Beginner Raid Training

Beginner friendly

No KP required — a guided, judgment-free introduction to raiding.

Weekly

The raiding scene in Guild Wars 2 can be hard to get into — most often you'll be asked for KP (killproof), the classic gatekeeping mechanic. Fear not: join our beginner raid commander on a guided tour through various raid wings.

All fights are explained up front with pointers throughout. No DPS requirements — the goal is a safe space to learn mechanics and pacing while receiving all the guidance we can offer.

Starter level Raid training
Wed 2 Sep · 17:30–18:30
**Raid Training Open to All** Whether you are new to raiding or coming back after a break, you are welcome to join these trainings. There is no experience requirement. If you have a level 80 character and access to Heart of Thorns, you are good to go. These sessions are beginner friendly but structured. The goal is to help you understand mechanics, improve over time, and build confidence in a relaxed, no judgment environment. Mistakes are part of the process. That said, these trainings only work if everyone respects the space and each other’s time. **Expectations:** • Respect the trainer and follow instructions • No backseating or talking over explanations • Be patient and cooperative **Requirements to join:** • Heart of Thorns expansion • A level 80 character • A class you are comfortable playing **To sign up:** Click the sign up button in the training channel, not in the thread. The bot will DM you with further instructions.

We never ask for KP

Whatever wing is chosen, whether for beginner training or general raids in EoL, we never ask killproof. Our vision is a safe space that encourages learning through positive reinforcement.

Requirements

We try to keep beginner raids open to as many people as possible, but raids are still end-game content, so a few things are unavoidable:

Requirements

Only level 80 characters can join.
Gear should be mainly exotic quality and (near) level 80 — reach out to the raid commander up front if you need help sorting this out.
Join voice chat (listening only is fine) — explanations and pointers during a fight are near-impossible via text.

General code of conduct

Respect that this is a beginner training — we might be stuck on a single boss all evening.
Respect the tag: no backseat commanding. Help when asked, but don't call out mechanics unprompted.
Keep chat to a minimum during fights.
Be on time or notify us — we'll wait a few minutes before filling your spot from a reserve or LFG pug.
You're free to leave early — just mention your role before leaving.

What to expect

Which wings get tackled isn't always announced up front — it depends on how many new people are joining, whether the emboldened or double-reward buff is active, how much overlap there was last week, whether specific builds are needed, and, most importantly, what the commander feels like doing.

Expect a light-hearted atmosphere with plenty of banter alongside the seriousness needed at the right moments. We are not a high-class raiding guild, and we're not trying to be — we offer a foot in the door, whether you want to grow further or just enjoy the occasional raid.
