Daemon Brigade - Horde - Hydraxis US


	We've got some new people, and in perusing the website I realized that it isn't always clear what is and isn't required of guildies, so I'm making this nice page with all the links to the relevant information for you newbies. When you join the guild, you'll be getting a message in-game and on the website pointing you to this link to help with the transition. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions please feel free to ask any Right Hand Man or Mosrael. GENERAL Guild dues and recruitment rewards - We have a rewards program for recruiting new members. Until you are an officer, you are not required to pay dues, but we encourage you to familiarize yourself with this first. Event/Raiding Guidelines - These are our "rules" on accepting, declining, cancelling, posting, and attending events. (NOTE 5/8/09: In the next few weeks there will be a few changes to this page. You will be notified of these updates.) RAIDING Availability and scheduling - If you wish to raid with us, we require you to post your availability in the forums here, and keep it up to date. This is what we use to plan raids and to know if we need to set up a different raid time on a certain day. If you don't keep this up to date, we cannot schedule things that might fit your timeframes. Contact information - Some form of out-of-game contact info, be it cell phone, email, messengers, whatever. Share as much or as little as you like; only officers can see this information. If you have a legitimate reason that you cannot post your information semi-publicly, please notify Mosrael so alternate requirements can be discussed. Addons - We're not a guild that requires a bunch of addons to raid with us, but we do require some. As with any mod, some prefer certain ones over another. We encourage you to try out different mods of the same type to find the one that's right for you. Ventrilo (PC or Mac) - Not technically an "addon," but if you plan to raid with us you must have this installed so that we can communicate with you. No need to talk* if you prefer not to or are unable to; as long as you have speakers or headphones you can always respond in raid. Please note that there are no alternatives to Ventrilo; you must use it. (Tanks may be required to have a microphone depending on their ability to communicate quickly and effectively in raid chat.) Boss announce mod - Boss mods are mods that inform you about important things happening during boss fights, like early warnings on Lightning Nova on Loken in HoL. All raiders are required to have this so that there is no excuse for missing something important happening. DBM (Deadly Boss Mods) is the favorite of the guild, but you can use any boss mod you prefer, as long as it tells you what you need to know. Deadly Boss Mods* (Curse or WoWI) BigWigs (Curse or WoWI) Threat meter - A threat meter is something that monitors the threat (or aggro) of everyone who is attacking the same mob you are and warns you when you are close to pulling threat/aggro from the tank. This is a point of contention within the guild. Some believe that the built-in threat meter is sufficient for monitoring your threat, while others believe that it is not. As of this moment, a threat meter is not actually required, but strongly encouraged. I know some people won't bother reading this, so I put it in the "Required" section; chances are if you're not reading this you're not going to pay attention to your threat either. XD If you have trouble controlling your aggro, you will be required to install a threat meter. Omen (Curse or WoWI) - The most popular threat meter for WoW. Please, check out the options; if you pull aggro, Omen will play a scary sound and possibly cause you a heart attack. Diamond Threat Meter (Curse or WoWI) - The second most popular threat meter.
