I know G already said "grab him" and the app's closed, but I'd also throw in he's tanked heroics for Fjork any number of times with no-epic phail.   :p

BUMP!

He's done everything asked of him imo, and filled in where needed. Any outstanding concerns or criticisms?

I'd like to get him in guild.  I have no complaints, and with Xendu bailing and Turth moving we have room for DK's in our raids.

took him as DPS into a 10 man uld yesterday, killed everything but mim and ignis in a short amount of time, he did well, no complaints, very quiet, didnt do stupid shit, only thing a couple of us suggest is omen maybe =p  died from aggro on trash a few times lol but overall, was second or third on the damage meter competing with xendu and pulga (yes 3 DKs in one raid).

Sargus — Fri, 07/31/2009 - 18:20

Thank you for your understanding. If i ever decide to lead one again i will inspect and make sure they know what there doing to ensure the group does good. I am sorry for the expreince and i will put as much effort i do in other things, into forming a group.

leading a pug 25 man is worse

Derchlon — Fri, 07/31/2009 - 19:46

leading a pug 25 man is worse than herding kittens.  Probably closer to herding salted slugs.

First off i want to say sorry

Sargus — Wed, 07/29/2009 - 23:31

First off i want to say sorry for my preformance in voa yesterday. After wintergrasp ends i sometimes just put a group togather ,have them link me there achievement and it goes well no wipes. Today i did the same and before we reached the first boss people were going afk and dueling outside etc. When i went to do the healing assignments i said "Healers please click one" although i knew i had 5  i could not recall who some of them were due to the fact that it took awhile for the group to form. Only 2 of the healers said 1 and i was hearing "the druids afk" or "kick that guy hes dueling outside" that never happens to me, usaully people listen and are in the raid instance when we reach the boss. Now i know i need to better equip myself for those sort of people. But while i was trying to sort out this problem people started to say"go go go we wasted enough time, kick him and go" and " can we get this started already? kick the afk and get new people". for me that's alot of pressure So i wanted to fulfill these requests and the only way to do that was to get more people and replace the ones who i have sorted out. i couldnt get more people qualified for the raid in enough time, the players were growing impatiant and were whispering me saying i dont have much time left and i have to go to work soon, So i wanted to grab what i could get and at least try. Again i am sorry but i really did not know what to do.

Ok in light of your

Aurleas — Thu, 07/30/2009 - 03:10

Ok in light of your explanation it seems that your only real mistake was putting to much faith in pugs.  Try to keep in mind that they wont always be smart and or decently geared players. 

To help ensure a good raid take the time to check people out dont "just put a group together" and if you are leading pay close attention to how many heals you have dont just randomly invite and then ask for people to tell you they are healers, if its your raid you should know how many you have. Simple observations like that will make it alot easier on you and the raid. 

You seem to have put alot of effort into the changes shili suggested try to bring that same effort to any and all aspects of the game.  Hit me up if you are doing a voa again and i can help you set a group up and hopefully we can both have a better experience.

Good luck with your app

Aurleas — Wed, 07/29/2009 - 13:16

I attempted to run a voa 25 with sargus today as the raid leader.  It didnt go very well.... please if you are going to lead raids pay more attention to setting up groups and who you are bringing(gear check etc.) While you wont ever lead a main raid in df if you eventually  wear our name we want to be represented in a way that is alot more "professional" for lack of a better word than what i saw today.

If it was a pug group, it has

Shihli — Wed, 07/29/2009 - 13:32

If it was a pug group, it has just as much to do with the pug members themselves as it does the leader.

Also, don't say he won't ever lead a main raid - Ataraxia went from "random guy we ginvited" to "superb raider" to "raid officer" to "raid leader" is a very brief period of time.  If people know what they are doing, they will lead in the long run.  Grasen and Aidin went from "random people we did MC with" to incredibly influential raiders in a short period of time as well.

Long story short, don't presume to tell someone they can't do something, particularly when you're not a raid officer/leader yourself.

Aurleas's picture

Ok let me re-phrase its not

Aurleas — Wed, 07/29/2009 - 15:21

Ok let me re-phrase its not likely that he will lead df raids in the near future, particualarily if he cant take the time or make the effort to set up a pug raid for an extremely easy instance.

Example 25 man raid with only 3 healers, trying to assign said healers to tasks that were far above there gear level, having fresh 80's in greens and boa gear when its common knowledge that a minimum dps output is required to kill the boss. These are issues that fall on the raid leader. 

You are correct I am not a leader or officer. The point of my post is what can be expected from a player when he doesnt put forth any effort into a raid he is leading???

Sargus — Wed, 07/22/2009 - 09:09

Well i have worked on fixing the comments that Shihli made about my Character. I Have recently farmed enough gold to purchase Darkmoon card:greatness. Found the hodir quest chain! which i had to go to every quest giver in storm peaks to find were i left off so it took time(that was the reason i did not have better rep with them, i could not find the next quest).so i have to start working on those dailies. I have almost farmed enough gold to also level my engineering to 450 to get the benefits from it(i think i a dropping JC becuase it is only at 150, picking up leathworking and using it to farm gold)I have socketed all my gear correctly and squared away my glyphs/Tank set. My tank set that i just recently put togather enchanted and gemed is alright. 2/5 t7.5. 1/5 Darkruned t8, full epic besides the trinket from H AN Essence of Gossamar, and my ring, which i will be upgrading shortly. I have a good pvp set, full hatefull gemed correctly and being enchanted. I have searched and studied every ulduar boss i have not yet downed. I am currently gearing up for going blood next patch and trying to learn that spec as best i can to prepare.Thanks and i hope to hear from you soon

Comments for Sargus

Shihli — Fri, 07/17/2009 - 13:06

1)  YOU HAVE NO META GEM.  What - the - hell.  Get one.  Seriously.  [41285] is best.

2)  Replace the bold scarlet ruby in your helm with a sovereign twilight opal.  Combine that with a META GEM (seriously, wtf) and you won't lose any strength, but you'll gain 12 stam.

3)  Get a legitimate shoulder enchant.  Wrath of the Lich King has been out for nearly 8 months, your Sons of Hodir rep should be Exalted by now.

4)  Replace a bold scarlet ruby in your legs (blue socket) with a sovereign twilight opal.  You'll lose 2 strength but gain 12 stam, and meet your meta gem requirements in the process.

5)  You don't need Icewalker on your boots, change it to +32 AP.

6)  Do you really not have a better trinket than Loatheb's Shadow?  It's garbage.  Get a darkmoon card.

7)  You have FAR too much hit rating and armor penetration rating for a raiding Unholy-spec deathknight.  Your hit rating is 198 points TOO HIGH and your armor penetration is also far too high, preferably it should be 0 or close to it.  Armor Penetration does almost nothing for an Unholy DK.

8)  Your expertise is incredibly low.  Try to get it closer to cap, but it's not as important.

9)  Drop the 5 points in Dark Conviction and pick up Dirge, Improved Unholy Presence, and Summon Gargoyle.  Seriously.  Crit is not as important as Runic Power, movement speed, and the single most high-damaging cooldown you have (aside from Army of the Dead).

10)  Replace Glyph of Dark Death and Glyph of Death and Decay, with Glyph of the Ghoul and Scourge Strike.  The fact that you have not glyphed for Scourge Strike when it's your BEST GLYPH says something about your class knowledge.

11)  Your secondary spec (Blood tank) is all over the place.  Max out Virulence and Morbidity, drop the points in Unholy Command, and for god's sakes, GET SOME GLYPHS.

12)  Finish up your Sons of Hodir rep.  Get it to exalted.

That's about all I have to say for now.

Sargus — Fri, 07/17/2009 - 13:45

1. i just picked up the helm couple days ago and my usaul JC was away and i was waiting for him(my friend) to get back. He just got back and i will have that socket soon.

2. Yes i know  my sons of hodir rep sucks and i need to start getting on it as soon as i can and i will be doing so.

3. I just squared away my tank set gemed and enchanted it. I did not know what spec to go with so i tried to copy DK tanks that i have seen. I will change it and i have been reading up on some glyphs for it as well going to put them in shortly.

4. i have bandits insignia is bank, i was not sure which to choose, burst AP or the insignia, i now know the better choice and am working on greatness,

5. thank you for the boot enchant tip-will replace that.

Shihli — Fri, 07/17/2009 - 13:07

So is Sargus.  Don't judge on age, judge on merits, skills, friendliness, and ability to respond to criticism.

Mavandon is what, 15?  16?  And he's FAR more mature than most late-20's people I know (outside of guild of course).

pulga's picture

First thing I noticed is that

pulga — Fri, 07/17/2009 - 12:42

First thing I noticed is that you're awfully young. While I obviously don't know you, 13 year olds tend to be immature and obnoxious. So hopefully you're not. On to your armory.

I see you are an engineer and JC. Why pick engineering? Why are both not maxed? Professions are pointless unless they're maxed.

Your hit rating is very high. Your expertise is low. Sometimes you just get gear that has a ton of hit. I was unlucky enough for that since my main spec is tanking. But, I spent a few weeks and a nice chunk of gold and badges, and now I have a hit rating of 265 which is about right. Go out and get gear that has a better budget.

Are you currently working on a Greatness deck? I hope so. It costs a bit but there are very few better trinkets currently out there.

Your spec confuses me a bit. You are trading off 15% movement increase, a bit of RP generation, and a gargoyle for 5% crit. That constant speed increase works wonders for any fight with movement and your gargoyle does a nice amount of damage.

Why glyph of DnD and Dark Death? Glyph of Scourge Strike makes your rotations so much better, and Glyph of the Ghoul is great for any spec with a perm ghoul.

I'm sure Shilhi or Quisjaa could better critique this, but I just wanted to throw my 2 cents in.

response

Sargus — Fri, 07/17/2009 - 12:59

Yes i am working on the greatness deck to trade in for my trinkets.I almost have enough and whenever the darkmoon faire is in town next i will pick it up. I am working towards lowering my hit and adding expertise so i won't be dodged/parried. As for my spec i do not see how the movement speed increase helps my raid dps. I would love it to becuase it is very nice for questing/ farming yet i don't think it's worth the extra points for raids. As for my proffesions, i was recently JC/miner, then my account got hacked and proffesions deleted, blizzard was nice enough to gimme back all my gear items etc. But not proffesions. So i picked up Jewelcrafting again and decided to go with engineering for the new patch and the nitro boots. As for my spec i was experimenting with gargoyle and had it for awhile but it is being avaible for all kinds of damage next patch and is looking at a nerf and i was trying to prepare without it if i stayed unholy.My glyphs- Deathcoil is a part of my rotation and does a good deal of damage. Death and decay for AOE fights. i swap out that and scourge strike. I will probably just replace unholy blight for scourge strike, i could sacrifice the runic power. i am working towards getting them maxed as far as proffesions go, as i said i was hacked and i spent alot of my gold in leveling them the first go around, i recently picked up my epic flyer and i am woking on my greatness deck so a am trying to farm gold every chance i can get.

Movement speed helps in any

saedo — Fri, 07/17/2009 - 13:29

Movement speed helps in any fight that requires you to move.   Say, run out of the fire to live.   Run back in ASAP to start dps'ing right away.   This is more for DPS time than DPS itself, but more DPS time is more damage.

Since you got hacked...   Do you have an authenticator now?

I'll critique more later, but

Shihli — Fri, 07/17/2009 - 12:49

I'll critique more later, but one comment -

He's 13.  Ensidious was 12 when he was main tanking for us in BWL, AQ40, and Naxx.

Don't judge on age.
