[H-EU] <Isomorphic> Close-knit Semi-hardcore Raiding Community since day 1

<Isomorphic>

We are an EU-based progression-based guild with a semi-hardcore raiding attitude recruiting for core and secondary positions for ICC 25m HC progression. Our officers/raid leaders are intimately familiar with WotLK content and class metas. We have been together since Day 1 on this server (first as Ever Dream, then Isomorphic after a merge at the start of Ulduar patch), and will be together on Day 365.

Information

If you are looking for a potential core raiding spot in a close-knit and highly social guild that does everything together, this is your opportunity. We are a small guild, where everybody knows everybody, so you'll never feel like a small fish in a big pond.

Our guild focuses on high performance in raids, while utilizing a democratic approach to guild affairs. Our goal is to see ALL of WotLK content, including hard modes and heroic raids, without an overly-serious raid environment. This game is for fun, but we believe pushing the boundaries of our performance in challenging content is the most fun part of the game.

Classes


Having 2+ raid-ready characters is an enormous bonus for applicants. We have no plans whatsoever to maintain more than one 25m HC raid group, so raider flexibility is extremely important to us.

High Demand:


Lower Demand:
Any class geared for end-game progression (6k+ GS)


Full: (no demand)
Death Knight (Frost/Unholy)
Paladin (any spec)
Priest (any spec)

Note: Any players who wish to raid 10m HC on a regular basis and potentially work their way into the 25m roster are welcome to apply. We recommend being at least 5.2k GS before applying.


Application Process


Our application on our Discord is designed to not only understand your experience and play style, but also your ability to learn and grow. We are a close group of friends, and we spend a lot of time creating a very healthy atmosphere with no drama or toxicity. We compete with each other for fun, joke around a lot, yet still behave seriously during progression raids. We want to make sure you'll fit in, so having good gear is just a small part of a bigger whole.

Loot System

We currently use Loot Council to ensure items provide maximum benefit to the raid by prioritizing attendance and performance. We have an extremely detailed and rigorous priority system that is public to every guild member, so there is never any confusion or discussion as to who gets what item and when. We have found that this has entirely eliminated loot drama, and we're proud of our loot council's integrity.

Bump for our first full reset of 25m HC progression. We got 4/5, now working on the tank situation for Anub, getting our Prot Paladins with enough block gear to handle Anub's adds. We were very pleased with the huge damage for Beasts and Jaraxxus, it went super smoothly.

We would have relatively immediate space for a geared Warlock, and maybe a Boomkin. We are bursting at the seams with melee DPS, so unless you're *insanely* experienced and very geared (10k+ DPS), we just don't have room besides a social/filler position.

Bump for new recruitment needs. We need mostly ranged DPS and a Feral Tank (ideally with a geared DPS OS, even better if it's Boomkin but we know that's rare - we just need a big HP tank for some bosses in ICC). However, we have a new spot open for a good Rogue.

We're ideally looking for somebody who is looking for a home for the rest of the server. Most people in this guild have been here for a long time, and have no plans of going anywhere soon. Our progression is going well, we're happy with our roster, there's just those few spots opening here and there due to people not being able to play anymore, playing Shadowlands instead, etc.

A good Rogue, a good Feral, and a good Afflic/Demo Warlock would be excellent permanent additions to our roster. See our Discord for more info.

As the holidays approach, we're raiding on a modified schedule until ICC comes out on 2 January, when we'll likely be doing 10m runs on Saturday, and resuming our normal 25m progress on Sunday, 3 January.

ICC will present new challenges, and we know there will always be changes to adapt to. If you do not see your class immediately listed, but feel like you could be an asset to a guild that will eventually kill LC HC before the server resets, please apply anyways.

ICC is off to a good start! Our first SM recipient just got enough primos to get his Shadow's Edge, and the second is gathering now.

Our 10m groups are working on LK before we can start HC modes, and our 25m group is about to do our first Sindragosa pull tomorrow, where we expect to have her down so we can start pushing for Kingslayer.

We've found that most fights are relatively easy, with just Putricide proving a bit tricky to navigate, and Blood Queen having some tight margins, but otherwise we're extremely satisfied with progress so far. Deathbringer Saurfang was much easier than we expected, so that was nice. Once LK is down we'll start immediately with some HC modes, including Marrowgar and Lootship.

We're looking at the possibility of one of our core HPal healers leaving the game, so we're looking to replace him with somebody who can maintain 90% attendance and match/outperform his ability. We'd prefer an HPal with Ret OS, with a gearscore around 5400 at least (Ret OS can be like 5200 or so, as you won't be playing Ret that often).

Lich King is finally dead, and we got Lord/Gunship/DBS/Valithria HC down on our first night of HC progression!

We're still recruiting, particularly for 10m HC groups. We do 10m HC on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and on Thursdays as well if we fully clear on Monday (on an alt/split run). High performers in 10m will likely be invited to 25m once an opening appears.

One spot in 25m we haven't filled yet is Resto Druid. A qualified RDruid could find themselves with an immediate raid spot.


Things are looking good!

We're at 6/12 HC - Marrowgar, ICG, DBS, Rotface, Festergut, Valithria. We're working on BQL and Sindy before PP, but we could really use a Resto Druid that has a geared Boomkin spec.

We'd be asking this candidate to play either Resto or Boomkin, depending on the fight. We usually go with 4 healers, but fights like BQL/Sindy/PP HC are really good for RDruid, so that's what we'd like to have.

We know it's a lot to maintain 2 geared sets, but it's what we currently need given our roster, and of course this person would treat both specs as Main Spec with our loot system.

PP/BQL/Sindy HC are down! We're pushing LOD this lockout, got within a few % of phase 3, so we're almost there!

After LOD, it is very likely that we'll have some members retire, so spots across the board could be opening up. We're currently interested in ICC HC-geared and EXPERIENCED players who would be interested in LOD runs until the server ends.
