... start your farming engines !

It's time to prepare your toons to take them on cataclysm raids !
This means there's alot of "reading" , "learning" and "educating" to be done before we can start off ...

Let's start with your gear (the easy, yet somewhat annoying task).
Please, take the time to read up on these threads (obviously click through to the ones corresponding to the characters you're planning to raid with) and gear up your chars ! These links will be very helpful, trust me :

Next, you need to understand how your mechanics work ... there's a huge amount of resources for that, but one of the best ones is surely elitistjerks, so make sure you've gone through a few of their threads on how your class works in cataclysm to make sure you're really getting out the max performance from ur character!
Elitisjerks Forum

And last but not least, you need to make sure you know quite something about the raid encounters, so you're not completely surprised when there's a huge spot of shadow AoE under ur feet which starts hitting u tongue

  • Love2PlayWoW.com - new website from the makers of learn2playwow.com
  • TankSpot.com - The usual suspects
  • WoWwiki - scroll down to "Instances and PvP" and you'll see 10/25man raids in the lists aswell. Lots of strategies and tactics can be read up there, including detailed descriptions about the bosses abilities etc.

That should do it for now !
Plenty of material to go through before you can call yourself "prepared for raids", so make sure you do your homework thoroughly and don't waste anybodys time by standing in the fire (achievments excluded tongue ) !

i understand that role setup is going to be much different than in wotlk, but it's not something that needs to be prepared before we're even raiding, 'cause i dont think there's any class that we will never need ... so it's something we will have to "setup" ( tongue ) right before the specific raid, but in the end, we're going to need every kind of class/spec combo (sort of) for some raid ;-)

all this is useless tho, if the person is running around in 318 ilvl greens tongue

WoW Heroes is working again by the way.

Just make sure to mark the "live box" and wait for the site to load all current level 85 members in our guild. The gearing points is NOT measured in gear score value, just in case anyone is wondering.
