Wined N Dined

(US) Area 52

NOTE: In preparation for Shadowlands, we're currently looking for a skilled, consistent, non-braindead DPS warrior to round out our roster.

About Us:
Wined N Dined is a mythic raiding guild with a casual 2-night per week raid schedule, but a hardcore recruitment policy. Exceptional applicants will always be considered, and any trials that consistently outperform players in our core will be considered for a core spot. Our goal is Cutting Edge while pushing as high of a guild rank as possible on a 2-night schedule. Our raiding atmosphere is laid-back with lots of friendly banter between pulls, but cleared comms during progression attempts. We take pride in the friendships we've formed in addition to our raiding accomplishments. Many of us enjoy spending time together outside of raids, from running dungeons, to dabbling in various other games, to just having a chat in Discord while doing world quests. If you're a highly skilled raider that wants to down bosses without having to raid on a grueling schedule, consider applying to Wined N Dined.

Raid Schedule:
Our main raid nights are Tuesday and Thursday, 9:00 PM to 1:00 AM EST, with optional off-nights on Monday and Wednesday, 9:30 PM to 12:45 AM EST. During the first 1-2 weeks of a tier, we will consider running on off-nights if enough people are interested, since normal and heroic only require a minimum of 10 people. Optional off-nights are typically used for re-clearing normal/heroic or going back to previous tiers to farm mythic mounts. Invites go out 15 minutes ahead of time and you are expected to be in the raid pulling the boss on the hour.

Loot:
We use RCLootCouncil to distribute loot. Although our main consideration on the loot council is who will get the most out of a particular piece of gear, attendance and consistency also play a role; our most exceptional players tend to get more gear.

Requirements:
If you are interested in applying to Wined N Dined, please keep the following requirements in mind:

• Have an advanced understanding of your spec, and stay up to date on guides and theorycrafting for your spec.

• Be at least 190 item level and ready to come gemmed and enchanted.

• Have 90th+ percentile WarcraftLogs parses (ideally from the current tier) on the spec you intend to trial with.

• Be prepared to show up to raids on time and ready for raiding.

• Be prepared for a sometimes raunchy and non-PC social environment.

• Don't bring an over-inflated or easily bruised ego. (Although, would someone who's egotistical even consider themself egotistical?)

• Seriously, if you can't take constructive criticism, or get defensive about simple suggestions, go somewhere else.

NOTE: Due to the size and skill level of our current roster, we're only looking for EXCEPTIONAL applicants. If you're the kind of player that's one of the first to die on almost every pull, or if you take 10-50 times as much damage from avoidable mechanics as our most mechanically sound players, it's very unlikely you'll pass your trial.

Additionally, the following addons are mandatory:
DeadlyBossMods/Bigwigs
WeakAuras
RCLootCouncil
Exorsus Raid Tools

Once in the guild, our only outside-of-raid requirements are that you do at least 1 max ilvl mythic+ run for the weekly chest option (which currently means clearing a +14 or higher each week). More is encouraged, but not mandatory as the benefit diminishes over the course of a tier. Additionally, we expect everyone to stay on top of their Maw activity for sockets, weekly renown quests, and Torghast runs until you have your main raid legendaries upgraded.
