Maybe we should look into getting long-term records started again at some point.<br /><br />@Syl: Problem is our raid leader is naturally someone who likes to experiment, so it doesn't even require all of us making different suggestions... ;)Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659326122793396570.post-56135160214974868962011-02-11T15:54:48.484+00:002011-02-11T15:54:48.484+00:00I guess this is a typical "too many cooks spo...I guess this is a typical "too many cooks spoil the broth" situation - while being open to suggestions is good, there needs to be a limit and point where a leader IS the leader after all and makes decisions from his perspective. otherwise you end up with utter chaos and the raid waits forever, hehe...<br /><br />it's a tough balancing act at times and probably why good leaders are rare to find. nobody needs to be perfect of course, but you need to have a knack for decision making and seeing things through. personally I'd rather give a bad strategy a go and improve it later, than having 10 people discuss stuff forever.Sylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04473554645340972749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659326122793396570.post-59765114582441844282011-02-11T14:02:24.387+00:002011-02-11T14:02:24.387+00:00I have never been to a raid, but it seems to me af...I have never been to a raid, but it seems to me after a wipe there are a few steps:<br />1)first discuss what went wrong<br />2a)Mistakes by people: try to explain what can be better and try again. This step is also part of learning/communicating so the group will eventually behave as a unity.<br />2b)If nobody made obvious mistakes and only if there is the group spirit: Change the attack plan.<br /><br />One tool which could be handy is to record the run and discuss it afterwards, which i did with a guild run of mine.
