Damage Control

Ranged 2 years ago

He has tanked a lot of gdkp / other raids for me and does a good job. Knows the fights and his class well, thumbs up for a trial from me pending check from a warrior. Gear is up to date for our needs for the most part as well.

Gear look up to par, similar to what i tank with, if he has any talent at all i say tag for a trial. I'll try to run some heroics with him to see if he knows how to generate threat, rawr pulls, and how he handles being overwhelmed. However i feel ruz should take a look and offer him suggestions.<3U

Firstly, I think that I have been in some of the runs Ranged mentioned, like GDKP where Ceelo has been tanking. I dont really remember him, which at the very least means he didnt do anything that really annoyed me

Alright. I ran 2 heroics with Ceelo earlier today.
The first was Azjol Nerub. I waited until we had barely engaged the third pack of adds before the first boss... then Flame Shocked the boss. I didnt give Ceelo any warning or anything... and he picked up the boss as well as the adds before it came close to getting to me.

I was looking forward to doing Hadronox Denied, whether he was ready for it or not... but Dien robbed me of that chance by cheesing the encounter.

Finally, he picked up the final boss quickly and easily. Dien said that Ceelo took a pair of pounds during the boss fight... but I didnt notice. What I DID notice, was that he was also effectively interrupting the Poison bolts from the adds.

I was impressed.

Secondly we did Halls of Stone. Even during the big AOE pulls, with the little shard guys ect, and with Dien pulling packs ahead of us (as a resto druid) I pulled aggro a lot less then I would have expected.

What it comes down to is that he was holding aggro off of 2 well geared dps doing 6k+ in a 5man who were not being nice to him (cuz we were testing him).
His situational awareness seemed very good.

I totally vote we get him into a 25m raid asap and see if he can hold it together at that level. Also, spending 4 hours with him on vent and in chat to see if he's a dick or something else. But as far as I can tell, he has the skillz

I'll wait until he has a trial run or two before I post anything about this particular individual.

I ran 2 Heroics with with, with ranged fail healing it (ranged was stoopid and didn't heal himself died, ceelo stayed up strong), I also played shiro funtimes, with rawr Divine storm, i think a mob hit me 3-4 times in 2 runs. Great skills, I like the gear, the only question left for me is Raid situational awarenessm but we can only see that in a raid. I propose trial him on tues, and moldy go dps for atleast the first 4 bosses, then decide from there.

I ran a couple Heroics with Ceelo a couple days ago, and he seems ok , the only complaint that I have is that he was kinda slow pulling packs, but! this compliant is more of personal preference thing rather than a indicative of skills. (YES!, I like very fast instances and I also like non-stop DPS during the entire dungeon).

In terms of threat management, he was very good. During those instances I was trying as much as possible to pull the adds off him, and I did it couple times, but he quickly taunt them back.

I agree with Jbean that we need to take Ceelo to the next level, a trial run in ICC10 or ICC25 is recommend.
