ya back on ragefire we would recruit necros with giant snake fangs in their main weapons. we had a shaman in full raw hide. really gotta teach the worthy ones so dps carries.
sounds like a good guild tho dude class leaders is the way to go have them 1 on 1 with the shitters for gear bis and rotations. thats what i thought we should do on ragefire and phini but it was all about "attrition"

Yeah I just paid the $4 or whatever to be a pro member or what not. Definitely worth since this opens your account to all the database.
Yeah i'm growing my core slowly but surely we made some class leads who really get involved with the members and it allows me to focus on herding the cats to victory.

For some classes (eg necro) as long as you have the focuses, shit in other slots doesn't matter. Trying to replace every slot is going to be worse than just focusing on key focuses.
Also a ton of returning and especially p99ers do not know about these focuses or undervalue them if they do. Many good necro focuses are quickest found on poor stat gear, eg necks from lguk live or the ol GSD.
Your class leads shouldn't just be playing gear nanny spying for cloth. They need to help people gear properly.

The setup I used with the other RL was like what you said herding cats. One person handles the raid tool and making groups while the other only led the raid. Pullers, healers, and tanks were autonomous. IE: Tanks put TO in MOTD one time so people dont have to ask or spam like retards, Clerics had CH chain or whatever setup alone, and pullers had trash pulled as soon as one group was in zone.
Second main policy also bolstered our main raids #s during the daytime which were setup VERY strict and with a lot of rules but they greatly improved our performance. Second mains can only be requested once you're main is fully BiS, the 2nd main had to be in some kind of decent gear, and lastly it was and still is 100% at our leaders discretion. He has to review your toons BOTH and talk to you before only he having the power to promote. They're limited to only bidding at a capped rate once the expansion hits 1/2 the way point and the first half they pretty much can only get rot loot.

No, I mean a nanny about weak slots. Be a gear nanny about having the critical items as opposed to being one about missing filler crap. Key focuses + garbage > missing focuses + stat gear.
Thinking about starting a magician on here. Looks like tons are boxed but are there many mains?
Really only play classes I can solo exp on.

Spent about 4 hours there yesterday on enchanter to 33 - had a warrior alt who had issues but managed to not wipe until a train of about 15. Still think we might have survived it if he hadn't kept switching targets causing casters to DoT multiple mobs.
What I don't get is the time it takes to get a group, and yet I spend 30 - 40 mins trying to find a rep that can crowd control every time.

Yes it is. The pet spawns and dies instantly, doesn't even attempt to melee anything. It's just a blank 10/25 weapon currently until/if they patch something.

The exp bonus for grouping is so tasty, and there are so many people around, that soloability really doesn't end up being much of a factor unless you're antisocial. And if you're antisocial, well, there's a TON of people around, so do you want to play here anyway?
