“Valiant” Guild

Solid applicants of any class and spec will be seriously considered. What we are typically looking for in applicants are:

- Solid DPS (e.g. 80%+ of rank without scumbagging)
- Strong DPS hybrids (DPS/Heal or DPS/Tank, not Tank/Heal)

Like most raids, we generally have a preference for ranged DPS. Good melee apps are always welcome, but will be judged against a higher standard.

Valiant is a 20 player Mythic raid guild that puts in 3 focused nights for a total of 9 hours a week. This is a light raiding schedule compared to many, yet in that time we clear a lot of content.

For raiders with more time on their hands & our social members, we normally start arranging weekend alt raids later in each tier. Our long history & diverse member base also means we're an active guild with people online nearly 24/7.

Valiant has been a raid guild for 8 years now, originally forming as a CST timezone guild on Khaz'goroth (Oceanic) before transferring to Blackhand in late Burning Crusade. We spent our first 6 years raiding the 25 player format before shifting to 2x 10 player raids for MoP. With a re-combined 20 player Mythic group we're looking forward to using this depth of experience in WoD.

So if you feel that you are an exceptional player, you like to read about boss strategy and watch frapped videos for fun, if you like to min-max, if you farmed like mad for your Darkmoon card, or if you just like to be good at what you do then you'll find others like yourself in Valiant.

Who are we...

- We are a mature end game raiding guild. Minimum age rules are in effect
- We aim for steady progression based on a reasonable raid schedule. Quick focused pulls and an adaptable raid are more fun than countless hours of inefficient grinding.
- We are a mythic oriented guild. We do not run normal or heroic content during main raid hours, except during early gearing stages
- We are not a high turnover guild. We have been a guild for over 8 years (founded in Oct '06)

What are our raid start times?

- Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday, 8pm - 11pm CST
- An optional social/alt/gearing run on Saturdays (normal or heroic), from 8pm CST
- Depending on demand from the raid members, we may irregularly do an additional night. This is more likely at the start of a tier.

What we want from you..

- Ventrilo (microphone strongly preferred as well)
- Raid mods: Omen, DBM/BigWigs. WeakAuras 2 is stronglyrecommended.
- Ability to follow the raid/role leader's instructions, accept guidance and direction
- A stable connection. If you disconnect from the game or Internet regularly you should upgrade with your ISP before applying.
- Dedication to the success of the guild. This includes equipping yourself outside raids (running normals/heroics or crafting upgrades where appropriate), farming potions/consumables, having the required mods installed and functioning, etc.
- "Never Give Up" attitude. Some encounters will be a learning phase where wipes are common. We want players that are focused and determined.

What we don't want from you...

- Inactivity without prior notice
- Drama
- Coming to raids unprepared. (i.e with inadequate potions/flasks or having not read the boss strategy)
- Arrogance (If you think you're the best, actions speak louder than words)

What you get if you join...

- Current loot distribution is EPGP for mythic content, and either personal or mainspec prioritized roll for normal/heroic
- A mature guild with focus, talent and direction
- Mentoring available if required for successful applicants. We expect our members to commit to the guild and in return the guild commits to its members
- Members are allowed alts within the guild
