can dps or heal. Pst me in game if you want to instance grind. I'm 73 atm.

That would probably be

Dragon — Mon, 05/18/2009 - 23:32

That would probably be Rhoora, who happens to be Salmon's resident Enhancing Windfuzzle bot.

Although I do have to erm, question where you put pallypower and grid. Then again you aren't me so they might not drive you batshit where they are now.

So this morning I was 1803

Rhyan (not verified) — Mon, 05/18/2009 - 21:24

So this morning I was 1803 sp. and felt like a complete noob. now I'm 1979. It's amazing what a respec some enchants and pris socket bracers gloves and buckle belt can do. and a new trinket. WOOT WOOT! I'm so proud. So close to 2000sp. I can just feel it. mmmmmmmm. ^_^

Hi Rhyan. I have a few

jaibyrd — Mon, 05/18/2009 - 18:07

Hi Rhyan. I have a few online friends who I think the world of, Rhyan is one of those ones. He plays well with others, he runs with scissors when nessicary. I've known Rhyan ingame for a couple of years, he has been unfailingly a good person. Though...don't get him drunk and ask him about stuff. Plus I do like healing with him, he keeps his wits about him.

hahaha

Rhyan (not verified) — Mon, 05/18/2009 - 19:28

Come on Jaibyrd that was one time! ONE TIME! Never again. and you know it was funny. Regardless. Thank you for the kind words. Now what is the correct vent info so I can come talk to you?

Grid and pally power look

Aidin — Mon, 05/18/2009 - 14:46

Grid and pally power look very awkwardly placed. Do you reallly play with those in that position, or did someone warn you not to apply before getting those to avoid rabid holy paladins like myself and Garreth? ;)

No Aidin.

Rhyan (not verified) — Mon, 05/18/2009 - 18:07

I put in the middle of the screen to show I had them. and to be a tad funny. =P Thanks for the concern. lol

Hmm.. the Armory shows me

garreth — Mon, 05/18/2009 - 14:30

Hmm.. the Armory shows me that you're not fully glyphed. Might be a bug, though. Let me know! Also, enchant your boots, gloves and cloak!

It doesn't appear that you

garreth — Mon, 05/18/2009 - 14:27

It doesn't appear that you PvP very much, so you 61 points in Holy have a lot of waste. If this is your PvE spec, you can drop Unyielding Faith, Improved Concentration Aura, and Purifying Power. Get those points into Ret and really watch your throughput and efficiency climb. Also, I consider Pursuit of Justice in Ret damn near REQUIRED for Ulduar and beyond. Look into it, talk to me about it.

Thumbs up. I could nitpick

garreth — Mon, 05/18/2009 - 14:14

Thumbs up. I could nitpick your keybinding choices and we'd have to get your spec synch'd with whatever other holy pally you end up running with, but I like it.

Now, here's what you need to do. Check this app FREQUENTLY and BE IN GAME WHEN OUR RAIDS NEED PEOPLE. You have no idea how many people app and the POOF dissappear. Don't be that guy.
