Chainfire

I would have a post about how we downed Heroic Madness this week but due to attendance he still stands. After having severl sub 10% wipes on thursday we figured we would come back in on monday and finally down it. Well that turned out to be a faux pa. After playing boomkin for a few attempts and then switching feral we decided it was in our best interest to wait for that one special person so we could down it tomorrow. Yes its frustrating not downing it last week but hey shit happens and you cant control other peoples actions. It seems with this expansion a lot of guilds have died out due to exhaustion. I have to say myself ive had a wild journey this expansion. I also had the privilege to have played with some fo the best people the game has to offer. Enough ranting on about past experiences though madness heroic goes down this week and we are recruiting so feel free to apply. Later guys.

Well I figured I would start doing something new for the website and do a weekly update. Incoming this week is the extra 5% nerf coming across all of Dragon Soul to enable other guilds to experience some of the heroic content. Seeing the Heroic Spine of Deathwing downed before it makes our kill that much more gratifying. I think if it had not been for attendance issues and player issues we would have cleared Heroic Dragon Soul a few weeks ago. Thats the internet for you anything that can go wrong will go wrong. In the upcoming weeks as progression is about to end and we hit farm status on a full 8/8 heroic ill be talking about the upcoming changes for Mists of Pandaria and getting feedback from other players. We are still looking for a strong mage and resto shaman to add to our roster and any exceptional players regardless of class or spec. See you guys next week or when we down madness heroic.

Chainfire is recruiting for Heroic Dragon Soul Progression. We are a 10 man guild that works diligently with the time we have.

7/7 Heroic Firelands
7/8 Heroic Dragon Soul

Raid Times: Monday-Thursday 7-11pm Server (CST)
**During Progression it is not uncommon for us to raid on Sundays or later than times specified if there is a need to**

Who we are:
Chainfire was formed just prior to Cataclysm launch however a solidified raid team was not established til near March, 2011. Since then we have been hard at work progressing and gearing content to the best of our ability. Finishing 4.2 with Heroic Ragnaros among only a select few guilds on this server (including those that continue to transfer, some of which have given us a brand new challenge), we look to continue this persistence and finish 4.3 in a similar fashion. Already ranked Server 4th, we don't plan on losing any ground. Players on our raid team are exceptionally skilled. Many have alts near geared and skilled as their main, our raiders do not have issues bringing in an alt for progression if it helps defeat the encounter. We currently own 2 Legendary staffs, nearing completion of 3 others, and are assembling 4 Rogue legendary daggers.

Who we are looking for:
Chainfire is looking for dedicated and skilled gamers to assist and improve our progression. There are several key factors we look at in determining the right candidate for a position.

Age/Maturity, we prefer you not to be in High School, it is nothing against your age, we are simply looking for raiders who have more control over their schedule than others do. Having to leave early, not show up frequently, or have several real life issues to deal with is detrimental to our raid team, and disresprectful to the other members.

Gear/Professions/Experience, may sound tedious to some but we expect all raiders to have +80 professions to primary stats. Gathering professions do not compare when we are trying to maximize the DPS/HPS on any given encounter. Its not negotiable, if you inquire as a Resto Druid with mining, We will deny you just for that, We take our raid seriously, you need to be serious about your character. We expect applicants to be similarly geared to our core. If you are a caster, you should either have the legendary staff or be well on your way to earning it. I won't be giving a minimum item level requirement but know that its incredibly easy to gear up a toon right now getting them 'up to speed,' you should be near full heroic firelands equipped. Experience, your toon should show proper dedication to raiding, inquiring with a toon that has 7/7 normal and 1/7 heroic tells us you haven't been playing that toon in 4.2 or that you really don't take it seriously.

Skill is another key factor. It is a definite plus if you can show us World of Logs Parses/Ranks, it shows us your ability to maximize your DPS/HPS while also Maximizing your survivability. The effective DPS of a dead dps is zero. Your damage should be comparable to WoL rankings for any given encounter, it shows us your know how to play your class, as we're going to expect you to be one of the best at it.

Attendance - This is one of our biggest concerns with a 10 man raiding environment we have to require a high raid attendance, missing 1 raid a week or every other week is severely punishing to our progression especially if you are playing a class that helped us overcome an encounter. Chainfire is looking for raiders that can reliably make our raid times and log into the game for more than just 4 hours to raid, participate in guild alt runs among other things.

This list may seem like a steep set of requirements, however, for the right candidate ALL of it will come naturally. Proper reforging, best gems and enchants is a no brainer decision for the people we are looking for.

In addition to everything listed above we expect to have raiders with positive and realistic attitudes. Gear is a means not an end. Loot is /rolled most of the time, however under some circumstances specific loot will be given to a raider that benefits the raid team more. Our raiders understand this, its about effectively killing bosses as a team, not making you the most geared Holy Paladin on the server.

Recruitment Needs:

High
Fire/Arcane Mage
Elemental Shaman
Restoration Shaman
Balance Druid

Medium
Retribution Paladin
Discipline/Holy Priest
Feral Druid (Tank)
Feral Druid (DD)

Low
Hunter
Rogue

If you feel that you can live up to our standards, we invite you to inquire with us in game. Please contact Synapse, Sweët and/or Eyekon for more information.

Finally got Heroic Warmaster down after tons of frustrating wipes ranging from anything to everything possible that can happen. All in all the fight is more about execution then anything and requires it to the extreme. Grats guys I wish I would have taken a screen shot but I think that we were just too excited that we downed it to take one. See you guys at spine.
