Tonight was a shining example as to why you should be online during 25
man progression nights...we had spots, and one could have been yours.

Good activity, I'd like to run something with you in-game sometime.  Hope to see you in the recruit channel to do something soon.

Hello sir or madam, and

Aidin — Mon, 01/04/2010 - 19:40

Hello sir or madam, and welcome to the Dowfall recruitment process. If you fancy a quick invite, have thin skin, or like purps over people then don't waste your time reading what follows, just press on now.  If you are a skilled player, or even a player in need of a little molding, and you have time to dedicate to dead bosses, and to a community of people that do more together then play a video game, then here's a few things for you.

Recruitment Process

Step 1 Application : Well you've already completed this step by taking the time to complete our lengthy application.  Some think it's silly, we have documented proof that it easily weeds out the douchebags before wasting too much of our time.

Step 2 Who are you? :
Type /join dfrecruit in game.  This will put you in our global chat channel for recruits.  You'll find lots of Downfall members in that channel often shouting for people for random heroics.  This will get you're name out there, let people get to know you.  The more people you get to know, the more people will begin to comment on your application, and thus keep it "alive"

Until you start to get comments from those who excel in your class, or those who have nice/not so nice things to say about you as they get to know you, it's up to YOU to keep you're application active, it's not just a matter of posting and never coming back, we are website oriented, get used to using it.

Step 3 Be There : Be online during raid times, its even better if you're on from start to finish, since people will DC mid-raid.  If you're apping to raid, it's a long and grueling process.  We DO need consistent skilled players for both 25 man raids, and you're not the only person trying to get that spot.  What we like to see is our apps posting on the raid events that they are available to fill in on a given night.  Then if you've posted that you're going to be on that night, make sure to shout our a reminder in dfrecruit just as raid is about to start just to let us know you're on. It may be weeks, it may be months before you see action, but you may end up with a spot the first time you join the recruit channel.

All questions regarding raid invite status for Kitten Brigade should be directed to Zariyah in game. (alt Sainttaryn)

Salmon inquiries should be made to Ataraxia.

Please do not bother the other raid leaders, they have lots to do.


Well that's what you can expect for the next few weeks/months.  We've had applicants that have waited over 3 months for an invite, we've invited people within a few days, every situation is different. So get you're name out there, get some comments, and good luck to you!

Looking at armory, the spec

saedo — Sun, 01/03/2010 - 23:19

Looking at armory, the spec you linked, and everything...   Are you aware of the changes made in 3.3?

Your spec is, mostly right.  But getting a chance to look over 5 months of rogue apps, there were some that actually hit on the 3.3 spec, back in 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, so before it was the good spec.    So is this a lucky hit?

Also the way you gem, it could be construed it was the 3.2 way and you haven't switched, only switching with new gear...   Do you know the 3.3 way to gem?

And did you know you're over the expertise cap by 7 rating?

Cheap enchant on chest as well.

Your nightmare tear isn't in a blue slot to activate an extra socket bonus.   Or maybe it is, but you're not using a yellow gem to allow the nightmare tear to activate an extra socket bonus.

@saedo

pancit — Mon, 01/04/2010 - 17:15

To address your first question, yes i grasp a general awareness of the changes made in 3.3, and for your information i respecced after the update- post 3.3 patch- so my spec is not a lucky hit.  

As far as i know, i do know the proper way to gem; however, i might not know everything and i admit to the possibility of perhaps being ignorant to a a few aspects of it.  but i am open to learning that which i am unfamiliar with. 

yes, i am aware i'm over the expertise cap.  but i don't think theres any other way to reach the cap without going a few points under.  

ah, i've totally forgot about my chest enchant until now.  i will get to that asap.

and as for the nightmare tear, i just put it a temporary place for now until i get new gear.

thank you for reading my application! :]

Ok if you say that, then I'll

saedo — Mon, 01/04/2010 - 17:56

Ok if you say that, then I'll tell you where it's wrong.  Rupture.   In 3.3, we don't use rupture anymore.     Well, it still means your spec is not totally wrong, cause there's really no other glyph/spec that does increase dps directly.   But, can always take advantage of better utility, I for one go for Fleet Footed, speed is always good, and use Tricks glyph, more threat more raid dps.

As for proper way of gemming, you gem AP, and Haste nowadays.   You're full of agi gems.

For exp capping, 7 over rating, or 3 under rating + 8 hit rating.    It's not an absolute necessity to get overcap while sacrificing stat points.    Did you know that each fraction counts?   Not just what the char screen says.     You can indeed have 6.42% while that screen only reports a rounded down figure of 6.25%

ah i see.  hm, it seems there

pancit — Mon, 01/04/2010 - 19:20

ah i see.  hm, it seems there is much more than i currently know; and according to what you've told me here, there is much being omitted from the source from which i obtain my class information.  (elitist jerks rogue pocket guide).

if you don't mind me asking...

if not rupture, what bleed effect do rogues primarily rely on to maintain Hunger for Blood?  bleed effects by other players?  garrote + vanish + garrote?

also, is there a "haste cap" of some sort?  i'm tempted to gem haste, however i do not the ideal amount a rogue must have.  

ah, i shall keep that fraction factoid in mind. 

thanks for the help.  this information will definitely prove itself useful.

You looking at the current

saedo — Mon, 01/04/2010 - 19:36

You looking at the current one?  http://elitistjerks.com/f78/t37183-pocket_guide_wotlk_updated_3_3_a/  There's no mention of ruptures in it except as the lone bleeder.

It's basically all Envenoms.    And yes, in a raid setting, you'd get your bleed effects from other players.    If there really isn't any, you'd put up your garrote/rupture.  But that's only to get a bleed off, not truely part of the dps rotation.    Basically just makes your HfB cost 25 more energy than normal.

There's no haste cap.   You'd have to check spreadsheets to see breakpoints.   Cause the more AP you have, the better haste is, the more haste you have the better AP is.    Depending on gear setups, those 2 stats are likely gonna be jockeying back and forth as the top stat.   What you can start with is use Stark (AP/haste) gems in yellow slots.    Most socket bonuses for reds and yellows are worth going for.   Example would be your belt and shoulders.

 

 

 

i see! thanks!  i'll

pancit — Mon, 01/04/2010 - 19:58

i see! thanks!  i'll definitely have this fixed.
