All of these are required for everyone seeking a spot as a team member. Team members who fail to maintain all of these requirements may be replaced.
You must have the following, each appropriate for your role on the team:
–1. Suitable raid spec
–2. All sockets gemmed with high level gems
–3. All gear enchanted with high level enchants
–4. All appropriate glyphs
Gear:
–1. Your gear should not be more than one tier behind the team you wish to join. (Gear from heroics for entry level raiding.)
–2. Reforge gear as necessary to best improve your raid performance.
Professions:
–1. Primary Professions: leveled high enough that you receive their highest level of bonus.
–2. First Aid: leveled high enough to use the highest level bandages.
Preparation
–1. Bring the following to every raid: Flasks, Potions (health, mana, and short-term buff potions), Buff food, Vanishing Dust if you swap glyphs during raids
–2. Mumble for voice communication. Install and test before raid time.
–3. Deadly Boss Mods or a similar mod that gives raid warnings.
–4. Knowledge of boss fights, by reading strategies and watching videos at TankSpot or similar site.
–5. Strong knowledge of your class mechanics, and dedication to continually improving by reading sites such as Elitist Jerks or other class specific sites. Repeated failure to perform at an acceptable level may cause you to be removed from the team.
Attendance:
–1. Each raid team will have attendance requirements, set by the team leader. Any team member who misses too many raids may be permanently replaced.
—-If you miss achievement completions due to absence, your team may or may not go back and redo them just for you.
–2. Raid invitations will be sent 15 minutes before start time. Anyone who is late may be replaced for the night. Frequent lateness may cause a member to be permanently replaced.
—-The posted start time of each raid is the time the team expects to start the first pull. You should be online at least 15 minutes before that for invites and to allow yourself time to check consumables, get to the raid instance, buff, eat, etc.
–3. If you must be absent from a raid, notify your team leader as soon as possible in advance, so he has an opportunity to schedule a sub.
Roles & Specs
–1. All raiders should be prepared to respec, or change glyphs or consumables, based on the needs of the raid that night or a particular fight.
–2. If your team leader requires you to respec, the guild will reimburse you for the cost. Speak with your team leader to have the gold mailed to you by the guild master or raid coordinator.
–3. Hybrids especially should be prepared for this, and should collect an alternate gear set for another role.
Loot Rules:
1) All gear is distributed based on a high roll out of 100.
–a) Non-gear items or BoE gear that is not an upgrade will be placed in the guild bank by the raid leader.
–b) Patterns will be rolled on by relevant crafters in the raid, or placed in the bank for guild use.
2) A player rolling for gear for their main-spec will have priority over someone rolling for their off-spec. Your main-spec is the spec you use most for progression fights on this team.
3) Players who have not yet won a main-spec item during a day’s run will have priority on main-spec items over those who have won a main-spec item.
4) Subs will normally have the same priority as regular team members (See Rule 6)
5) Passing to team members who will benefit more from an item is strongly encouraged as it better strengthens the team
6) Team Leaders have the final say on resolving any disputes over items.
