Dark Union is all about raiding with people who like each other and
that you get to know as friends. We're determined to preserve this
ethos as we expand to do 20-man Mythic raiding. (Heroic experience
NOT required.) If you're looking for a group of like-minded people
you'll enjoy getting to know, while performing at a steady
progression level, please read on!
WHO WE ARE
We're a mature group mostly consisting of professionals &
parents with young children. So we raid late, after the kids are in
bed. Our members range from age 20 to 43, with most in the 30+
range.
Most of us are on a first-name basis and value the other members as
friends, not just as people we raid with. We hang out on Vent a lot
before and after raids, including non-raid days, and enjoy helping
each other with achievements, farming old mounts, or just shooting
the breeze.
Most of all, we're about people. Because raiding isn't really about
classes, or gear, or specs.
Raiding is about people.
RAID TIMES
Currently we raid 10:30 PM – 1:30 AM, Pacific Time, on Wednesday,
Thursday, and Sunday, with Monday as our back-up day. The raid days
may be adjusted to meet the group's needs in Warlords of
Draenor.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
1. Personality is the most important thing. We want mature,
easy-going people who like to have fun.
2. We are a working on heroic (and soon Mythic) raiding guild, so
everybody needs to perform at that level. We're very happy to work
together to bring up our numbers, help with add-ons and macros,
etc. We're happy to take good raiders we like, as long as they're
willing to become great raiders. (We will NOT take raiders we don't
like! We don't care how great they are.)
3. All ages are welcome, but we are mostly an older group.
4. Respect for diversity is a must. People come from different
backgrounds, and we all need to respect that.
5. Please be respectful of others' time! We all have busy lives and
time is at a premium.
6. A background in heroic raiding is very helpful. We're willing to
take raiders without Heroic experience, but please understand that
we won't be bringing you on progression fights until we're
confident in your performance.
7. "Package deals" are welcome, but we will want to look at each
person as an individual.
THE PLAN
As we increase our roster for Mythic raiding, we're going to
preserve what we're about.
We want people who join as people, who like the other people in the
group, who fit in well, and are going to enjoy hanging out with us.
And we need to enjoy hanging out with them!
Since we're going to be very selective about the personalities of
the people we let in (i.e. no jerks allowed!) we're starting
early.
OUR GOAL: To have an integrated team of people who like each other,
get along, and work together as a team by the time the expansion
hits.
In order to achieve this, we will:
1. Look for great people to join us over the next few months.
2. Integrate you fully into our new team.
3. Make sure that everyone knows everyone else. No outsiders, no
stragglers, no "A team / B team".
CLASS NEEDS
Since we need to expand to 20+, there's a lot of open country
regarding what we're looking for. But here are some rough
ideas:
Death Knight: DPS or Blood
Druid: Balance
Hunter: None
Mage: Any
Monk: Mistweaver
Paladin: Prot
Priest: Any
Shaman: None
Warlock: Any
Rogue: None
Warrior: Prot
WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU
Heroic experience is NOT needed, but we do need some sort of
indication that you have the potential to perform at a Heroic
level. So please have either 13/14 Normal, or else a history of
raiding heroic level in prior expansions. Ilvl not important as
long as we can trial you on at least the easiest Heroic fights.
PAST PROGRESSION
T14: 5/16 Heroic
ToT: 2/13 Heroic
SoO: 8/14 H 10 man/ 8/14 H 25 man
HM: 7/7 H, 1/7M
