Help! Am I Raid Ready

This article summarizes the flags, weapons and gear necessary for a raid.

When you join a raid, go with an open mind and listen real well. People may bark orders but they generally do this in order to get completion. A raid can be fun but failing is a huge waste of time, resources and is certainly not fun.

Before you read this article, you should read "What should I bring to a raid?." However good you may think your preparation is, you can always improve it.
