“Calamity” Guild

Calamity is a mature progressive guild on Mal'Ganis Horde who will be focusing on Cataclysm content. The Guild Master and Officers have experience in top raiding guilds and competitive progression as well as experience in leading successful raids and guild. A sample of our guild members and officer accomplishments include, but is not limited to:

- Server first Obsidian Sanctum 3 drake 10 man (non-zerg)
- Server first Eye of Eternity
- Server first Malygos five minute kill
- Server first Yogg-Saron normal mode
- Server first glory of the raider 10 man



Since forming at the beginning of October 2010, Calamity as a guild has progressed through 12/12 ICC, 4/4 Ruby Sanctum and 7/12 hardmodes in only 2 complete raiding weeks as an entire guild and are quickly increasing our raid cohesion and progression. With the right additional members we will be 12/12 HM within the next couple of weeks.

What is unique about Calamity is that it is oriented around successful progression of the guild as a whole, not of individual members. In doing so, it means that each individual member will better themselves at a faster pace. This also means that Calmity will operate on a completely mature and objective Loot Council to ensure that the loot which is distributed by Calamity will directly influence the maximum performance of that gear (ie. the raider who attends all raids, keeps their gear gemmed and enchanted and performs well will have priority). This idea is similar to DKP without the ability to hoard and means that if you are dedicated to their guild, you will receive the best gear in order to directly benefit the continuous progression of the raid.

Calamity has zero tolerance for drama and expects their members to present themselves and the guild as friendly, mature, knowledgeable and skilled without ever being elitist or rude to World of Warcraft Players inside or outside of the guild.

Calamity has ventrillo (which is a requirement), a website and 4 bank tabs (more to come as needed). Core raid members have free repairs during progression and access to gems and enchants for their gear they receive during raids, as well as other mats which will contribute to raid performance.

Raids will be three days a week. To ensure that Calamity raiders are able to participate in progression without sacrificing their real life obligations, there are three options for raid times:

- Group 1: Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Mondays 6pm-10pm server time
- Group 2: Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays 9pm-2am server time
- Casual/Substitute raiders: bounce back and forth between group 1 and group 2 as needed and available.



Calamity is currently recruiting 1 tank, 2 ranged dps, 2 melee dps and 1 dps with healing offspec for our raid group 2 (fridays, saturdays, sundays 9pm-2am server time.)

Calamity's raid ethics are built on the following principles. Please ensure you agree with these ethics prior to applying:

- To always better yourself as a progression raider: to read up on your class, roll and the fights we are progressing in and stay up to date on necessary information

- To always show up prepared and ready for first pull on or before raid start time

- To always maintain awareness of your surroundings (ie. don't stand in fire)

- To always learn from your mistakes

- To always think of the raid progression as a whole and not the individual player

- To always represent the guild in a positive manner to all other players of the wow community.
