Fractal Guild [FG]

Despite our guild name – which is a remnant of the past – we are a group of players focusing on consistent weekly clears of any existing and future raid content.

We have started our raid activity at the first day of Spirit Vale release and have been successfully conquering raid content since then without skipping a single reset. We have also completed all raid challenges like “Slippery Slubling” or recent “Demon’s Demise” and will make sure to complete any new challenges coming in the future raids!

We also invest into building guild hall to have it constantly at max level to make all existing guild perks available for our members. That being said, investing into the guild hall or representing is not required at all as we honestly believe that it is something that guilds should never ask for.

Looking for

We are looking for players who can dedicate their effort and time to consistently clear all existing raid encounters, conquer new ones in the future, execute challenging raid achievements and also dedicate time to test out new strategies when it is needed.

Currently required classes/builds:

  • None
    So far we have a fixed setup of 10 people and recruitment is closed.
    I will post updates here if there will be any openings in the setup.

We want you to fulfill one of the common roles in our raid group right now while having reasonable fallback class/build option for new raid wings or possible strategy changes, that is why having a properly geared off-class which you can play on the same or almost on the same level as your main character is a must.

Having more than one off-class is not required, but it is highly recommended and increases your chances to get on board.

Goals

Quite a few people misunderstand the goals of our raid group, so I would like to explicitly specify those. That might be important for people looking for a slightly or totally different experience with raids.

Our main goals as a group are:

  • Consistent and safe clears of all raid wings on weekly basis
  • Efficient conquering of the new raids and raid achievements
  • Chilled, layed-back atmosphere in our runs

We are not looking for extra challenges that do not give appropriate rewards, so this is what we are not going to do at any point:

  • Execute any “glass” strategies
  • Any kind of record runs
  • Low-man boss kills

Let me emphasize first point again – we are against “glass” strategies which could fail miserably due to either RNG factors or encounter environment.

That being said, we are never against improving to make our boss kills easier and faster. So as soon as you are a member of our core team you are of course free to offer any kinds of strategy, setup or build improvements we could implement.

If you don’t like how anything mentioned above sound – we aren’t the guild you are looking for and you better off finding another one.

Schedule

Our raid times are (UTC):

  • Saturday 19:00 – raids clear, currently the only active day
  • Tuesday, Friday 19:00 – additional two raid days for new wing releases
  • Thursday 19:00 – possible extra raid day for new wing releases

Communication

You must be able listen and speak in English in TS – it is crucial for us being a successful raid team. Your English doesn’t need to be even close to perfect, but we want you to be able to communicate with everyone on the team with voice and not just in-game chat.

Experience

It is very important for us to know that you have put effort into building your characters, perfecting your gear, sharpening your combat skill and, most importantly, gaining experience with all existing boss encounters.

So we do expect you to know how to efficiently use class you are applying with on all existing boss encounters and have some practical experience with at least one of your off-classes.

Gear

It is a known fact that full ascended gear is not necessary for clearing the raids, not even close actually. But we do want all members to be around the same skill and gear level so no one would feel that he is carrying someone or being carried through the raid encounter.

That is why full ascended gear with correct stats, runes and sigils is a must for all our core raid members. These conditions are same for your main class and any off-classes you want to apply with.

Having a full set of appropriate infusions is not required but is appreciated and will be taken into account for our final decision about any specific spot.

Applying

If you would like to apply – PM me (Wiella) or Jay Em (Guild Leader) here or in-game:

  • Wiella.8567
  • Jay Em.5128

We will contact you as soon as possible.

After a short interview with me and Jay – if you pass it – you will be trialed on the actual raid bosses where your skill, performance and class knowledge will be evaluated.

Still looking for last member for our roster.

Also updated the requirements on the builds/classes to clarify what we actually want you to have available for raids.

Generally our stance on classes/builds can be simplified to this statement:
“We want you to fulfill one of the common roles in our raid group (currently Druid) while having reasonable fallback class/build option(s)”

Bump.
Still looking for last member for our roster.

Hello Wiella.
I am very interested in the open spot of your roster.

Little bit about me:
- I mainly play Druid (Magi,Viper’s), Elementalist and Guardian
- As of today, I am sitting on 267 LI.
- I am a part of a raid selling guild [xo] which means I 8-man every boss on a weekly basis.
- I am currently training my Chronomancer, experienced on the easier bosses.
- I have PS Power Warrior, DD and Revenant fully geared but inexperienced.
- I am ready to learn whatever class you desire given appropriate time however you were mainly looking for a druid, yes?

I hope we can have a longer conversation about the details if I fulfill your requirements. If you require a GW2Efficiency link, that is available as well.

/Raiyah.

@Raiyah, Good day!

Answering your question – yes, we are looking for almost full-time druid for our core raid group right now.

Generally we try not to swap people onto different classes/builds (even though all our members have at least 3-4 playable classes/specs) unless it is dictated by the boss mechanics. So everyone are mostly playing classes and builds they are comfortable with – that keeps our runs smooth at all times. That is why we are looking for one specific role even though we could make use of pretty much any.

Also, everything you’ve described so far looks quite solid, especially the set of the classes you play with, so I would surely like to speak with you. Will you be online today and free for a talk for like 5-10 minutes around 18:30 UTC time?

That sounds good! Yup, I am free as of this moment, so 18:30 UTC is perfectly fine

See you there o/
