THE CHURCH - ILLIDAN US

The Church (No actual religious affiliation, original name of The Church of Propaganda was considered too long so we shortened it) is a raiding guild on Illidan that was founded back in 2007 on Darkspear. We progressed as a high end raiding guild from Burning Crusade through Warlords of Draenor, including many US top 100 kills and World top 500.

We transferred to Proudmoore during Battle for Azeroth and after good progress there, moved to Illidan for Shadowlands to continue mythic progression with our “casualcore” two day, 6 hour (3 hours per night) raid schedule. We take our limited raid schedule seriously, but don't hesitate to crack jokes with each other and keep the mood light. If you're looking for a guild to progress with, without having to sign away all your free time outside of raiding, and don't mind the occasional Letterkenny reference, then we just might be what you're looking for!

GUILD RAID STRUCTURE

As a two night a week mythic raiding guild, we take our limited time seriously, yet believe in keeping the game enjoyable for all.

Ranks:

Templar - Raiders that officers believe go above and beyond our expectations for the good of the raid and the guild. Officers regularly discuss raider candidacy for the Templar rank; don't ask us if you qualify, we'll tell you when we promote you!

Crusaders - Raiders who have passed their trial period and maintain attendance and performance requirements.

Acolytes - These are raiders that fall into two categories watched by the officers. Members currently starting their trial period, or raiders who have fallen below the attendance and/or performance requirements of a crusader.

Holding a higher rank doesn't mean you won't be sat; if an Acolyte is outperforming a Crusader, the latter will be benched.

Required Addons:

Boss Mod - BigWigs
Weak Auras
Method Raid Tools
RC Loot Council

Attendance:

The minimum attendance requirements are dependent on rank and raider status (current raider or trial member). If you fall below the attendance requirement for your rank, you have a grace period of 6 consecutive raid nights to return to the rank's minimum. Failing to return to your rank's minimum will result in a rank demotion. Our leniency will depend on your history of notifying us of absences, and we will obviously take emergencies and disasters into consideration.

Templars - 90% minimum attendance
Crusader - 80% minimum attendance
Acolyte - 70% minimum attendance
Acolyte (New Member Trial Period) - 90% minimum attendance

Weekly M+ Vault:

Due to the high reward profile, raiders are to complete at least one level 16 or higher M+ key each week.

Loot Rules:

With the changes to the loot system in Dragonflight, the guild has adopted RC Loot Council to help us manage loot distribution. All raiders are required to have this addon installed.

We use the following settings to distribute loot, in terms of priority:

Mainspec BIS (mythic raid only)
Mainspec Need
Mainspec Greed (sidegrades)
Offspec Need
Offspec Greed

Officers make the final determination for awarding loot based on other factors like completing 2 or 4-set for tier, item level upgrades, performance, and attendance.

Bind on Equip

BoEs are the primary source of funding for the guild bank to provide consumables such as cauldrons and feasts, in addition to repairs. Raiders must trade to an officer any such BoEs acquired during one of our officially scheduled raids before the end of the raid. If a raider desires to purchase a BoE from the guild, they are offered at 30% off the current AH price.

Applicants

Players are expected to be open to suggestions and to constructive criticism. We look for players that know their classes, specs as well as raid mechanics. Trial periods lengths are case by case but will not come in as bench warmers as we want to see how you can perform in progression.

Attendance

We understand that things can come up and schedules can change. It will never be held against you if you have to miss a raid due to real life circumstances. Notice of absence is required using the guild's discord.
