He's good, he always knows

Kwondre — Mon, 09/07/2009 - 08:26

He's good, he always knows his shit. Never complains about not getting in, and he's always on.

Don't know if there's a regular 25man slot for him in our 25 man raids just yet, but he's been the first guy I look for for Aristocrats. I imagine if he got enough shots, he'd become a regular for one of them.

judgments

I see you have a judge macro on your bar, I'm actually quite curious on what it does? is it like /autoattack /judgement??

I have prot as my offspec and any info would help!

thanks

Judge

acetylcoa — Mon, 09/07/2009 - 05:01

It blows wings and judges wisdom.

No better time to make 20% more threat than everytime its up.

What if you need a clutch

saedo — Mon, 09/07/2009 - 10:29

What if you need a clutch bubble wall in those first 30 seconds? Or if you should judge light???

Thats an excellent point

acetylcoa — Mon, 09/07/2009 - 12:26

Thats an excellent point saedo, and it has gotten me into trouble a couple times before.

That is why there is a regular judgement button right above it.

Aurleas — Sat, 09/05/2009 - 21:09

Ace filled in tanking for salmon on thursday and did great I will be sure to hit you up again if we are short tanks.

Also topped damage in aristocrats ten man Anubarak kill with his lock.

Keep up the good work hope to raid with you again soon.

good job?

acetylcoa — Sun, 09/06/2009 - 19:28

I appreciate the kind words. I;m pretty dissapointed in myself for getting flash frozen 3x /sigh. First time tanking hodir, but i knew the fight. Hopefully i resloved the issue by dumping Bigwigs in the garbage for DBM again. this always helps:

FLASH FREEZE!

Bigwigs dun do dat

If you like DBM and it works

saedo — Mon, 09/07/2009 - 01:06

If you like DBM and it works fine and you're completely used to how it does things. Use it. About half our raid uses it and trying to convert those old fogies to change with the times! ;p

Big Wigs does, in fact, do

garreth — Sun, 09/06/2009 - 22:44

Big Wigs does, in fact, do this. I only use BigWigs and I do not get flash frozen.

DBM is just what im used to

acetylcoa — Mon, 09/07/2009 - 04:58

DBM is just what im used to seeing. Also if there was any setup needed, that was the first time i had used it in a raid so it wasnt setup at all.

sigh

acetylcoa — Sun, 09/06/2009 - 19:29

Those were supposed to be 1 inch letters....

big wigs does ace

h4mm32 — Mon, 09/07/2009 - 01:02

but when you're a tanky tank.... or you're a tanky dps, big flashing red letter super impossed over a boss's avatar is quite nice and the ever popular "run away little girl run away" everytime something bad is pretty much about to happen

w00t

h4mm32 — Sat, 09/05/2009 - 00:09

i hear he did good in raid today on his warlock, well you can't be good at everything i guess that explains the peggle skills, i gotta get that mod installed again if ace is gonna be around

Ace, we might be in need of

Ace, we might be in need of your tanking services in our ten man TOC today - starts at 4 PM server. Our regular might be down

Ill be here

acetylcoa — Wed, 09/02/2009 - 06:01

we almost definitely will

Kwondre — Wed, 09/02/2009 - 12:05

we almost definitely will have a spot for you today...for lock or pally tank..potentially both

I ran back to back H AN

Aurleas — Wed, 09/02/2009 - 01:11

I ran back to back H AN dailies with ace tonight he performed well on both his lock and paladin.

Make sure to be on at 6pm st and in dfrecruit channel hopefully we have some space to give you a shot in a raid and see how you stack up with our raiders and mesh with our community.

Good luck with your app

Ran voa10 with him tonight.

Ran voa10 with him tonight. Did well, held aggro, all that jazz.

A couple quick questions on

Fjork — Tue, 09/01/2009 - 20:01

A couple quick questions on your glyph-set. I notice you don't have the Glyph of Sense Undead. It's a minor glyph that gives a 1% boost to demons and undead. Just a thought.

More specifically however is your Glyph of Hammer of the Righteousness. that is more of an off-tank glyph than anything. If you only OT or 3rd tank, cool.

Glyph of Righteous Defense - 8% Hit on RF gives a better gurantee that you won't miss.
Glyph of the Wise - With no Spi Att glyph, and only 1 point in Spi Att. Its a good balance
Glyph of Lay on Hands - Free heal randomly 5 minutes sooner. It's a mana-dump, but could make a difference between the Argent Defender procs.

Just some thoughts.

Beyond that, when dorking around with your warlock you had a good attitude. I always like. :-D

update

acetylcoa — Wed, 08/26/2009 - 18:15

Well, it seems i need to change my approach to this app. APT, as of tonight, it seems is all but disbanding. Which is sort of the reason i applied here to begin with, because i had an idea it was coming. I am officially looking for a new home for all my characters and would hope that DF would consider me.

yea

h4mm32 — Tue, 09/01/2009 - 11:39

he played his lock a ton through ulduar then gradually started using his paladin more and more in alt 10 man runs of ulduar, he'd ask me for advice and mentioned a few times that he was wanting to kind of switch over to his paly more that he was bored with his lock and thought tanking was fun. he's an honest guy a good player and faily adaptive, he does his research for fights and his class. i'd vote yes, if anyone is able to help with 5 man runs id love to do a few with him to get him some DF social time

Faily?

acetylcoa — Tue, 09/01/2009 - 11:42

Faily adaptive? This must be noboru, referring to my peggle play.

oops

Grasen — Wed, 08/26/2009 - 11:11

i see several mentions of his hunter on his lock app, virgill even said he sees his hunter a lot at that time.

so my question for you is this. was your hunter once your main? If yes, when did you switch from hunter to lock (approx date) and when did you switch from lock to pally?(date again also)

Hunter

acetylcoa — Wed, 08/26/2009 - 12:38

I quit playing my hunter after the bm/mm shanking of 3.0(i think). I worked pretty hard at trying to get good dps and when i did, blizz cut it in half. I leveled my warlock after that, and it is still what i would consider my main, since it is what i raid with APT on. My pally is just an alt that i want to play more of. Dates on that? no idea. Been raiding with APT for a couple months i guess, and working on my pally in between.

so this is an app solely for

Grasen — Wed, 08/26/2009 - 12:57

so this is an app solely for your alt? we dont work that way, we're not an alt guild. it;s all or nothing with us, Good luck to you.

my vote is no.

all or nothing

acetylcoa — Wed, 08/26/2009 - 14:44

I dont even begin to think i would be recuited in as a tank for DFs main 25 man raid. Which leaves me with nothing to do while that is going on. So it makes sense to me, if i can be a casual on my warlock and be able to raid when i have nothing for downfall. When i say my pally is an 'alt', i mean it isnt the character i applied to APT as. So if i raid on my pally i have to find a pug. If it works out where i had a slot in a regular raid weekly, I guess I would consider my pally my 'main'. Basically, I have DPS'd for a while and i want to do something different. APT doesnt have a slot for a tank, so im trying other guilds.
