RECRUITING FOR RAIDING

High Demand:

• Demon Hunter: Havoc

Medium Demand:

• None
  

Also, in order to be able to join our main team straight away, you need to meet the requirements for our current progress, which are around 570+ item level equipped.

We are always open to discuss the possibility of a merge and have been able to incorporate successfully in the past smaller teams and guilds to our roster. Most of us are versatile people and would be willing to accommodate for some restructure in the team and specs, provided of course that you work with us in the same spirit of cooperation.

Any social and friendly person who wants to join us for kicks and giggles is welcome. Just poke any of our officers online and you will get an invite for a social spot (no raiding spot).

ABOUT US

Gordian Knot is a semi-hardcore raiding guild that consists of experienced raiders with some of them having raiding experience as far back as Vanilla.

We are a friendly group who enjoys World of Warcraft and loves raiding. We have fun and joke around but when bosses need to go down then all is serious! We wish for all our members to enjoy the game as much as we do and we expect raiders to maintain a 80% attendance per month. Our wish is for this guild to provide a place for our members to call home and enjoy all aspects of this game in a fun and relaxed environment.

We also enjoy a variety of other activities such as running a lot of Mythic+ dungeons doing alt-runs, achievement runs etc.
We generally aim to push Mythic+ to get +15 keys done for the weekly chests. We do this in spirit to help everyone in the guild getting their highest possible gear reward from their weekly cache (socials included).

There are a few things we hold in high value but above else we value friendliness and politeness towards guildies and other players and skillfulness when it comes to the more serious parts of the game.

CURRENTLY

We raid 2 nights a week, Wednesdays and Sundays, from 20:15 till 23:15 server time. Our raid invites always start 15 minutes prior to each raid.
Although we are a 20-man guild, we usually run an extra group in order to get more people to experience the joys of raiding, help new raiders learn the Knot’s way to down bosses and gearing up. Usually, these runs happen on Thursdays, and also we’re on RBGs killing alliance scums every Friday or Saturday or on other in game activities if not on RBGs!

Our current guild progress is VOTI 7/8M | ATSC 8/9M | ATDH 7/9M, and we’re focusing on getting further progress in Dragonflight. Our aim is to always progress as much as possible but also to have a relaxed and fun atmosphere at the same time!

PS. We’re always open to group applications!
We are also open and welcome social applications.

Currently seeking: DPS, especially Warlock, DH, rogue, evoker, mage and shammy. Healing off-specs would be excellent. No space left for hunters – sorry!

We are aiming to have minimum ilvl 400-405 to begin Season 2, so you should be close to that right now.

Who are we?
We are Vapid Encrypted, a cross-faction, late-night, 2-hours-a-week HC raiding community that tackles HC raids on Wednesdays, 2130-2330 server time.

We’re currently 8/8 in HC Vault – we’re finishing off raid achievements for the end of the season (with a possible dip into Mythic).

Many of the our members come from the social guild The Vapid Ciphers on Argent Dawn EU – community members will also have access to the guild’s M+ and Normal Mode raid nights, as well as our upcoming PVP team and social events.

Only 2 hours? Why?
Because we have jobs. Or kids. Or alts. Or Netflix series to binge. Basically, we want to experience the game at higher levels, but not have to dedicate a big chunk of our free time to do so.

Who can join the raid?
Our aim is to put together a dedicated raid team of 20 people who can make most of our Wednesday night sessions. With our current numbers, we are already raid-ready, but want to bulk the team. The roles we are currently recruiting for are mentioned at the top of this post.
Our goals are AOTC for every Dragonflight raid, and we also hope to dip our toes into a few Mythic fights and/or raid achievements towards the end of each season.

We also aren’t/won’t be demanding any specific specs or talent tree load outs – we’re more interested in dedicated players than people who follow the meta perfectly.

We’ll be asking new members to trial with us for a week or two, so we can judge whether we’d be a good fit for each other.

We do, however, need people who are willing to commit to the following:

• You can attend the majority of our Wed night runs. We also expect raiders to be ready to pull at 2130, and to be able to stay for the entire 2 hours.
• Come to the raid prepared – consumables ready, fully repaired etc.
• Be an active participant in our Discord tactics discussions. With only 2 hours a week, we want to spend most of that time pulling – we’ll be talking through boss tactics in the week before the raid, using Discord so people can dip in and out of the chat when suits them. This will include watching videos, reading guides, using Raidplan, and getting Method Raid Tools set up for the fights.
• You will be willing to gear yourself through other means. With only 2 hours of raiding a week, our raids are NOT going to be a great source of gear. You probably already run M+ to get a slow trickle of gear upgrades. (We’d love to run some with you!)
• Want to have fun in the game, and don’t mind the (many) wipes that come with raid progress. The main aim here is to have fun through progression – swearing and screaming at people tends to kill the ‘fun’ element. We stand by Blizzard’s Social Contract – if there’s anything in there you don’t agree with, you won’t be a good fit for this community.
• You’ve got to be aged 25 or older. The guild this raiding community is linked to was formed back in 2007 with that core rule – so us old farts had like-minded people to game with – and it’s a rule that served us well so far. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

DM me on Discord if you’re the gamer we’re looking for: BenedictPaddy#1364

Second Wind is built around being more than just a guild to house a raid team, we focus on the social aspect to the game as well. Over the years our community has grown to contain people interested in almost all aspects of the game so no matter what level you play at and what content you’re interested in you will likely find someone to enjoy that content with. Outside of raiding we have members interested in M+, achi/mount/pet farming, social/alt raids, levelling, and generally just playing the game. So even if you’re not looking for a mythic raid experience don’t be afraid to get in touch and see if we have people that share your interests.

Although our raid teams will progress at different rates there is no main team. Each team has similar expectations in terms of preparation and performance. Unlike many guilds with multiple teams we do it for the increased community and we do not cannibalise one team to serve the needs of another nor do we dump people on a “lesser� team if their class is not flavour of the month. Each team is their own entity with their own leaders and their own goals.

We don’t raid long hours so world rank is not something we strive for, our target is simply to achieve the goals of the team with time left to have a bit of fun between tiers. We have no interest in competing with guilds that raid longer hours.

We are a large guild, constantly flirting with the 1000 members cap. It’s not uncommon to see 100+ members online in the evening or during the weekends. So if you want to be part of a larger community, look no further.

What we expect from you

• Enjoy yourself. We can’t stress this enough, it’s a game. You’re playing it to have fun, as are we.
• Be on time. Raid invites are up to 15 minutes before start time with the expectation of starting combat at start time, not summoning stragglers.
• Be prepared.
• Be able to communicate. We use Discord for comms. A working microphone is not mandatory but being able to hear calls is. All raid comms are in English.
• Be able to take (and give) feedback in a constructive way.
• Keep up. If you fall behind on gear don’t just expect others to boost you through unless you show willing to put in effort as well.

What you can expect from us

• A nice environment. Toxicity is not tolerated.
• Continuous improvement. Feedback is appreciated and we act on it where appropriate.
• Guidance when needed. Even if we can’t help directly there is a chance we will know someone who can.
• A sense of community. Raiding is only a small part of the game, there is a lot to do outside of raids as well.
• Transparency. Leadership will always strive to make our decisions, and the reasons for them, clear to everyone.
• A voice. Some decisions that affect the direction of the guild are given to the members to decide by vote.

If you feel like Second Wind could be the place for you then feel free to drop into our discord (https://discord.gg/twcPgdU ) and open a recruitment support ticket to speak to the team.

Hello!

We are Vespertine, an english speaking, heroic raiding guild looking to go into mythic, with a strong social leaning outside of raiding, based on Draenor EU. (21+)

We are currently looking for more players to strengthen our roster to venture into mythic! To clarify: this will be our first season going into mythic after 7 years of heroic raiding, occasionally dabbing into a couple of mythic bosses. In TWW, we are looking to consistently go past heroic as we have a strong core of capable players.

About us:
We’re not just a guild, we’re a family. We’ve been raiding since Legion and since then we became a tight-knit group of friends. Discord is our main social platform where we like to spend our evenings chatting away, or just posting weird memes. Our humor is a bit esoteric. Our social side is definitely the focal point of this guild and has led to many irl meetings and friendships. Most of us are in our mid 20s/early 30s.

Raiding:
Our main goal in every tier of raiding is getting Curve and Glory of the X raider. During raids we love to see a relaxed atmosphere between pulls, banter and good laugh. We want everyone to have a great time during raiding. However, we also know that we need to be focused during the pulls and do as best as we can - we don’t want our time to be wasted.

Mythic raiding:
We will be waiting a week or two after it opens to go into mythic! We also aim to maintain a friendly environment, so we are looking for players that are chill but also like to sweat a little :)(

Raid days:
Heroic: Mon/wed 8:00 - 11:00 pm realm time. Once we have heroic on farm (which is pretty quickly) we do heroic on wednesdays only.
Mythic: Thursday 8:00 - 11:00 pm realm time.

What we require:

• Attendance
  By far the most important thing, for steady progression we need a steady team. We want to know we can count on you and know you’ll show up for raids in time, ready and prepared.

  
  

• Patience
  Whether we wipe 3 or 30 times, it’s important for everyone to keep cool without creating more tensions. Rage quitting the raid after a couple of wipes or suddenly deciding you’ve got other stuff to do because you’re frustrated, is not going to sit well with us. You need to be the person who can look on times like this and see the positives, the hints of progress.

  
  

• Know your class/role
  No matter the role you chose to play in the group, you need to know how to fulfill it. Whether you are a tank, healer or dps; you must know how to play it, know the strengths and weaknesses to perform as best as you can.

  
  

• Teamwork
  You are expected to do the mechanics accordingly for all to benefit. If you are here for personal, selfish gains, we will say goodbye to you.

  
  

What we are looking for:

• Tanks
  Closed

  
  

• Healers
  Closed

  
  

• Melee dps
  DH

  
  

• Ranged dps
  Druid

  
  

Outside of raiding we do a lot of m+, play other games or just hang out in Discord.

If this sounds like the place for you, poke any of us on Discord for a chat:
