New raid requirements

[merlinmast]

Ok so our first raid run was a little hectic :-p In order to ensure a smooth raiding experience we're going to, along with the general gear requirement, require you have the "Cataclysm Dungeon Hero" achievement.

This achievement simply requires that you've run all the heroic dungeons at least once. If you are sufficiently geared this is not likely an issue. The significance of this is that you would have experienced many different difficult fight mechanics.

This is not an attempt to snub fellow giuldies, but a means to show respect to those who wish to do progression raiding. I and many others who already have this feat accomplished will be more than happy to help you finish it as well. However, no one will be dragged through. You must request aid if you need it and you must pull your weight to show you understand the concepts.

Any questions can be posted here or asked in game. Hope to raid with you soon :-)

I'd like to note some additional requests rather than requirements. Though some may have the above achievement...and the gear level...you still need to know how to use your character. The raids require a minimum average of 10k dps per person just to beat the enrage timers just about. You can't rely on other people to pick up the slack so make sure you're at least close (like 8k) before trying to get into the raids.

I think it should be required that all kiting needed should be done by Mages only.

LOL, nice try Death. You may have lucked out though. We downed Magmaw last night with me kiting on my death knight (Xenotia). So, I might be stuck kiting all the time anyway for BWD. Be nice for you guys to learn it though so I can have some alternatives too
