“Winterborne” Guild

About Winterborne:

Winterborne is currently a progression oriented 25 man guild,

We have been doing 25 man content since April 17th, 2012 with a completely rebuilt roster. On June 7th 2012 we cleared 8/8 HM 25 man, with killing Madness the same day that we first pulled it.
We had been doing 25 man HM content for 3 months. We cleared 8/8 HM 25 in less than 2 months from the date we rebuilt, while only raiding 12 hours week.
With MoP's release, we cleared 11/16 HM in T14 whilst working on strengthening our core, and building up our raid roster with strong players who have the same commitment and dedication to raiding as the officers.
Currently in T15, We've still been around for less than a year, and we are currently 1/13 HM 25, and comfortably resting around the US 100 (25) rankings.
We're always looking for strong(er) players to improve our Roster and push further into Heroic Raiding content.

Raid Schedule:

We raid Monday through Thursday from 8:30PM CST until 11:30PM CST (3 hours a day, 12 hours a week). We raid 4 days a week, because progression is better than sleep. If your priorities are different, there are other guilds that have a more casual attitude towards raids. Personally, I think 4 is pretty casual.

Days/Times are subject to change based on the raids requirements/desires as we build up.


Recruitment

What we typically look for in a potential recruit is a number of factors. The ability to think on your feet, and adjust to unforseen problems is highly valued. Previous heroic mode experience is a plus, as is, Wrath, BC and Vanilla raid experience(when it was current). Appropriate level gear for the content we're currently raiding is mandatory. If you're not geared for the content, you're not going to be brought in.

We expect recruits to be fully enchanted, gemmed, specced, glyphed, and bring their own consumables. It's sad that this needs to be stated in writing, but you'd be surprised how many applicants don't have this.

Raid Environment

I push my raiders hard. Not all of them can handle it. If you don't have thick skin, you won't make it. If you can't do what you're told, you won't last. If someone else can do your job better than you, you'll be bored on the bench.
We have a very straightforward policy when it comes to raid. We like to joke around and have a good time, however when it comes to progression, we buckle down and focus. 12 Hours a week is a very limited time, so we like to get what we can done as quickly as possible and utilize the time that we have to the best of our ability.
