greetings, thanks for the app! our tuesday / thursday group does not need a tank or more melee at the moment, but the weekend group does, although we are still in the process of getting enough people to be able to run it. your gear does not meet our raider requirements, mainly due to missing enchants and gems, but we can get you and invite as a casual raider until everything is in order. track someone down online and we can get you an invite.

I appreciate your response and i will work hard to upgrade my current gear and plan to raid with your guild.

Thanks

Jon
