[EU] [FG] [Raid] Recruiting

Fractal Guild [FG]

Despite our guild name – which is a remnant of the past – we are a group of players focusing on consistent weekly clears of any existing and future raid content.

We have started our raid activity at the first day of Spirit Vale release and have been successfully conquering raid content since then without skipping a single reset. We have completed all raid challenges like most recent “Voice in the Void”, older “Demon’s Demise” or minor ones like “Slippery Slubling” and will make sure to complete all new challenges coming in the future raids!

Looking for

We do not post this LFG often, in fact - last time it was posted more than a year ago (on the old forums) and since then we had the same team running every week until now. So more than anything else - we are looking for reliable players who can dedicate their effort and time to consistently clear all existing raid encounters, conquer new ones in the future, execute challenging raid achievements and sometimes also dedicate a bit of extra time to test out new boss strategies when it is needed and generally - be part of our team.

Regarding the class/spec - I can't give you a clear statement like "we need X, Y and Z" - because it wouldn't be true as we can fill-in pretty much any setup gap as almost everyone in the group have multiple raid-ready support and DPS characters, so its not about what "we need", but more about "what you can offer?". Balance is constantly shifting and something that was good and favored yesterday might not be so favored tomorrow, so we want you to be agile with your class and specialization choices. In fact, it is not really that hard with all the gear sources available in-game and all the old raid encounters where you can polish your new class and specialization skills easily.

Goals

Quite a few people misunderstand the goals of our raid group, so I would like to explicitly specify those. That might be important for people looking for a slightly or totally different experience with raids.

Our main goals as a group are:

• Consistent (all bosses), fast (<2.5h) and safe (<1-2 wipes) clears of all raid wings on weekly basis
• Efficient and fast conquering of the new raids and raid achievements
• Chilled, layed-back atmosphere in our runs

We are not looking for extra challenges that do not give appropriate rewards for our effort, so this is what we are not going to do at any point:

• Execute any extremely “glass” strategies if we are not ready for it
• Attempt any kind of record runs that put extra stress on the team
• Attempt any low-man boss kills

Let me emphasize first point again – we are against “glass” strategies which could fail miserably due to either RNG factors or encounter environment. That being said, we are never against improving to make our boss kills easier and faster, so you are always free to offer any kinds of strategy, setup or build improvements we could implement in our runs.

If you don’t like how anything mentioned above sound – we are certainly not the guild you are looking for.

Schedule

Our raid times are (UTC):

• Saturday 19:00 – raids clear, currently the only active day
• Tuesday, Friday 19:00 – additional two set raid days for new wing releases
• Thursday, Sunday – possible extra raid days for new wing releases, depends on people availability

Communication

We are not a pug group, so you must be able to listen and speak in English in TS3 – it is crucial for us being a successful raid team. Your English doesn’t need to be even close to perfect, but we want you to be able to communicate with everyone on the team with voice and not just in-game chat.

Experience

It is very important for us to know that you have put effort into building your characters, perfecting your gear, sharpening your combat skill and, most importantly, gaining experience with all existing boss encounters, so we do expect you to know how to efficiently use classes and specializations you are applying with on the boss encounters you would normally play those classes on.

Gear

It is a known fact that full ascended gear is not necessary for clearing the raids, not even close actually. But we do want all members to be around the same skill and gear level so no one would feel that he is carrying someone or being carried through the raid encounters, that is why full ascended gear with correct stats, runes and sigils is a must for all our core raid members.

Having a full set of appropriate stat infusions is not required but is appreciated and will be taken into account. That of course doesn't include builds that require infusions for capping important stats like the current scourge build.

What do we offer?

Since our requirements are, generally speaking, quite high - I think it is important to mention what we could offer you in return as a guild:

• Friendly atmosphere with a slight bit of competitive spirit on all of our runs
• Fast and easy clears of every raid wing every week without any exceptions
• Opportunity to get clears if you are unable to join us on a set day due to an emergency
• Opportunity to get new raid bosses kills right on the release day
• Help with any builds, gear, in-game content, achievements, questions etc.
• Maxed out Guild Hall with full access to all vendors, buffs and dozens of decorations if that is your thing

These are the most important benefits, but there surely is more :)

Applying

If you would like to apply – PM me (Wiella) or Jay Em (Guild Leader) here or in-game:

• Wiella.8567
• Jay Em.5128

We will contact you as soon as possible.

After a short interview with me and Jay – if you pass it – you will be joining one of our clear runs where your skill, performance and class knowledge will be evaluated.

Our next raid is scheduled for May 19 (Saturday) - the trial spot is still open!
