Well, I must say, I'm not a fan of recruitment posts and being an RP forum recruiting for a raiding force, but I guess this desolate section of the forum is for raiding.
I say raid force because when SoD formed back in WotLK we had a large portion of our raid force not wish to leave their guild but continue raiding. While guild perks have certainly drawn more to the guild itself, we do still have a few who prefer staying in their other guild. Nothing in raiding forces you to be in the same guild. Therefore this recruitment post isn't for the guild, though that option is always available, but also for the raiding force itself.
Anyone who has done RBGs with us knows the format of invites, it's all done on the calendar, including what the targets are for that night.
We raid 9 hours a week, that is 3 hours on Wednesday, Sunday and Monday though we don't do strict attendances. The times are 20:30-23:30 with a break in between. Note that is WoW time so times will be different in the UK or further east.
While we're not a hardcore raiding guild, we do insist upon proper specs and glyphs, correct enchants, gems and reforging, we tend to have alot of knowledgeable people about their class. Low level gear is something that can be changed, the attitude towards raiding can't be. In terms of the raiding environment, as Raid leader I will be the first to say I can get a bit uptight, however I'm beginning to mellow out more and more. Since a large portion of our team came from guilds such as Highborne and Essence of the Blade, we do expect people to speak properly, and the use of 'lol' is strictly banned under punishment of...something bad. Between pulls were are usually quite laid back.
We expect Ventrillo for raiding at the very least.
Anyway, the situation we find ourselves in at the moment is around 23-27 people per raid, which is slightly below what we would like. On Alliance side at least, we are the only 25 man raiding guild left, sitting at 5/13 atm, 3rd behind Nutz...which is quite disappointing. We've had our problems in this tier but we're looking forward to pushing forwards with 4.2 and the Firelands.
We're currently on the lookout for healers, but the most up to date list is below:
Resto Druid
Resto Shaman
Holy Paladin
Ret Paladin
Protection Paladin (though a Prot Warrior would also do)
DPS DK
Rogue
Elemental Shaman
If you're interested or just want to chat about it, you can speak with myself (Marianna) or Furs, or indeed anyone else, who usually knows if we are around.
