The Slax
About Us
Teh Slax is an old school raiding guild that has its roots in
farming Molten Core before Blackwing Lair was even tested. Our core
team has been playing together for over nine years, and we are now
mostly in our late 20s and early 30s with careers, families, and
other hobbies outside the World of Warcraft. We are looking for
like-minded individuals who share our ambition to raid at a high
level on a light-weight schedule.
Schedule:
Our main raids run Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 7:45 PM:
the first pull starting at 8 PM and the last pull at 11 PM. We
maintain a regular schedule of two nights of required Mythic
progression, with one night of (optional) farm raids once Blackrock
Foundry unlocks. Our members also host an informal weekend normal/
heroic Highmaul raid open to casual members, friends, pugs, and
alts.
Why Slax?
We are dedicated to making the most of our short raid hours, and
enjoy the unique culture our guild has established over our 9 years
together. All of our members have experienced the burnout that
comes with hardcore raiding firsthand, as well as the thrill of
playing at a high level. We believe a focused raiding environment
with a manageable schedule is the best way to balance our enjoyment
of the game with our real lives. It is a great feeling to clear the
hardest content in the game early in the week and still have the
weekend afterwards to just “slax” -- whether that’s out of game
with friends and family or in-game on our offnight runs.
We are currently getting started on Mythic progression, and we’re
looking for players at a similar point in their progression. Beyond
that, here’s a few things we’re looking for in our new members:
- Experienced with current raids on Heroic difficulty. Previous
Mythic experience is a bonus, but not a strict requirement. If you
have logs from current content, we’d love to see them.
- Available twice per week for our Mythic raid nights on Tuesdays
and Wednesdays.
- Up-to-date on theory and practice for your role, your class, and
the raid encounters at hand. Our raid members are expected to play
with a high degree of initiative and independence as we do not use
voice communication.
- We are relaxed when it comes to raid times, but not when it comes
to raid performance. This means being able to give and take
constructive feedback on your raid performance: both positive and
negative. We expect our members to have a “progression attitude” by
staying positive and invested even if the raid is having trouble
with an encounter, even if that means wiping for an entire
evening.
What classes we need:
- 2+ Hunters (all specializations)
- 1-2 Paladins (Holy and Retribution, with special consideration
for Protection offspecs)
- 1-2 Monks (Mistweaver and Windwalker, with special consideration
for Brewmaster offspecs)
- 1+ Warlock (all specializations)
- 1+ Warrior (Arms or Fury, with special consideration for
Protection offspecs)
We are interested in anyone who is interested in us, so don’t
hesitate to get in touch even if your class isn’t listed above.
