Hey all!
is a new-ish guild looking to fill out our core raid team prior to WotLK launch so we can hit the ground running come launch (and ideally also start doing some BT/SWP runs for preraid BiS during prepatch). We’re a guild led by a handful of original WotLK realm first raiders / pserver vets who have been playing and loving WotLK for over a decade.
Why Anthem?
A big pain point I’ve been seeing is people returning for WotLK or just starting and having a difficulty finding a raid team due to a lot of guilds already having their dedicated rosters. With us being newer we not only have spots for you but people you may be playing with as well. Our goal is to fill out our core 25m semi-HC raid team first (with focuses on week 1 clears and glory achieves) and ideally form a second 25m raid team as well so we can more evenly split up into 10m groups.
What can you expect from us?
A fun and relaxed yet still competitive environment. We aim on clearing naxx week two (on its release week) which means that if you are part of the core raid team it would be expected you would be 80 and at least working on preraid BiS before naxx releases. Having done naxx in original and on beta realistically preraid BiS will likely be overkill so we won’t be requiring you to be fully geared - but as touched on in the next section we expect effort to be put in in regards to gearing. With that being said, we do aim on completing Glory achievements and special achievements such as The Immortal / The Undying / etc.
What do we expect from you?
The term “semi-HC” varies pretty wildly depending on who you ask, but to us it means showing up with proper gems, enchants, consumables, class/spec/rotation/etc knowledge, and a desire to perform well. This does not mean we expect everyone to be parsing orange/pinks and anything less than that is unacceptable; it just means that you are putting in the time and effort to play at a level where we can consistently clear content. As such, we may need to bench people from time to time if consistent mistakes / etc keep occurring, but that’s a topic to discuss when/if it ever gets to that point.
Raid times / Loot rules:
These two are still somewhat up in the air. Currently with the people we have it’s looking like 9pm to 12 am server t/th would work best, so that’s what we’re currently looking to potentially build around. As far as loot rules go nothing is set in stone either and ideally we would discuss and decide this as a raid team when we have our core team fleshed out.
There’s unique benefits and problems in all loot systems but what I personally would like to do would be a hybrid Loot Council / EPGP system, wherein the first few resets of a raid gear is LC’ed out to prio’ed members for the benefit of the raid team overall (such as high spell power gear being given to the Demo lock that way it increases the overall raid teams SP) and afterwards switched over to an EPGP type loot system. Again this is not even remotely set and we’re open to suggestions and feedback.
