AoC Orphan Seeks Casual Raid Guild

I've been playing EQ2 for a few months now, but it looks like the people who got me hooked have all jumped ship to Age of Conan. I couldn't get into the theme or interface of AoC, so I've decided to stick with EQ2. I never got the chance to raid with my original guild, but I love the thrill of killing epic mobs. I'm looking for a new guild on Unrest, preferably one where I can get into raiding.

I'll cut to the chase. I'm a 27 year-old Java developer. I don't have much experience, but I love problem solving and I learn quickly. I'm always happy to help, and I'm nearly impossible to offend. I play EQ2 about six nights a week, for at least 4-hours at a time (some weekends I'm on for 12-hours at a stretch). I'm willing to give a guild some serious time and dedication if they'll help me hone my abilities.

Right now my primary character is a level 69 Guardian / 71 Weaponsmith (Decoy). I've created an alt who is a level 31 Wizard / 21 Provisioner (Poing). I'm willing to try any class a guild needs, but I may need a hand getting the character up to level. Soloing is never as fun as slaughtering mobs en-mass with a good group.

While a Guardian may not have been the best choice for a starting character, it has allowed me to take a more active role in groups. I've learned how to pull mobs, monitor the health/agro of group members, and tune my equipment/AAs for tank v.s. DPS. I'm sure that understanding will come in handy no matter what class I end up playing in the guild.

If you're looking for players and I sound like a good fit, please shoot me a message (or email joseph.sack@gmail.com). Thanks in advance!

getting into ANY raid guild as a guard may be challenging as most have their preferred guard tank already.

good luck to ya

Yeah, that's why I'm trying to level up the wiz. I've heard trubadors are the best way to get into raiding, but it's hard to level them up solo. Maybe I should look for a non-raiding guild until I get a wiz or trub up to 80.

Wizard is almost as hard to get a slot for.

Troubs aren't "hard" to level up solo. We just take a little bit longer.

Troub would definately be a good bet, so would Illy I think. .
