Current Class Openings

We are currently recruiting all classes and specs for Cataclysm.

Trialists and Trial Periods

We are looking for raiders who can maintain high attendance and performance. We aim to keep a relatively small roster of raiding players to avoid having to have lots of players benched every raid.

Trial periods usually last between 2 and 4 weeks (2 - 4 instance resets).

During your trial period you are expected to be online for every raid.

Trialists are expected to research all the fights they are unfamiliar with that the guild has cleared. If you make basic mistakes due to your own lack of knowledge about the fight you will fail your trial.

Raiders are expected to maintain a 80% attendance at all times.

We use a "Sign off" system, which assumes that all raiders are attending every raid. Raiders are required and responsible to inform the rest of the guild via the Absences forum, if they are going to miss a raid.

The ideal candidate will have invested time into their characters. If the armoury for your character does not show you've put time into your character then you will most likely be declined. This covers everything from faction reputation, enchants, gems and gear.

If you dont have the time to socialise or be involved with the guild in other activities then this is not the right guild for you.
