Hi there, Spike Flail on Ner'zhul(PVP) is looking for a few more dedicated raiders to join us as we push on in our WoLK Progression. We have players from all time zones but raid primarily EST/CST time, with raids of Sun-Wends from 6:30 PM EST - 11 PM EST. Pre 3.0, we completed our Heroic Glory of the Raider achievement; in 3.1 we've cleared Ulduar and completed all 9 Hard modes including Algalon (US #38) and 0 Keeper Yogg (#20 US). We have fully cleared Heroic TOC US 25th Anub kill and US 19th “A Tribute to Skill”.
Additionally, our 10 man groups have had great success completing “A Tribute to Mad Skill“ achievement in TOC 10 man Heroic (45 attempts) world 2nd. And a world 15th “Tribute to Dedicated Insanity”

About Spike Flail:
We raid four nights a week, four hours per night. We have members from all over continental North America, however the majority of our raiders are EST based, and thus we raid EST. We currently raid from Sunday-Wednesday, from 7 PM EST - 11 PM EST, with raid invites starting at 6:30 PM EST. Our schedule tries to leave weekends open for our members to enjoy their social lives, and thus "only" runs 4 days, so if you can't make the majority of these raids for whatever reason, its probably not the best idea to apply to us.
We currently run a silent bid DKP system, which myself or another Officer can give details on if necessary on request.
What we're looking for:
Our general requirements are as follows:
At least the majority of 213 ilevel items in your gear. You should at least a few pieces of ilevel 226 (KT and Maly drops) to be competitive in Ulduar. Not being geared really isn't an option currently as Naxx/Sarth/Maly 25 is easily PUGable.
Ability to make at least 90% of our raids.
PVE spec'd and geared.
Dedicated raiding mindset. We require consumable usage on any Progression or Non-Farming Boss attempt. You must have the playtime and means to be able to keep up with the consumable curve needed for weekly raiding. You must come over prepared to every raid.
MOST IMPORTANTLY: You must be an intelligent person, and be able to convey your intelligence in how you present yourself. This includes knowing game mechanics, having quick reaction time, and being able to learn from your mistakes. You should be able to explain your classes weakness and strengths, know the theorycraft to min/max your class, and what abilities to use when. You must be able to learn quickly from your mistakes and adapt to new situations, as well as have a strong sense of situational awareness and the ability to multi-task effectively. You also must be able to express yourself in a way that shows you're an intelligent human being, this includes proper grammar and sentence structure. No "b4, u, r, sum1," every time you speak please.
You can find a much longer post regarding all our expectations and requirements for our applicants at
http://spikeflail.selftitled.net/for...opic.php?t=289. I STRONGLY encourage any potential applicant to read over that thread thoroughly before making a decision regarding their application.
Prospective Trials must be completely knowledgeable of their class's theorycraft and mechanics, dedicated and dependable raiders, and overall knowledgeable and skilled players. Our specific class needs are as follows:
HIGH PRIORITY:
- Rogue
- Disc/Holy Priest
- Feral Druid
- Hunter
MID PRIORITY:
- Prot Warrior
"High Priority" means we're actively seeking that class. "Mid Priority" means we're not so much of in need of the class as High, but we will give impressive applications thorough review and consideration. "Low Priority" means we're exceptionally well off on that class, and you'll really have to impress us with your app, gear, and experience for consideration.
Please note that even if your class is listed under Mid or Low priority we are always seeking exceptional players to add to our roster.
How to contact us:
If you're interested in applying, you can visit our forums at
http://www.spikeflail.net/ and put an application in on the appropriate forum. Please be sure to read all the stickies before applying, if you can't be bothered to read the stickies and follow application directions you probably will not be considered for a trial.
You also can roll a level 1 on Ner'zhul and chat with myself (Melbufrahma) or any other Spike Flail officer. (Zepp, Ushas and Facts)
Please be sure to read over all the information we've presented on our forum before making a decision to apply. If you think you meet our requirements and agree with our philosophy towards raiding, feel free to pursue it. However please don't belittle yourself by simply glancing over our information and tossing an application with no effort behind it. The application process is partly an attempt to weed our those who can't read stickies or form a proper sentence, so please remember that an application is your first impression, so try to make it as well crafted as possible.
Thanks for reading and hope to hear from you soon!
