ABOUT US
Santa Maria is a tight-knit raiding guild. The guild was created in 2009 and some of our members date from pre-WotLK and continue to play today.

We are a group of laid back players who take the game seriously while allowing for real-life. We offer stable leadership (Officers have been guild-mates for many years), solid play from players who know their classes and an engaging and lively guild atmosphere.

We've always been a night guild. We are your average guys/girls who, because of work/family/school commitments, cannot raid during the afternoons/evenings.

We raid three days per week, during which we are focused and prepared to take down anything blizzard throws in our way. We do not do split runs so alts are purely for fun and we do not have any hidden progress hours.
We are open to use alts for progress if they happen to be ready and particulary good for a specific encounter but we do not require any alts from our raiders.

Ideally we are looking for strong players who are interested in progression at a more relaxed pace (and attitude) - particularly those who need to step back from more hardcore raiding owing to life changes.

We do not recruit for "the bench" nor for backup spots.

We aim to keep a roster size of around 25-26 raiders to make sure our raids always run smoothly without cancelled raid nights.


GUILD PHILOSOPHY
In SM, we do our best to be clear on what we plan and what we want. This includes a variety of topics including raid schedule, next progression bosses, recruiting needs, boss strategies, performance discussions, etc.

Because of our light raiding schedule, we believe that preparation outside of the raid instance is equally as important as good performance while raiding. Therefore, it is expected that our raiders stay current on their classes, actively read for tips on encounters, and have a good idea of a progression boss/strategy before we even set foot inside the raid. We value everyone's opinion and encourage open communication among members to try to find good solutions to raid issues, to plan effective loot distribution, etc.

We use loot council to determine where loot is best used for progression. During farm loot is less important and will be handled more relaxed such as simply rolling between the people who need it the most.

We are looking for players who can, more often than not, raid all three regular raid days (real life happens, we get it). Also, if you can't handle being sat as part of a fair raiding rotation or for very specific comp reasons on progress kills, then we aren't the right guild for you.
