This week I was just wondering about the mysterious world of officer decisions - they have to make them, but how much of their reasoning do you think they should share with their guild?

None,
Some,
Lots,
All,
On demand?

What do you do if you are an officer? Or what do your officers do? What do you think is best?

While I was trying to get my friend cleaved while tanking I thought about how evil tanks could help train people to not stand in fire.

For example if you pulled mobs into your group instead of a good place, turned them towards people, took more damage than you need to, etc. You could train them to move out of hazards, heal burst dam (/sit, heh), move while doing things etc.

Maybe us tanks facilitate lazy people who stand in fire and can't heal spike damage, and we...

I am in a great new guild and they even let me tank stuff despite having at least 3 tanks (2 warriors and a pally) that outgear me.

So in case you were wondering, you are fine in your badge, ZA and ssc/tk (no kael/vashj loot) for all bosses in Hyjal...EXCEPT Archimonde. You are fine for first 3 of BT too, will let you know about the rest later.

You want at least 20k health and some decent avoidance for Archimonde, unless you add in a couple extra healers or something....

Tanked this twice over the weekend, and learnt quite a lot because the RL was just "Tank, do your thing!" which was a little tough since I had never set foot into Sunwell before. This is a long guide for something so simple but someone may want to run one or get thrown in and may want to know what to expect.

Raid needs:
- 1 Tank (around t5 level, could maybe get away with less if your healers rock)
- 5-7 healers (depends how good they are)
- 6 mages...

I have noticed this before, but more often now that I pug a lot - there are people who do amazing dps/healing/tanking, but suck horribly despite this. There are two main reasons that they suck - not paying attention/listening, and lack of mobility.

They can even be in tier 6 because most high end guilds will tolerate a certain % of people who "always stand in the fire, lol" and who need to be told exactly what they have to do.

You will notice these people...
