Time to choose our "Officers"

Alright, I think I'm rather done with the concept for officer rank, so it's time to choose the people who get that title.

For some background info I'm not too fond with the usual officer rank, because it suggests that all the guild members are not equal and it's usually the officers who decide about raid times, tell people to respec etc.

So, instead of having officers I want to call these people "Advisors". Their role is to help other guildies by answering to questions, giving tips and helping with elite quests from time to time. Their job can be leading raids / groups and doing research about bosses in case people are too lazy to do it themselves ;) When it comes to concrete "perks" you get to set up the Guild Message of the Day... Whee!

The people with Advisor rank need to have good knowledge about TBC, but most importantly they need to be online often, chatty and friendly to keep the kind of atmosphere that when there's trouble they can come and help. Knowing the abilities of more than one class is always a bonus. This rank will be available for 3 people.

Another new rank I want to introduce will be sort of replacement for the usual classleader rank you're seeing. This is also aimed to help raiding, and the rank(s) are called Healer, Caster and Killer (please suggest some titles that don't sound this lame). Their role will simply be to coordinate the healing, ranged dps and melee dps (includes tanking) efforts in raids, so raid leader gets a bit of responsibility of his/her shoulders.

This rank requires you to have knowledge of more than one class, with preferably raiding experience in more than 2 lvl 60's. You will be helping people with specs so extensive knowledge of different talent builds is nice to have.

  • Healer title is for priests, druids, paladins and shamans.
  • Caster title is for mages, warlocks, hunters (like I said, please come up with better title) and shadow priests, maybe shamans too. Anyway, for all doing ranged dps.
  • Killer title is for rogues, warriors, shamans, paladins and druids (melee dps).

Each of these ranks will be given to two people.

Now for actually choosing the people; please go to Advisor Selection thread in the Forums.

You have time to write down your suggestions until Friday 9th 9pm server time.

We'll see how this starts to work then ;) The reason I want to get this resolved now is that I'll be in London 10th-14th February and there might be Karazhan runs during that time. I hope. Please... ^^

Hmmm...

Healer = Medical Advisor
Caster = Ranged/Range Advisor
Killer = Melee/Physical Advisor

I think these suggestions sound even lamer, especially Physical Advisor. That just doesn't sound right.

I'm not sure I'm too happy about hunters being in with the casters, but can see how it makes sense. Guess it depends on the advisor's experience, but consider moving them to the "Killer" or "Physical" group.
