Raiding

What talent build do you use to raid?:

My current armory link has my "PvE" build. 41/20/0. http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=cEb00xxRquVoVVbRV I utilize alot of pet damage and focus regen because-as any veteran DownFall raider can tell you- I play this game for my pet.

Tell us a little about how your class contributes to a raid.:

What the Hunter class contributes to a raid depends entirely upon which tree he/she specs into. As a BeastMastery hunter, I may not contribute as many buffs as a Marksman or Survival build, but I can be very useful in a pinch. Angus (my wolf) is the stuff of legend on 3 servers (I also have a level 70 Orc Hunter) due to how many times he has been utilized when things turned south. For example, my pet has off tanked mobs on many occasions when croud control was lacking, or an offtank had died. He has also maintanked bosses for short periods of time when they were nearly defeated and the main tank had unfortunately died. When my pet crits, all members of my party get a 3% damage increase, and when raidbuffed, that damage increase is nearly always up. In addition to that, I have perfected the art of keeping a mob trapped. Granted the trap does not resist, I can keep a mob trapped nearly all day long. Currently using PvP gear, I have the health of a beginning Karazhan tank (raid buffed, usually 13k+) and thus can take a few hits if someone breaks my trap.

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?:

If I had to wait 3 years to start seriously raiding again... it would be too soon! I like raiding in small groups (10-mans that are pretty laid back) but have been known to step in when needed in 25-mans.

List the instances you have experience in, and the farthest you have been in that instance.:

Molten Core- Cleared Blackwing Lair- Cleared Zul Gurub- Cleared Ahn Qiraj 20man- Cleared Ahn Qiraj 40man- Cleared Naxxaramas- (however far Downfall got before the expansion?) All Burning Crusade instances- Cleared Karazhan- Cleared Gruul's Lair- Cleared Zul Aman- Cleared Tempest Keep/Serpent Shrine Cavern (it's been a long, long while. I want to say we got about halfway through each)

What is your favorite 25-man BC Boss encounter, and why?:

I genuinely hate 25-man boss battles because they have a tendency to murdalize my pet. None of the Burning Crusade instance bosses stand out in my mind either. My favorite 5-man boss battle is the temple fight in Zul Farrak because it feels like you're in some kind of crazy-movie situation and you're up against impossible odds that you have to John Rambo your way out of. Even though it's not that hard, it FEELS epic!

What is your least favorite 25-man BC Boss encounter, and why?:

My least favorite 25-man boss is LootReaver (VoidReaver) because I have to constantly pull/send my pet in/away from the cocksucker and his AoE.

General Questions

List your pertinent alts, as well as their classes and levels:

Wolfpup- level 70 Orc Hunter (Stormreaver) Sneakyblade- level 70 Gnome Rogue (Gorgonnash) Ironwolf- level 63 Dwarf Warrior (Gorgonnash)

Is this app for your main alone, or would you like to bring alts over as well?:

Main only

Why should we recruit you?:

I have known/Raided with Downfall members since Old Guard Raid 2. Back then Downfall didn't even exist. It was a small guild by the name of The Forsaken Order that had been absorbed into a raid put together because Old Guard was a growing guild. I can pump out around 900-1300 DPS depending on group makeup in my PvP gear. I don't have any screenshots currently, but I'll get some for you the next time I attend a raid. I have/can never be called a lootwhore. PvE gear especially just is not that important to me. For example: taking both my hunters through Karazhan, I passed on everything but the Wolfslayer Sniper Rifle. When I did this on my dwarf Hunter, Karazhan gear was the best you could get as guilds were only just then starting Gruul's and Magtheridon's Lair. I PvP for my gear mostly and only ask for a good ranged weapon out of a raid.

Why have you chosen to apply to Downfall?:

Since returning from Stormreaver, half of my friends are gone to other games/real life, the other half have been absorbed by Downfall. Also, Garreth has always been warm and friendly - if also objective and brutally honest - with me.

What do you expect to get out of Downfall membership?:

What I crave most is.....er, well companionship. I like to have lots of people to bullshit with. Second from that, I want some PvP buddies as all of mine are gone or members of Downfall currently. And... you know... I wouldn't complain if you guys threw in a Tuskbreaker as a housewarming gift ;)

How do you feel you will contribute to the downfall community?:

I have leveled two hunters to 70, raided on both, have over 24k lifetime kills on both. I may get arguments from this statement, but I like to consider myself the PvP counterpart to Shihli... just less theorycraft and more hands on experience. That being said, I like to think that I have alot of insight to the hunter class. I also have the ability to interview other hunters and give them a spec perfectly and personally tailored to the way they like to play (haven't had any dissatisfied customers yet.)

Do you have any references in Downfall?:

Dikymo, Garreth, Closer, Rogured, Kognus, Watchesup, Shihli, Nuitarin, Vossa, Darkspeed, Delirium, Ora, Josalin, and Kleinejaeger.

How long do you intend to stay in Downfall?:

I don't particularly see any reason to leave as I am not concerned with PvE loot advancement.

What things might cause you to leave?:

Somebody being an outright dick to me.

If you are applying to raid, which nights can you raid?:

Monday

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

Friday

Saturday

Sunday

Are you going to burn out?:

Anything else you would like to add?:

DWARFPWR!

What timezone are you in?:

Western Pacific

How often do you think you would have to miss raid?:

If I was to start raiding, I make a commitment. That being said, I would only need to miss raid for a real life emergency, or important real life social gathering.... or the AC/DC tour... yeah I would sell my soul to see them.

What might the typical reasons for missing raid be?:

Family member dies, girlfriend get's into a car accident, friend gets married or dumped, very close friend's birthday, I die, my net dies, my computer dies.

Read everything here: http://www.downfallguild.org/loot Does that seem fair?:

Point me toward the handcannons please.

If Shihli tells a joke (good or bad), will you laugh?:

Your ass, or a hole in the ground?:

A hole in the ground

How do you feel about mods, particularly in a raid setting?:

I'm a mod whore, and 3.5Gb of ram leaves plenty of room for more.

Are you willing to change mods that don't interface well with ours in raid?:

Yes

Personal

How long have you been playing WoW?:

I have been playing World of Warcraft since release.

How old are you?:

Tell us about yourself.:

Random Things about me: I am obsessed with AC/DC... as you can see from the pic, it is tattooed from shoulderblade to shoulderblade. I am also quite fond of wolves as you might have guessed. I am very passionate about things like Politics, War, Music, and Art. I build my own computers. I like to consider myself a bit of an artist. Some of my work can be found here (take a look at my gallery): http://wolfpup11.deviantart.com/

Are you in school or working?:

I am currently inbetween jobs, but I intend to do engage in the latter at first and then dabble in the former when I have some money.

What Country/State do you live in?:

Reno, NV

Any other significant hobbies?:

Art, building computers/playing with electronics in general, debating politics, hanging out with friends... the rest may be innapropriate to list here (but I'll probably never stop getting shit for what I was doing during that Ragnaros fight)

Just checking up on ya, Wolf.

I'm BACK back. And, even if I didn't want to be, the expansion is coming soon, and if I didn't level to 80 with Pyxie on her druid... I don't want know how long it would be until I got laid.

Are you BACK back? I'm all for ginviting old friends. But, we've invited a few "HAI GUYZ I'M BACK IN WOW!" people who came in and just... disappeared. They're not contributing anything to the community, though they are our friends.

Are you BACK back?

Wolfie — Sat, 10/11/2008 - 12:25

Wait, did I say meth lab? I meant.... umm terrorist attack. Yeah, that's it. Those bastards!

Dikymo stings with the truth.

Sorry wolf, you'll have to

Dikymo — Tue, 10/07/2008 - 06:00

Sorry wolf, you'll have to change your name to Awolfhax and act like a fucking idiot to have any chance of getting in guild.

Hope to see you in green chat soon my friend.

Wolf is a great guy. I

Roguered — Mon, 10/06/2008 - 20:45

Wolf is a great guy. I raided with him back in Vexed and he is always great to talk with and just chill with. He does have his horde characters but he had his reasons for not playing on this server for a while and trust me they were very valid reasons. I think he'll be a great fit in DF.

Yeah, I was in TKO raiding

Ewiges — Mon, 10/06/2008 - 13:43

Yeah, I was in TKO raiding and your name did grab my attention for some reason. Thanks for the response.

Pros: AC/DC fan, filled out

Ewiges — Mon, 10/06/2008 - 12:48

Pros: AC/DC fan, filled out app correctly.

Cons: His time /played struck me off a bit. If you've been playing since release, even casually you should have more days than that.

So I have to ask, have you been know as other names and which names are those. Normally I don't go through apps unless someone points me toward specific ones, but the name for some reason caught my eye, so that might be good or bad.

Well as I have stated above,

Wolfie — Mon, 10/06/2008 - 12:59

Well as I have stated above, I DO have another lvl 70 hunter with even better gear than my Dwarf. So, I stopped playing my alliance toons for about a year. I also have a lvl 70 rogue, 63 warrior and many, many alts. Ewidges, you may not remember because it was years ago, but I do believe we raided together for a bit back in the old TKO days.

Aw, wolfie, I still miss our old kz days. Sorta. As long as we could have done them with Rbry and Spartcus.

But yah, I mean this guy put hours into the kz run, and wasn't even looking for gear. He was always on his straps and pulls.(He never afk autoshotted to go have sex on us).
