mALT
For those of you who are new to the guild in Wrath, let me introduce you to raid mALT. I formed mALT for the sole purpose of getting phat loots for those evil evil alts, and give us raiders a chance to do progression content (albeit behind) under a different role then the first time around.
All of a sudden melee raiders were healing, healers were killin stuff, and people really started to relate to other class roles. Raid : ALT developed into raid mALT when we began having quite a few of the raiding mains come along for sheer fun. We then decided for the good of the guild we would crusade to put a [28830] on every main raider who needed it before we put it on an alt. Mage tanking in Gruul's lair was probably one of the coolest things I ever got to do in wow...and it was on an alt. ;)
We're now using mAlt as a tryout platform for new applicants as well. Every mAlt run will open up at least 3 slots for guild applicants (first to sign up, gets first dibs on one of the 3 slots), if we have room, we'll take more. We will parse these events to take a look at your raid performance. This is you Downfall tryout raid.
Many of you have run with us and know that we have very few rules, but we do have some...and here they are:
1. Be geared enough for the content. Don't come in all greens and blues guys...hit the heroics first, put some meat in your gear. If we need to fill raid, and greens & blues are the only option that's fine, but we will fill first with those with the gear to support their weight. We may be alts, but we don't like repair bills.
2. Know your strats. I will do some strat before bosses, as people do things different in other raids, but we will be doing things MY way when we run. I understand people have different ways of doing things (gauntlet WTF Ryan?????) I promise I know what I'm doing.
3. Sign up and be on time. When events are scheduled, I run a confirmed list up until the day of the raid. Raid will be filled first on Class balance, then sign ups. Raid times will be determined on a raid by raid basis.
4. You want it, you roll for it. I'll probably run master looter and we'll roll off for the first few weeks, but basically everything is a free for all. We don't care what spec you are now or were yesterday, if your a main or an alt. Simple and easy, drama free.
5. HAVE FUN. I stop doing these the minute it stops being fun. No QQs cause you didn't get in this week, no QQs over loot, and make sure to check the bad attitude at the instance door.
This raid is open to guildies and guild apps alike, so sign up and let's kill some shit!
Heroic Highmaul run.
Going to do loot a lil differently this week. Instead of mains over alts it will be raiders over everything. So if you are a member or Galaga, JAMM, or F-RNG you will get loot priority for your raiding toon main spec. Everyone lse will / roll for whats not needed by raiders. alts and mains will be even for non raiders or offspec.
Resurecting the mALT raid name to help keep confusion down for what these runs are.
This friday we will be running Highmaul Heroic. we will need as many of the reg raiders from each of the 3 raids that can attend to do so. Alts are welcome IF you have the gear set to be there. This is not a carry run, This is an opertunity for newer members of the raids to plug some holes in their gear.
As is the case with all raids that I run, Loot will go to mains over alts for mainspec rolls.
If the intrest is there then maybe we can do a normal carry run on saturday. (yes i know it;s vday)
Walkingzippo UI (Using ElvUI)
Dragon — Tue, 01/29/2013 - 01:48
Leighann asked me to post some screenshot of my mages UI so here are some that I've taken in the last few days .
This first one came in LFR I think on Sunday.
This is from the same LFR just a little while after. Glad I took a second shot since my cast bar was missing in the first one.
Here is the last one I took in raid tonight while I'm not in combat (complete with 2 elementals)
The mods that I'm currently using are as follows:
ElvUI (Unit Frames, Raid Frames, LibData Info, Threat meter (lower right hand corner of the first 2 screenshots, action bars and buff/debuff timers)
WIM
DBM
Skada (Just for damage)
Quartz (For my personal cast bar)
MageNuggets (Just for easy of portaling)
Parrot (For my damage text, I'm considering going back to the Blizzard built in one as ElvUI will modify the text of that as well if you set it up to).
If people want more shots, I'll try to provide more if requested over the next few days.

ALL TRINKETS WILL BE RESERVED FOR MAIN RAIDING TOONS MAIN RAID SPEC
If no main raider, main spec rolls, then a main raider off spec roll will occur.
If no main raiding off spec needs it then it is free roll for alts and mains alike.
I will be doing these WEEKLY for a short period of time to help put some trinkets in KB and Salmon. I hope this gives you mains some incentive to come lend a hand so we don't have to keep pugging.
I spent quite some time picking a good time, and there's not a lot of wiggle room on the raid schedule so we'll start invites at 12:30 server time on Sundays...I'd like to be pulling Beasts at 1:00.

Vent is killing me
Omnisiah — Sun, 03/21/2010 - 14:22
So two issues, and I would appreciate help on both.
First, when I have Vent and WoW going my FPS drops sick amounts, barely playable. At times its worked way better than others, I thought I had to working right but when I went into my first Raid it went crazy. Ive been running through the Vent Forums, Ive played with things like the NetworkThrottlingIndex in the registry, and changing the priority of Vent in Tast Manager.
Second, when i downloaded Vent I followed the Guide on our site to get it all set up, but I still sounds like crap. I will be running out and getting headset soon, but I think the problem is bigger than that.
Here is a pic of my main settings screen in case you see anything off. Let me know if you have any ideas on how to fix these problems, I like to talk quite a bit, so lets get this sorted! lol
Progress & Questions
Omnisiah — Sun, 03/21/2010 - 00:34
Ok, I've bumped up my gear considerably. Sockets are all filled and things are mostly enchanted. Here is a link to my Character, let me know what more I can do before I start raiding.
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Gorgonnash&cn=Odinstein
Now, My hit rating is a little high at the moment, some gear bumped it up pretty high, so Ill probably put +20 Agi gems in place of the +10 Agi, +10 Hit gems that I have in some of the gear.
There are a couple of enchants that I have a couple of questions on.
What is better for my Legs:
Frosthide Leg Armor (+55 Sta, +22 Agi)
or
Icescale Leg Armor (+75 AttPow, +22 Crit)
What is better for 1H Weapons:
Enchant Weapon - Superior Potency (+65 AttPow)
or
Enchant Weapon - Exceptional Agility (+26 Agi)
Now, I also have some questions on some abilities I rarely or never use while soloing. Ive heard one of them mentioned on other sites like The Hunter's Union, but not much.
1. Feign Death. I heard mention of its use in Raids to drop your threat level if you think you are going to Pull aggro. But not really much info about how to use it Properly
2. Viper Sting
3. Tranq Shot
4. Scorpid Sting
5. Disengage
Now, to switch over to more general things. I did install the Guild AddOns, but I have no idea how any of them are used. Do we have any guides or should I just rely on the information the AddOn creators have out there?
Also, I still haven't been on a Raid, I signed up for Tomorrow's Malt Raid, but I don't know exactly how the organization works for getting in, do you just show up online at the right time and someone has a list? Am I actually ready or close enough to being ready?
Thanks for all the help so far.
Anyone else play Warhammer Online
Dragon — Thu, 03/18/2010 - 14:09
I'm thinking of restarting my Warhammer online account but it is definitely a game that requires some friends to play with in order to fully enjoy. I was wondering if anyone in guild played Order on WAR and if so what server so I can join you when I wanna play a game but not wow.
