We are trialing you just as you are trialing us.

To become a mythic trial please do the following:

• Request a raid spot from the Team Raid Leader or Officer

• Be recruited as a raid trial

• Read and agree with the raider expectations and guild rules

• Show up to raid night on time and prepared

• Gear up outside of raid and participate in guild M+

• Complete 2 weeks worth of raiding. We will provide feedback during your trial, along with reasoning on why we may have passed on your trial at the end.

We understand trialing with a new guild can be nerve racking, and result in lower performance than your normal. Outside of glaring issues (overly excessive early deaths, exceptionally low dps, complete disregard for mechanics, or breaking guild rules repeatedly), everyone gets ample time to prove themselves an asset to the raid team.

Below are the attributes we seek in raiders. Ultimately, we want raiders who are enjoyable to be around, are highly competent players, and good listeners/learners.

Abilities

While we certainly aren't sweaty hardcore raiders, we do aim to impress the server and be a community of like minded, skilled players. We encourage our raiders to constantly improve themselves. The only true failure is apathy.

• Knowledge: It is expected you know how to play your class and are constantly seeking out ways to improve that gameplay experience for yourself and for the benefit of the raid group. More knowledge = more DPS/survivability = less stress. That same thought process extends to fights. Practice makes perfect, so hit the training dummies, tweak your settings, and critique your own mistakes. Our only requirement is that you put effort into your raid team. 

• General Awareness: While we assure that important mechanics will be called out in a fight, we do expect that you are able to keep track of personal mechanics, position smartly, and perform to the best of your abilities. Contribute to the success of the team by being a selfless raider who looks out for the player next to them. A clean UI, weakauras, boss timers, etc will go a long way to helping this.

• Determination:  Progression means wiping. Expect to fail at first, and to keep trying after. Help keep the stress low by coming as prepared as you can. 

Attitude

While raid does require focus and concentration, it is still a community event in the guild. We strive to be a group that enjoys playing with each other as opposed to a task force cobbled together to begrudgingly co-exist for 6 hours a week. Factors that play into how well prog can go include: morale, eliminating elitism, willingness to improve, humility, and personal responsibility.

• Morale: Don’t come to raid prepared to lose. Come to raid prepared to learn and progress a fight. If you find yourself dreading raid night, speak to the Raid Lead, Officers, or Guild Leader. We will do our best to alleviate the concern, but it may also come down to needing a break. Understand when is and is not an appropriate time to goof off. The pull timer is the cut off point for shenanigans.

• Eliminating Elitism: If you’re too good for our guild or our requirements, you’re more than welcome to apply to Complexity, Limit or Method. We will not be finger pointing, belittling, or promoting an attitude that certain people are carrying the raid team. Performance will constantly be monitored and replacements will be made if people aren’t conforming to that mantra. In that same regard, an elitist attitude will not be tolerated towards other guild members.

• Willingness to Improve: Our ideal raider simply wants to be better than they were yesterday. Our officer team and members are highly skilled and more than willing to help coach, so reach out if you feel you're behind where you want to be, or offer assistance to those who ask. 

• Personal Responsibility: During raids, if you mess up a mechanic, don’t make excuses for yourself and why you couldn’t do it. Failure, and the subsequent eureka moment of success are simply part of the process, so own your mistakes. Bring consumables required to raid. Improve your gear outside of raid where possible.

Be willing to meet these expectations each and every night. Raid night is first and foremost for boss killing and prog.

• Be online on time and able to spend 3 hours uninterrupted. The raid team will not wait for you, it starts at the scheduled time and backups will take your place.

• Let the Raid Leader know if you cannot make the raid ahead of raid night. Consistently leaving early or random AFKs will reduce the chance you’ll be asked to return. No call/no shows will not be invited later in the night.

• Attendance is crucial to progressing a raid tier.

• Raiders will review encounter guides to prepare for bosses. We will also watch videos of every new mythic fight prior to the first pull, along with a quick Q&A session.

• Don’t be impaired while we are progressing. Once a raid is on-farm, or while we are doing non-progression raiding, we don’t care, so long as it doesn't negatively affect the social aspect of the group. "On-farm" means we can clear a raid in one raid week.

• Raid discipline is critical. By this we mean: moving through trash efficiently, maintaining essential communications during boss pulls, and minimizing downtime between pulls. 

• Fun is a critical resource alongside focus.

• All raiders will have WeakAuras, Method Raid Tools, and BigWigs (or DBM).

Weakauras

An incredibly versatile addon that can do everything from boss timers, to dps rotation helper, to raid assignments. We will use a handful of mandatory weakauras for specific bosses.

Deadly Boss Mods(DBM) OR Bigwigs

These addons are boss prompts that allow raid markers to be automatically placed.

Method Raid Tools

Coordination and raid assignments. Enables the Raid Leaders to share information directly to your screen.

RC Loot Council

Allows for quicker and better loot distribution during progression.

Our mythic prog team utilizes RC Loot Council. Gearing is a mix of maximizing the performance of the raid at large, and what the best value add is for the long term health of the raid team.

Unique and rare powerful items will go to players the raid leadership chooses.

Players are expected to max their weekly crests up until they cannot upgrade their gear anymore.

Trials can and do receive loot if they excel at their trial and show engagement with the guild.

Our mythic team consists of between 23-25 players. We take the best suited spec/class/player to a given progression fight and will swap as needed. Reclear nights prioritize players who have had less raid time than others. All raiders should expect to play the bench eventually.

 
The mythic raid roster will be posted every Sunday night alongside signup. Please inform a raid officer of any planned absence when you can regardless of whether you are on the bench for the week or not.

Being in Discord watching prog is the best way to be raid ready and we will pull from those players, who show engagement even while benched, first. 

Bench spots will take over any late raider's spot. 

Frequent absences warrant removal from the team.

To maintain a spot, fill your vault with all myth track M+, keep your crests capped, and show up.

BOEs will be given to the Raid Leader and sold for Gbank funds during any Uranium raid. Refusal to do so will result in being removed from the raid team.

Raider rank and above
Potions, flasks, vantus runes, food, repairs, healthpots, etc will be stocked in the bank and taken free of charge to be used in raid and M+.
