[H] Group of Experienced Raiders Looking for a 3 night week Raiding Guild

[Merlinb]

Hello everyone!

We are a group of experienced raiders seeking a new guild and server to call home and to progress with.

Who we are

Currently there are seven of us and there will possibly be an eighth. We all originate from Alexstrasza, which does not have any sort of Horde presence in regards to raiding. We have recently decided to part ways with a guild that at one point was concerned with progression raiding, but has now decided to take a more casual approach. At this time, we are in my old guild in order to maintain easier communication with one another.
Most of us have been playing together for 8+ years and we are no strangers to the raid environment. All of us are quality players that bring consistency and fun to the raid group. Our average item level is 685 and we have seen all heroic encounters in BRF, although have not yet killed Blackhand. We do know the Blackhand fight, as we have committed some time to that encounter. We are all drama free and are anxious to make new friends in a progression guild. All of us have logs available for perusual if desired.

What we are looking for

Our ideal guild raids three nights a week on an EST friendly schedule. As late as we can commit to would be an 11:00pm - 11:30pm end time. Our ideal guild places progression and the best raiders as top priorities. One large problem with our last guild was that the raid leader would invite everyone to every raid, regardless of their known history to perform poorly. This lead to many incredibly stressful and unproductive raid nights/weeks, so we want to avoid experiencing that again at all costs. We are searching for a raid environment that consists of players who are known to perform well and love to have fun throughout the raid night, but know when it is time to take things seriously. Mythic progression is, of course, the end goal. We are not expecting a full clear of Mythic content and would be more than happy to see a few bosses.

Our class composition

Warrior (Prot)
Druid (Guardian)
Druid (Resto)
Druid (Boomkin)
Warlock (Demo)
Paladin (Ret)
Hunter (Surv)
The possible eighth is also a Boomkin

Our two tanks desire to remain in that role. They are top notch at what they do and have never disappointed in their tanking responsibilities, although do understand it will be difficult to find a guild that wants 2 tanks. Our healer and DPS are always raid aware. Most of the time it is not one of us who are dead early during a raid encounter, as we all strive to survive while performing our roles optimally.
We would love to hear from some of you folks. Please do not hesitate to reply to this thread or contact me over Battle.net if you have any questions: Merlinb#1740

Thank you!

Does the 2 tanks play a dps offspec as well?If so, I believe that we could all accomodate you in our Guild Vortex.

Vortex is recruiting for Mythic raiding! We're targeting a 26-27 person roster with a 66% attendance requirement expected over our 3 day raid week (thus, 2 nights a week at a minimum).

We've had a great deal success recruiting for our WoD roster and have gotten off to a fast start in this expansion, but are currently looking for the following roles to help flush out our raiding team.

Current Progression: 4/7 Mythic Highmaul 10/10 Heroic Blackrock Foundry

- 1x Healer (Druid, Shaman)
- 3x Melee DPS (Warrior, Death Knight, Paladin, Shaman)
- 3x Ranged DPS (Warlock, Druid)

Please keep in mind that exceptional applicants of any class are always welcome to apply. If you know some of our members and/or think you'd be a great fit for us in terms of personality and skill, we'd always like to hear from you! We archive every application we get and if raiding spots open up, those archived applications that we were unable to accept will likely be the first spot we look for great folks to join us.

About Vortex:

For those who don't know us, Vortex has been specializing in 10-man heroic raiding on Turalyon since 2008 and has made he shift to Mythic raiding in WoD. We're generally an older group (20+ to 40+) of folks, some of whom have kids and most of whom have jobs, so we're good at keeping the balance between the game and real life.

Despite all of these draws on our time, we've always finished expansions in the top 1% of guilds world-wide, so that's hopefully a good indicator that we buckle down well when it's time to focus. Our forums are quite active between strategy discussion/refinement and general chatter about interesting things we've found on the Internet.

We want to stress that the most important things that we're looking for is a personality and skill fit between us and our applicants. We want people who are skilled, fun to be around and willing to work hard to help move the team forward. If you're not the best geared player, don't let that stop you from applying.

Raiding Schedule:

Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday: 8pm -> 11:30pm server time (ET). Invites go out at 7:45.
