About us: Raidlax is open to members of any guild and/or server.
Currently, most of us are from the Earthen Ring/Darkmoon Faire server, however you don't need to change guild or server to raid with us. You do however, need to prioritize our raids over others.
We aim at clearing current raid content on heroic mode, preferably before the inevitable nerfs. With just two raid nights per week, we often need to prioritize progress (wiping) over farming.
We raid Wednesday and Sunday from 20.00 to no later than 23.30 server time. Most raids end by 2300 though.
We use personal loot and roll on unwanted items. When gearing up, we will also occasionally distribute loot according to where it will be the biggest upgrade or prioritize tanks.
Our raids have a relaxed, friendly atmosphere but we talk about being terrible and how to fix it if we are being terrible at something. We also try not to waste each others' time by showing up late or unprepared for raids or by going AFK outside of scheduled breaks.
We’re a rather small, active group of players. Some have raid experience back to classic content, some started raiding in Legion. We span at least 30 years from the youngest to the oldest member. We have diverse life-styles and world-views. You are required to respect that.
About you: what we're looking for in new recruits can pretty much be divided into four areas
Social skills: No drama, raging, whining or bigotry. As mentioned, we generally have a relaxed, friendly, practically civilized, atmosphere in our raids. It is hard to tell beforehand how we mesh of course. Everyone wants to raid with mature, socially apt people and everyone would like to think they meet those criteria themselves.
Attendance: Our raids should be your priority over other wow activities. Raid progress kills should be in our raids only.
You should be able to attend the majority of our raids when things are otherwise normal in your life. Of course, holidays, exams, fml moments and so on are exceptions but on a regular month with 9 raids, you should attend at least 5 of them.
Class performance: You need a good understanding of how your main spec works and must be able to translate that into a decent output during raids. Ideally, new members should improve our overall dps/healing once they’ve caught up in terms of gear and raid experience - and gotten some input from our veterans on how to improve.
Use consumables and gear enhancements and take responsibility for having this covered before raid start. Use raid logs and modify your UI to improve your performance.
We can help you with all of the above but the initiative and effort to make it happen has to come from you.
Raid awareness: This is a pretty broad category that includes using our forums regularly to know fight mechanics and our tactics - and then translating that knowledge into awesome execution during raids. Raid logs and UI tweaks will help you in that area as well.
This area does require some time and effort outside raids but it is mandatory to passing your trial.
