[Siren]Validus HNM Linkshell

[Astarael]

We are currently looking for somewhere in the region of 4-6 new players. Players with Main BLM/WHM/BRD/SCH/SMN/COR are preferred at the moment. We are especially looking for people who are die hard WHM or CORs.

We are currently the longest running HNM linkshell on Siren today. Formed Feb 2006, we've had a consistent claim rate and carried on successfully since then, without pause. We do HNM, ZNM, Sky, Sea, Dynamis and Einherjar. We have several limbus and salvage groups ran by members. The majority of the linkshell uses our Ventrilo server. Bearing in mind the length of time some of us have been playing together, you'd be safer to call us more of a family than just a linkshell, and we hope to treat new members as such.

When I first wrote this post, I wrote that we had 5 competing linkshells in NA/EU time. Well, there's been some fairly drastic changes in Siren endgame, and now 2 of those linkshells were forced to other servers and became other peoples problem. Out of the remaining 3, another has disbanded. Don't get me wrong, competition is still fierce between the two, but we've taken a clear lead on claims within our active time zone.

Our Schedule
We are generally "active" from around 10-11am EST until 1-2am EST. We have a bunch of EU members, while the rest are mostly EST. Our events as a general rule of thumb begin at 7pm EST. We are pretty hardcore as far as spamming events goes, freedays are few and far between, though on einherjar nights we only do einherjar then leave members upto their own vices.

Weekly rotation:
Monday: Dynamis
Tuesday: Event
Wednesday: Event
Thursday: Einherjar
Friday: Dynamis
Saturday: Event
Sunday: Einherjar

Drop Rules
We work on a points/leader decision system. It's outrageously complicated, but all the rules are posted in our member section for trial members to see. It's proven to be exceptionally fair towards everyone over the years.
We have upgraded 3 relics in-linkshell, in the last few months since we started our relic scheme. We alternate between spamming relic completions and providing gil splits to members. When splits are going on, we effectively split all the drops from 90% of HNM's between all the members present. In the last month our income has exceeded 50mil from blackbelt items and N heads alone, over 100mil in total, 75% of which was split between members. (Selling A and M Bodies contributed to this alot - We've cleared most members on these)

Some Requirements
1. Experienced in HNM/sea/sky is a must. Vast experience is a big plus.
2. We require at least one Mage job. Melee jobs only isn't going to cut it. If you think your jobs are strong enough for you to apply without a Mage job, then by all means, apply, but chances are slim.
3. We are currently not seeking paladin as a job. We have plenty of well-skilled paladins. If you apply with paladin, bear in mind, you will never be on the job.
4. The usual, you must always be willing to drop whatever you're doing to come to a HNM/event, and Validus must be your only linkshell.
5. Ventrilo access is not required, but if you have it make sure you mention it. It's a huge bonus.
6. Do you like hockey?

Application Info
Our website can be found at: ValidusLS
Applications can be posted on our website, or PM'd to me here. Applicants must be willing for a standard BG background check to be ran. When you register on our site you'll be unable to post until your account is activated, we generally do this daily.

We are well underway this year to breaking our record for most big kills in a year. We've been running a long time, and this shows that we are still in our prime, improving every day, where alot of FFXI linkshells are in decline with the release of FFXIV upcoming.

We are the Usain Bolt of Siren's HNM. We havn't been beaten to an uncamped HNM pop in over 6 months. We are bloody quick off the block. Though we do tend to go straight for claim and pass up the showboating.

Recently chased 2 linkshells off Siren. They transferred here, lasted out their 3 months, and then transferred away. We can't take all the credit for this, but I like to think most of it is ours.
