Wildstar For those Attuned or Close to Being Attuned

Over Analystical Extreme Gambler
As of writing this, we are about 10 days away from raiding! We're cutting it down to the wire on getting people attuned, but I want to remind people a few things so it's not a surprise on raid night!

BE PREPARED TO WIPE. This means have plenty of gold/plat to cover your own

Repair Bills
Potions
Food Items

Also make sure your gear is fully runed, main spec and off spec. Reminder for our tanks and healers, don't be someone who only has one spec and refuses to play any other role. We are a team, and we need to fill any/all gaps as needed. If you're not needed to heal/tank and we need more dps, you're hurting the team.

Please be punctual to the best of your abilities. I know the time zones makes this a bit more difficult, but there's nothing worse than losing an hour of raid time because someone took a nap and didn't wake up.

There will be a post very shortly about loot distribution systems.

dainjre , chime in when you can. I'll need you to set up a raid event calender on the site so we can get confirmations for people on the site.
 
In an effort reduce the time talking about all of the fights. I would also suggest researching the fights beforehand. This takes a huge load off the leadership and makes you a better player! If you have the time, there are plenty of guides out there. I will search for some good ones.

Perfect segue.

I was going to make new posts about raid boss videos (I think they exist somewhere on the site already but wanted to make it more easily findable)
 
Ive run dungeons with almost everyone now. I know everyone is competent enough not to get constantly hit by mechanics, even Cheese does a good job dodging most telegraphs with the worst ping here.

Everyone will need to drfinitely have a stack of food per night we start because we will most assuredly be wiping often. Even spellslingers and stalkers will die. Please be prepared to slam your face into a wall because even the trash in GA is real.

With all that said, Im gonna need some raid lieutenants who will be assisting with speaking up about interrupt rotations and other boss mechanics in the middle of the fights. These should be the only voices in the fights besides Gyoin and me that we hear so we keep everything concise during runs. Spicyjoobrew LaNCeRs and Milleuda have run nearly every group through, all three do an amazing job of not only calling things but also do a lot of work helping with mechanics. These three, as long as i dont hear any objections from them will be the lieutenants because I'm sure they have earned respect from everyone here.

Last but not least, please watch or read what GA guides you can in your spare time. Even though mechanics will be glossed over at the start of the fights, you will be responsible for knowing beforehand what to expect. That is all.

don't forget guys, gyoin made an excellent thread with some basic video guides. It even includes vids for the mini bosses!

Can we get these videos stickied somewhere? Since these will be the most watched videos for some time, we should make it as accessible as possible.

and my backup spec is full raid utility which includes armor shred,power link, and overwhelming presence

Awesome. And as to the post you changed, spicy is a little more vocal than you in fights about interrupts. Please dont take it personally. I think you're a great tank and I trust you with my life (and repair bills).
 
Well I used the be the sole person calling interrupts and other stuff plus explaining fight you just where not around for that

Its ok it was meant to be a joking statement

I DIDNT MEAN TO HURT YOU BABY. naw. i know youre a cool guy. And from my raiding experience, i know we're gonna need to switch tanks around for different bosses because some people/classes are going to be better than others. Obviously whoever is MTing the fight is gonna need to talk.
 
Just caught up on this thread. I didn't ask to be the one talking for interrupts, but I also don't mind doing it and am glad to help! I don't want to step on anyone's toes on the topic of whom will be speaking, so let's just do whatever works and keeps people happy.

WITH THAT SAID, there is also an extra burden put on anyone wanted to/expected to speak. Essentially, raid ldr and lieutenants will have what amounts to "wildstar homework"after initial strategy attempts. As a leader or a follower, I personally expect these people to put in 3+ hours a week extra refining strategies and methods through research and cross-referencing data. Its not unreasonable even as casual raiders to expect this and even want self-fulfillment out of this extra role. Just something to keep I mind. All this will be required to make us effective with our time!
 
Yep I had edited my post from before but I have some some time as both a raid leader running stuff and a officer and this is true you have to able go the extra mile for the guild/raid
