“Santa Maria” Guild

[H] Santa Maria - Kazzak - 3d/wk, Late night

ABOUT US
Santa Maria is a tight-knit raiding guild and also dabbles casually in PvP. The guild was created in 2009 and our core 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 7+ 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.



RECRUITING
We are once again open for some recruitment:

1x Healer: need to replace an injured person (who will be stopping after ToS anyway)!!
1x Ranged DPS: preference for boomkin/lock/mage

Please poke an officer in game if you would like more info or are interested in joining our guild.

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.



MEDIA

GUILD PHILOSOPHY
In SM, we do our best to be clear of 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 consensus+ a loot council when needed, where we require our raiders to create and maintain "BiS-lists" to aid in loot distribution. This helps allocating loot to those who can make the most out of it.

Finally, we have a number of strong personalities and old raiders/social members who are regularly active in the guild (and who love to troll as you may see in your application). Therefore we require that all members integrate socially into the guild to maintain an enjoyable guild atmosphere. However, please don't mistake the fun we have for a lax raiding attitude.



RAIDING SCHEDULE (all times Server Time i.e. CET):
- Thursday 21:00-24:00
- Sunday 21:00-24:00
- Monday 21:00-24:00

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.
