What we expect of you

General

You must be self motivated. We don't look for players we need to tell what to do, we want people that can think for themselves and will actively research aspects of raiding on their own.

You must be able to play every night from raid start to raid end, we expect dedication from our members. We need people we can rely on to show up every night from now until whenever, no random excuses or disappearing for a week, or needing to take unnecessary breaks randomly during raids. Our raids are a focused environment, waiting for one person is never acceptable.

It should go without saying, but the level of skill we require is far above the average Wow player. You should be a master of your class, with great knowledge of all aspects of it. And you should have a great knowledge of other classes as well, not just your own. We want people that can work well as a team and knowledge of other classes is important.

You should know fights from all sides, not just from your own perspective. You should be able to think on your toes and react to what is happening; we don't want people that need their hand held during raids. You should be able to offer insight and suggestions on ways to improve the way we handle fights, and have the confidence to do so. We are not a dictatorship; we encourage our members to contribute to the development of strategies.

As a person you should first and foremost be friendly and polite. We have developed a very friendly group and require possible recruits to fit in with us. We don't care if you are the greatest player on earth, if you are rude or put simply an asshole then we don't want you. We want this game to be fun for our members and won't allow anyone to ruin the environment we have built up.

Net Connection

A recruit is of no use to us if they disconnect a few times every raid, we need everyone online for the full duration of our raids. It seems such a simple requirement, possibly shouldn't even need to be mentioned, but if your net connection and computer aren't stable enough to run Wow for a few hours each night then you need not apply.

Gear

Gear is not a big requirement in an application for us. We do not require people to have the latest hard-mode gear (although we won't discount someone because of it).

As we are looking for excellent individuals to play with us for a long time, gear is of little concern. What we do look for in terms of gear is an indication that you understand your class and the theory crafting that goes with it. Gems and enchant choices, stats you've aimed for, talent choices and glyphs. If you are under geared for your class then we'd expect you to be able to tell us with great detail what you'd consider optimal gear, and most importantly why. Gear is temporary, a great player is permanent.

Attendance

As we run with a very small roster, we expect all of our members to maintain a 90% attendance while they raid with us. This means that on average you may sign off one raid every two weeks. If you cannot manage this at a minimum then you need not apply. We are looking for dedicated players who want to play at our level, people that we can rely on to be there every night.
