Go Defensive is an Alliance guild created for WotLK in September 2008 and was one of the servers top 3 night a week guilds. The guild was created by a core of extremely experienced raiders, with a guild pedigree including ex Praetorians, Nevermore, Inner Sanctum, Numen and Genesis amongst illustrious others going right back to release on this server, to take on the 25 man WotLK ladder. Most of the core is still with us today.
Notable achievements were the server's 9th 3 Drake Sartharion kill and finishing the Heroic: Glory of the Raider meta-achievement for our Black Proto-Drakes. As the content moved on we celebrated the server's 7th Anub kill in ToGC25 and got to 9/12hc ICC25 in the server 7th position before Shadowmourne horniness restricted further progress for the expansion ( though we still ofc managed 11/12hc ). Cataclysm saw us maintain our excellent progress and ranking though we got caught short working on Ragnaros HC at the end and didn't quite get the big guy down while it was still relevant.
By the time MoP came around a lot of us had had enough of 3+ nights a week raiding nonstop for 8 years and so we became a 2 night a week guild. Since then we have maintained our position as the top, or one of the top, genuine ( i.e. not alts of people who raid 5 nights elsewhere ) 2 night a week guilds on the server and somewhere in the world top 200 2 night guilds ( and no doubt higher if we're talking genuine 2 nights a week! )
We are looking for exceptional players who consider themselves at the top of their game with their class and wish to compete with other top guilds on Silvermoon for progress whilst maintaining a 2 day a week schedule. Excellence with alts is highly desirable and allows for some flexibility in the squad.
We currently have openings for the following classes/roles:
- Boomkin
- Mage
- Warlock
Of course, Go Defensive are never closed to truly exceptional individuals of any class. And we would encourage you to apply if you feel you can benefit the guild.
Interested players should have a suitable gear level.
Raiding quite a short schedule means we must make the most of our time in raids, we are looking for skilled players who can pick new encounters up quickly and learn from their mistakes, and who are also willing to take advice (and give it) on how to improve their game, or that of others, in a friendly manner.
We're looking for a couple of casters to bolster our ranks before heading into Nighthold! We would particually like applications from Boomkins, Warlocks and Mages, albeit we'll consider all skilled players.
