Who we are:

With Truth and Courage is recruiting skilled players to round out our Mythic core for Legion. Originally from Bonechewer, the guild went on hiatus for most of HFC before recently reforming on Illidan. The raid lead and officer core are long time players who were 13/13M HFC.

WTaC seeks to foster a mature, laid-back, low-drama raid team. While we are not chasing world or US rankings, we are committed to swift progression through current and future content.

Our Beliefs:

- Raid mechanics and teamwork kill bosses.
Mythic raiding is rewarding because it requires the cooperative efforts of 20 individuals. At some point we may outgear the fights as they were designed, but that is not the goal. Research the fights, watch your feet, listen to the Raid Leader, and bosses will die. Mechanics beat parses, and the raid is greater than any one individual.

- Raid smart - not long.
Raiding twice a week does not mean casual. We will accomplish in 8 hours what others guilds do in 9 - 12 by raiding efficiently and maximizing our time during raid. That means starting promptly, minimizing down time, adhering to break timers, and staying focused.

- Consistency is key.
One of the biggest challenges to steady progression is the constant introduction of new raiders. Maintaining a consistent raid team enables us to focus on new content - not farm bosses.

We understand that real life takes precedence over WoW, but remember that 19 people count on you to be present and prepared. We ask that raiders commit to 90% attendance and to notify us immediately of any absences or delays.

In return, we commit to bringing core raiders to raid. We believe in building our raid strategies around our raid comp – not the reverse. Kills may sometimes take longer, but we will build teamwork, gear our core, and emerge stronger. People who consistently perform will consistently play.

- Stay focused. Stay positive.
Like all guilds, we will inevitably face periods of tension and frustration as we progress through new content. What differentiates us from the rest is how we handle these difficulties.

Each raid, we will take a 15-minute break, planned strategically around our wipes and kills. This gives everyone a chance to decompress, grab a snack, etc. and review logs/strategies for areas of opportunity.

We believe in maintaining a positive attitude while remaining focused on the task at hand. We will address issues swiftly and to the best of our abilities, though sometimes this will be outside of raid. We do not believe in shaming raiders or unnecessarily compromising group morale when most issues can be addressed privately and constructively.

- Always strive to be better.
Even the best players have room to grow. This means taking the initiative to review your logs, research your class, and gear outside of raid. The officer core may contact you privately with suggestions or constructive criticism. We ask that you take these conversations as they are intended – our attempt to help you and the raid become stronger.

Loot:

Loot will be distributed via a Loot Council system. Loot is awarded based on a number of considerations, some of which include: Raid comp and current needs, player attendance, size of the upgrade, player attitude, time since last upgrade, and player performance. All factors are considered thoughtfully, and gear is distributed as fairly as possible.

If you have concerns about how loot was distributed, we ask that you contact an officer privately outside of raid. Minimizing disruptions during raid time will ensure that more bosses will die, and more loot will drop.

Requirements:

All raiders must have Discord and a working microphone. We also require the following add-ons: Deadly Boss Mods / Bigwigs, Exorsus Raid Tools, and RC Loot Council.

Application Process:

Interested parties should submit an application via our guild website (wtac.enjin.com). Once approved, there is a 2 – 3 week trial period to ensure you and the guild are a mutual fit. During that period, you will be eligible for loot, though priority will go to our established Core Raiders.

If you have questions or would like to chat before submitting an application, please add Kalah#1269 or JokerSanity#1666.

Hope to hear from you soon!
