<Essence> is an exceptionally time-efficient Horde guild on Sunstrider EU that aims for cutting edge progression whilst raiding just 6 hours per week even during progression. Having emerged during Highmaul in Warlords of Draenor, we have quickly established ourselves as one of the best 2 day a week guilds in the world.

Why Us?

In Essence we are a sociable, talented and multinational team that speaks English, but I think what really sets us apart from the rest is our non-elitist and friendly community style atmosphere that surrounds the guild, both in and outside of raids at this level of progression.

A vast majority of our members are mid-twenties with most of us holding down demanding jobs, education or family commitments amongst other responsibilities. Most of us simply do not have the time to play the game like we once did but still want to experience raiding at the highest level.

Our primary goal is being time-efficient and our recent exploits in T17, T18 & T19 while the content was current has gone a long way to demonstrate that we can achieve that. So despite our casual raiding schedule we expect our members to make the most of their characters and execute them well in raids. Many of our raiders routinely rank orange for their class on Warcraft Logs though we value strong situational awareness more and are always looking for ways to improve.

Like every guild we're always on the lookout for exceptional players who are willing to compete and earn a spot within our raiding lineup - so even if we're not advertising your class above, it is always worth asking especially if you think Essence is the right guild for you.

What you can expect from us

We know the decision of picking the right guild is important to you, so here are some of the best reasons to be a part of Essence:

  • Focused high-end raiding environment on a tight schedule. Raid smarter not harder.
  • A raiding spot, we don't recruit for the bench as we keep a small but active roster.
  • A stable place to call home, we are here for the long haul.
  • We take raiding passionately and progress rapidly but remain true to our core values of having fun and keeping a calm atmosphere.
  • We have strong and stable leadership who know how to run a guild well.
  • We offer you a social community of likeminded players.
  • You can expect a calm, and respectful tone at all times. We always welcome thoughts, ideas and strategies from our members and treat each other with equal respect.
  • We know we will wipe and have setbacks, sometimes it might be your fault and it’s the way we deal with those negative circumstances that set us apart from the rest.
  • We have a plethora of other activities and games we play outside of raiding. These include league of legends, rocket league, transmogrification competitions and many more.

What we expect from you

  • We expect our raiders to stay current with theorycrafting and to maximise performance in every possible way. We highly value players with strong situational awareness that can avoid boss mechanics on a consistent basis. If this sounds like you keep reading!
  • From the GM down to trial members, we earn respect by giving equal respect.
  • Very high attendance & stable connection as we only raid twice a week.
  • Significant preparation for new bosses we face by researching new encounters.
  • Sign up to raids on the calendar, turning up on time is equally as important and do not randomly AFK in raids or be back late from breaks.
  • Be prepared with the best available consumables, enchants & gems.
  • Read our guild forums weekly and have a working microphone for TS3.
  • We seek players who understand there is no ‘I’ in ‘Team’. Raiding is a collective effort.

Gear is not everything; we value the qualities of an individual over gear. We invest in people, not item level.
