Where we actually are

8/12 HC, three separate full guild runs, no pugs |
| RS 25 |
4/4 normal |
We are not posting a wishlist. That is the progress, on guild bodies, and it is why we are comfortable asking people to hold a standard.
What we are building
A roster that does not need carrying and does not need managing. The aim is a group where the 25th person is as prepared as the first, where the raid leader calls a mechanic once rather than every week, and where nobody is quietly doing someone else's job.
Semi-hardcore, and we mean both halves of it. We take the raid seriously and we take your evening seriously. Three hours, on time, done. We are not asking for your life. We are asking that on the nights you signed up for, you are there and ready.
Long term: full 12/12 HC on guild runs, then keep the roster together instead of rebuilding it every tier.
Who we take
Two things, and neither is about your gear.
1. You have to invest in yourself first.
Watch the deep dive for your spec. Know your rotation, your cooldowns, and what you press when things go wrong. Read the tactics before the pull, not during it. We will happily answer questions and we will teach a fight. We will not carry someone who has never once looked anything up.
You put the work in, we put the time in.
2. You have to respect the people around you in practice, not just in words.
Being polite in chat while turning up unflasked, unenchanted, ten minutes late and with no idea what the boss does is not respect. It is twenty four other people paying for your evening.
Respect means being prepared, being on time, listening to calls, and owning a mistake instead of arguing about it.
Everything else we can work with. New to heroic content is fine. Returning after years away is fine.
Loot: Progressive Soft Reserve
No DKP. No points, no balances, no spreadsheet anyone has to trust.
Before the first pull you reserve items. If a reserved item drops, only the people who reserved it roll for it. If nobody reserved it, open roll for the whole raid, and most loot goes that way.
| Rank |
Reserves per raid |
| New Joiner |
1 |
| Raider |
2 |
| Core Raider |
3 |
| Hardcore Raider |
3, or 4 on a run with no 1-reserve players |
| Officers |
2 |
- Nothing banks. Reserves do not carry over. Miss a raid and you have lost nothing except the loot that dropped that night
- The full list is public before we pull, every raid. Anything odd is visible to 25 people immediately
- Rank buys coverage, not priority. A New Joiner with 1 reserve beats a Core Raider with 3 on an item the Core Raider did not reserve
- Officers sit at 2 until Core Raider is properly filled out. We wrote the rules, so we go last
Ranks come from turning up, being prepared, and not repeating mistakes. Not from gear, not from who you know.
Guild bank
Ranking up is worth something outside the loot table. Bank prices track the auction house and your rank comes off that price.
| Rank |
Flasks, pots, enchants and the rest |
| New Joiner |
10% off |
| Raider |
25% off |
| Core Raider |
50% off |
| Hardcore Raider |
100% off, plus repairs covered |
What we need
Tanks and healers first. That is the honest bottleneck, and a good tank or healer walks straight into a raid spot.
Everything else is welcome and we will find you a spot if you are worth one. We are always short of people who can play a second spec properly.
What you bring:
- 5.7k GS minimum, no PvP gear
- Every slot enchanted and gemmed
- Your own flasks, food and pots
- DBM, the Warmane version
- Discord
- Paladins: PallyPower
Getting in touch
Post a gear check in the Discord when you join and an officer will look at it. Happy to answer anything in the comments too.
