Raiding Setting up and Managing Raids Raid Organisers: level 80 raids (excluding OS and VoA) can only be entered in the calendar and organised by raid organisers. These are currently designated as being the guild leaders and the officers, and in certain circumstances any other member of the guild previously given permission by an officer/guild leader. Should anyone other than these designated organisers make an entry for a level 80 raid other than those excluded above, they will be requested to remove it. Any member of the guild is allowed to place entries for VoA, OS or sub-level 80 raids. Raid organisers do not have to attend, or be raid leaders, but they do organise who is selected to attend, etc. Raid Leaders: raid leaders can be anyone selected by the raid organiser, and doesn’t necessarily need to also be the loot master. The raid leader or raid organiser may choose a loot master. Complaints: should there be a complaint regarding the raid, or raid group, or member of the raid group, the raid leader should be informed via /w. If the complaint is regarding a raid member, the complainant should also speak to the offending member. If the complainant does not feel that the matter has been resolved, they should (a) ensure they have explained fully the problem, (b) confirm what action, if any, the Raid Leader has undertaken, (c) explain to the Raid Leader that the complainant does not feel a resolution has been reached, and then (d) approach the Guild Leader. If necessary, please be ready to provide screenshots of any offending behaviour.Essential AddOns
These addons are not required, however, depending on your class/spec, you may find them useful: Decursive for classes that have any "remove curse" type abilities. A very small, inconspicuous addon which aids removal of curses on raid members. Healbot for the healers amongst you - similar idea to the Decursive addon but for healing. Pallypower for Paladins in order to co-ordinate buffs more easily. Sign-up Preference will be given to players who have signed up. All sign-ups will be manually accepted/put on standby. Please check the Calendar for updates as to your raid status. If you have multiple characters that are raid ready please sign up with your preferred class and let the raid organiser know if you have others you are happy to use. Inclusion in one round of bosses does not guarantee you a place for the next round, although preference may be given, assuming your gear/dps/abilities are viable. Please note .. it is NOT acceptable to complain that you never get picked, if you never put your name down! Please ensure you are not "locked" out of the instance prior to putting you name down. Protocol If you need/want to leave at a particular time please let the raid leader know before start (most raids will usually finished between 12midnight-1am server time/11pm-midnight UK time). Please ensure you know the start time and be online by that time at the very latest (unless otherwise arranged with the raid leader). If absent during raid setup you will probably lose your place, and could possibly cause the entire raid to be cancelled. Guild members who regularly fail to attend raids they have signed up for are much less likely to get picked for future raids. Make sure that you have necessary buff foods, potions, ammunition and reagents prior to raid start time. Always come fully repaired. Loot Loot is dealt with using the "Master Looter" in-game system. Any loot on "your" body is automatically yours if it is green quality or below. Any "blue" or above items will be dealt with via the Master Looter system, which means that everyone will get the opportunity to inspect the item, but only those who can actually use the item are able to roll for it. Need rolls are class and spec needs…greed rolls are off-spec desires. Please inspect the item to be rolled for prior to rolling to avoid misunderstandings. "Need" means that it would be an upgrade AND is targeted for your current spec (if you are not sure what this means, please check out the forum thread here). Should an item drop that is Bind on Equip, everyone in the group should roll "Greed", regardless of class, level, spec, etc. Should a member of the group, or indeed the guild, wish to open negotiations with the winner of the item they must do so privately at the end of the instance run, at a suitable time to be agreed between the two parties If no-one wants an item, it will be disenchanted at the time of the drop and the resultant shard, etc, will be rolled for by everyone at the end of the run. If more than one shard is gained during the course of that run, the top two (or more) rolls will win one apiece. Should any members no longer be present during the rolling process, a current member of the raid group will be asked to roll on their behalf. Alternatively, shards may be placed in the guild vault for the use of all guild members. Complete chat silence is required during a roll. Ventrilo Ventrilo is required in order to raid with us. We have a 15 slot vent server to cater for a 10 man raid and a few extras (either those who wish to join in the chat, or if a group wishes to use it in a 5 man instance run). Some leeway will be given to new members, to give them time to get the software and hardware required (the software is a free download, easily set up, the hardware involves either just a set of speakers, or headphones/mic - easily acquired for very little outlay). We use Ventrilo in order to discuss strategies before, during and after various raid encounters, together with discussing loot distribution, etc. When strategy is being explained over Vent, we expect other members to be silent in order for everyone to hear. Should you have a question, or wish to change part of the strategy, please wait until the end of the explanation. During a boss fight, please keep chat to a minimum - strategies may need to be amended during a fight, notifications given, and they must be able to be heard. Please be aware that our guild is made up of members from many countries - please try to ensure that you have a good connection and speak clearly in order for others to understand you. If you cannot understand something that has been said, please ask for it to be repeated - it's always better to ask for clarification than wiping because you didn't understand. 5-Man/Low level Raiding Loot For any instance/party groups outside of the usual raid environment, unless otherwise stated (prior to the start of the run!), the normal Blizzard Group Loot system will be used. This means that for every item that is "green" quality of higher, everyone will automatically be asked to either pass, disenchant (if there is an enchanter in the group) greed or need. Should an item drop that is Bind on Equip, everyone in the group should roll "Greed", regardless of class, level, spec, etc. Should a member of the group, or indeed the guild, wish to open negotiations with the winner of the item they must do so privately at the end of the instance run, at a suitable time to be agreed between the two parties For Bind on Pickup items, only "Need" if it is an upgrade in your current spec. If no-one wants it as an upgrade for current spec, then off-spec can be rolled for under the "Need" option. If it isn't needed for either spec, then party members are free to either greed, disenchant or pass. Amended and updated 12 May 2010 | ||
