“archetype” Guild

Who are we?

Archetype is a start-up guild looking for quality players who are coming back to the game, beginning their raiding careers, or want a fresh start for Warlords of Draenor. We are looking for players who are willing to learn the game in its current state and who are dedicated to playing the game competitively in the near future with WoD. Our raid leaders have successfully created and lead a guild similar to this structure at WotLK's launch; Three of which has cleared all content in the game every expansion with experience of raid leading a top 50 US 25man raid for 3+ years.

Our current raid planned raid times are Friday and Saturday evenings between 9pm-1am central time. Adding Sunday is not out of the question if it is desired and in our favor to do so.

What are we looking for?

Archetype is looking for any player who wants to take a serious step into high-end raiding. We welcome newer players looking for a challenge, veterans coming back to the game who want to continue where they left off, or even players who want a fresh start for the new expansion. The only thing we ask is that you are dedicated and willing to put the required effort it takes for any member of a heroic/mythic raiding guild to be successful. We don't expect perfection or the highest item level during the building phase of our raid core, but we expect players to come in with egos cast aside and an open mind ready to establish chemistry and bondage with fellow raiders as well as the mindset of progression and the pursuit of perfection.

Our evaluation trial period will last 4-8 weeks depending on role. More critical roles such as tank or healer might take longer for us to make a final decision.

Currently we are still building our core, and we clear normal on 10man weekly with pug players filling our current gaps. We plan on advancing to 25man normal once we have the sustainable roster, and begin tackling heroic modes very soon after in preparation for Warlords. Our expectations for this building phase are for it to take a while, but once we get a solid and sustainable roster with good recruitment flow then tackling 25man normal and initial heroic bosses will follow soon after.

What do you need to know?

We use mumble for voice communication. We expect raiders and trials to be online before the scheduled raid time so that we begin pulling promptly at 9pm. With this being an 8-hour schedule, we cannot afford downtime and we require that everyone comes fully prepared to efficiently progress on content during our raiding hours.

We use need before green rolls currently in our 10-man group with some pugs, but once we have a full roster loot council will reside. If we cannot decide between multiple players then random rolls will occur.

In regards to legendary cloaks, we expect players who have not obtained it to do their due diligence and progress towards it every week. It should not take more than 3 months from start to finish with current content and drop rates.

Where do we go from here?
