<Violent Circus> 7/8 Uldir (M)-2 days/week

Defias Brotherhood / Ravenholdt et al.

Who are we?

<Violent Circus> is an older, established guild on Defias Brotherhood. Historically, we have been a PvP guild that attracts skilled, competitive players. We have a ridiculous amount of gladiator mounts, the number of which is often used to settle disputes in the guild. But just because we have a PvP past, we are by no means less capable to do quality PvE, many of us have raided since the early days of Vanilla, back when killing a new boss took months and we are armed with the patience and knowledge to face new PvE challenges.

Our officers have years of experience when it comes to running guilds, we have lead and managed successful guilds in the past, we have seen it all, and have been in most situations that could be considered difficult for a guild.

With the arrival of Legion, we have focused mostly on PvE, as most of us were surprised by how much we enjoy the challenges of raid mechanics, optimal play and fat loot. We currently stand at 7/8 mythic Uldir, we achieved all the cutting edges in the previous expansion, and we are easily keeping up progresswise with guilds raiding 3 days a week or more. We aim to continue this focus throughout the expansion, until we overcome the mythic Sargeras/Jaina the Dreadlord/Murky/randomfinalboss.

Naturally, we also enjoy doing mythic dungeons, battlegrounds and rated arenas, aiming to master our classes at whatever we pursue. Our progression raids are on Mondays and Thursdays (8-11 PM, CET). For extra gearing and non-raiding members, our heroic raids take place on Sundays.

We are a semi-hardcore 2 days/week raiding guild. This means that we raid on a 2 days schedule, however extra raids may be added if our raiders deem it necessary for that extra push on a particularly hard encounter. This is however not a common occurence and is thouroughly discussed in advance with all our raiders.

We chat regularly on discord and we have a variety of beautiful accents on offer. We are rather international, having many players from Finland, UK, Norway, Sweden and other countries, so we always communicate in English. By now, most of us are in our mid to late twenties. Some of us have replaced gladiator titles with marriage and children. We respect each other’s time and understand its value. This is why, when we do play, we try to be at our best.

Who do we want?

Due to our current focus on mythic progression, we want to recruit some new members to have a steady amount of raiders. We will currently consider ranged dps only, our raiding team is quite full otherwise and with the risk of using a cliche here, exceptional players will always be considered.

We do not accept social ranks usually but if you are interested in joining our amazing community, a well done application, in which the applicant shows he/she has the same values as us ingame, might get you a social rank in our guild.

Here are some other requirements:

· You are at least 20 years old, with a decent skill in English
· You are able to raid, most of the time, on Mondays and Thursdays
· On the raid times, you can join our discord channel and listen
· You try to excel at your chosen class and are able to take criticism
· You respect other players and put progression before drama or loot

As you can see, it is good if you have serious raiding and pvp experience, yet potential and good attitude is a big plus . As we are competitive, we want people that try their best yet, at the end of the day, we understand that everyone makes mistakes. Typically, we do not encourage that and we try to resolve it as quickly as possible, on discord, should that happen. We have a channel for after-raid discussion. Just like your marriage counselor.

As a final thought, this guild is both old and new, relaxed (with only 2 raids a week) yet focused and competitive, but above all we are a good community - even though, as harsh as this may sound, we have low tolerance for drama and attention seeking, therefore we do not encourage players with a past like that to attempt to join us.
Our core of people stuck together through thick and thin ( for more than 10 years), a few met through this game and took the relationship further in the real world. We keep in contact all the time and there are plans for more of us to meet outside Azeroth. We do realize tight communites like these might seem scary for new people, but we always manage to succesfully integrate our newest recruits (if the will is there from their side too).

Bottomline, if you want a place to call home again, after years of wandering around the world (of Warcraft) never quite fitting in anywhere and sometimes doubting good guilds like there used to be in the old days still exist, look no more . We can be all that and more for you.

Players who wish to join us need to make an application at our wonderful website
http://violentcircus.eu/ but if you need more information or are unsure about applying , you can always contact me on battlenet : Nephthys#1635 or Discord: Xethi#7709

Thank you for taking the time to read this and good luck in your future endeavours in game or outside of it.

And puns, stuns and Sandybuns. And Excali's mage pies, which are pretty OK, I guess.

Need some more mythic raiders!

Looking for a few healers still (preferably monk) and dps (ranged or melee).

VC is still looking for a few more serious raiders. We have had a slight progression delay due to Holidays(most of our members are mature players with irl obligations during this time) but we are planning to resume EN mythic progression and eventually NH as soon as Holidays are over. This is a good time to settle in and get to know us better.

If there is anything you are wondering about, feel free to whisper the officers mentioned earlier in this thread.

Thank you

We killed Cenarius and Xavius this evening and are now 7/7 mythic (both on our first night of tries), still looking for some skilled ranged dps.

Hey guys,

Just a reminder we are still recruiting a few skilled ranged dps players. Come check us out on our website or whisper us ingame :)
17
Hey bump,

Also a reminder what I'll tell Xethys later is that we're 10/10 HC NH right now.
Still in need for some exceptional players who specialize being a hunter or the caster who uses the power of the void.

We have some pretty damn competitive people in here, get in here!
18
As Waters stated, we have hc NH on farm status atm and are planning to adventure into mythic mode during our next raid. We are still in need of some skilled players who can make our team complete. Do not hesitate to contact me or any of our officers stated above, for more information

So yeah, could use healers and ranged DPS who would be ready to go NH Mythic right away!

Up you go, still looking for some healers & ranged dps!
Don`t be shy, go apply.
