ners...
Some hints for the new raider, things most consider to be 'common knowledge'.
Do Your Homework!
1) Which raid talents are ideal for my spec?
2) What is the best raid spell rotation for my spec?
3) Which stats should be highest on my gear, gems, and enchants?
Easily answered - head over to www.raider101.com. A quick read but the difference in your raid contribution can be monumental.
Come Prepared!
1) Do I have the guild-required mods? livyatan.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=g&action=display&thread=1440
2) Do I have the proper gear level for the raid? (Have your heroic gear before Naxx and have your Naxx/Eoe gear before Ulduar.) www.wow-heroes.com
3) Do I have my gear properly gemmed/enchanted? www.raider101.com
4) Do I know the boss strategies we're using today? www.bosskillers.com
Outside of talents and spell rotations, this is the biggest arbiter of how well a raid performs. This is the difference between and easy clear and hours upon hours of wipes.
So that's it. These aren't rules you can be burned for per se... but they are considered minimum for raid participation... this keeps you from being labeled 'noobish' or inconsiderate by even the jerkiest raiders (thank god i'm in wm hey). Do this, and you have the right to expect success.
