- All DPS applicants should be both knowledgeable and capable of playing any raiding viable spec their class offers.

Our Expectations:
We are looking for experienced players that can help us progress through Ulduar hard modes, we are not interested in any projects or players that we have to worry about or guide. If you're not confident in your playing ability then don't bother applying. Applicants should have raiding experience dating back to at least the previous expansion, preferably some pre-3.0 Sunwell. Keep in mind you will be playing with, and in some cases, replacing players that have Kil'Jaeden pre-nerf experience, H:GotR completed, and Ulduar experience including killing Yogg.

What gear do I need?
If you are a cross server applicant you should have at least a full set of Naxx gear. If you are a Kilrogg applicant then gear is less of an issue, but you should show that you have done as much as possible with the raiding that is available to you. Also you should have the endorsement of a couple raiding members of the guild as an exceptional player. All applicants should be logged out in their optimal PvE gear.

About us:
Temporary Insanity is a guild that has existed since the alpha versions of the game. Our raiding started in Molten Core and several of those original members still play today. We play on one of the top PVE servers that has many competitive raiding guilds, both Horde and Alliance side. Since we've started raiding we've maintained our status as the top Horde guild on the server. We have a history of defeating bosses before they're "nerfed", including but not limited to Kil'jaeden before 3.0 was released. Outside of raiding many of our members are active in all other aspects of the game including achievements, pvp, leveling, and various raids. You will find that the players in TI are both mature and respectful, and we make sure that our raiders not only play well together but also get along. We also have a stimulating guild chat that attracts all types of interesting and fun conversations, but when it's time to raid we focus on doing what we're supposed to do: Kick ass!

Achievement progress:
On Feb 9th we completed Glory of the Raider, and on Feb 17th we completed Heroic Glory of the Raider. We Killed 25-man Yogg April 27th, are running two 10 man raid groups that are working on Algalon, and are currently working on other hard mode achievements in 25 man Ulduar.

Our purpose and what we offer:
We are here to bring together top quality players to aggressively push content. We enjoy like-minded people who are not only talented but in it for the benefit of their teammates to obtain the highest level of gear and have fun while doing it. We do not tolerate poor play or the inability to take suggestions to improve your play and will sometimes trim the players that do not fit that mold from our roster. We separate ourselves from most other hardcore raiding guilds in that we do not raid more than roughly 20 hours a week. This means that the quality of our players is especially important as we do not have interest in compensating for poor play by putting in more hours.

Our loot system:
We use a DKP system first and a loot council second. With DKP you earn points for every boss killed and may spend a set amount of points on items. If you have negative points you are not allowed to bid points on an item. If everyone passes on the item, then the item costs 0 points and anyone wanting it speaks up and the winner is decided through loot council. Good items never rot under this system, and it is possible to gear up a 2nd or in some cases 3rd set of gear.

Our raid times:
We raid Monday through Thursday 7-11 PST, and Sunday 6-11 PST (Pacific Standard Time). If all of our raiding is done before that point we have days off, but on progression weeks you should expect to be raiding each of those nights. We expect 90-100% attendance from our raiders.

Who do I talk to?
You'll primarily want to talk to Gilora, Kainteeka, Might, Chowbox, BÃ*t, Rbuzorz, or Zenmaza.

Okay, so how do I apply?
