[ World of Warcraft | US Staghelm | Horde | www.bound-staghelm.com ]

We are currently actively seeking Main Spec Raiders of the following classes:
(1) Warrior - Prot/Dps
(1) Druid - Feral Tank/Feral DPS
(1) Mage
(1) Hunter

Mission Statement
Founded 6/09, Bound is a guild based upon constant improvement and communication. While raiding is our largest focus, it is equally balanced with all other aspects of the game. Bound consists of mature gamers who have a consistent vision of what it takes maintain raiding at a high level.

How can I be a part of Bound?
Bound is open to anyone over the age of 21 who has an interest in playing WoW with other mature players. After reading more, please feel free to submit an application for membership.

What do we expect from guild members?
Simply put, we expect for members to have fun while at the same time creating a fun environment for their guild mates. We want courteous players who are mindful of others, whether that's in guild chat, a party or trade channel. It's all too easy to have the entire reputation of a guild marred by the actions of one person. I can assure you that anything construed by the guild leadership as detrimental to the reputation of this guild will be addressed quickly and may lead to removal of members from the guild.

Raiding
We want our members to enjoy playing the game the way they want to play it, but when it comes to raiding you no longer are playing for yourself. You are playing for the other members in the raid as well. As such, pursuing a raid spot will open you to a new level of scrutiny. As stated before we want players to play the way they want to play, but should there be an instance where someone is falling behind in their role, suggestions will be made by the Inquisitors/Officers to help them hold up their end of the group. This isn't a slight on your game play so please don't be upset if you're approached by someone in these regards. We simply want to be better and the only way we can see everything is with each others help.

We expect our raiders to be open, dedicated, resourceful, flexible and trusting.

• Open - There may be cases where you might need help or someone else in the guild does. Being open means that you are willing to participate from either end of this interaction willingly.
  
• Dedicated - show up to raids when you are expected with the correct gems, enchants and consumables. If you are going to be late or absent, let us know ahead of time so we can find a replacement. Also, it's important to know the boss abilities before you show up to a raid. I say it's important to know the abilities or phases of a fight simply because those things coupled with the raid make-up will, in some cases, dictate the strategy itself.
  
• Resourceful - It's important to know your class well so knowing good resources (friends of the same class, blogs, "spreadsheets", etc) is a must to keep up with changes. We also encourage you to be resourceful in-game by leveling professions and secondary skills to their utmost and leveraging those resources for raiding. (Best foods, more slots, JC gems, inscription shoulder enchants, etc)
  
• Flexible - At this point in building the guild, we will endeavor to maintain as much scheduling stability as is possible, but there will be cases where we may not have enough players to fill a 25 man raid. We won't waste your time by standing around for an extra hour waiting for people to log in. The raids will be called and we can move on to other things. Also, we may need people to fill roles they may not always fill (dual specs are highly encouraged). As such, we will rarely shard gear if it could possibly help someone's "off-set" so that they can fill a raid role in a pinch. We don't want to put ourselves in a situation where we to have to sit a raid night specifically because one person could not make a raid.
  
• Trusting - Trust is a strange word to toss around in a game that for the most part is so anonymous, but we have our reasons for pointing this out. A perfect example of what I am talking about is during the XT-002 Deconstructor fight in Ulduar. Invariably we end up with a paladin healer focusing on the main tank and then the other healers usually just focus on the rest of the raid and toss HoT's on the MT. If we are doing hard mode and the paladin has to move, they won't have time to explain their situation before the tank dies, someone else may just say "heal the tank" on Vent. This is not a case where we don't trust our healers enough to heal the main tank... we just need help on the tank because something else is going on and we certainly don't have time to explain why were saying it. So trust is very much a two way street. We trust that you know what you're doing and won't get insulted if someone says something like that on Vent.

When do you raid?
8:45 PM - Invites Begin
9:00 PM - 12:00 AM - Raid
Monday, Wednesday and Saturday
Times are Central Standard Time, which is Staghelm server time.
We feel that within the predefined raid times, any dedicated guild can progress through content. Members who arrive to the instance on-time, prepared and ready to remain focused are rewarded with a seamless raid that is intent on downing bosses and pushing forward.

Where does Bound stand in content?
While we are still a new guild, we have many members with experience in Ulduar through Yogg-Saraon. Our core group of raiders have raided in instances from Molten Core, Blackwing Lair and Naxxramas at level 60 to Tempest Keep, Serpentshrine Cavern, Black Temple and beyond at level 70.

What are your progression goals?
We plan on progressing through current Ulduar content, both 10 and 25-man hard-modes, before the next content patch. At that time we will re-evaluate our current membership and assess our goals in planning for the Coliseum.

I have been really enjoying my time in guild so far. We have a really great community going here with quite a lot of skilled and friendly people. We are really taking off with new members everyday. If you are looking for a great raiding guild along with a great community then come check us out!

Been looking for a reason to reactivate my account. This will do.

yeah! Submit an application on our forums so we can keep track of the toon/role you are playing. http://bound-staghelm.com
