Raid - Mandatory Steps
To be able to survive and to thrive in Naxxramas we need to work as a team. We need communication and an understanding of goals.
Raid Preparation
To communicate we need to talk to each other. We use Teamspeak
You need to download Teamspeak. http://www.teamspeak.com/?page=downloads
Connect to server - (Address is in guild information. Ask if you need help finding it.)
This isn't an option. Get it so you can at least listen to instructions. We would prefer that you talk to make sure that we all understand what we are doing, but you must be able to hear us.
You also need Deadly Boss Mods.

Deadly Boss Mods is a announcement tool that tells you of the special combat effects that bosses do. It will save your life time and time again, because it fundamentally tells you when to duck. Get it. You have to have it so you don't get others killed.
See our Mods Page for more helpful addons.
Finally you need to do three things.
1) Have a decent amount of gear. If you are running with greens, it is not going to work. Talk to us, and lets see what we can do about getting in some heroic dungeons so you can swap out those greens with some decent blues.
2) Pay attention. If you need to go AFK, say so. Speak up on Teamspeak, or go /AFK and explain why. You have to remember you are in a group of 10 people. thats 9 other folks who may be waiting for you. If you just disappear, Don't be surprised to find you got the boot.
3) Set aside enough time and show up if you accept the calendar invite. Weeknights we will spend 2-3 hours, and weekends we could go 2-5. If you accept and you learn you can't go, update your status to decline. We need to know how many people are actually going to show up.
The point to being in raids is 2 fold. First it gets you to work effectively in teams. You need co-ordination to be able to do any of the new content they intend on adding. Any instance beyond Naxx will demand it.
Secondly raiding is a gear check. What that means you will not be able to do anything beyond Naxxramas until you can work in a team here and earn some of the gear.
We want everyone to be successful and be able to have a chance at getting through this Dungeon. Naxx is a cool place, but not if you are unprepared.
Get the right mods, and if you are not sure if you're ready, ask. We have lots of chance to run other things, and getting more people to be able to do Naxx is what we want to do.
