Before Raid: Talents & Checklist

◆

Talents

  • Most raids only need one main build or a simple AoE vs. Single-Target swap
  • If our raid group is stuck on a boss:
    • Revisit talents to move one not needed for that specific boss and add to a movement, utility, or niche mechanic that may help on the current boss
    • Example: cleanse a curse, remove fear, add survivability, etc.
    • Save alternate builds named after bosses for quick swapping
  • Periodically review your talents:
    • If you never use a talent, either start using it or move the point
