What do you mean by T8 enraged thou? We need a SCH preferably with T8 clear experience but if the SCH is a good SCH and knows what to do for T8, being comfortable in it and just that he/she could not clear due to other issues, such as not enough raid DPS or other raid member's mistakes, we can consider pushing the SCH. It's not that difficult as we pushed one of our new member (WAR main, plays BLM in T8, replaced our old WAR who left the game due to work commitments) to a T8 clear within the same night we brought him in.
We are currently looking for a SCH only because our SCH is going on a long holiday. We are currently T6-T8 on farm while working on T9 (on the first 2 phases). We do not belong to the hardcore type, you can say it is fairly "casual" in a sense. Typical raid times are Monday-Thursday + Sunday @ 10pm-12am GMT +8.
I understand that you have a friend with you but as we only have one slot, we could only use a SCH. Let me know if you are keen
