About Virulent:

Virulent was formed shortly after the release of Wrath of the Lich King on Alterac Mountains (PVP EST) by players with experience in server-first clears of Sunwell during Burning Crusade, with the intent of rapid progression without the drama or demands of a hardcore raiding guild. Virulent enjoyed success throughout the beginning of Wrath, obtaining a Horde first 25-man Malygos kill and Horde second 25-man 3-Drake Sarth and quick progression through Ulduar 25.

After a hiatus we reformed in March 2010, starting 25-man raiding on April 6, 2010. Little more than a month later, with a brand new raiding core, Virulent attained the Horde first 25-man Lich King kill on May 11, 2010.

In March 2011 we suffered a small set back when our GM decided it was time for him to leave the game. While we lost a couple of dps 90% of our core has stayed, we have a new GM and we are currently looking to fill a few empty core slots and continue with our progression.

We enjoy a drama-free atmosphere while maintaining a roster of skilled and dedicated members focused on succeeding in current raiding content. Our goal is to fill those vacant spots and be back to progression in the next 1-2 weeks, and to contiune though Cataclysm at a quick, steady pace.

CURRENT PROGRESSION (25):
Horde-first Cho'gall (25): Feb. 22, 2011

Blackwing Descent (25): 5/6
Bastion of Twilight (25): 4/4*
Conclave of Wind (25): 1/2

What does Virulent offer its raiders?
-Serious progression raiding in a structured, organized, and mature raiding environment
-Respect for members regardless of rank
-Raid Flasks/Feasts
-Guild Repairs when working on progression
-Friendship (Cheesy, but we'd much rather raid with people we enjoy with than those without a personality) *Negative attitudes need not apply.
-Free guild bank enchants for PVE gear

We are currently actively recruiting:
-Ranged DPS: 2-3
(Spriest, Hunter, Warlock, Ele Shaman)*

- Healer: 1
(Holy Priest)

-Melee DPS: 2-4
(Feral Druid, Fury Warrior, Enhance Shaman, Rogue (2))*

-Tank Position: 1
(Warrior, Pally)

* If you have a DPS main spec/Heal or Tank off-spec would definitely be a bonus (especially if you are confident playing either spec)

If your class/spec is not listed, but you are an exceptional player, we would still like you to apply--if you're a good player and we have an available spot to fit your role, we're interested in recruiting you regardless of class and spec.

We ask that all applicants demonstrate the following:

Motivation
Competence
Skill and Knowledge of their Class
Move out of fire/purple circles/spinning mobs/patches of ice, don't stand in front of the boss, watch the tail, and know how to put gems in sockets and enchantments on gear

Please keep in mind that gear does not equate to skill and gear score is meaningless, but we are looking for people that are prepared to raid (ie. Enchants, proper gems, reforging, etc).

While requiring exceptional performance from its raiders, Virulent is formed on the basis of treating its members with respect and fairness. Drama will not be tolerated.

Raid Schedule:

Monday - 7:45pm (invites) - Midnight Server Time (EST)
Tuesday - 7:45pm (invites) - Midnight Server Time (EST)
Thursday - 7:45pm (invites) - Midnight Server Time (EST)

For a maximum of 12 hours per week - The majority of our core has 100% attendance, while this isn't a requirement (75%) we are looking for people that can make the majority of raids barring emergencys, unexpected absence, etc. Real life happens and we understand that. This also helps us keep our roster smaller and while there still maybe 1-2 stand-by a night, we also try to ensure that the same person is not always sat and that everyone gets equal raiding time.

*If you are interested in the guild and feel you can't make the raid schedule but would be interested in a more back-up/part-time postion please feel free to contact an officer in-game and we would be happy to discuss the possible options with you.

Loot Rules:

A transparent EPGP system has been implemented for 25 mans, awarding raiders for effort, and with a 10% decay in order to keep loot distribution fair amongst all members, old and new.

To apply, please visit our website at virulentguild.com/forums or contact Lichborne (GM) or Sëraphyn/Seraphÿn in-game with any questions or concerns.
