Search Brood of Reckoning query http://broodofreckoning.com/search.php http://broodofreckoning.com/news.php?item.114.9 Brood of Reckoning is currently 11/12 in heroic ICC25man. We as a guild take raiding very seriously and in order to be a serious raiding guild we need serious raiders. What I mean by that is, we need dedication, we need people that are going to show up on raid nights and RAID. If you're an individual that truly believes you're ahead of the crowd and you're of a serious and dedicated mindset to raid please feel free to apply. While having good gear is of a great benefit in us taking your application seriously what we truly look for is competence, the ability to write full thought out sentences and most importantly the ambition to want to make all of our raids and not just make them but to raid at 110% of your capability. Please keep these things in mind when putting in an application with us. The following is what we're in the most need of.(1) Shadow Priest with a strong healing offspec(1) Resto Shaman(1) Any Exceptional Healer regardless of class.The spots I have listed are only what we consider a high priority currently, if you aren't one of the classes I listed don't let that discourage you from throwing in an application as we're always on the lookout for exceptional talent.-Mournn Mournn<slikfinn@nospam.com> Wed, 19 May 2010 12:43:02 -0400 http://broodofreckoning.com/news.php?item.114.9 http://broodofreckoning.com/news.php?item.113.9 I think now is the perfect moment for me to explain what we are about and how shit works here at BoR. It will take me only two words.ONE SHOT!!!That's right. On 04.21.2010 The ranks of BoR squared off, buffed the raid and then proceeded not only to one shot LK25 but flat out fuck stomp his ass. The fight was incredibly clean. In fact I'm not sure I have seen a cleaner execution of this fight by any guild period. Once again congratz to the raiders of BoR, it is both a pleasure and an honor to raid in the company of such talented and fine individuals! Heroics .... pfft we're just warming up kids P.S.ONE SHOT!!!Ok .. thats 4 words ...sorta ... unless you count the other words I used to post... annnnd the words I used in the P.S. and .........hey STOP JUDGING ME MAN!!!! -Z Zerix<zerix@nospam.com> Sat, 24 Apr 2010 00:26:38 -0400 http://broodofreckoning.com/news.php?item.113.9 http://broodofreckoning.com/news.php?item.112.9 Gratz to BoR on a fine kill!Once again a goal was set and you ALL came through in fine style. It is an honor and a privilege to raid with each and every one of you. Additionally I would like to extend a warm and friendly greeting to all players on Malfurion. The below screen shot is a typical representation of the fate that meets each and every raid boss we encounter. On to the heroics!Additionally I have included a recently produced video somewhat themed around the history of BoR and our march to the Lich King. I highly recommend watching this in 1080p, full screen with volume cranked up Thanks for watching! -Z Zerix<zerix@nospam.com> Tue, 09 Mar 2010 01:18:37 -0500 http://broodofreckoning.com/news.php?item.112.9 http://broodofreckoning.com/news.php?item.111.9 [H] Brood of Reckoning recruiting for 25mansThe Brood of Reckoning is a PvE raid guild founded 5 years ago and still maintains it's original leadership. Many of us have been playing since launch and have pretty much seen it all. We have recently transferred to Malfurion in hopes of finding what our old server was lacking; solid applications, solid progression and raiders that want what we want. Unfortunately during the last few months recruitment and attendance were slow going on our old server allowing our 25 man progression to fall short of planned goals resulting in 9/12 ICC25. Our 10man raids however were working on the Lich King at the time of our transfer. A very hard decision was made to leave our home of 5 years bringing with us only the most dedicated and talented remnants of our guild. As such we will be recruiting multiple positions to fill our ranks and return to end game 25man content.What you can expect from us: * Strong, dedicated leadership that has been involved directly with the guild for 5 years.* A mature team of raiders that will be top contenders on this server.* Progression. We have conquered and will continue to defeat ALL PvE content in the World of Warcraft* A fun raiding environment; while we are a serious raiding and progression guild we do enjoy having a good time while we do it.* Most importantly, we maintain and enforce a zero drama policy.What we expect from you:* Be available and on time for the raids, ready with consumables and knowledge of raid content.* A complete understanding of your class and how best to min/max your potential.* The ability to listen in vent and execute the job required of you without complaint.* The drive for true progression (raiders that show up for free epics and not for the current encounter we're working on need not apply).* A rock solid computer and stable internet connection allowing you to play to the maximum of your ability.* 18+ years of age or the ability to show that you're a mature human being. And most importantly Drama Llamas need not apply.Our 25man raid times are 8pm-11pm CST Monday-Thursday with 10mans operating typically on the weekends and during the week when time permits. Our website is http://www.broodofreckoning.comCurrently Recruiting:(1)Boomkin(1)Enhancement Shaman(1)Dps Warrior(2)Rogues(1)Feral Druid (preferably a tank)(1)Resto Shaman(1)Holy Paladin(1)Holy Priest(1)Prot PaladinDPS applicants will be required to show a parse of their up to date performance. Exceptional Players of all classes will be reviewed and considered. Please do not waste your time or ours if your character is not properly spec'd and utilizing the best Gems/Enchants available. Best of luck and we hope to see some friendly new faces in the future.If you have any questions about recruiting or The Brood of Reckoning please contact one of the following individuals.MournnZerixBattistaDemonhideSkarl Zerix<zerix@nospam.com> Tue, 02 Mar 2010 01:08:37 -0500 http://broodofreckoning.com/news.php?item.111.9 http://broodofreckoning.com/news.php?item.110.9 The following post was written largely in part by my friend Battista of Cenarion Circle at my request. Although I have given it a few edits of my own I would like to point out that it represents the feelings and thoughts of ALL of the officers and organizers of The Brood of Reckoning. We act as one."The time has come," the Walrus said, "to talk of many things..."This is an announcement that has been a long time coming, a decision that has been mulled over and contemplated for many months, over pitchers of beer, over dinners, over hours in Ventrilo. A decision has been made that has not, in any way, shape, or form, been made lightly.Brood of Reckoning is closing its doors on Cenarion Circle after five great years and we are moving away.I'll give you a moment to digest that. You read it correctly, it's not a joke. In 72 hours or less from the time of this posting The Brood of Reckoning of Cenarion Circle will no longer exist.For those not aware, BoR started on Cenarion Circle March 20th, 2005. The server was chosen not for the RP experience but simply for its up time and stability amidst a very small pool of servers at that time. It was a game then and the guild was formed just for a few close friends to have a channel to chat in while we explored this new and exciting world. Then one day we got invited into a PUG Molten Core and the raiding bug bit us very hard. We were addicted and we decided that our only purpose in the game was to raid. Everything else went to the wayside; raiding became our collective obsession. We became quite successful very fast. Over the years BoR has laid out goals for itself and conquered them all even when the deck was heavily stacked against us. WotlK was to be its crowning achievement. Unfortunately this will not be the case.WHY WE ARE MOVINGWe are transferring servers for several reasons, most of which revolve around finding a larger pool of raiders to pull from in order to fuel our raids. RP servers simply do not offer the amount of solid raiders that PVE based servers do. It’s a pure and simple fact. If we want to better we have exactly three choices:A. We train and work with people to bring their skill level to the level that we need which is what we have been doing for five years.B. We go to other servers and convince talented raiders to transfer here.C. We transfer BoR to another server.We are choosing the latter option and relocating to Malfurion.This will also give us the chance to rebuild the guild from the ground up. Historically we have never spoken of rebuilding the guild in a good light; we talk about how hard it was, how much work it was, and how it ended just short of where we wanted to be for the effort. In the past rebuilding the guild was a forced issue due to loss of raiders, internal drama, and other factors. This time we will be making the decision and the decision has been made. This rebuild is something that we, the Officers and Organizers, are very much looking forward to. It is a chance to get back to the core values that this guild was founded upon; raiding, improving the game play of raiders, and working together with like minded and skilled individuals to defeat the biggest baddest encounters the game has to offer.We have kept those values true in concept but have failed to reinforce it in practice due to the lack of a solid raiding pool to pull from; we settle for less so that we can at least get enough warm bodies together in order to form a raid that has to struggle. Those raiders that show true promise and immense skill are quickly frustrated and jaded against those with less promise and skill, which in turn creates a stigma of arrogance and elitism which forms cancers in the guild that have been growing for entirely too long. We are exhausted from having to endure and survive this growing divide between those that know everything and are quick to tell you how much you suck and those that aren't even willing to do the legwork necessary to maintain performance levels needed for us to be successful on the scale that we desire to be.WHAT THIS MEANS FOR ALL OF YOUWhat this means for Brood members on CC is simple; BoR on CC is closing and the guild will be cleared out. We will leave behind, most likely an officer alt, to make sure the guild name cannot be used by anyone else; we worked hard to make the name what it is, for better or for worse, and we don't want to run the risk of anyone else polluting it. Anyone in the guild that wants to transfer to the new server is more than welcome to; it's your $25, do with it as you will. However, and this may sting, you will not be getting automatic guild invites. We are rebuilding with a core group of raiders and taking the opportunity to break old habits and old regimes. We feel very strongly that we have paid our dues on CC; anyone that has ever followed us has been well compensated in gear and experience and our unique community. It would serve us very little purpose to move to a new server and then invite the same people; we might as well stay here.The core raiders that we are taking have been contacted previous to this post and are already committed to this move.Anyone and everyone else that transfers is going to have to apply to the guild just like anyone off the street. And a word of warning; competition will be stiff. We are moving to a server where raiding is the one singular focus so the talent pool will be large and quite skilled. Those Brood members that do transfer will have a disadvantage when reapplying to the guild; we've already seen you raid, we already know what kind of raider and guild member you are. We will not be ginviting anyone out of a sense of loyalty; anyone that gets a guild invite to the new Brood will have earned it beyond the shadow of any doubt and we will be forging ahead with a clear mind, a clear conscience, and a clear focus.To those that wish to follow us to our new home, I hope you are ready to raid hard like you've never done before. To those that choose not to follow, we thank you for making our community what it is and for giving us the best you could give.So long, and thanks for all the fish…..-Z Zerix<zerix@nospam.com> Fri, 19 Feb 2010 21:16:58 -0500 http://broodofreckoning.com/news.php?item.110.9 http://broodofreckoning.com/news.php?item.109.9 We killed some stuff ... lots of it in fact. I can assure you it is dead. Very dead. I haven't putting any pics up because well .. we've been too busy killing stuff to stop and take pictures. Not very exciting I know but I'll get around to it .. sooner or later.Sooooo I'm just putting this here for now as a place holder and let let anyone who cares (which is you because you are still reading this) that we are still raiding and ALL of the stuff up and into 3/5 HToC 25 is dead now.For those of you that came to apply READ the section before filling out an application. There may be life saving type info in there. Don't worry I'll hire someone to write something a bit more nicer later but for now know this: If you fail to READ that section before the application not only will we reject your application after openly mocking it, we will hunt you down unleash a pack of rabid and sex starved syphilitic crack addicted monkeys into your home to cornhole you and your loved ones repeatedly.Have a nice day!! -Z Zerix<zerix@nospam.com> Fri, 09 Oct 2009 20:53:55 -0400 http://broodofreckoning.com/news.php?item.109.9 http://broodofreckoning.com/news.php?item.107.9 Uh oh .. looky here! ... here is the 25 man Yogg Saron all dead an busted on the ground *cuts notch in staff*. Once we got down to business and put some work into him he died in short order. Nice work again BoR, now we can hard mode the rest yay! Thanks again guys for all your hard work.-Z Zerix<zerix@nospam.com> Fri, 10 Jul 2009 05:27:04 -0400 http://broodofreckoning.com/news.php?item.107.9 http://broodofreckoning.com/news.php?item.106.9 I've been bad about getting killshots up on the site for some time now. I'm going to make an attempt to be better about this stuff from now on. We typically do not post 10 man kill shots but this one I felt was a tremendously nice kill that got the blood rushing. Fun fight and EVERYONE involved including the folks that helped kill bosses up to Yogg but could not attend this raid earned a fine kill here.That having been said .. congratz all of BoRI'm excited to see you all in many many more fine boss kills to come!-Z P.S. I'll see what I can do about posting up all of the other 25 man kills to date in Ulduar soon.

Blah blah blah blah blah blah and blah PLUS blah wah wah wahwa hubbity blubitty and dead bosses, new shot of flame levy and of course Kologarn.XT002-Deconstructor was nerfed into oblivion by blizz so we are going to count that one as a trash mob room ... here is a pic anyways. Kologarn took a few shots and some organizing and down he went. I'm both proud and happy for our guild and raiders. Good job guys and don't worry, if we keep looking in Ulduar long enough we might find a real boss!
