Raid awareness

During part of the SSC run we did this Friday, I spent a long time almost compleatly unbuffed, despite yelling me head off the whole time. I also noticed that a large amount of people were missing the druid buffs as my Add-ons are configured display this as I'm usually the only druid.

If you are raiding you need to be aware of who has and hasn't got your buffs, if you find it hard to follow then get a mod assist you. I would recomend grid as you can add buffs manually or via add-ons. Next you need to pay attention to them, pally power might not have been set up to give me 10min BoM but it was sure as hell set up to give druids blessing of wisdom, which I never got.

Also, you also need to pay attention to /raid, as some of us are unable to speak via TS. If it's all getting jumbled up with /g and what have you then make a separate chat window for it, I find this very helpful and is easy to do with the standard UI. Finally if you see someone being ignored in /raid and you can speak up on TS then do so, it will save time and prevent stress.

Sorry Zooggy for being abit snappy when you wispered me, I was very stressed by that time and didn't intend to be rude.

Ahey, :)

Ah, it's no trouble, mate. :) It was nearing the end of the raid and peeps were getting on their tired side, anyway, which is probably where that was coming from, tbh...

Anyway, even with all of that, I still had a blast, today, so thanks for being a part of that. :)

And stellar tanking from T-Bone on Hydross. Stellar. :)

Cheers,
J.

Thank you Zooggy :)

And Aymasia, the buffs you were complaining about not having could not be rebuffed as Woogle left the raid and we had to jumble the buffs about and you could not get them all. You got Kings and Salv as they are the most important way to scale performance without causing a lot more danger. Everyone will get these two buffs first, ALWAYS and only when there are three or more Paladins can you get buffs you would like such as Might.

I did say that but you didn't respond to it so maybe you didn't hear or understand, maybe I wasn't making myself clear, I don't know but hey...

I did get kings at some point, but never the second pala buff. It should have been salv except for the pull you wanted me to tank for, and I knew I had had forgeten that Woogle had left.

You can easily improve this yourself: Get a microphone/headset if you want to be noticed better. It makes things easier for everyone. ;)

As I'm currently at my parent's house, I can't speak on TS even though I have a microphone after 9/10 ish since they are REALLY light sleepers. Nothing I can do about :(. However, come 7th of sept I'll be in Lincoln again and compleatly at liberty to bitch frequently all night long, enyoy :)

Some people can't use mics for whatever reason; some can't because of family/flatmates, some can't because of buggered sound cards, and once we even had a deaf girl in the guild, so she couldn't use TS at all. TS is incredibly useful, and it is a necessity, but we shouldn't consider the ability to speak on it to be equally necessary. Listening is what really counts.

Of course speaking is not as necessary as listening. Not having small children or light-sleeping parents in my home I wasn't even considering people not being able to speak for other than technical reasons. I apologize for that.
