One of my primary concerns in our 25 player raids is performance, because of this I am known as the Officer with the annoying tattle tale mods. I run Big Brother, RaidBuffStatus, and Recount.

When it comes to leading people, whether it is on the battlefield or through the next big instance, a huge thing to remember is how your actions affect the other leaders around you. Your decisions as a squad leader or class leader, battalion commander or guild officer can easily cause problems. As a leader, here are five thoughts to keep in mind before problems arise. The biggest thing to remember about World of Warcraft is that it is a game. I bought and play the game to have fun. Something I have been wanting to share are screenshot of me doing just that. So here we go: When I was in high school, I joined the ROTC program. I spent four years in the program learning Marine Corps customs, courtesies, map reading skills, and most importantly how to lead. The course was taught by two retired Marines, a Major and a Master Sergeant. Both were outstanding Marines and had put in 20+ years serving their country. While I respected both of them, the Master Sergeant is who I looked up to and thought of as my hero. This man was part of Operation Frequent Wind, had taught new Marines as a Drill Instructor, taught new Marine officers at Quantico, and was all around a bad ass salty devil dog. I spent four years with that Marine learning everything I could and advancing until I was put in command of the unit. The other night a few friends and I were grouped up playing Call of Duty MW2 on our XBOX 360s. During one of the breaks between game sessions, the following conversation took place: Thus far I have avoided writing about anything personal on my blog. Why? I wanted to focus mainly on raiding in World of Warcraft. However an event in my life helped to backup the thoughts I had shared here. Here we have our 25 man raid fighting Lord J in TotGC. The last few videos had me tanking bosses in 10 man, however this one has me DPS-ing. Why is that you might ask? Well, a Warrior tank is better suited for the encounter because of two special abilities.
A few things I want you guys to look at in this video:
Retribution vs Anub’arak in Trail of the Grand Crusader 10 Man: A few things I want those new to the encounter to look at:
A few weeks ago Raid Invite had a few problems with our host provider. There were a few days of downtime, where the site was either totally offline or unbearably slow to load. After several attempts to contact support, whether it be through their email account or java based chat room, I decided the best course of action was to drop them. If they couldn’t be reliable enough to keep my website up and running then there was no need to spend my money on their services. I promptly switched to a new host provider and am (so far) very happy with the service. Been spending a lot of my time trying working on videos for raid kills. I’m sure I still have plenty to learn but here is our 10 mans kill of Twin Valks in Trial of the Grand Crusader. Edit: Video has been redone. Learned a lot this week, special thanks go out to my guildie Strifect for putting up with my questions! |
