Previous Guilds (why did you leave?):
before landing on US-Alliance Drenden, i was on Cenarion Circle server, for first 2 years on WoW, then xfered over to Drenden due to few friends who plays there, now am looking to xfer to Dunemaul, after discovering a 90% Deaf Guild.

Deadly Before Dawn: left to the action of the Guildmaster, Purchasing a Lich King Kill so the guild can go right into ICC hardmode, plus Loot Greeds.

(currently) The Black Company, the GM is not giving my toons a chance in Raids, mainly been backups for a while. hitting bosses here and there... gave up on my Hpally, got bit more chances on my Mages still a backup as of... 2.16.2012

Do you know any current UT members that would vouche for you?:
Daniel... AKA Proelìator
maybe timro.... heh (after our discussion on heals)

Availability (7:30 to 10:30 pm server time. Tues/Thurs), can you make all of these days and times?
means.... 10:30p to 1:30AM EST. sure i can :-) if needed in other raiding groups i can do their times as well.

myself i work in Theatre at Gallaudet University, so there will be times where i wont be able to raid due to Rentals/Productions happening at my work, of course i will let the officers know ahead of time that i wont be able to.


Post a speed test with www.speedtest.net/ . Use the Los Angeles data center and use the forum URL options available on the test site to post your results.



Why Unrivaled Titans?:
bit annoyed by the requirements of needing a vent... but other than that, would like to be among peers that ACTUALLY TYPE in chat instead of going to vent....

also I plan to xfer the listed toons above to Dunemaul ANYWAY regardless of the app here. :-)


If you arena what is your average arena rating?
i dont do Arena but willing to learn if its fun... :-D

How do you prepare for a new encounter? What online resources do you use besides Tankspot to prep yourself for raid night?
oh boy...
www.tankspot.com of course...
us.battle.net/wow/en/ (mainly for loots)
www.warcraftmovies.com/
us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/?sid=1 ( i like to read different sections to get what certain fight feels like from a player point of views)
www.tentonhammer.com/wow ( i enjoy reading information there about next patch, Expacs)
elitistjerks.com/
wow.joystiq.com/
www.askmrrobot.com/ (mainly to prepare my rolls for loots, enchants, and Gems)


Link your most recent logs showing your DPS/HPS on a few fights?
www.worldoflogs.com/reports/je0rbq5q9new9vnz/sum/damageDone/

as mentioned above, the GM does not give me chances on my Hpally, only on my arcane Mage.

What mods do you use? Why do you use these mods?
heh.... for the looks.. i use LUI.

into specifications...

Skadas for Dmg/Heals and more
Deadly Boss Mode: to see what moves/spells/shouts is coming next to prepare myself for locations, defenses, offenes.
Grid-Clique (mainly on my H-pally but use it on all of my toons, decursing,dispelling, healing, rezzing, etc)
Bartender for bar/button management.
and many more small function/appearances.
Raven for placements of spells, buffs, debuffs, etc..


What do you do to prevent yourself from dying to mechanics like Void Zones, Brain Links, or Legion Flame? And take this question very seriously. "LOL I DUNNO I MOVE OUT OF THEM" is not an answer.
i Watch DBM closly during a event where i know there will be a random swirls of colors appears (for example during Blackhorn fights) and pay attentions to Raid Warnings, and my focus is primiary on the placements of the players and the actions of the bosses/trashes.


Post a picture of your UI (even better, post a pic of your UI with recount showing your DPS/Heal meter). Give us a brief explanation of your UI, do you set up your UI so that it makes it easier for you to notice encounter debuffs, or void zones, or fire?



this is on my mage..


Shoot me any questions, anyone? :-)

[proeliator]

Hmm, Welcome to UT forum. As I was looking on your application. It is nice to see your 2 toons, Palidan and Mage. IF u are planning to take ds 25 raid spot. Which toon are you feeling the most? I look at ur pally. It is Long way goes to get him gear up and par level wise with our progression raid team. I believe our raid team 390+ ilvl. As for your mage seem to be good fit. Are you really up for going Full time as Fire mage in DS content like HM yor'ashj? I would love to hear your comment and feedback. I do know you have questions that you want to ask us. =D

[jfisher]

amiszilla- yeah hard to miss you heh.

Hello drinapachi, i assume it will take me around 5-7 weeks to get my Holy Paladin up to par. i am willing to use my Hpally on other raid groups for gearing up. (for VP gears/some from FL/couple from norm DS/ LFR)

i Feel the most for 25m DS. at this point, till my Hpally is up to par, my mage would be the ideal choice, however once my Hpally is up, i would leave it to the Raid Leader(s) to choose which toon would be the best for the raid that night, depending on the fight that UT is planning on. i am willing to go on either toons (Hpally or Mage<either Fire or arcane>

for that difficult fight out of all bosses in DS (you had to pick that one?). Fire mage on that fight would be the best since can hit many targets for good DPS AOE. especially with Living bomb <with Glyph of Living Bomb> for that fight. Also that fight is literally a DPS race, so the need for a caster with ability to cast DoT on several mobs is vital.


most of my questions about healing has been answered by Timoro via in-game chat couple of nights ago.

but for raiding in general...

what kind of dkp/points/whatever system you use for rewarding loots?

how do you, Raid leaders, decide who to come to per raids? base upon what? (performances, gears, time, and so on?)

how often do you, UT, create a NON-raiding event? (Achivement runs, games, or even just for the hell of it...)

how often do you spend time explaining strats in-game prior to the boss fights? (10-15min? this is the usual time i see on current raid if i attend with THE BLACK COMPANY) (hopefully not... i am sure everyone knows their shits.)

how would you deal with lootninja, whiners, bitches, troublemakers, and so on...?

(more questions coming soon... keep getting bothered at work...)

[amiszilla]

Yes... I am curious about those excellent questions as well.

Regarding Loot Ninja: I noticed that the GM ninja'd a mount. I believe that paying 5k each raid member is not enough; i think he should show a trustworthy move and pass along the loot master role to one of officers. just a thought. he can keep on raidleading but i feel it'd mean a lot if he gave the loot master responsibility to a trusted officier.

[drinapachi]

Ok, I am glad that you brought up. As for Ninja Looted. There was an issue but to me that was Minor, some other players felt it was wrong. It ok. I moved on keep it in mind it is to game to me. For other it might feel more then a game. That is understandable.

As for whiner, bitch or complainer. There will be moment like that, they are LC and who win or need. For example, in current raid content. I rolled and Won tanking ring. Then a trinket tank drop, I rolled and My OT rolled. OT will win over me, cuz I won roll before, as suicide King rule's. However, LC can determined to agree or not to go to MT or OT. As for gearing 2 pc, 3 pc, 4 pc, That go to LC to see who need it the most. We able to be fair and get this going. Worst case extreme complaining, will warn you first strike, and 2nd strike with Timeout statue, on 3rd strike consider remove from guild. You can pst or pm to any of officers.

As for OFF NITE, I do wanna do some ach run. I personally do, That we need to have agreeable schedule so where everyone can do and gear up. Example I want my hunter in Ulduar 25 cuz I think t8 look F*CKIN great on hunter. IMO Other who want mount from ULD. Or legendary weapon.

[amiszilla]

hmm interesting. a mix of LC and /roll.

i HIGHLY recommend Swaps addon loot system. only the loot master needs to have the addon, not everyone. it's a point based bidding. people earn points by being on time, boss kills, etc. they use it for upgrades. it's also very flexible, we can set up a minimum bid, set up only roll for MS/OS, or class-wide. in my guild we do class-wide to prevent point hoarding, the excitement of bids adds extra fun to the raid imo.

[drinapachi]

We did have loot pts system before the 25 men was merge. We had egep system. It was good run by from what I heard and feeling from other. Dislike the idea. So. Not everyone is agreeable. That an solid idea on Swapon addon, that will have to go to LC and RL to determined that.

[jfisher]

Swaps addon is a good and easy thing to do. just need one person like amis said. makes things much easier... but sadly... need that certain person to be able to attend EVERY raid.... heh.

Loots is the usual curplit to lot of the raiding guilds out there (not just warcraft. :-) )

other one... how do you handle so many raiding groups? if one want to do several raid groups on certain toons...

for example.. (theory here...):
Hpally on 25m HM
Mage on 25m norm
warrior on 25m School raid group (forgot the name you got...)
and so on.

do each raid group you have, have separate pointing system?
do that carry over to other raiding group or it sticks to one toon per point system or to one raid only.?

[amiszilla]

no you dont have to go to every raid. if you dont show to a raid you lose your opportunity to build up your points because you'll be getting none.

[jfisher]

no no that question is not directed to Swaps.. but to the current system that UT have at the moment. regardless of the points or not.

[amiszilla]

hmm i'm still confused
you say that with the UT's system raiders would have to attend to every raid? how come?

[jfisher]

no, sorry not clear, but what i mean is. is it possible for one person to join more than 1 raiding Team that UT have for different toons? if it is possible then how would UT handles the points system? (even they use LC, in case they decided to switch to a points system)

just wondering here

[drinapachi]

In past we had 3 or 4 team of 10 DS. Nemesis was running on some kind of DKP but we are no longer on that DKP cuz of 10 men turn into 25.
