Champions of Ulduar has gone under some recent trimmings of our roster to rid of the unwanted & bad players. These people were removed for utter failure to learn from they're mistakes or unable to perform as well as we want after being asked to basically "l2p". In doing so the following positions are available for our core 10m team
1 stable tank (preferred druid or death knight)
1 stable healer (preferred disc/holy priest or resto shaman)
2 stable pure dps (mage, hunter, warlock)
1 stable dps with tank off spec (warrior, death knight, druid, paladin)
1 stable dps with raid heal off spec (shaman, priest, druid)
Notice how I put stable in between each one. We're quite tired of people showing to 1-2 raids then stop coming because its not faceroll like everybody told them it was once icc came out.
RIGHT icc came out, naxx mechanics went out the window, os was a freaking joke (it still is to a point but void zones hurt, fire walls hurt, & enraged fire adds definitely hurt in numbers)
Well they're tired of people deciding to show up when they feel like it. We need people who can make thursday/friday/saturday raids starting at
8pm central server time going until 11pm central server time each night.
Tuesday nights are generally farm content nights so we usually clear 95% of naxx. Such as we did naxx tuesday night, cleared everything except gluth/thaddius (including kel'thuzad & sapphiron)
We're going to attempt to create a group 2 for ulduar but for naxx/os/eoe we'll be merging into a 25m group. We can almost easily do os25m with 8-10 people so its easily doable with 15+ people and same can be said for most of naxx if dps meet the numbers.
What we require from each member?
Make raids, be on vent and online 15 minutes before raid and expect to be pulling at 8pm. There will be 2 breaks during raid time. If 10 or more people are in the raid group we will take 2 10 minute breaks at 9pm and 10pm. If 9 or less are in the raid group 2 5 minute breaks will be taken at 9pm & 10pm. People who are not back by the ready check at the end of the break (it will be marked on your dbm) will be docked 1500 EP. Thats almost an entire boss kill's worth of EP. Wasting others time isnt a joke and will not be tolerated in this guild.
What we require from certain roles specifically?
Tanks - Abillity to know when you should be using cooldowns, make sure that your assigned trash packs have aggro on you 100% of the time. If dps pull dont bitch and just taunt. If it becomes an issue the raid leader will sort it out.
Healers - Ability to use cd's on tanks & other members when needed. If a member is being melee'ed by a mob or 2 and your a holy paladin...hand of protection. If a tank is taking quite a bit of damage and you can spare 30% of your health, hand of sacrifice. If a dps is rising on threat meters and you can spare a GCD hand of salvation. I use a paladin as an example because I've been playing one forever but other healing classes have some cd's of both the same & different objective. Its your job to figure out how to play your class, not others to make you learn it.
Dps - If your assigned to kill anything in specific do it. If your attacking the "X" when a "skull" is still up and you werent told to attack "X" first your doing it wrong and your probably gonna get scolded.
Hunters/Mages/Dk's - On some occasions these classes will be told to kite mobs. Our priorities are usually death knight>mage>hunters. If you are asked to kite expect to do it and if you refuse unless you have a good reason you will be asked again. If you refuse again you will most likely be replaced, removed from raid group for the night, or docked a good amount of EP. We dont do things to be assholes, we do it for the best interest in the raid group. If we know you cant kite and your trying your best, then we wont ask you to kite again obviously.
Vent Chatter - This is becoming an issue that I'm going to resolve ASAP. When a raid leader is assigning roles, speaking about the raid, or pretty much leading in any manner, vent had better be clear. We require all members to have push to talk on and if they dont it'd better be quiet on their end from outside noises such as music, TV, fans, breathing, etc. If this becomes an issue we will handle it in a way we find necessary.
We are getting serious during raid time, but outside of raids we have our fun, we joke around, we harass each other. We all have thick skins and we expect you to as well. If you get criticism and dont take it, some improvements better be made otherwise. If a member is harassing you and it offends you please visit an officer and we will handle it.
These changes will go in effect as of sunday night. Please do not be alarmed, we are still very laid back but we are tired of having people treat this as a parking garage for toons and show up whenever they feel like it. We are dedicated raiding guild just as much as an 85 guild in heroic firelands. We try to push for our best and we are going to aim for the toughest achievements whether we physically will be able to add them on our achievement list or not within the game.
