Leveling Up a Heroic Team
summary
Talk argues that building reliable teams maps to raid practice: form a progression raid team with clear values and roles (hardcore/semi/casual), keep one to two juniors for growth, and diversify skills rather than clone DPS. Use concrete tools and numbers: voice comms like ventrilo with "clear one" rules, wiki slash commands for docs, MetaBattle for builds, boss metrics (Mursaat Overseer down in 2:38, Vale Guardian has a ~9‑minute enrage). Enforce a code of conduct, collect logs/metrics, and require rest (Sensu-style four weeks PTO) to reduce churn.
