Ready Check helps you prepare yourself and your raid for the bosses that simply require killing. Check back with Ready Check each week for the latest pointers on killing adds, not standing in fire, and hoping for loot that won’t drop.

For the first week in a long time, we aren’t featuring a boss guide. I’m not sure how I feel with not having my work totally scripted for me, but overall I’m up for the change of pace. I’ve been toying with doing heroic guides or not. Some of them are just so similar to their normal counterparts that there’s no tangible difference, leaving the majority of the guide being essentially the same as the previous. We’ll see, but in the meantime, I’m certainly working on something great for next raid.

That’s not this week, though. This week, I’m going to start the first of a new little mini-series: how to deal with raiders who just aren’t up to par. Let’s face it, every player functions at a different skill level; collectively, every guild has its own skill average. Sometimes, a player just doesn’t make the cut. Bosses have certain requirements, and if you’re a raiding team that wants to down these bosses, you might be faced with some hard choices. No one likes carrying other players, yet no one wants to be the bad guy that has to tell others they aren’t good enough for the team. This week, we’ll be dealing with DPSers who aren’t up to snuff.Continue reading Ready Check: Dealing with a low DPSerFiled under: Raiding, Ready Check (Raiding)Ready Check: Dealing with a low DPSer originally appeared on WoW Insider on Fri, 26 Aug 2011 09:00:00 EST.
