Raid Rules

Most important rule of raiding: Do not spam guild chat. Use tells, Ask in group!

1. Always push mob towards Main assists. This will cut down on the ripostes, which will lower the amount of needless damage healers have to heal (leaves more mana at the end of the fight).
2. Main assists, be aware of where you are, make your incoming message clear. Don't get backed into a wall. You control how the mob moves.
3. Healers, 1 Cleric should not be oom, while another beside them is FM. Talk, try to never go under 50% mana from buffs. Save the mana for emergencies, and assist heal off mobs if you have an over abundance of mana.
4. Loot
   • There is generally someone assigned to handle loot. They will relay the stats if its a new piece of loot.
   • Otherwise, you should inform yourself previous to the raid. If your curious, wait and send a tell to the loot coordinator. Not spam /guild. They will relay to guild if they choose.
   • Do not enter for loot you have no idea what it is.
   • Do not send a tell to the loot coordinator to be in on a lotto until she/he announces it.
   • No arguing about loot at all, ever, period. Keep it to yourself and send an email to loot coordinator or officer later.
   • We should never have loot disagreements on any public channels, including guild chat.
5. Spam
   • When we are raiding, don't spam.
   • When people are missing raid commands, don't spam. Use /tells to talk to someone directly.
   • This isn't always applicable, use your judgment.
6. Show up on time. We used to have an issue with people arriving late, we fixed it, but its beginning to become a problem again.
   • If you are not at the raid at the start time, its your responsibility to find your own way there.
     • Do not ask in /guild.
     • The gaters are trying to enjoy the raid as well, and do not need to feel guilty to go pick you up.
     • Pay a little cash, and buy a gate if you need to.
7. Do not expect extended AFK time.
   • If you do go afk, inform your group leader, who is to inform the raid leader.
   • Through tells.
   • Auto on the cleric or other healer in your group
8. Group leaders are responsible for their groups.
9. Don't be overly confident, and especially not in a public channel. It makes us all look foolish if we cannot live up to your boasts.
10. Don't be down on others, guilds or people. It makes you look bad, even if true. We all need to pay more attention to this, myself included.
11. Give ample warning of when you have to leave if its before the end of the raid. We all rely on each other.
12. Resists. Should have a min of 100 in Fire, and 100 in Cold. Unbuffed. If you need additional gear, talk to Feuille when she's not busy and she can maybe help you out. Those 100's are minimums.
13. On some raids we are hopefully far beyond the point where someone needs to assign groups. I want to see the clerics or a gater form up groups without prompting. Some mobs this applies to are Wuoshi, epic quest mobs, other places where we are not exactly doing a formal raid. First rule is always put LFG up, so group leaders can easily tell who is available and do not spam guild chat with your LFG announcements.
14. Only group leaders should request a group buff such as Circle of Seasons or Focus.
    • You are wasting someone's mana if two or more people from the same group ask.
    • If you have a death in the group and that person needs to be rebuffed, the group leader should request it.
    • If Group Leaders don't know who to ask please do not spam guild chat trying to find out.
    • Send tells for buffs
15. Only group leaders should be asking for rezzes for group members and they should be doing this in tells only. If you don't know who to consent, don't spam guild chat asking.
