[H-EU] Stormscale <Infinitus> 10M 7/7HC - LF MT

[doubtingparis]

Recruitment:
We're currently on the lookout for tanks. We expect atleast 6/7 hc experience, gear to match it, and you'll need to be active on forums + ingame more than just on raid days.
For a tank spot, we prioritize: Paladin>Warrior>Feral>Deathknight. This is based on current and future gamebalance + 4p bonuses.

Our goals:
Our goal has always been competing with the top in 4.3 - 4.2 is just preparation.
We hope to compete on server firsts with Monster. Realistically we're satisfied with being server second seeing that Monster will have a headstart both with their raid schedule starting one day earlier than us, 3 hours more per week, and the fact, they got more legendaries. Currently they have two, while we've got zero. In 4.3 I expect Monster having 3 and we'll have 1.
We're also looking to expand our guild with a RBG-team, but currently need people with the will, experience and capability of running them. We can offer alt raids to those pvp'ers, an established well functioning guild with a strong leadership, and a few raiders with glad titles.

How did it go?:
Almost 2 months after the Firelands patch(4.2) went live, Infinitus had a somewhat set roster and initiated raiding.
Infinitus had a rapid progression on every execution fight, but struggled a bit with gear-checks such as Beth'tilac and Baleroc hc.
Infinitus was the third guild on the server to take down 6/7 heroic bosses - with just 9 hours of raiding per week, in a new guild, with the issues it posed.
Among other issues a lot of raiders didn't experience tier 11, and because of that lacked gear. Personally I had 364 average ilvl going into Firelands heroic.

We spend 40min - 2 hours on the pushovers like Shannox, Rhyolith and Majordomo. Alysrazor gave us a minor headache, and then we had Beth'tilac and Baleroc up.
We decided to go for Beth'tilac to prove our worth with a server second kill, whilst also realising that Beth'tilac would be more lenient with the gear we had, compared to Baleroc, though harder to execute.

Whilst progressing, we faced the problems of nearly every newly started guild.
On our first night of attempting Shannox heroic, we had our resto shaman emoquit "It's too damn hard to heal" - some people crumble from our high expectations. Another emoquit because of loot destribution. We had problems making our raids steady, and had to schedule raids monday/tuesday in order to continue with our "9 hours per week" schedule. We had a few minor hardware and attendance issues, and even a guy who figured he needed to do his laundry during raid hours! This resulted in a few replacements, and we futher improved our ruleset of what was expected from raiders and what was not.

Anyhow we got 6/7 prenerf, and are currently attempting Ragnaros. Especially on Ragnaros we've had downtime because of attendance and a lack of a second tank. We made arrangements to reduce the likelyhood of this unpleasant occurance, and should have Ragnaros chilled to the very bone(if he's got bones?) soon.

The game is on for 4.3!
It seems like the pve scene on Stormscale has improved throughout 4.2, whether it was due to the pvpscene taking so many hits this season or what, it'll make for an intense experience in 4.3 with so many people racing. A little recruitment, and we're as strong as we'll ever be!

Just 4 guilds on Stormscale had 6/7 hc down, before the first set of nerfs on the 20th of september.
Monster: done on 25man, probs! Not to mention they got Rag down as well.
MotP: 10man 5 raids a week - 6/7 hc one day before us. I hope you guys get your a-game going for 4.3, you'll need it
Sovereignty, they migrated here recently, and wont say much about their ragnaros progress, meaning I've got no clue what to expect from them.
Infinitus.

Quest, FSK, Pinkspear Tribe and Laidback will be guilds to watch out for in 4.3 as well, all having 6/7hc with 1 boss killed post-nerf, and a raid schedule more hardcore than ours.
