Raid Rosters

*** Major Update ***

When iRaid launched first week of January 2012, Ronin did not have enough geared raiders to fill a 10-man. Today, it has more than fit in a 10-man. These things we know already. Nowadays, we juggle who is available which week and hence based on balancing each raid is which group they have been assigned to - many people staying in the same group week after week, and some changing occasionally to maintain balance and to attack specific goals that week (e.g. getting a guild achv for a boss kill).

The masses have spoken and people would prefer that each group have a pretty permanent roster. Rather than two mixed groups within iRaid, a guild group has been requested and rostered. Beartooth and several other Ronin will continue leading the iRaid group - we have no interest in just dropping those people, consolidating down to one group and benching many each week, nor in any other option that basically reduces how many people are raiding.

For clarity's sake, the raid rosters are available in the following google document:

It is HIGHLY recommended that if you want to keep your guild raid seat, that you pay careful attention to being reliable in showing up each week. The benefit of the larger iRaid group was that there was more built in flexibility to personal schedules and routine outages for stretches of time (e.g. someone is typically available on Saturdays but for the next 2 months is not). However, in the smaller groups, if someone were to have a known long-term outage, that person is likely going to be replaced unless the raid group is going to gamble on whether they have a full 10 people each week.

The guild group has our best tank, our best healer, and our best geared dps. Where it is at risk, is regular and reliable attendance. Take care of that, and the road ahead is smooth sailing.
