Hello, everyone! My name is John and I just returned to WoW around 2 months ago. I quit way back in WoD and decided to come back. With that being said, I am a little bit behind everyone else right now, but I am quickly catch up. Right now I am focusing on a DH, but I am aware that the melee dps field is pretty saturated and there are also a lot of DH around, so I am open to playing other classes as well, which I will list a bit later.
I am a former hardcore raider who has cleared most raids on the hardest difficulty before the nerfs. I raided BC-WoD and cleared almost everything except for Heroic Ragnaros(Cata) and Yogg 0 Light (WotLK). There may be some others that slip my memory. I was also a part of a top 400 kill on Heroic Garrosh and a server best time for CMs on Hyjal, which isnāt a low population realm.
Why am I leaving my current guild? Well, I am just on one character. These guys are still my friends, but they have progressed to a point that I cannot catch up, plus I am not sure that I want to raid that hardcore anymore. So, I am looking for something a little more light-hearted.
What am I looking for? I am looking for a guild that is more community/family centered. Not family as in no profanity and such, but one that treats people like family. I want to feel like I am a part of a group, not just a number on a roster. I do have several conditions that I want the guild to meet, some of them are flexible.
-A respectful environment. Constructive criticism is fine, being outright nasty isnāt. I understand raid leaders sometimes have to be pretty stern to get people to focus. I am talking about using offensive words and such to demean someone as a person.
-People who log on for more than just raid nights. I want a guild who enjoys playing with each other outside of raids. That can include other games as well, but I like to do M+ as well. Old content raids are fun for transmogs too. I understand that this isnāt controlled by the GMs ad such, but itās nice to have people who are on and to not talk to yourself in Gchat all of the time.
-Consistently gets into heroic content. I am not looking for super fast clears or anything, but a guild that does get into doing heroic content on a consistent basis is a plusā¦Clearing it is a bigger plus.
-2 raids per week. Well, at least main ones. I am not looking to raid every night. Sometimes I just want to chill and farm old stuff.
Well, there is a basic breakdown on what I want. Now letās go over what I can give. I know I am asking for a lot with no experience in BfA or current achieves and a lower ilvl.
-A consistently good player. I mess up. We all do. Most of the time if I die to a mechanic, then it wonāt happen again. Even though there is an off night every now and then that this might happen.
- I am 33 years old. I am not super young, so I like to think of myself as mature and respectful. I also donāt talk down to people for no reason.
-Someone with a raid pedigree dating back to BC. An experienced raider who knows what it takes to perform. Someone who is willing to put the time in to maximize their potential. Farming gear, world quests, mythic dungeons, and hours spent on training dummies are all part fof the game.
-Someone who has lead a guild before. I have also been the healing lead and was the healing lead for the guild I am currently in. So, I am capable of organizing and calling stuff out, if needed. I will only do so if the raid leader asks me to.
-Someone who knows multiple classes and can play them at a high level.
āSomeone who knows how to dissect logs and see where problems might be for progression bosses.
Those are just a few of the things I can provide.
Now, as I said, I have no raiding experience in BfA, so I am looking for someone to give me a shot. I am not expecting to jump right into a raiding role. I figure this would more be preparation for 8.2.
Classes that I am willing to play:
H denotes a current Horde character and an A denotes a current Alliance one.
(H) Havoc DH- My most geared. This is my preferred class, but as I said earlier, I know this is unlikely.
(H) Mistweaver Monk- My second most geared. I mained one during ToT.
The gear is pretty low, I just hit 120 on her two days ago.
(H) Brewmaster Monk- I donāt have gear for it, but I can easily farm it and I know how to play it. I prefer not to main Windwalker because I am not familiar with it as much, but I could learn it.
(A) Ret/Prot/Holy Paladin- My first character I created. I am very experienced on this, but my gear is lacking.
(A) BM Hunter- I know how to play this spec quite well, but heās a relatively new 120.
(H) Fury Warrior- I mained this guy for my short stint back in Legion.
Classes that are not 120, but I could level quickly and know how to play:
(H) Resto/Boomkin Druid- I have played a lot of resto druid in the past and I am very capable on it.
(H) Ele/Resto Shaman- I mained this in MoP during SoO and had some top parses on it.
Now, I am willing to server transfer any character within the same faction, but I cannot afford to faction change as well. So, if you want me to swap factions on a character, then it would have to be funded by your guild. I take care of my sick mother, so I am unemployed and do not have the income to do that right now. If I server transfer, then it would be around the beginning of next month.
Random facts about me:
-I am also a fragrance blogger. Yes, I review cologne and perfume.
-Saltines should not be allowed to be called saltines if they do not have salt on them.
-I love Kung Fu Panda, so naturally, MoP is one of my favorite expansions.
-I am an Army Veteran.
(Make sure to leave a comment in your post about one of these, so that I will know you actually read my post and didnāt just copy and paste your recruitment message)
I hope everyone has a great day and I look forward to hearing from you!
Feel free to post on here or contact me on Btag. Btag will probably get my attention moreso though. Feel free to ask me anything as well. I can provide proof as to everything I have said in this post.

Edit: I forgot to mention that one of my goals is to help carry people through Mythic dungeons for free. I do enjoy helping people and being able to give back to the community is rewarding for me.
Also, I will note that I am not looking to get carried. I am willing to work my way up in the ranks and gear by pugging normals and heroics until I can keep up with the raiders in your guild.
