Please make sure you have done the following before / after filling out and submiting this application.

  1. You have registered on our forums.
  2. You have read our Policies and Rules, and what we're About.
  3. All fields are necessary. Please make sure they are all filled in.

After your hit apply your app will be posted in a private forum that ONLY raiders and officers can read. You will not be able to see your app after you submit it. Please don't submit multiple times.

Just to say again, please make sure all fields are filled in and you have registered on our forums before applying. In case you get an error it may be a good idea to save any long answers in a text editor before hitting apply so you don't have to retype them. You should not get any errors if all fields are filled in but if you're getting an error anyways please post here for help.

In addition, I have two comments I would like to make to you before you submit an application. First off, thanks for considering our guild to raid in, we appreciate it. Secondly, keep in mind that above all else, we don't know you... probably at all, and this application is your chance to show us what kind of effort you can really put into something. Take your time, review your answers, and give it your best.

Make sure to watch your PM's on the forums, we'll get in touch with you. Thank you for your interest in Shockwave.

Personal Information

26. What made you decide to apply to Shockwave?

28. Any friends in Shockwave, if so who?


29. What do you hope to gain out of coming here?


Raiding

30. We raid 5 nights a week, Sunday-Thursday 8:30 EST - 1:00AM EST. We expect a minimum of 80% attendance from all raiders, and 90% attendance from trials. If you can't make a certain raid night, barring emergencies and holidays, please describe why and when you can't make it.


31. Shockwave expects its raiders to have a food buff, weapon oil and flask (or 2 elixirs) running on every single pull of every single boss in every single raid. Are you willing and able to either farm these mats or spend this much money on consumables?


32. Shockwave's first and foremost goal is progression, meaning that if we have content cleared and a new instance is on the PTR, we will expect raiders to have their characters copied and ready for testing on any raid night. Do you understand and accept that we will treat these raids with as much or more importance as a live server raid?


33. Do you read boss strategies before attempting a new boss? If so, what sites do you go to?


34. Tell us about the best raid you have ever attended, be as specific as possible.
