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!
New Guild Hunter, want to be prepared to Raid
Omnisiah — Sun, 02/28/2010 - 12:59
Hi All, Im still going to focus on Leveling my Death Knight, but I like Downfall alot so Ive made the decision to transfer my 80 Hunter over. Ive had this character for years, he just dinged 80 a couple of months ago though, Ive been a very solo gamer for a long time, right up until the Random Dungeon patch.
He is a little weak on the gear side of things, but I want to get him Raid Ready. Tips and Suggestions?
Here is what he is like now, assuming everything stays intact during Transfer:

if the link doesnt work then the transfer may be in process or complete to the new server.
Thanks all!
New DK player and a Virgin Raider to boot

Hey Hey, Im a new member of the Guild. Ive been playing since Beta, but I've been a hermit solo player right up until they added the Random Dungeon stuff. Now I've got Raid Fever.
Garreth and I went to school together for awhile, so once I got Raid Fever I hopped on his guild bandwagon. I really like the Downfall atmosphere a lot, both here and in WoW.
Im really used to being a Hunter, but I wanted to try my hand at being a Tank DK. I would love to hear any advice people have as I work this toon up to 80. Advice on Power Leveling him, and preparign his Gear and Talents for Raiding. Also, advice on How to play a DK could help a lot too.
This is mostly an announcement post, Ill be looking over these forums and Garreth pointed me in the direction of the Elitist Jerks site, so I will look over that stuff too. Any direct recomendations on talent builds, or other advice, or links to particularly helpful sites, let me know, I play multiple times per week, so Im sure I will see you all around!
Thanks!

***********RAID RULES ADDENDUM READ PLEASE*****************
(for full rules see: /raidgroup/malt)
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.
REMEMBER PEOPLE WHO SIGN UP GET PRIORITY INVITES !!!!!

READ MY RAID DESCRIPTION AND LOOT RULES BEFORE COMING TO MY RAID!!!!
I'd like to see more guild action in this group, last time, we had to pug over 1/2 the raid, which in all honesty wasn't that bad, we still ran it over like a mac truck. But it really screws some of the loot options for us.
Rule changes if we end up needing to pug more then a few bodies:
1. Main Spec over Off Spec (alts irrelevant)
2. Downfall reserves rights to ALL trinket drops, all other loot free roll.
SPREAD THE WORD LET'S FILL WITH DOWNIES!!
SUNDAY 2/7/10 1:00 SERVER TIME
THIS IS A MALT 25 MAN TOC RAID!!!!!!
2/3/10
So I just realized that I scheduled this for Super Bowl Sunday....
I'm not hunting pugs...if we can fill with guild we'll go, if not I'll reschedule for next Sunday instead.
PLEASE READ THIS RAID'S LOOT RULES AND DESCRIPTION BEFORE YOU SIGN UP!!!!!!!
We will be doing Regular ToC this week. ToGC will come down the line when we see how we do. I will only run these if I have AT LEAST 15 sign ups. If we can not fill with guild, I will be grabbing pugs, but will not do so without an essential core to not kill us all.
