This latest guest post comes from the evil tyrant awesome guild leader and raid leader Alas. She is helping me out with content for the blog because I’m le tired. Writing epic verse is toooooo haaaard.
Hey everyone. It’s […]

So, what happens when a guild without officers swells to almost 2 10-man groups? All of a sudden, Alas has more than she can reasonably handle. Every little QQ is ending up on her doorstep.
We had to help her […]

ArcaneTinkerTank (otherwise known as Gnoble, Husband, and He Who Sleeps On Couch) is dead wrong. Now what?
It all started when Gnoble announced that he was going to start tracking death rates on raids. With like, numbers.
Now we can […]

Scenario 1
You sign up for ICC. At go-time, the raid leader announces that there aren’t enough people signed up to do ICC, but if we pull in some casual players, we can do a lower-level instance like Ulduar. Let’s […]

This happens every expansion. The expansion hits and you have those couple people in your guild who take three days off of work and next thing you know they are max level. Meanwhile you have just found the first flight […]

OMG, have you seen the new raid leader tools? Raid leaders can do a role check (Tank, Heals, DPS) for everyone to select a role (no longer do we have to rely on the sloppy “heals in group 5″ technique.) If […]

As I’ve been telling you, the center icon is our friend. The center icon is sacred. And the center icon is what you need to use for raid debuffs.
If you are not using the center icon for […]

I joined a 25 for the first time in a while, and it went smashingly well, but I realized that I have some wisdom to share with you.
TL;DR
(Edited based on comments! Thanks guys and gals!)
Ah the magic of healing assignments! Don’t let your raid leader fool you. You need them. If he says “WTF JUST HEAL!!!” it’s a good sign to get out now.
If you […]

If your guild is diligent in uploading your logs to world of logs, you can easily see who attended which raids.
Step 1: Find your guild
You do not need to log in.

Requiring Mods
Does your guild require certain mods?
Most guilds require a boss mod. That’s pretty much a given. After that, many require a threat meter.
Then we start getting specific. Many guilds will require […]

This whom to roster for your spots, like wow.com talked about a few weeks ago – filling spots based on attendance, rotation, seniority, or proficiency. This is about when you fill your slots.
This tension occurred to me when I […]

Last week, I led… some raids and attended others.
I’m tired.
ICC-10 (Tuesday)
But first a side note:
To all raid leaders out there: taking a break is all well and good. People get burnt out. But when one of […]

In an effort to get guildies in all time zones involved in our raiding program, I put up a signup for a “late” TOC-10 on Saturday night. To my surprise, it was popular (even with people who can usually attend […]

When you have a small guild and a small healing force, you tend to know people’s strengths and weaknesses very well. This sometimes leads to unconventional healing assignments based on what the player is best-suited for, not what the class […]

This is kind of an open-ended question, as our guild (and I would imagine other guilds) are struggling with this.
The Altaholic is the culprit
The scenario that every guild wants to avoid is the “altaholic” that gears up toon […]

As you may know, I am in a casual raiding guild. One of our principles is that everyone gets to participate, provided that they make the effort to get geared and ready. However, it’s a constant battle to make sure […]

So you’re in a 10 man, and things are going poorly. You keep hitting the enrage timer. You just can’t dps fast enough. And the healers are healing their butts off and running oom.
And the raid leader says what […]

I usually get stuck with healing assignments, so here is my opinion on tank healing in a 10 man raid. The alternative to me doing healing assignments is that nobody does them and it’s a holy hell mess. But that’s […]
