Sick Puppies seeks two Paladins for our Ulduar 25m content. We currently farm up to and including Hodir in 25m. We also do hardmode 10man Ulduar stuff for fun, along with other random raids. Our main focus is 25man content.

2 Holy/Disc Priests

1 Shadow Priest

1-2 Warlocks

1 Mage


Potential raiders are expected to be able to understand and do the following

- Raid invites begin at 715pm at the zone, with first pull @ 730pm and end no later than 1030pm server.
- Raid nights are Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
- We use the EpGp loot system
- Naxx 25m gear, or a 2250+ gear score based off of wow-heroes.com
- A textbook knowledge of Ulduar, first hand experience is a plus
- 18+ years of age only
- An extensive knowledge of your class
- Vent
- Thick skin and able to take advice, and open to all kinds of chat, as vent/guild chat tends to be on the adult side.

All other classes are more than welcome to apply, as we are always looking for more friends, and possibly even a few dps.

Four ways to apply to set up an interview over vent.

- sickpuppies.ghostsofmidnight.com
- Speak to Apollia, Suweeluu, Dumblikeox, or Somescrub in game
- Send an ingame mail to those same people

Ty much, and happy raiding

A few answers (And these apply mainly to our Ulduar 25 man progression raids).

1. Do you require a photo ID for proof of being 18 or can we throw that requirement out the window?

No, but if you say in the middle of a raid "I have to go eat dinner, my parents are calling me" or "I have to log at 9 because I have to go to bed" its usually agreed upon your just a kid. Even if that isn't the case, any form of misbehavior will earn you a one way ticket off the raid train.


2. What content is your guild currently working on?

Ulduar 25 man.


3. Will you ninja change raid times shortly after you get new members?

We've changed raid times in the past to best suit the majority, and we will continue to hold that policy based on attendance turnout on said raid days and how they affect progression should it become a problem.


4. What kind of path do you guys have on boss kills in Ulduar?

We kill all bosses we have downed in the past before we move on to progression. This enables maximum gearing (based on what we know we can clear), and more importantly experience and opportunity for existing members.


5. How long do you wait between a boss death and the next pull?

We take 10-15 minute "smoke" breaks in-between the different sections of the raid (That being the seige area, antechamber etc). All other player afk's, bio's, emergencies are done during trash pulls. If your caught afk'ing during a boss pull your kicked and replaced.



6. Do you have a tabard?

Yup. (Although I think it's ugly)


7. Do you use your guild bank as a raid bank?

Certain tabs are used as raid tabs, but having several we need not use them all.



8. Do you have an active set of forums or is it just wasting space on the web?

As Apollia stated in the top post, a new website has been designed and is currently still in the finishing phases. We have switched forums to this site from our old forums. They are active and in the process of becoming lively again. Raid/Class leaders do post strats, class guides, and other raid related material on the forums when they have the time to do so.


9. How do you feel about Holy paladins gemming for SP/spirit/mp5/lolhaste?

I wasn't aware that was an actual gem, but I imagine it would be pretty sweet if it was. More seriously, I feel personally people should gem for what they need. Just like BiS isn't always the best thing to use, neither is a particular gem.

10. What is an acceptable DPS level for you apps?

Recently I made the change to enforce a minimum dps requirement for light movement related fights or fights that do not enhance your dps through outside forces. This required minimum is 3700 dps and pertains to fights such as Ignis, Iron council (Only on Steelbreaker), Kologarn (though we understand ranged must move and melee are slightly gimped by attacking from the front), Razorscale, and Decon.

Fights like Hodir, Thorim, Auriaya and Freya we understand dps numbers will fluctuate but we monitor them closely and adjust as best we can when we have the bodies to do so.

Keep in mind some weeks we simply do not have the replacements to replace members falling below this minimum. We do however pull aside slacking members and work with them concerning gear, gems, enchants, and most importantly rotations and awareness while in a raid situation to help them as best we can.

11. Do you call people out on vent or in game when they screw up?

I have, and I will continue to do so. Ask Jobforundead how seriously I take screw ups if you need further clarification (I'm sure he'd enjoy talking to anyone). One or two mistakes I understand, or if it was lag related. Otherwise your to blame for either not paying attention or not knowing the strat for the fight; and more importantly not fixing your mistake the first time I ask.

12. Did you name your guild when you puppy was sick/dying/dead?

No.


13. How do you feel about subpar enchants/gems on your raid members?

All of our ranked raiders have the highest level enchants available to them for virtually no cost. 99% of the time all abyss crystals are provided by the guild, and depending on cloth donation input the dusts and essences come free to.

Gems are easy enough to be purchased by any serious raider, and one of our 14 million JC's can get you the gem your looking to get cut, no tip required (I can't believe some guilds make their members tip!)

Ideally we try to enchant and gem our raiders to their maximum if they are a consistent progression raider.



14. Would you gear up a member with additional toons if his/her class was needed?

Many of our veteran raiders level alts on the side. If for some reason we needed a particular class and could do without that raiders main class we might consider to take it into deeper content with us. However, if they do so they must follow the loot rules policy just like anyone else as stated on our website/forums.

15. Would said person get priority on loot as a regular member on his alt that he turned main?


We do not use a priority loot system. As Apollia stated in the top post we use the EPGP loot system. This system is explained in great detail on the new forums. If you have further questions about the loot system you can message myself, Apollia, Dumblikeox, or Suweeluu in-game and we should be able to answer your question.


16. How doe you feel about Holy priests spamming sheilds on raid members?

Depends on the fight.



17. Would you place a shaman or druid on the MT to heal?

It really depends what other healers I have available. Our two current resto shamans do a wonderful job at raid healing. Our Holy Paladins and Disc priest can keep me alive through just about anything. Depends on the fight and what I'm working with.


18. Which is better for a druid; spirit or haste?

I'm a druid and I like agility?

More seriously though, I'm assuming your talking about a resto druid. Most resto druids have adapted to the recent spirit nerf. It wasn't a big deal. You'll get your spirit as you upgrade your gear, but haste must be managed more carefully. You'll be comfortable around 450-550 haste in an Ulduar 25 man situation most of the time to get your HoT's GC'd to 1 second, and to compensate for how incredibly large the rooms are in Ulduar and how much you may have to move around to heal what you need to.

As I said before with the gemming question, you'll end up equipping yourself dependent on what stats you need most at the time.


19. Which is better for a disc priest; Int or MP5?

Int ftw!



20. How do you handle critisim from raid members about your leading/knowledge?

I'm pretty open to new strategies or other suggestions about raid encounters outside of raid time. I'm pretty sure most of the other raid leaders feel the same way. When we are currently in a raid however, and you decide to pester the raid leaders with new and exciting ways to attempt a boss kill you'll generally get ignored. Raid time is not a time to bring new, non-researched material to a raid. It is time to employ those strategies of which have been looked into and seem to be the best option for the group makeup currently available.


Your Welcome.


-----EDIT-----

Why are you gemmed for haste?

I'm almost positive he is gemming partially for haste considering he's only at 270~ when ideally he would want to be more around 400-500. Dunno, personal preference in the end like I said before.



Why are you using your current meta gem over the chance to gain mana on each spell cast meta?

Good Question! I'll have to talk to him about that one because even I have no idea why he currently has that in there.... Apo have you been drinking again? ;p



-------------------------

Thanks for the questions, although it's blatantly obvious who all of these flamers are (I'm sure I could list most of the names on my fingertips right now).

The point is we have remodeled, I am in charge of most everything and that's the way we decided to make the cake.

The entire guild, its policies, raid etiquette, expectations, website... it's all changed and brand-new. Come and enjoy it with us if you think you have what it takes and can play nicely (And more important, intelligently!)

Hope to see some new faces soon!

Thank you for the response to my questions.
Some guilds forget that the potential apps are grading the guild just as you are grading them.
Although some of my questions were obviously troll questions you have shown a decent knowledge of raiding and certain class mechanics.

Guild seems legit enough.
Good luck recruiting.
