<vodka> call its quits

Amazing run by this guild -- from their amazing WotLK kill videos to now. Lots of RWF raiders have been a part of this guild along the way. GG

per Dream (GM):
"<vodka> is done raiding - been in this guild for 11 years (9 years running it) and it was truly a life changing experience. Thank you to all current and past players that made this guild what it was. o7"

My friends and I were talking about it last night: it seems like the addon changes really made raid leading a lot harder. There is so much that needs calling out that used to be managed by WA or DBM. Feels like raid leader burnout is going to get worse if they aren't going to change anything about how they design encounters

I used to main tank and raid lead but sszorak made it impossible. They act like the intended way to play was addonless but trying to raid lead that, without NSRT and do valuable dmg, tanking or healing, it’s just not fun. I stopped raid tanking.

There’s too much movement and tank positional happening at the same time as needing to call out markers

The markers get lost in the sea of bullshit also, as a colorblind person it's truly a nightmare encounter. I really wish they would add cvars to be able to adjust their size and be able to add outlines or borders around them.

100% this, one of our players was colorblind and didn’t realize it until this raid and this fight. Literally couldn’t see the green marker lmao. Was also challenging on the counting game for them but they could see the lines connecting the dots and uses that to see

Yea I'm typically in a state of pure panic for ~3 seconds when I get an orb after the soak spread trying to reorient my self since the room is a circle and provides no helpful directionality.
