THE VANQUISH PHILOSOPHY
Vanquish is not a hardcore Trial Guild. Our creed and philosophy is “casually hardcore” offering everything from New to Veteran Content. This is a very difficult standard to live by and to uphold. Our goal is to offer requirements that can be met with Vanquish members at heart, and to provide an environment where 12 people get together with no stress, have fun, kick arse, and want to sign up again.
Here at Vanquish, we are not a hardcore, elite, tri-fecta trial guild. We want to offer Veteran trials with easy sign-ups, encourage self-progression, defeat burnout, and put together groups that are capable of challenges.
Offering three different types of trials; Normal, Veteran Introduction/Open, and Veteran we hope the majority will find a place to fit. We will cover each type below along with what is required.
OPEN NORMAL TRIALS
Normal trials are designed for fun, quick, gear runs and for those stepping into a trial for their first time. Mechanics are briefly discussed as some mechanics in ‘Normals” don’t apply. On the days listed, normally two trials are run on the same night. If you have requests for gear, or wish to see a particular trial, we encourage that you put in the request by adding a comment.
Description: Normal trials are designed for fun, gear runs, ,those stepping into a trial for their first time, and gaining experience. Mechanics are briefly discussed. |
Included Trials: All |
Gear Requirements: None. |
Days: Every Saturday Night, alternating Friday’s, and on Sundays. Encouraged to look at the Events Calendar, check the MOTD in game, or note daily events posted by the Vanquish Bot in discord. |
Sign-Up: Vanquish Website under Events |
CP: 160 is recommended. |
INTRO to VETERAN / OPEN
Introduction is for players wanting to get involved in Veteran trials with little to no experience, focusing on teamwork and mechanics. With trials Maw, Sunspire, and Cloudrest included, it will push the player to understand mechanics and work with their team. If you are curious about Veteran Trials, and maybe a little unsure about your experience, this is for you! This is also open to Veteran players who wish to attempt a new role, or a new build. Intro to Vet is a slower pace to be sure we cover all mechanics.
Included Trials: Sanctum Ophidian/HM, Hel Ra Citadel/HM, Aetherian Archive/HM, Asylum Sanctorum, Cloudrest +0, Sunspire, Maw of Lorkhaj. |
Gear Requirements: (2) 5-piece sets, correct enchants/traits, and at least purple tier for your role. |
Addons: See our Addons Guide for specific raids. |
Sign-Up: Vanquish Website under Events |
CP: 500 minimum. |
NOTE: For OPEN Vet Trials, player must have completed the trial in Normal difficulty. Organizer may recommend gear requirements for Tanks and/or Healers. |
VETERAN TRIALS
Veteran Trials is about having fun, in a relaxed atmosphere, with the intent of completion. Requirements are a little stricter than Intro to Veteran, but not overwhelming. Again, we are not a hardcore trial guild. Each week there may be a different trial or we may focus on a specific trial for the month, and then pending on progression, attempts of hardmode (not tri-fectas). Players joining Veteran Trials should already have a clear in at least the Normal difficulty and have some idea of the mechanics. Though we will go over some strats, we do expect players to have some knowledge. Our goal here is to complete the trial and not spend 1/2 the time explaining each mechanic.
Tackling Past Issues
Those wishing to participate in the Veteran Trials will need to submit a ticket within discord, under the Trial category. Upon meeting the requirements for the role you wish to play, you will receive a VET Tag along with the CLASS you submitted with. If you are a DPS and put a parse with Templar, you will be required to use that Templar until you submit a new ticket for another class. Roles will be VET, Tank, Healer, DPS Tempalr, DPS DK, etc… Note: TANKS and HEALERS are not class specific.
In the past we had parse submissions that met the requirements and then the class played was far below that requirement. It doesn’t help the team. We hope this will be nullified.
Together as a Team
Everyone needs to do their part. Completion is done by team effort. If by chance a member of that team falls short, ex: Tank always dying, Healer with 30% uptimes on Major Courage, DPS not following mechanics, refusing to rez fellow players, etc.… We will have a small discussion with the player to make them aware, offer help, encourage. As last resort, remove the VET tag.
