Which addons do you consider essential and why?: 
I've definitely grown dependent on some, especially DBM and x Perl for raid frames.
PvE
Raid Experience: 

I hit 70 on my hunter not long before the release of WotLK, so the only raid experience i got was a few clears of Karazhan. At 80 on my Hunter, I've cleared Naxx 10&25, 13/14 in Ulduar 10&25, 5/5 ToC 10&25, 5/5 in ToGC 10 (Mad Skill), 3/5 in ToGC 25, 5/12 ICC 10 (Festergut down), 4/12 ICC 25.

On my Paladin, I've cleared Naxx 10&25, 13/14 in Ulduar 10&25, 5/5 ToC 10&25, 5/5 in ToGC 10 (Mad Skill), 5/12 ICC 10&25 (Festergut down). I've tanked all of these instances, and healed

Tell us a little about yourself.: 
I have BSs in Chemical Engineering and Materials Science & Engineering. I graduated in June and have given up looking for a job for the time being because the market is terrible for my major. I'm a runner and enjoy the occasional run, but obviously not during raid time =)

Aurleas — Fri, 02/05/2010 - 18:41

Hi Kinetics


Downfalls second 25 man raid Salmon is in need of another tank, be on and ready to rock tue-thurs 6-9 pm sever time and we will try and get you in for ICC 25.

I will make sure

Badpriestess — Sat, 02/06/2010 - 01:33

I will make sure he is ready for raid and ready to go =)

Will do, I'll be on and ready to roll :)

Shihli — Sat, 02/06/2010 - 14:43

Sounds like Salmon will likely have a position available for you.  From the tone of this app it sounds like you'd be a good fit here, however I'll leave the final verdict to Salmon's officers come Tuesday.

By the way, I updated the UI

Asc2217 — Sun, 01/31/2010 - 20:25

By the way, I updated the UI section with a new screenshot so it shows the most recent version of my UI =P

Good tank

Iteabagyou — Sun, 01/31/2010 - 10:59

Yea Kinetics is a good tank we did very well last night easily dropping most of the bosses we fought. Plus he's a very nice person and i'll happily have him as my tank anyday.

Good guy, he has helped me

Knoppix (not verified) — Fri, 01/29/2010 - 09:48

Good guy, he has helped me out many of times.  He used to be our MT for ICC 10 on my rogue until GRD stole him <cough> and or shadow priest <cough>.


All I have to say is he knows what he is doing and he has my vote.

/hides from Knoppix, didn't

Aidin — Fri, 01/29/2010 - 10:09

/hides from Knoppix, didn't know it was you we stole from, I guess I just assumed it was another guilds 10 man. :( We all know what happens when you assume, had I known, I certainly would have talked to ya first. Forgives me?

No worries aidin they have

Dragon — Fri, 01/29/2010 - 10:36

No worries aidin they have other toons they run their old 10man on. Good peeps too :)

PS Nawpix is a terrible rogue in 10mans :P

Dragon — Fri, 01/29/2010 - 11:17

Bah you know I'm just teasing Nawpix. Besides I heard y'all got a really terrible paladin whose sole purpose is to make you look good.

Damn right! I mean, we neeed

Asc2217 — Fri, 01/29/2010 - 22:21

Damn right! I mean, we neeed you!

 

Besides, I know theres nothing you love more than back to back ICC10s.

Knoppix (not verified) — Fri, 01/29/2010 - 10:19

LOL its fine, glad he has a chance to be in a DF raid, pretty much gives him a chance to prove himself on a regular basis.  Definatly increases the chances of a ginvite for him, so it's all good.

Pffftttt

Badpriestess — Sun, 01/31/2010 - 09:27

Pffft you guys didnt steal me I couldnt resist knoppix's sexyness ... now I finished greasing upto him I can continue ^^. I have ran many (and I mean many) raids with kinetics and agree fully he knows his stuff and now grd have his pally I got to steal a tanking spot in the 10 man we run after GRD on my paladin so am a happy camper =D

<3

Asc2217 — Thu, 01/28/2010 - 01:01

Just a thank you to GRD for giving me a chance to raid with them for the past few weeks.  I'm always happy to fill in no matter what spec you need me as! :)

Stay active!

Great guy.

Joseph (not verified) — Fri, 01/22/2010 - 03:57

Hey there, I have raided with Kinetics on ToGC 10 before, I would like to say he is one of the very few great pally tank I have ever met. He plays his role as a tank in a raid, and beyond. In the ToGC 10 I did with him, he contributed actively to the strategy of the kill orders for FC, planning cooldowns for P3 of Anub, stuffs like that. Got it 49 tries down with him due to a error on the healing part, but nevertheless 49 tries down for a pug ToGC 10 is great. Highly recommended!

Hey!

Asc2217 — Sat, 01/23/2010 - 05:31

Hey man, glad to see you around, hope yo run togc with you again sometime.  Sorry you didn't really get anything from toc 10 today, maybe next week =P

Hello sir or madam, and

Aidin — Tue, 01/19/2010 - 10:02

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 your 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 your 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 gruelling process.  We DO need consistant 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 Zariyah in game, or alt Sainttaryn.

All questions regarding raid invite status for Salmon should be directed Ataraxia.

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


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!

Your UI is an aesthetic

garreth — Mon, 01/18/2010 - 23:44

Your UI is an aesthetic abortion.

I agree, your UI needs work

Knoppix (not verified) — Tue, 01/19/2010 - 00:10

I agree, your UI needs work :P.  We like purdy UI's and tend to let people know if theirs could be better.

Shihli — Tue, 01/19/2010 - 00:04

Good to see a fellow Chem-E here.  I graduated back in 2006 and like you, I'm struggling to find a job.

That said - your UI is an absolute mess.

Dragon's picture

First big thing I noticed on

Dragon — Mon, 01/18/2010 - 22:57

First big thing I noticed on your app is that it dealt primarily with raiding. While we do raid a lot in downfall we see ourselves as a community first and a raiding guild second.

#2 is............ugh we really gotta fix your UI. First things first. GET GRID

My UI

Asc2217 — Tue, 01/19/2010 - 01:28

Okay, so the general consensus I'm getting here is that my UI could use a *bit* of work.  I've grabbed Grid and a few other of the addons in the Raid Addon Pack and i'll try to clean it up a bit then post what I come up with.  I'll get on that right away, thanks for your input thus far

Giving a hand

Badpriestess — Tue, 01/19/2010 - 01:49

I will do my best to try help Kinetics with his UI and getting it sorted even if it means I have to have a few spats with him over this and that, just know I am on it and trying to help him =)
