Once we have the class leaders, we will post them up :)

I'm also receiving plenty of comments via PM, so please, if you have any concerns, let me know. There is one area that will be tweaked slightly and I will post when this has been done.

what about raid lock outs whats happening with these? we could use this to our advantage atm, for example we could keep ToC25 on 1 week reset, as it really is a quick instance once we have it under control. Uld25 we could use the full 2 week raid extension, we are doing really well in there and its a shame to go in there week after week, and only get as far as 3 watchers down because we dont use the extended lock out.

It's actually ranged dps class lead, so you'd also need to be aware of the others too :)

If you're still up for it, then we'll get you promoted :)

Just a little note from me..
I have to say that i don't wanna loose my raiding spot cause of my work...:g:
I work for 112, this means irregular shifts. And i mean really irregular shifts. It can happen that i can't raid for more then a week because of my work. And i don't know if i can make up for that in the other weeks to keep my attendence up.... But just to let you guys know i will always sign up for the nights that i can come. Let's just hope i can keep my attendence up
 
Vanguish
 
oooh saw that the attendence was updated now.... raiding once every 2 weeks is no problem at all ;)

I am more than happy to help with the ranged dps lead if I can possibly be of any use.  I have many chars that are mostly ranged so I not only know my own class but understand the mechanics of all ranged dps.

Plus I make a mean fish feast & have loads of moral to offer...Evo taught me well as did Sheep...go kill ****!!! :p

We're in the process of incorporating ToC into a fluid schedule that will probably involve ToC on thursdays and Uld on sunday/tuesdays. It may not be a bad idea what you say here.

In my opinion when talking about class leaders, then there needs to be only one leader who knows all the ranged classes, one that knows all the tanking and one who knows all the healing and also what the different specialities are supposed to do. Not like there is going to be 5 person in ranged, 3 in tanking and 8 in healing all wondering what to do. Suggestions are always welcome but at the end of the day one person should decide it and then stick to it.

You have to take into consideration when say Evoxer isnt here, who's a healing leader, then someone would have to take over, which would be Jas... So having 2 maybe 3 is fine in my books

Of course you're looking at only one of those leaders doing pre-pull checklists etc. per raid, not 2 ppl talking through eachother. :)

That is right, there can be like second in charge and third in charge etc, but when the first is a round he's the only boss. I just ment that if you have N amount of leaders that they don't all try to lead because, that will end up in tears.

Don't forget that the raiding side is a small part of the class leader role. The most part will be to monitor performance after the raid using the logs to ensure that everyone in your class is performing as expected. If someone is off by a large margin, you will need to find out why and correct it.

I have plenty of people wanting to give it a shot and the officers have a list of candidates. We will be asking them this week to see if they want the job. Once it's all settled, we will post up the class leaders on the forum.

Hi guys, I just wanted to say that the new changes are nice and certainly will benefit the raiding progress, and actually are quite fair and equitative to everybody, which is good.
 
I had finally managed to solve my issue with my computer / network /(or whatever the F*** that was preventing my WoW to login with Saori in Dalaran) and I'm happy to say that I can commit to most of the raiding nights (2/3 per week).
 
Thank you guys for all the brains put on this. Managing the guild is not an easy task and it deserves plenty of respect to all the thinkers that are behind the guild moving things forward. :)
