About Inner Focus
Inner Focus is a progression raiding guild dedicated to experiencing all of the raid content World of Warcraft has to offer. While competing with similar-minded guilds on our server and around the world, we strive to accomplish our goals in a three-night schedule by embracing efficiency and optimizing our time spent raiding.

We raid three nights a week for a total commitment of 12 hours per week, listed above. Additionally, players are expected to accept up to 1 hour per week of "excess" raid time to reach a convenient stopping point (rarely utilized). Do not be fooled by our abbreviated schedule; we take raiding quite seriously.

For loot, we use a strict zero-sum DKP system with free offspec gear. More details about loot can be found in our Raid Rules. We provide repairs via the guild bank during progression raiding and also attempt to keep a stockpile of consumables for members to use.

Guild History
Inner Focus was formed shortly before the release of The Burning Crusade on December 31, 2006 by a group of players who had been raiding Molten Core and Blackwing Lair for a year or more. During The Burning Crusade, IF was among the top 10 raiding guilds on our server from Gruul through Black Temple. Tier 5 content was completed before the removal of the "Hand of A'dal" title and we finished tier 6 before patch 3.0.2 was released.

During the transition from The Burning Crusade to Wrath of the Lich King, our raid roster was reduced due to real life circumstances with a number of guild members. As a result we were unable to start 25 man content until the beginning of 2009, however we were able to eventually under-man much of the tier 7 content and progress at the same pace as other guilds at our level.

We currently clear Trial of the Crusader and Ulduar weekly, incorporating hard mode progression raiding whenever possible. In addition, we make an attempt to clear Onyxia and Vault of Archavon quickly as a guild on scheduled raid nights as a convenience to our members so they don't have to deal with PUGs.

Recruitment Needs

Recruitment is open for all classes and roles

We currently have a high interest in the following:
- Death Knight
- Restoration Shaman
- Rogue
- Balance Druid
- Shadow Priest
- Hunter

We are always on the lookout for exceptional players of any class who we think would fit well in our guild.

About You
We are looking for highly skilled, motivated and competitive players who understand all aspects of their class. We value players who understand game mechanics, adapt to changes well and are able to analyze combat logs and web parses in order to improve their game play. Although there is an expectation that players applying to an Icecrown and ToGC focused guild be geared in at least ilvl226 gear, a higher weight will be placed on your skill, how well you get along with others, and your desire to progress through content efficiently.

While we understand that few people are able to hold 100% attendance, by applying to our guild, you are agreeing to our schedule. If you're prone to going AFK frequently during raid hours or frequently will miss raids, you should reconsider joining our guild.

How to Apply
Please visit our website at Inner Focus for more information or to apply through our application forum. If you have any questions, please also feel free to contact myself (Pipo), Daggath or Wrah in game. We look forward to hearing from you!
