Raid Idea

[septhrenia]

Just an idea its something we use to do in my old guild <lost> for when we was 25 man raiding.

Each set of class had its own channel for example Rebirthhealers all the healers would join this channel and it would let us discuss between ourselves healing targets etc this let us stay off the vent and stopped raid chat getting clogged up with us asking questions etc it worked really well cuz it also takes a bit of the pressure of the raid leader by delegating more responseabilty to the class leaders becuz any1 who has raid lead knows they have enough to think about any1 just an idea

Althought thats sort of a good idea to keep vent clean, it has alot of flaws for example some raids require the tank to watch what target the boss is going for so he can shout out who needs healing and I dont think healers can afford to watch the boss's target while healing, plus theres the whole problem of not being able to talk to the healers to assign their targets if things go tits up half way through a fight.

Although its a good idea for smaller raids like kara or FFA raid healing like the gruuls fight, I dont think its gonna benefit us not being able to talk to the healers in places like ssc or tk.

u can still talk to the healers its just an added TEXT channel not a vent channel used at the beginning of fights to assign healers etc

What seph means is pretty good actually.
It means u have a chat channel inside wow, just like the trade channel. In there u can then type who is buffing what, taking what targets, asking people for special things, for example healing improves, ask what would be better without having ur raid chat buggered.
We used to do it like this in a pre-guild:

The raid leader discussed with the class leaders (or the player available for that class that raid to take the lead) what they should sort. Then the "class" leaders typed into the channel of healers, Name1: u buff bok, name2: u buff wisdom etc.

Anyway, hope that clears out some stuff, works pretty well so im vouchin for it!
