PvE for Beginners: Raids, Roles and Preparation

A raid is not about “many players”, but about discipline: everyone knows their role, and the result depends on it.

Roles

  • Tank - holds the boss, controls the position.
  • Healer — maintains the health of the group, knows the mechanics of damage.
  • Fighter (DPS) — maximum damage to the target and correct work with mechanics.

What to take on a raid

  • Food with a stat bonus,bottles and potions.
  • Spare reagents for healing/resurrections.
  • Addons: DBM (timers), damage counter, group frames for healers.

How not to let us down

  • Look at the mechanic timers, not just the damage bar.
  • Do not stand in the fire or under the front-facing cameras - this will speed up the wipe.
  • If you are given a role (for example, “running”), fulfill it even if you lose damage.

How to get into a raid

Start with dungeons and heroics, then look for a guild. Look at the online servers: on a live server, a raid for 25 people assembles quickly, on a dead server it does not assemble at all.
