“Occasional Excellence” Guild

Note from the GM: Recruitment needs were updated on 10/13/18. We have had immense success through the first several weeks of Mythic Uldir, continuing our legacy of being one of the most time-efficient progression teams in the world. We are excited to announce that we will be opening recruitment for a limited number of spots, with an emphasis on ranged dps classes.

Additionally, though not indicated by our needs above, some former raiders have started a second progression team within the OE community, adopting the name OE2. It is led by like-minded individuals and includes former OE progression raiders as well as a bunch of talented people that used to raid on teams akin to ours, among them former 2-night powerhouses Full Spectrum and Good Talk/Despotism. This team raids on Friday/Sunday evenings, is in its infancy, and will be transitioning from Heroic content to Mythic raiding shortly. It's a great opportunity to get a shot with a very promising team early in its development. Please contact Rythgar or Jariyah (Jariyah#1831) for more information.

As our recruitment needs change, we will update our priorities here, and we will also make an announcement on our Community Discord. You are welcome to join us there and/or as a social member on server at any time! We look forward to meeting you.

GUILD INFORMATION

<<Occasional Excellence – Quality Raiding on a Casual Schedule>>

Occasional Excellence (OE) is a Mythic progression raiding guild on Turalyon. We are a hardcore progression guild on a casual (7 hour) schedule that believes in raiding smarter, not harder. We are one of the Top 3 two-night guilds in the US and one of the most time-efficient raid teams in the world.

If you have strong situational awareness, know your class inside and out, and enjoy raiding in a friendly environment, OE might be the place for you! Check us out at http://www.occasional-excellence.us. Alternatively, contact Ovy (Ovy#11867), Rev (Rev#1935), or any of our members in game with any questions.

<<Raid Schedule>>

OE has two core raid nights per week – Tuesdays and Wednesdays 8:00pm to 11:30pm EST. We do not extend past those hours at launch or for progression.

OE2, our newly formed second progression team, has two core raid nights per week - Fridays 8pm-12pm EST and Sundays 7pm-10pm EST.

In addition to our Mythic teams, we are altaholics, who commonly run Flex 30 content and lots of Mythic+ on off nights. We have a standing alt run on Sunday evenings that has been successful for years and is a great opportunity to get to know some of the team. Check our discord for sign ups each week.

<<About Us>>

Occasional Excellence is a group of adult, mature raiders that share a common vision: a skilled, progression raiding environment with a reasonable raiding schedule. We take raiding seriously and progress quickly, but we refuse to lose sight of what’s truly important – having fun and maintaining balance. We are an all adult guild, 18+ required/21+ preferred. We have grown up together playing WoW, with an average age of late 20s/early 30s.

OE guild members are working adults and act like adults. We treat each other with respect, and in doing so, earn it. From the raid leader down to trial members, you can expect a calm, cool, and collected demeanor and a respectful tone at all times. If you enjoy linking meters and raging at team members during progression, then this guild is NOT for you. If you thrive with a bit of constructive criticism and understand that raiding takes a whole team, not just one elite dps/tank/healer, then keep reading!

OE is a guild comprised of skilled raiders who are experts on their preferred class and often many other classes. We are proud to have several class forum moderators, gaming journalists, simulationcraft class experts, and MDI finalists on our roster. We expect our raiders to remain current with their theorycrafting and to min/max in every reasonable way. Our raiders have strong situational awareness and are always looking for ways to improve.

The combination of this talent and significant preparation before raid has led to a long history of successful raiding, both as a team and as individuals. We consistently progress faster than guilds that almost double our raid hours and many of our core raiders consistently rank in the top 1% of their class on Warcraft Logs, with several regularly placing in the Top 50 parses worldwide.

While we only have two required raid nights, OE is a very active guild on off nights. Our members can be found in Discord chatting, participating in alt raids, running 5 man content, completing achievements, or doing PvP any night/day of the week.

From our experience, we can honestly say that Occasional Excellence is probably unlike any community you have ever been a part of. If it sounds like it might be for you, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us via the website, in game, or on our Discord server (https://discord.gg/YwG7fv8). We look forward to meeting you!
