Hello everyone,
Still unsure where to add the description to the raid and since I didn’t see it while creating it I’ll just make a post for it.
I scheduled ToO on this Monday (6th of June) at 6 pm central and everyone level 75 or above is welcome to come.
I am going to run it in t2 difficulty and it will serve to explain and practice t2 runs. I will go over as much as I can. Positioning, interrupts, debuffs to stats needed at 105. We will go over specific instance mechanics (for example using the rings on Saruman), puddles, etc.
I will also go over specific class skills that players can use to support the whole group. For this I ask some of the most experienced players to help me out with their class. I will be explaining the rune keeper and as much as I have learned on the warden (still a learning experience for me but discussion is encouraged in all class overviews).
Here I will add some links to help you guys prepare for it:

See a pattern in those links? Dadi has made an amazing job organizing information in his website and taking advantage of information made available to us always helps us in getting better. And if it’s in-kin? Even better.
Now, I know it is a lot to read, but don’t worry, I will go through most of it during this run. Remember, it is a raid scheduled specifically to explain everything about running instances and raids in T2. We will try to complete this raid, and it would be awesome, but that comes second in the priority list.

For those links, above all, I ask that you pay special attention to the teamspeak section in the comprehensive guide to raiding. Being able to listen to the group is essential to grouping, so please have that set up beforehand. Even if you don’t speak we need you to listen in order to keep the group organized.
See you around,
Glan
