Hello there ppl
Here im going to put down what i think is needed for us warlocks in Raids. I sugest all these preparations are done 45min before any Raids you do. The reason for the 45min may be the need to farm shards. Here goes the list anyway and i do hope you all base your preparations around it

-Make sure that you have all the required addons installed BEFORE the raid invitation starts (CT-raid assist, Deadly Boss Mod, KTM, Team Speak).

- We need to have a min. of 25-30 shards on us BEFORE the raid starts, this for Hs and SS and ofc for soulshatter, soulfire spells etc (for the mauglar fight i recomend atleast 30-40 shards).

- I recomend the use of pots and Oils that increase spell dmg, and protection pots depending on were you have to go. To use pots and oil that increases your spell dmg is imortant if you dont have so much unbuffed so i also recomend to check up enchantments etc that can help to increase it.

- Have all your armour to 100%.

- Have at least 20 heavy netherweave bandages on you and USE them.

- Have at least 5 mana and 5 health pots on you, maybe more.

- Make sure you have enough space in your bags for possible drops you might get.

- While playing in the Raid try to keep the minimum of 13 shards on you, you never know you might need them for a whole batch of HS and SS.

This is more or less what you all need to have done before you go to any Raid. As for now all this is to be done during the day or about 45min before you plan to do any raid. Otherwise you may find yourself not going due to lack of preparation So dont be daft and take some time to get yourself ready.

Thanks Rim,
Many of these points go for any raid member, except maybe mana for rogues and warriors
Either way, I suggest you listen to your class leaders and add any suggestions you may have.
Now that we are doing the 25 man runs, organizing can be a huge chunk of the time we have for the raid, but it shouldnt be so minimizing this is essential. You have all experienced the waiting game while having people go get their acts together, and its not a fun one. Besides that, it leaves us less time to tackle the bosses we plan to.
So come prepared and motivated, and you will feel the difference.
