Raiding

This week's questions all revolve around having one-on-one conversations with your players. What's the best approach? Read on to find out!

One of the biggest (in terms of success) raid guilds in the world has decided to step back. Blood Legion, a US raiding guild on the Illidan server, has decided to scale back their raiding hours.

The third wing of Blackrock Foundry LFR, Iron Assembly, opens up today. It consists of 3 bosses: Beastlord Darmac, Operator Thogar, and the Iron Maidens. Our bosses in 5 seconds series focuses on the core points you need to know going into these fights.

Another Tuesday means we get a new LFR wing of Blackrock Foundry (at least for North American and Australian players: Europe, you'll have your new wing tomorrow). This will be the third of four LFR wings for Foundry, but with such a long wait between the release of normal and LFR, we have to wonder: are you still waiting for Foundry's LFR wings? Sure, LFR is easier to tackle (and easier to schedule around), but with normal mode released over a month ago, how many of you have been waiting for LFR to hit up Foundry content?

A few weeks before Icecrown Citadel was released the officers of my raiding guild had this brilliant idea that we should all faction transfer to Alliance, and then — because our server was terribly imbalanced toward Horde — server transfer as well.

Horridon still gives me nightmares. But before we get to that, we have questions about recruiting and about a trio of raiders who refuse to raid unless they can all participate -- and with their preferred specs. We also have an in-depth question about the proper progression path in Warlords and how it has affected raid morale.

Officers' Quarters answers your questions! This week we cover PUGs, coaching your raiders, raid sizes, and the expectations when you join a raiding guild.

The second wing of Blackrock Foundry LFR, The Black Forge, opens up today. It consists of 3 bosses: Hans'gar and Franzok, Flamebender Ka'graz, and Kromog. Our bosses in 5 seconds series focuses on the core points you need to know going into these fights.

Mythic difficulty for Blackrock Foundry has only been open for a little over a week, but European guild Method successfully defeated Blackhand, the final boss, and claimed the world first Mythic Blackhand kill earlier today.

Welcome to the new Officers' Quarters!
