So, I took 2 items...

...and kinda feel like a loot whore. Illidan dropped his chest and helm on the first kill and I snagged them both. It was 3x Warrior chest and I knew my fellow Warrior off-tank was going to get a chest, but nonetheless... feelin' the bad vibes.

Any other Raid Leaders get the bad vibes anytime they get gross amounts of loot?

On a happier note though, even though it's somewhat tainted by the ease that is patch 3.0, I feel oddly complete with my BC raiding experience by...

Raid Leader Mistake #32

Posted 09-30-2008 at 10:01 AM by veneretio

Changing an established Loot system at the beginning of a raid.

Under no circumstances should you do this. We all know there is no perfect loot system, so for the love of jebuz... don't try to "find" it 5 minutes before your 1st pull.

#1: You'll get asked about it
#2: You'll have to answer
#3: You're no longer focusing on the raid
#4: You're pissing off everyone, not just loot whores no matter what your intentions are

There...

Never Kick someone from the Raid at the start

Posted 09-26-2008 at 10:19 AM by veneretio

I'm not talking about the person who has it coming. I'm not talking about Disrespectful Dan or Rude Regan or even Loopy Lore. I'm talking about that guy or gal you accidently clicked invite on. Joe or Jill that found there way into the raid when you forgot about Captain America or Batman because you thought they were already in the raid, but they actually weren't.

Leave Joe and Jill alone.

Don't you dare kick that accidental invite. Your raid members show up time and...

Why the MT often makes the best Raid Leader

Posted 09-22-2008 at 11:51 AM by veneretio

I've ran with Raid Leaders of a variety of different flavours. It's most common to see the Main Tank as the Raid Leader b/c it's the natural progression from marking targets in 5 mans. It's also very common b/c a tank is forced to understand trash pulls a lot better than basically any other class or at the very least is forced to understand them in a way that affects the whole group whereas other classes that's not necessarily the case. More to the point, a tank can gain an innate gut instinct for...

Anyone can be an Average Leader

Posted 09-16-2008 at 12:34 PM by veneretio

An Average leader can run an average raid and average things can happen when everything goes average.

A Good leader can run a good raid and good things can happen when everything goes good.

A Great leader can run a great raid and great things can happen when everything goes great.

But a True Leader can take a terrible situation and endure. An average situation and make it good. An okay situation and make it great. A great opportunity and make it amazing....
