We're heading into heroics on Sunday. Currently 6/7 on NM. Time to get some more gear and see what kind of damage we can do to heroics during the first week's lockout! See you all there at 5:30p PST!
Week before raid
Study up – boss guides, MMO Champion class forums, whatever your preferred preparation method
Read up on team strategy as posted in WAI Roster Mgmt spreadsheet
Practice in LFR, Normal, or Heroic
Log your practice sessions and review your logs for areas of trouble & opportunity
2 days before raid
Make a list of upgrades so you’re prepared in advance of loot dropping
Note your boss requests in the WAI Roster Mgmt spreadsheet
1 day before raid
Reboot your PC and router (if that’s likely to be helpful)
Gather personal consumables (food, potions, flasks, elixirs)
Make sure RCLootCouncil is installed and enabled.
30 minutes before raid
Check your gear for temporary items (Dalaran ring, Stormwind cloak, etc.)
Repair your gear
Double-check your gear optimization (best pieces, gems, enchants)
15 minutes before raid
Get into CTR Mumble Raid 20
Whisper Prema “Working” (without quotes) for auto invite
Get to the instance and help kill trash
Raid time
Check your food and flasks before each fight
Check your talents and glyphs before each fight
Get your raid buffs out and keep them up as needed
Be quick to select your loot options after each fight
Trash killing is social time, when trash is dead, clear Mumble for boss-killing time
Bring a cheerful attitude and the confidence of knowing you are well prepared to every raid. This is a team effort; none of us can succeed or fail on our own.
