Come stocked

  • Bring flasks, food, potions, and a weapon oil or rune for the whole night.
  • Have your gear enchanted, gemmed, and repaired before the raid starts.
  • Keep healthstones and a personal defensive plan for each boss.

Know the fights

  • Watch or read a guide for a boss before you pull it the first time.
  • Set up your boss mod and any weak auras for the encounter.
  • Understand your specific job (soak, kick, cooldown timing) before the pull, not during.

During the raid

  • Re-apply consumables after wipes - buffs drop on death.
  • Watch a mechanic once, then execute - do not make the same mistake twice.

Key takeaways

  • Show up flasked, fed, enchanted, gemmed, and repaired.
  • Learn each boss and your specific job before pulling.
  • Re-buff after wipes and fix mistakes fast.
