Quintessence @ US-Duskwood

<Quintessence> is very interested in exceptional players. Currently, we're a new-ish-ly formed 10 person raid team, planning on being a (20 person) mythic team, come patch 6.0. Current best progression (as a guild) is 8/14 SoO heroic (with best individual progression @ 11/14 heroic).

Highlights of who we are, current accomplishments, and future plans:

- Current strongest needs are healers and ranged dps. Exceptional players of all specs are still wanted.
- Officers are Fekineejit (GM), Itsygo, Embermoon, and Dalok.
- Raid team's average age is probably 30-ish.
- Current raid times are Tues & Thurs, 9 pm EST to 11:30 pm EST.
- As a guild, Garrosh 10 was downed on normal, on the guild's 4th night of attempts.
- Immerseus heroic down on 3rd night of attempts. Norushen heroic down on 2nd night of attempts. Protectors down on 2nd night of attempts. Sha down on 3rd night of attempts. Galakras down on 2nd night of attempts. Iron Juggernaut down on the 3rd night of attempts. Dark Shamans down on 1st night of attempts. Nazgrim down on 1st night of attempts. More to fall, soon!
- Recruiting is going well, and we seek to overcome absent main raiders, with more people. (Amazing concept, right?) More people also means we'll hopefully be able to start forming a second guild run (normal 10 SoO).
- Skilled players. I've been very impressed by the skill of our team. We all still have room for improvement, but the positive team effort is there, and our main raiders are all working on improving their gear, outside of scheduled guild raids. Average ilvl of raiding member is currently at least 568.
- Current loot is master loot (MS > OS > xmog). Future loot method may change, per guild needs.
- Plan is in place, for managing the "in-between" time of 10 man heroic raid progression, and 6.0 20 man mythic. This means that we're going to use the best team for progression, and then rotate folks to get experience and gear, while recruiting enough people to also get a 2nd weekly normal mode raid going. We're putting raids on openraid, to fill any empty spots.
- Plan for WoD is to embrace "10 plus" heroic (read: what is now called "normal") raid structure, which will easily lead into a 20 man mythic team.
- Raiders are expected to have an OpenRaid account. Raid signups are done on openraid.us.
- Raiders are expected to be in vent.
- Raiders are expected to have at least silver on proving grounds, for their main role.
- Raiders are expected to seek to improve their gear, outside of raids. That means weekly valor capping, plus having the legendary cloak, plus killing Celestials and Ordos every week, until there are no possible upgrades. It also means attempting to find spots in OpenRaid groups, when lockouts permit, and upgrades are available.

Contact us, in-game, with any questions. Going forward, we'll be doing a brief Q&A/interview in vent, for interested prospective raiders. My btag is Embermoon#1802.
