Welcome! While we may not always be actively seeking a particular class, we are always keeping an eye out for good players. Please read through this page carefully to be familiar with what we are looking for in our recruits.

If you’re looking for a stable guild to call home and to further progress in your WoW raiding career and believe you meet the above requirements, you should be able to find what you seek in our guild, which is making it’s way up enabling you to experience the whole ascend towards the top firsthand with having your fair share of in the undertaking and progress.

Current class openings: (We always look at exceptional applicants regardless of openings.)

- Death Knight (tank and DPS)

- Priest (Holy)

- Rogue

- Mage

What we can offer you?
We are a guild that is essentially based around a core group of people from two different guilds that merged at one point to form this guild with PvE progress in mind. The history of one guild (Fusion, formed on Skullcrusher) reaches all the way back to vanilla WoW, where it was among the top guilds clearing Naxxramas somewhere around world 40. The guild continued through TBC being among the top 100 until late SWP, where it was forced to migrate to survive. The second guild, iddqd, was founded a bit before TBC on the server Sylvanas and went on to be among the top 100 guilds all the way since, up until late SWP as well. Fusion migrated to Sylvanas, where we eventually agreed on joint raiding (both guilds being on M’uru back then) and quickly finished SWP before patch 3.0 hit. We decided to merge shortly before WotLK went live and we can now conclude that the merge was very successful.

As you might have noticed, our focus is PvE and solely that. We do have non-raiders and casuals, those are mostly friends to the raiders of the guild or ex-raiders, but we do not actively promote arenas nor battlegrounds or PvP in general. You are free to do what you wish with your time as far as you come ready and focused to raids, but if your main focus is PvP, our guild most likely is not what you are looking for, and frankly, you are not what we are looking for either.

If you decide to apply, and actually get accepted, you will be a Recruit for a period of around 2 to 4 weeks (sometimes more), depending what impression you make on us. During your time as a Recruit you will earn DKP, but you will not be able to outbid members on loot. This doesn’t necessarily mean you will not be getting any items at all during your trial period. After your trial is over, you will have equal rights on all loot as the rest of the guild. Don’t expect us to gear you up for your arena hobbies though.

And, what do we expect from new members?
We are looking for exceptional players who are mature, highly competitive and analytical in their approach towards the game and raiding in general. If you are a drama queen, loot whore or have attitude problems, don’t apply. We are looking for players that can jump into our raids quickly, learn fast, are good at multitasking, don’t repeat mistakes, pay attention to their surroundings and quickly understand the bigger picture of an encounter, not just the narrow role of their specific class. If you never failed clicking Magtheridon cubes, if you never died on Archimonde without a soul charge being involved, if you could kill your Teron constructs fast and help out the next player in line, never failed on an encapsulate at Felmyst or never died due to not being in time for a darkness at Kil’jaeden, then that’s a good start. Add some specific Ulduar hardmode experience to this and you’re set.

As mentioned earlier, our focus is PvE and though you are welcome to PvP, unless it interferes with our raids, we want you to have your character build around the PvE focus of our guild. That means your talent spec, gear, enchants and gems are all there for the purpose of getting the best out of your character during PvE raids. You want to know what works and what doesn’t and most importantly, what works the best, and you want to do that. Compromises between PvE and PvP won’t work here, laziness to read up and learn to perform the best and min./max. won’t get you far either. If you’re the type that is content with being the “average Joe” of the guild and can’t instantly compete for top performance spots with our best members, we won’t get along very well. If you can’t use your brain during raids, we won’t get along either. On the note of consumables, you are required to bring the best possible in enough quantity to each and every raid and naturally make good us of it during the raid. We do not like nor tolerate any kind of slacking when it comes to consumables. Frankly, we are quite alergic to slacking with consumables and you’ll quickly get on our bad side if you do and your stay in the guild will be short lived.

We raid 5 days a week on average, Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday from 19:30 server time (i.e. CET or Paris time, w/e you wish to call it) until 00:00. We sometimes do extend raids due to progress. We occasionally also add a Friday raid aimed at farm content only. Any new member should be able to attend at least 90% of those raids (missing 1 night every 2 weeks is acceptable, if you announce it beforehand). As you can see, our raids last up-to five hours. We have breaks during raids, and that’s when you should do your AFK stuff. AFKing mid-raid is not gonna get you far, you’re wasting our time, people hate it, you’ll end up being hated etc. Same goes for proper focus during raids.

You should have past experience with raiding, but it is not necessarily required. If you did Naxxramass and SWP before, great, if you enjoyed it, even better. Experience in the high-end instances of TBC is a big bonus as well.

We are looking for long-term members and people that want to stay. You should be enjoying the game as a whole and it’s PvE content in particular, we are not looking for people who are there to see the content and leave right after.We also do not like rerollers. We expect you to enjoy your class and stick with it through good times, hard times and nerf bats. We do allow people to reroll, but if you expect to reroll every half a year, then we’re definitely are not the guild for you.

We want players who participate in the social interaction that is a WoW guild and befriend the other guild member fast, fitting right into the community. You should be able to tolerate some jokes or criticism going your way, and not be a primadona, getting offended instantly as someone mentions your name in a way you don’t like. Also being an intelligent human being and being able to express that intelligence in words and proper communication that does not defy the English grammar in a major way. If you are the “lol, over 9 thousand, rofl, kek” type of person, don’t bother applying. You also should be active and contributing on our forum. If you join, and 4 weeks later you still haven’t read or posted on our forum, this might seriously impact your trial period.

Other then that we expect you to:

- Speak, write and understand English
- Have a good connection to the WoW-servers and have a PC that’s not from 1991. If you keep disconnecting during raids, keep crashing or keep doing   whatever it is that makes it impossible for you to stay online during raids, your trial period will be over in no time.
- Have ventrilo, and be able to listen to it (speaking on it is a big plus, tanks need to be able to speak up)
- Maintain the costs of raiding, and wiping.
- Make the most of your class. Do the damage/healing you should, and look for ways to do better.
- Not be overly dramatic when someone makes a harsh joke about you, your religion, your family, your pet or whatever. Some people have a rather twisted sense of humor and for some reason those people all seem to play WoW.
- Have the mental capacity to understand basic concepts, and that when you fuck up (everyone does anyway) you are able to adapt and not fuck up again.
- Have PvE as your main priority. Skipping raids/being late to raids because your arena team needed 3 more games is unacceptable, and will get you removed from the guild really, really fast.
- Be sure about wanting to play this game. If you are accepted, the guild as a whole will invest time in gearing you up, and getting you ready for the next instance.

Keep in mind that we do not expect perfect players. You get to fuck up, you will wipe raids, you will get flamed by the rest of the guild for doing so, but it does not end your trial. We allow time for people to improve during their trial, and try to help them out in that process. However, telling you what button to press next is not going to happen.

Before applying keep in mind that cross-server recruitment will lock your character on the new server of your choice, and that you will be here all by yourself. This is your problem, not ours. You will not be getting any special treatment because you migrated to join us and this will not be taken into consideration when your trial is evaluated.

If you believe that you possess the qualities we seek then take your time and fill in the form below and e-mail it to applications@klr-guild.eu, we will contact you if we are interested. Please note that this is the first impression you make and putting some effort in the application will make it stand out from others. (Edit: Since we were getting a huge number of applications from applicants that clearly did not quite grasp what we were aiming at with our questions, we decided to make it easier for both you and us and explain in more details what we expect as answers for each question. Remember, you want to sell yourself, present yourself in the best possible light, show us that you can at least “talk the talk”.)

Following are comments to specific question of the application form, you’ll find the actual form further down in “bold“. This section is here just to help you answer questions that are to be included in the application and I’ll repeat again, the actual application form is further down.

1. Apart from the link, explain anything not directly apparent from the armory. If you’re wearing a different set of gear currently, if you have any other sets of gear for different roles and/or for different encounters (or just the fact that you swap in some hit item if you don’t have a spacecow in your party) and any differences in spec etc.

2. List of alts, their levels and what you use them for if for anything at all besides fun.

3. We want to hear anything that might interfere with you attending raids. Also, you’ll want to describe your playtime pattern here, how often are you online, if you’re online besides raids or on non-raid days etc. If you have to go visit your parents/GF/friends on the other side of the planet every 2nd weekend etc. We want to hear it.

4. This is probably the single most important question, you’ll want to describe ANYTHING that comes to your mind regarding your character, playstyle, choices etc. A good list would be:

• Explaining your current gearing in as much detail as possible. You want to explain your gear choices, your enchant choices, your gemming choices and give us arguments as to why you did so, preferably supported by some theorycrafting (we don’t want to hear that you gem spellpower “because it’s good for me”, we want to know WHY you think it’s good for you). Stats weightings etc. Further to that, you’ll want to note what gear you are aiming for and why.
• Explaining your talent spec in great detail. Why you choose this talent over the other talent (those should be limited to key talent choices for a spec) and how they support your role in a raid. Also mention if you can spec and play any offspec, as we’re mostly looking for people who are capable at playing at least one more offspec, single spec players are no longer as interesting). This description of talent spec should consistently move to the next point which is…
• Describing the rotation/playstyle in raids. What spells/abilities you use, in what order and why. Less obvious things should be explained (explaining frostfire spam isn’t really necessary, but if you’re say arcane, you might want to elaborate in more detail about Missile Barrage usage, when to use it and why. Another good example would be the usage of Eclipse as a boomkin)
• Explain your professions choices and how/why/when you use them, how do they benefit you inside or outside raids. I’ll mention here that you want your professions maxed, unless you just recently rerolled, and if your professions aren’t maxed, you’ll want to explain that.
• Explain glyphs and why you chose them presenting theorycrafting to support your decisions.
• Anything that might seems an addition, boost or bonus to your performance, you’ll want to mention it.
• Link to any WWS or WoWmeteronline parses you have. Just linking them isn’t enough, you want to use them as a tool to further show your points mentioned above (rotations etc.), and to show us that you can actually READ these parses properly and know what it all means.

5. UI screenshot and narrative.

6. This question is obvious, but I’ll write a short explanation. Telling us you did Naxx pre-TBC with nothing to back up your claim isn’t really worth anything to us. Unless you can prove it somehow, it won’t be taken into account in our final consideration. You want to explain everything in detail. If you mention that you did Naxxramas in TBC, make it clear that you did it on lvl 70 and under what conditions, as it might end up looking like a typo otherwise. With TBC experience, you want to mention if it was pre-3.0 patch or after that. Anything that makes your past experience clear, just naming instances that you saw isn’t enough. You also want to mention your goal in WotLK, your opinion when it comes to achievements etc. Also, make it all clear on which character and under what circumstances you cleared all the metioned instances.

7. This should be self explanatory. But you do want to describe it in enough detail that we can understand it. Also you want to mention any past “higher then member roles” in guilds you had and what you did for the guild with this extra responsibility.

8. Easy to understand, but do explain in detail. We at least know what to expect.

9. Important question, don’t neglect it.

10. Easy to understand.

11. Easy to understand.
