Current logs for the spec you are applying for are required for your application to be processed. All classes are expected to be able to play the optimal class specs for each encounter.
LOOT
Our loot system is merit-based; make sure you've read over how it works using the menu. Applicants do at times get loot, but they should not be expecting any. Although raids are set to personal loot, we do trade items/mounts/pets/toys to the loot officer to be distributed based off our loot council's decisions.

In addition, you should ask for questions and clarification regarding our strats and your role preferably prior to raid if you are unsure.
2. While we don't expect players to grind the newest grind all the time, you're expected to keep up with your peers and the weekly(reasonable) commitments.
3. You should be gemmed/enchanted/have necessary consumables/be repaired/transmogged/simmed/etc. prior to raid.

During Raid
1. You should be actively listening in Discord, and be able to effectively communicate in Discord. Leadership will have priority speaker.
2. You should be performing your duties as well as any assigned roles. If you are ever unsure about a strat or your assigned roles, you should ask so that you prevent a possible raid wipe. Be able to self-evaluate, self-assess, and take personal responsibility for any wipes or deaths that you might have caused.
3. You are also encouraged to bring suggestions and ideas to the leadership team, via whispers or role channels.
4. If you are sitting, you should be outside of the instance in case you are needed for the entire duration of the raid and continue to listen on Discord actively for any changes we might make to our strats. We also encourage you to watch one of our many streamers in the guild so that you can see our progression and any changes directly. You are expected to be familiar with any strategy changes throughout the night, and to be capable of swapping in at any time that we might need you.
5. When rolling on loot, please ensure notes are accurate and include any pertinent information, including % upgrade, relevant bosses you would use the item on, whether it is BiS or just an upgrade, etc.
6. Ensure you have jokes ready, dad joke, bad jokes, and puns all acceptable.
Between/After Raids
1. You should be doing post-raid analysis via logs, stream replays, research of class or strat changes, etc. A number of DJs leaders and players are available to assist with any log review.
2. You should also be paying attention to the forums for any additional changes we make to our strats, and continuing to ask questions or receive clarification for these updates or your roles as needed.
3. You are encouraged to bring suggestions and ideas to the leadership team regarding any strats or roles. We are always open to any new ideas!
4. Ensure that the loot spreadsheet and notes are also up to date, and you are grabbing any additional Weakauras or addons that we might require for specific encounters.
5. You should continue to maximize your character as best as possible through Azerite, M+, weekly expeditions, etc within reason. Be cognizant of where the majority other players on the team are with regards to iLvl and Azerite level and to work to maintain a similar level.
6. Lastly, find one thing you’d want to improve on for the next raid and see what you can do to work on this.
