Echoes has been clearing the game's content at a steady rate since Vanilla. We reside on the Horde side of Laughing Skull where a very strong community of excellent players has always been scattered, often throughout various guilds, but have now all been united under Echoes. We went very strongly in Cataclysm: clearing all of the content on each tier and consistently securing a strong position in the top 100. This tradition has been continued in Mists, putting us at rank 83 in Tier 14, Rank 31 in Tier 15, Rank 45 in Tier 16 and rank 105 and 108 in T17 and 18 after the new mythic raidformat and the chinese invaded wowprogress.
Recently, we have been merged with the EU Balnazzar, EU Boulderfist, EU Chromaggus, EU Daggerspine, EU Shattered Halls, EU Talnivarr, EU Trollbane, EU Sunstrider Realm-Cluster, making Laughing Skull once again a fairly active realm with literally ten times as many people around.
What are we currently looking for?
We are currently accepting ANY exceptional applicants to the guild with particular emphasis on the following classes to strengthen our roster for Legion:
1x healer. We're going to be blunt - we want someone that can push absolutely amazing numbers. Our current healer team has tactics down to a T, but we need someone that can push HPS for those bosses where that is a requirement.
Do also note that you are expected to keep and maintain one alt character for split raids. You are not supposed to be able to play it as well as your main, but we do need you to play it well enough for funnel-raids. As an example, the benchmark for Nighthold is:
870-880+ Ilvl (depending on "luck" with legendaries).
35 Traits for the 5% power boost.
We do alt raids after progress is over on the days we have leftover after farming with the main raid, meaning that even if you don't have a lot of time during the week, you won't be forced to play "outside" of raid hours to keep your alt up to code with gear; And as you can see, the requirements are fairly "relaxed" - and when the alts are geared enough to not "hold us back", we do split runs to funnel more gear towards mains/kill more bosses with the alts.
Needless to say, if you want a spot during progress, you will have to be able to compete with our current raiders - both in terms of performance and output. Please take a minute to check our logs to see if you would be competitive - everything we raid is public:
warcraftlogs.com/guilds/1150
What can Echoes offer me?
-A stable raiding environment in which you can play both competitively and enjoyably in 20 man raid content
-Progress at a steady, constant, and high end rate
-A home and community which you are encouraged to be a part of both outside and inside of raids
-Banter during farm raids that never makes a raid boring and guarantee's a laugh
-All of the above factors to last you throughout Legion and beyond
Why Echoes?
-Raidspots are awarded based on performance (and of course, attendance) so you will be playing amongst others who have earned and continue to earn their place in competition with the world
-We take pride in our stability as a guild and as a community, very much including outside of raids
-We organise and encourage alt raids and old content vanity achievements. Hmm, I'm not sure, when do you guys raid?
We consider our raids to be of high quality, and to achieve this we require STABILITY, so we would like to emphasize that if you cannot be sure to almost always make the following times, we are probably not the guild for you:
Wednesday: 19:00 - 23:00 (Do distinguish this from the rest)
Thursday: 19:30 - 23:00
Sunday: 19:30 - 23:00
Monday: 19:30 - 23:00
*NOTE* On a trial basis, we are now going to raid with a 4 day schedule, down from our previous 5 days. We are, however, keeping the fifth day for the first two weeks of Mythic raids, in order to ensure we can do our split raids without sacrificing too much Mythic progress time. Most guilds will pussy-foot around this and say they have "non-mandatory heroic raids" on an off-day, but obviously "if you want loot you gotta show, *wink wink nudge nudge*. We call it as we see it; An added raid day to ensure proper farm while content is fresh.
Do note that invites start 15 minutes before the above time. That means we have a 15 minute gathering up time before the first pull to sort out the raid, allow for people logging on late, etc. We encourage people to be outside the instance prior to invites so as to be mentally prepared for the mindset of raiding - going straight from Orgrimmar to the instance doesn't usually result in a very focused raid.
Sounds good, so where and how do I sign up?
Please head to http://echoes.enjin.com/ and feel free to browse at your leisure. Our application process is detailed on our website in the recruitment section should you find yourself interested. If you consider yourself exceptional and feel you can challenge our current raiders, then do not let our class-based recruitment hinder you, we welcome the opportunity to integrate top-quality players into our roster. Gear and logs are typically not an issue - the transfer fee is your money: if you think you can prove yourself in a trial we will usually give you one. However, do note that during progression we will not be farming old content (or any content) to gear you up - if you apply during progression you will need to have sufficient gear to dive into new content and logs to back up your performance. After months of farming and fine-tuning, we typically have a very strong roster, so unless you can outperform our current raiders on progress, your application will probably not go through.
If you have any questions or queries or would like more info, please do not hesitate to contact any officer in-game or via a PM on our website - whatever works for you.
