RAID LEADER RESPONSIBILITIES

We are reposting these guidelines in a new section after having reviewed and implemented them for a few weeks.

Raid Leader responsibilities:
- Researching of boss strategies and posting of strategy information on the guild website
- Scheduling of raids in-game (including what bosses to focus on and using the in-game calendar function to create the event)
- (To a lesser degree) Ensuring that there are sufficient supplies of raid consumables (flasks, feasts, potions, etc.). Note that this is really the responsibility of all of the members of the guild to provide...the raid leader just points out if there is not enough and then potentially uses guild bank funds to purchase these as a last resort
- Assembling the raid team in a timely manner. This includes filling any open positions with players from other teams or if necessary, outside the guild (pugs). This also includes which toons are to be used (for players with multiple raiding toons)
- Identifying roster deficiencies to the GMs so that appropriate recruitment can take place. It is not the raid leader's responsibility to actually recruit (although we won't be hurt if you do), but we may want the raid leader to assess any new recruits in a raid environment to determine their viability.
- Distribution of raid loot in accordance with the guild loot rules. Ultimately, it should be the raid leader's decision to use an open roll or a loot council for a piece of gear for which multiple players could use. Again, the ultimate goal of loot distribution is to provide the guild with the best chance at downing future bosses.
- Ensuring that the current GMs are aware of any problems/obstacles so that they may provide assistance when needed[b]
