“Ozymandias” Guild

Who Are We?
Ozymandias is a horde side guild on The Venture Co originally founded at the end of Wrath of the Lich King after the break up of Colossus. We have a relaxed, fun atmosphere and a friendly environment with the benefit of pushing mythic content.

What Are We Doing Now?
We are primarily doing raiding and mythic keystones.

Strong Need
We could use another healer! Our spriest wants to pew pew more and heal heal less.

Average Need
DPS players, particularly paladins and demon hunters. Ranged DPS are also always quite nice! Any player of any role can be useful though and we'd be happy to have you.

Raid Times
Main raid times are as follows :

Monday - 7:30-9:30 (server time) (CST)
Tuesday - 7:30-9:30 (server time) (CST)
Wednesday - 7:30-9:30 (server time) (CST)

Requirements
We require all raiders to install the following :

RCLootCouncil - this is used for extra gear and upgrades as we move to mythic, any personal loot that isn't an upgrade players can volunteer up to the group and we use RCLC to distribute it.

Big Wigs (or DBM) - Hard to dodge mechanics if you don't know when they're happening!

Exorsus Raid Tools - We use this to display raid assignments on
screen.

You will need to use Discord (for voice communications) and have the ability to verbally communicate on it (you may just listen 99.9% of the time, but you must be able to speak if needed in a desperate moment in raid).

What to Expect After Joining
For a minimum of one month, you will be considered a trial. This provides a period to gain you gear and evaluate your performance and attendance. At the end of the month, you will either be promoted, rejected or extended. Extensions will only happen if we were unable to fit you in raid enough times to see how well you do.

How Do We Choose Who Is In The Group For Each Boss?
The officers will decide who we think the top 20 raiders are for each individual Mythic boss encounter for progression fights. Some bosses may favor strong single target or aoe dps, we may have a strong need for specific utility, so the top 20 does vary on a boss by boss basis.

For non-progression bosses, we have additional flexibility based on the loot needs of individuals. For Heroic and below, we -may- take up to 30 players, but if an individual(s) is preforming poorly or holding back the raid from progressing we may ask them to sit for that boss.

How Do We Handle Loot?
For loot which is allowed to be traded, players can choose to keep it or share it as they like. If they choose to share it we use the RCLootCouncil addon to distribute the loot. The entire raid gets to vote in the council if they like.

What do we Expect of our Raiders?

Treat other players with kindness (in and out of the guild). This does not mean you can't make fun of or shit talk people. It does mean that if someone is upset as a result of your actions, you should take steps to correct it.
You are welcome to use vulgar language, but if you start using racial slurs or denigrating speech about marginalized groups that is unacceptable.
We'd like all raiders to either be on time for raid or to let us know if they're gonna be late or can't make it (we have a dedicated channel in the discord for this purpose). We understand that life is full of surprises and that you will miss raids (just let us know so that if enough people can't make it, we can call the raid and give people their time back).
