StaminUp Voidwatch LS

StaminUp Voidwatch Recruitment

Background:

StaminUp is a newly formed shell, consisting primarily of friends who have played together for years already and are well situated in the Cerberus Endgame community. While the name and the shell itself is new, the membership is not. All of our core members have played for many years, and are well versed in both how the game works and how to play it. While we like to maintain a friendly, cooperative atmosphere, we all know when to mess around and when to put our game faces on. This doesn't mean that we're averse to the idea of having fun, but simply that we have fun by performing to the best of our abilities and accomplishing our goals together. We have been extremely successful on our own, however we are looking to bolster our ranks in order to most efficiently do Voidwatch. A few facts about StaminUp:

-We're a close-knit group of friends, so our membership is small and will likely stay fairly small for that reason. We prefer doing events with the same 12-15 people rather than boasting a 20+ roster and working around who shows up each day.

-We recruit primarily through word of mouth. Random applicants are heavily scrutinized. Because of this, we intend to boast a very low turnover rate.

-We at StaminUp have an exceedingly low tolerance for drama. We do not tolerate people who insist on giving the shell a bad name. If you don't get along with another StaminUp member, you will both have to be adults about it and keep it from affecting your performance as a part of the team. If a personal dispute does start interfering with group events, one or both parties will be removed from the shell entirely.

-We do have a sense of humor. Your jokes don't bother me. If ours bother you, please try to ignore them. We expect a sensible amount of thick skin. We enjoy people who don't mind making fun of themselves. We certainly don't.

Currently Recruiting:

We are currently interested in players with a decently diverse job spread who can fill multiple roles if need be. At least 2 90+ jobs are required. The more limited your job selection, the more you are going to have to prove to us that your jobs are worth bringing onto the team. We already have a fair amount of well-geared Empyrean DDs. If you want to be considered for a DD spot, you are going to have to have at the bare minimum a WoE weapon (or comparable Magian for certain jobs) and solid TP/WS/PDT/MDT gear. Having an Alt account helps, but is not mandatory.

We Expect Appropriate Gear Swaps From Everyone. No Exceptions.

Specifically, we are currently recruiting for the following jobs:

White Mage: Must have at least a Surya's +2 Cure Potency staff, bare minimum.

Red Mage: Must have at least a Surya's +2 Cure Potency staff, bare minimum. Must be willing to rearrange G2 Merits if necessary in order to cover all Triggers.

Black Mage: Must have at least 1 +2 level Affinity staff. Must be willing to merit all AMII spells.

Scholar

Dragoon: Completed Magian weapon (OAT, WoE, Emp) or Vougier's Contus required.

Blue Mage: Must have ALL Voidwatch Trigger spells.

Ninja: Must have all Ichi, Ni, and San spells. Blade: Hi highly recommended.

Bard: Must have all trigger spells. Must have capped skill tiers for songs and merit abilities.

Ranger: Must have all Archery and Marksmanship WS. Jishnu's Radiance or Wildfire highly recommended.

Dancer: Must have 5/5 Haste Samba.

We are Not actively recruiting any other jobs. If you have a job that is not listed here, you are welcome to apply regardless, noting however that only exceptional applications will be reviewed.

Please be advised that exceptional references from current members are highly recommended.

Current Schedule:

Our current schedule is to run on Saturdays and Sundays at 7pm EST. Runs may last anywhere from 1-3 hours. If you are applying, please ensure that this is a schedule you will be able to adhere to.

During weekdays, StaminUp members typically do other things, such as farm Empyrean weapons and complete AF3+2 sets for new jobs. We occasionally do WoE, HKCNM, and pretty much anything else worth doing. Most of this off-hour hunting is impromptu, so there may not be any announcements that we will be doing anything.

Expectations:

-We expect people to check the /LSMES for times of events and show up on time without being told.

-We expect people to be able to promptly and quickly change jobs if it is determined to be necessary. Do not keep important gear for a job you know we may need on a mule.

-Be able to navigate all areas, or be willing to spend time learning with maps provided on the internet.

-Bring Food, Tools, Reraise, Sneak and Invisible (Oils and Powders or Tonko/Monomi, even for mages in Magic Aggro areas) everywhere with them, without being reminded, no matter what is on the schedule.

-Be able to multitask and change plans quickly. There are times when unexpected circumstances will cause us to shift our scheduled target to something different, and being able to quickly do so is expected.

-Be respectful to the LS members, and to let us know if you are going AFK or are going to be unable to play for any length of time.

-Don't be retarded. Seriously. Everyone makes mistakes, but not everyone learns from them. You can fix gimp. You can fix new. You can't fix stupid.

Additional Information:

At StaminUp, we don't expect everyone who applies to our shell to be perfectly geared. If you had everything, why would you need to do VoidWatch? However, we do expect applicants and members to be smartly geared. We expect people to gear swap, to know the basics of game mechanics, and to know what to use when. What matters to us is not that you are geared the best, but that you are geared the best for your means.

We also expect applicants and members to show an earnest desire to improve. You may not be the best now, but you can be later. Being self-motivated is important. Applicants and members must also have the ability to accept criticism. If you're doing it wrong, someone will tell you. Learn from us, and learn from each other. If you think we're wrong, tell us; just be prepared to back your claims up.

Final Notes: BEING A MEMBER OF THE PC MASTER RACE IS REQUIRED.

Spellcast, and/or Windower Scripts are highly recommended; No one will be cut slack because they are working with inferior macros.

We will be utilizing Skype/Ventrilo/Mumble for voice chat. Microphones are not mandatory, however you will be required to listen in in order to receive instructions and plans as efficiently as possible.

If you are not from Cerberus originally, we reserve the right to perform a Background Check on BlueGartr.

If you are on our server, please contact Isawa or Greatguardian after applying.

Good luck!

Edit: if interested, please apply here.

Do you take members that would only come to Voidwatch?
Asking because you say you do other stuffs during weekdays (empyreans) and wouldn't be attenting those.

[Greatguardian]

Yeah. The shell itself is only officially doing Voidwatch. That's the only time we really expect people to show up. Some of us just happen to do random stuff a lot on weekdays, and generally don't mind people tagging along or helping people out.

Bump to update our recruitment parameters:

We are pretty much solid on mages and are currently looking for a couple well-geared and competent DDs. We are absolutely not interested if you do not know what PDT/MDT sets are and when to swap into them.

Specifically looking for the following jobs:

RNG
DRG
DRK
NIN
THF
PLD - Ochain and/or Aegis only.

As our current member base has a fairly diverse job spread, we are generally willing to try out people who are not retarded on most jobs. Please remember to apply via our Guildwork page rather than attempting to do so in-game. Approaching myself or Isawa with questions in-game is fine, just note that we'll likely direct you to an application page if you're interested in the linkshell. We use Guildwork to consolidate the KIs that all of our members have available to them, as well as for direct access to our Mumble server which we use exclusively for communication during events.
