WoW: Raiding Tips for Anyone Who Wants to Raid Successfully

The first thing to know about raiding in World of Warcraft is that it's a dedicated, difficult process. Whether you're in a 10-man or a 25-man raid, you're going to need to know boss strategies and your class role/how you contribute to the group. Raiding isn't about doing your own thing; it's a team effort that can often be very frustrating, but also rewarding. Here are some WoW raiding tips for anyone who wants to be a successful raider.

First of all, remember that you're playing with other people, and that there are real people behind the characters. Be considerate, don't randomly lash out and yell because someone made a mistake and isn't being smart. Instead figure out what that other person did wrong, if you observe it, and quietly point it out to the raid leader instead of shouting over Vent or raid chat.

Secondly, be aware of everything that's going on around you, where the boss is positioned in relation to you, and what you need to be doing. If you're a tank, you're going to have to make sure the boss isn't pointed at your raid, especially if it's a dragon or other kind of mob that spits out fire/poison/glowy stuff. If you're a healer or ranged DPS, you want to be far enough away from the monsters, but close enough to heal your group members. If you're melee DPS, always be behind the mob you're DPSing so you don't trigger parries that will mess up the tank's threat. You'll also avoid dying to boss cleaves this way.

The last tip for getting into raiding is to always go to raids stocked with consumables, reagents, and money to repair. You should show up at a raid 15 minutes early to allow for summoning and preparation for the raid itself. Don't be late and don't hold up the whole raid because you forgot to do something. Early is on time; on time is late.

Keep these things in mind for raiding in WoW and you should be able to start a successful raiding career. Above all, have fun!
