With the first wave of content in the past, and the promise of more difficult encounters to come, we're looking to add several dedicated players to our roster as we look to the future.  Given the gear reset and the opportunity to reroll both factions and classes at the onset of the expansion, now is one of the best times to get into a top-end raid guild such as our own.  However, despite the gear reset, we still expect the same overall quality of our applicants as we look to improve on our world ranking in the upcoming months.

-Dedication
-Willingness to learn
-High attendance (over 90% at least)
-Ability to farm ones own consumables
-Previous end-game raid experience
-Knowledge of your class (every spec, not just one)

These are several of the main attributes that we look for when reviewing applications and interviewing people for admittance into the guild.  A sense of humor is a plus as well, in addition to being able to take what can be at times harsh criticism.

Ascent has been a raiding guild since the days of Everquest, and we've been going strong ever since, more than four years later.  Since Black Temple we have been slowly progressing up the world ranking ladder, finishing the first wave of Wrath content top-10 US, and top-25 World, and we plan on improving that in the upcoming months.

Our current recruitment needs include:

-DPS/Tank Death Knight (Extremely strong raid background required)
-Rogue

As usual, well-written applications are more likely to be reviewed than ones that contain little to no content.  Incorrect grammar suggests a lack of attention to detail, and anything without complete sentences will most likely be ignored entirely.  Anyone who feels that they're a strong enough player to raid in a high-end guild that's of a class not listed above is welcome to apply, as we rarely turn down an excellent applicant.

Easily the most challenging encounter that Blizzard has released this expansion so far; It was nice to have an encounter that didn't fall over in one night worth of attempts.  Would have had a killshot faster but we took a lot of time off around Thanksgiving and I didn't really see the point to rush content when we have to wait so long anyways.  Sartharion + 2 adds is pretty much a joke and the loot is the same regardless, but the drake is a nice little added bonus for the extra hard work.

Malygos proved to be at least a little bit harder than Naxx and Obsidian Sanctum, but not by too much.  The hardest thing was avoiding tank insta-gibs and getting the Power Sparks to the correct location every single time.  More deathknights should make the fight a lot more repeatable in the future.

Not really much to say after clearing Heroic Naxxramas and Sartharion in one night.  Hopefully Malygos will at least be a bit of a challenge.

It's been quite a while since I updated the front page so I figured I'd toss something up here to show what we've been doing in our downtime.  What with Sunwell being so ridiculously easy these days that a pug could pretty much clear it, we decided that taking on the alliance faction leaders would be more of a challenge.  As it turns out, they are actually harder than Sunwell bosses are right now and turned out to be quite rewarding.

For those interested, we are still recruiting for Wrath of the Lich King, so feel free to register and fill out an application.
