As you can see, I have a lot of classes to offer.
A few things... I've just been through two depressing guild break-ups. Two close friends (guild leaders) announced they were getting married and having another kid (together this time) but said they would play for a while longer and leave us with a proper infrastructure. Then suddenly they just abandoned us... deciding to quit cold turkey then and there. We kept trying hard to rebuild, but the new leadership fell apart, and finally collapsed in on itself.
That was with my Fury as my main, and later I assumed the role of MT Defiler.
So I looked for a new guild... Had an offer from two guilds in VP one wanted my defiler, and one my dirge. I decided to change servers to befallen and join Reborn with my dirge.
Got my OK and VS flag, then my levi flagged - timed it so when I switched over those would be the first raid zones hit. We were stuck on Druushk and Nexona. Though we were making headway, and the biggest problem was a lot of new folk (they had just undergone a rebuilding phase). Anyway, I thought things were going along pretty fine, but we were having some trouble with important key people missing alot of the raids, and it was looking like we'd have to recruit again and with AoC coming out too, our leader decided to end it rather than have us become a guild who couldn't kill t1 anymore.
Sooo... like probably everyone I will be spending some of my eq2 play time playing AoC... however I still wish to raid end game content here in eq2.
And why am I telling you all this? Well, generally it's stuff you'd want o know in an applicant. Also - the biggest thing is I know I need to go through an app period, which will probably mean paying 50 bucks to switch servers for the characte you want.
I don't want to pass the recruit period, think everything is pretty solid, and spend 400$ more switching my other alts and my crafting alts just to have the guild collapse or break apart a week later.
I'm looking for a guild that is successfuly at least working through VP, if not cleared. Although most of my characters need to be flagged * I'm a quality player who can give 95% + attendance and 100% attention during raids. My other criteria are:
1. that I don't want to be in a guild that over recruits so that they guarantee a full raid each night, but half the folks who are on time and ready to go have to sit it out.
2. I prefer a DKP based guild over leader assigned loot. "PREFER" i'll consider a guild that uses a different loot assignment type if it's fair.
2b. I prefer open DKP bidding, but closed bidding is fine if the person in charge of taking the tells is fair and honest.
3. Most important! Please only contact me if you have a solid force that is going to continue to raid post the AoC launch, and are not planning to get mired in constant rebuilding.
I'm going to apply to certain guilds directly, but I figured this was the best way to put out all I can offer and maybe the perfect home will find me rather than the other way around.
----------------------------------------------------------
So, about my characters:
IMHO my best character is my Fury. I think I pretty much kick ass as a Fury, while she has no gear found in SoH or past t2, she has a full set of pure DPS gear, pure heal gear, and regen gear, and I know how to mix and match for the set circumstances. I've solo healed every group instance in the game as my fury, and with no mythical, in mixed gear on a raid I generally hit 2k-3.5k on the parse depending on how much I have to heal. Fury has multiple masters, DPS spells are all M1 or M2 (including call of karana and ball lightning). Stifle/deaggro i M1, death prevention is M1, Single Target, and group HOT's are both M1. I still need my three direct heals and hibernate. 138 AAs. Has epic, needs all kills for mythical.
I love playing this character, but I know Furies are a dime a dozen - I believe I am a really good Fury however, and not one of those FOTM furies that PLed up and can't heal or DPS, or can only do one or the other.
Unfortunately this character will need to be flagged.
* Note: This goes for all my characters except my dirge who is vp flagged.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Dirge - My dirge has 140 AAs and is VP flagged with multiple masters including chimes of blades, clara's (major mit debuff), vile blade (dps CA) shriek blade is m2 dps ca and dps debuff, siphon blade (dps CA) Dead calm (procs on attack), Athletic strain (Str/agi) buff
Needs a few kills for his epic, I haven't pushed it, but can complete it in probably like 3 hours with some help on two kills.
I was specced for DPS before joining Reborn, choosing 4, 4, 4,8 in agi for poisons. Though i'd go int too depending on what you want for more group DPS. (and of course I have fortissmo maxxed and DKTM with allegro maxxed.)
I'm of the opinion and most of the bards i've talked to feel the same way, that bladedance doesn't really have much benefit. Generally you have to deal with multiple waves of AoEs, so blocking the first one isn't a big deal... heal through it. Also with the long recast time it's not up if you need more than one pull. My guild leader in reborn insisted I get bladedance though so I am specced out of agi and into str right now.
Under the dirge EOF line I have degredate, and pretty much every debuff in the line maxxed out. I have luck of the dirge, with 5 in dead calm, 5 in chimes of blades, and 5 in power ballad, being most important, and I have both rezzes maxxed and confront fear (rez sickness removal).
------------------------------------------------------------
Defiler - Mostly adept IIIs (at a minimum) Not many masters, but I play him well as an MT defiler or healer for another group. Group heal is M1, Abasement (decreases attack speed by 27, and dps by 19.2 ) is M1, Malis (Dps - yeah right) is M1, Enormity my group str and health buff is my M2 choice,
AAs - 132, right now i'm 4, 4, 6, 8, 1 in str (which is a nice healing boost with dogdog, but I know is worthless against orange mobs - it worked fine in my t2 guild, but i'd be respeccing).
I have 4, 4, 4, 8 in agi mainly for the 15.6 increased heal crits.
I have alacrity of course, with 8 in reuse speed and 6 in ritual.
On the defiler tree, I have Curseweaving (increases duration of debuffs by 5% and increases my casting, recovery and reuse speed by 50%), I have 5 in all the debuffs except panic which has 0.
I have hexation. Increases the resistability of mobs spells and lowers trigger chances on abilities. I have 5 in bane of warding, 2 in crystalize essence, 5 in tendrils of horror, 5 in invective.
Lastly, Soul Ward. 5 in emergency warding, 5 in shroud of armor,3 in words of the ancestors, 1 in spiritual shrine. Th is where my last few points will go. Does not have epic - haven't had the drive to work on it, but would be willing.
----------------------------------------------------------
Templar - Has his epic, only 126 AAs, all spells are adept III's but no masters yet except his M2 choice symbol of marzin... red-headed step child of my healers, but still a damn good one who still has some nice fabled goodies to wear with a large heal mod and OLH items.
AAs, 4, 4, 6, 8 , 1 in divine recovery of course.
4, 4, 6, 8 in shield ally. (agi)
4, 4, 4, 8 for heal crits in stamina.
in the templar tree he's got the blessings line done, and currently smite wrath, but will likely change that.
(Note, i'd be willing to betray to inquis with this guy - as long as my adepts were paid for and I could get some help doing the epic quest over again)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Troub - 136 AAs, has epic, masters - night strike (dps and int debuff) tap essence (damage spell and power regen), Jcap, Chaos anthem was my M2 choice (dot and wis debuff) Fortifying song (Str/sta buff),
AA choices - see above for bard line except still specced for poisons since she was not in the guild where bladednce was required... will respec if asked.
For troub line - resonance with 5 in power ballad, 5 in aria of magic, 5 in jcap, 3 in arcane tempo and 2 in elemental tempo.
Demoralization with 5 in all debuffs. 3 in reverberating shrill, 1 in painful lamentations, and 5 in PoTM.
Yeah, I don't have harmonization, butI can respec if asked, i'm working towards (used to have) sonic interference.
Has Epic.
------------------------------------------------------------
SK - Has epic, 134 AAs. Masters - chasetisement (encounter taunt and disease mit debuff) and my M2 choice insinuate (single target taunt and dot)
str, 4, 4, 8, 6, 1 (avenging invigoration)
sta 4, 4, 8, 6, 1, (divine aura)
int 4, 4, 8
4 of my remaining points in this tree will go to maximize hate gain completely and max health another percent.
Of course able to spec for fear immune when needed.
In my SK tree I have Siphon Hate, with 5 in dark caress, 3 in chastisement, 3 in insinuate, 3 in rescue, 5 in hateful slam, and 5 in death march.
I also have Reaver, 4 in holy arms, 5 in shadow coil, 3 in leech touch, 3 in life pact, 3 in siphon vitae, 3 in mana siege, and 3 in tap arteries.
+ 3 in doom rays, 3 in mortal embrace, 5 in drain might, and 5 in siphon armament.
( I might consider betraying to a paladin, again if my adept 3s are paid for and help with my epic is provided... though I'd rather not betray)
------------------------------------------------------
My brigand is actually just shy of 80, so obviously doesn't have his epic or any work done on it, and I can't get his details because I let his subscription lapse... unless he's wanted
-----------------------------------------------------------------
So, to recap... My fury is my favorite to play, and I think the one i'm most skilled with, though I may be an altaholic I pride myself on knowing how to play all my characters well. My dirge is the only one flagged for VP, all others need flagged from t2 up. I'm looking for a guild that's cleared or is at least progressing through VP, I can give 100% of my ability/attention and a 95% + Attendance rate and i'm looking for a minimum of 4 days, up to 6. (7 is just a bit much, and 3 is too few for me)
I will probably be applying to a few select guilds that have posted in the other folder that seem to be a great fit, but I have so many alts and sometimes a guild is looking for more than one thing and would prefer one over another... So here's all of my lvl 80's laid out for inspection
Please PM me, send mail to
jharuvi@yahoo.com , or ingame mail i'll most likely check is befallen.aloua
Thanks!
