Warlock

lvl 70
Total play time at level 80: 
58 days 16 hours
Total play time: 
93 days 19 hours
Average play time per week: 
20 hours+
Good computer/internet connection?: 
Yes
What is your average latency?: 
100-200 ms
Server you are currently on: 
Gorgonnash
How long have you been on the above server?: 
Since around two months prior to the release of The Burning Crusade.
Raiding
What talent build do you use to raid?: 
Demonic sacrifice/Destruction
Tell us a little about how your class contributes to a raid.: 
dps, healthstones, imp for stamina when needed, curses in some situations (tongues/weakness/recklessness).
What role are you most comfortable/geared playing?: 
DPS
Would it be a problem if you had to wait 3 weeks or 3 months to get into raid?: 
That wouldn't be a problem at all as I currently raid a full schedule every week clearing BT on my priest, I just need a group of people to hang out with and step in to dps for raids when I can be fit in.
List the instances you have experience in, and the farthest you have been in that instance.: 
All pre-BC on Soulcel- Molten core clear, BWL clear, AQ20 clear/40 up to twin emperors, Naxx just past razuvius. Soulcel and my priest (Caliendra)- TK clear, SSC clear, Hyjal clear, for BT working on Illidan on my priest at the moment, but as for my lock in my last guild we were up to him as well.
What is your favorite 25-man BC Boss encounter, and why?: 
Twin emperors in AQ40, mainly because of all the chaos going around with exploding bugs everywhere, and tank rotations. Mmmmm Warlock tanking.
What is your least favorite 25-man BC Boss encounter, and why?: 
The bug family in AQ40 because I couldn't think of a worse boss to choose after 10 min of thinking, since the loot table was different depending on who died last which made it difficult for someone to get something off them that they needed.
General Questions
List your pertinent alts, as well as their classes and levels: 
Shadowcel- 70 rogue KZ/badge gear Caliendra- 70 priest BT/hyjal/ZA gear
Is this app for your main alone, or would you like to bring alts over as well?: 
I'd like to bring some alts over too
Why should we recruit you?: 
First of all my girlfriend is currently in the guild (Afton) but on another note I have a lot of experience raiding as far as participating in all of the BC encounters save for Sunwell, and also I have a good deal of experience leading raids (mostly 10 mans but a few 25 mans in there) so I intend to have regular 10 mans put together that people could join.
Why have you chosen to apply to Downfall?: 
Mostly to have a crowd to hang with and to be with my girlfriend, but also to gear up my rogue and possibly see some Sunwell content before WoTLK.
What do you expect to get out of Downfall membership?: 
A fun atmosphere to raid in and hopefully to make new friends since my long-time guild on gorgonnash is now dead (mayhem).
How do you feel you will contribute to the downfall community?: 
By sharing knowledge about the game and encounters that others could learn from, and by being another laid back friendly person for people to hang out/quest/raid with.
Do you have any references in Downfall?: 
Afton, Youshouldrun, Orky to name a few.
How long do you intend to stay in Downfall?: 
As long as I play the game or as long as my friends/gf stay in the guild.
What things might cause you to leave?: 
Someone continuously talking crap on my gf or friends, really thats the only thing that comes to mind.
If you are applying to raid, which nights can you raid?: 
Wednesday
Thursday
Saturday
Are you going to burn out?: 
No
Anything else you would like to add?: 
Some nights I said I am available to raid with might change when school starts in september since I don't know my schedule yet.
What timezone are you in?: 
Western U.S./Server Time.
How often do you think you would have to miss raid?: 
Depends on if I have work/school on certain days so I can't really estimate until I have those schedules.
What might the typical reasons for missing raid be?: 
School/work.
Read everything here: http://www.downfallguild.org/loot Does that seem fair?: 
Yes.
If Shihli tells a joke (good or bad), will you laugh?: 
Yes
Your ass, or a hole in the ground?: 
A hole in the ground
UI
How do you feel about mods, particularly in a raid setting?: 
I do not use a ton of mods, only ones needed for boss encounters.
Are you willing to change mods that don't interface well with ours in raid?: 
Yes
Personal
How long have you been playing WoW?: 
Since november of 2004
How old are you?: 
21
Tell us about yourself.: 
My name is Kevin and I am a lifeguard and play/record/edit music.

shadowcel — Sat, 08/16/2008 - 14:42

I downloaded bartender and this is how I have it set up at the moment. It seems a bit more organized and condensed and should be easier to raid with. Check it out my UI screenshot and let me know what you think.

shadowcel — Fri, 08/15/2008 - 19:37

Actually I had barmods last year that would always freeze up at the most inconvenient of times so I just ditched that. I'm sure there are more reliable ones to use though, anyone have suggestions?

 I tried redoing my UI once. Then there were all these errors that kept popping up. So, I trashed it all and said "eff that."

I'll look into changing the UI I have been using the stock one since I started playing.

Aftonio — Fri, 08/15/2008 - 11:04

 PS: I don't really think his UI should be that big of a deal if he's not going to be raiding full time with us. As long as her has the required mods and supplies he should be fine.

It's more cause there's a lot of UI nerds here that'll jump at the chance of improving anyone's UI with suggestion regardless of their status!  lol

Fubar is also your friend and will eliminate alot of the buttons on your minimap.

Thanks to those that

shadowcel — Tue, 08/12/2008 - 10:46

Thanks to those that supported my application and to those that viewed it. Again I am really just looking for a home and to make friends, as well as being able to hang with my girlfriend. I am not looking for a set raid spot but will help out when needed as I have done all the fights that I would possibly be helping on. If there are any additional questions anyone has don't hesitate to post comments or message me in game on either soulcel/shadowcel/machoburito/tolanis. Thanks again for considering my application.

Excuse me while I copy paste

Aidin — Mon, 08/11/2008 - 22:25

Excuse me while I copy paste my trusty app reply :)

Thank you for your application to Downfall. We are currently recruiting warlocks for our 25 man MH/BT/SW raids. However, the competition is fierce.

Downfall is a community first and foremost and a successful raiding guild second. First you need to ask yourself what it is you want from Downfall. If it's a spot in end game raid, and nothing more...then you may want to seek entry into another one of the many guilds on Gorgonnash.

If you desire a strong sense of community then get ready to work for it! When we talk about community, we aren't talking about the type of community that jumps when you say OMGRUNMYALTTHRUVC!!!! We're talking about a group for people who love this game we pour our lives into, people who will run things with you when they have time, people who may have their own special way of contributing to the community.

Now that you have applied (and if my wall of text didn't lose u 2 paragraphs ago), don't just sit there and hope someone will come hunt you down and say "HERE'S YOUR INVITE!!" because that simply will not happen. Those who gain entry into Downfall work for it. Members have waited upwards of 3 months or more to be part of our community. How do you ensure that you have every option to be the next addition?

Here's an idea:

  • Stay active on this thread, it's your application. You will receive feedback and recommendations. Don't take anything personal, if you can't take constructive criticism, you will never make it in guild chat. Applications are open to the entire community, not just officers, so if you were a douche to a member in the past, be ready for it to bite you in the ass.
  • If given goals to meet, make them.
  • Sign up for events you can make and which you are geared for. No need to sign up for MH/BT/SW, as those aren't testing grounds for new members. Focus on the Sunday Gruul/Mag run by yours truly or the Saturday SSC/TK run by Grasen.
  • If you sign up...show up. No one likes an app who signs up for all raids and never shows. Be sure to send a tell to the raid leader so he/she knows you are available and ready to rock.
  • Download the raid pack. DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT show up to a Gruul/Mag or SSC/TK without our required add ons. If you do not understand what you are looking at, then research it. If you still don't understand, post you're question and someone will help you. (If you think only bad players use mods, we can say our goodbyes right now)
  • Do everything you can to get your name out there, and show why you should be part of our community. Run 5 mans, Run 10 mans, participate in forum discussions.

If and when you are accepted into Downfall, you are strictly on a trial basis. If we invite you because you convinced us you were the worlds greatest healer/tank/random dps class, and you looooooooooove to run 5 mans...but you never run a thing, you never sign up for fun runs, and you burn out and don't sign on for 1+ months, don't be surprised if you find yourself guildless on log in one day.

It's very simple, don't say what we want to hear just to get in, because it will haunt you in the end. Be honest, and we will be fair.

With that said....GOOD LUCK ON YOUR APPLICATION!

 We should be friends.

Like right now. This very second.
