World of Warcraft's end game raiding experience has grown since its origin, but a few of the trends have remained the same. As a new raider, you will likely be expected to know at least the most basic fundamentals. You will want to be on the ball when taking your first steps.
First of all, raiding is the term used to describe the act of forming a group of more than five players to work together to achieve a common goal. The term can be used to describe multiple aspects of the game, however in this article it is in the context of tackling World of Warcraft's large scale instanced dungeons.
To get started with raiding, you should first decide the level of commitment you can make to it. Casual and Hardcore are broad ways to describe the two raiding communities. Casual players will typically spend up to a few hours per week raiding on average, while hardcore players may devote as many hours as a part time job would demand. It is important to know where you stand in this regard; if you don't have a lot of time on your hands, don't aspire to be a hardcore raider. Usually, whether you raid casually or hardcore will correspond with whether you form groups with random players you recruited on the spot (referred to as a "PUG" or Pick Up Group), or if you join a guild that dedicates itself to raiding.
Once you have determined where you stand on commitment, you should consider the following:
Do your homework A good raider will spend time learning more about his chosen class, position (tank, healer, or damage dealer), what investments he can make to improve himself (such as purchasing or making consumable items that grant temporary benefits), and be reasonably aware of the challenges he faces. There are many sites that provide pointers and in depth class analysis, such as Elitist Jerks. Knowing the dangers of a boss encounter can drastically make the difference in how you perform; WoWwiki provides basic boss strategies among all of its other bountiful information.
Make some gold Having a steady supply of gold income is essential to being a raider. To be at the top of your game, you will frequently be spending money on item enchantments, consumables, and repairing your gear. You will find that taking up one of the game's professions can be an excellent source of money. Additionally, there are various daily quests (marked by a blue exclamation mark) to be found around the game world that reward you with gold.
Have fun Raiding can be a large undertaking. Above all, you will want to make sure that it is fun for you. Going into it prepared, with friends, and doing your best will net the greatest enjoyment. You should never see it as an obligation.
Protip: Have a good internet connection You will find that having a relatively fast connection will make your raiding activities a lot smoother. Nothing so easily spoils a raid more than disconnecting in the middle of a battle and logging back on to find yourself dead, especially if you were in a key position in the encounter. With a fast connection, your commands will be greatly improved, allowing you smooth visuals, responsive output, and an overall better experience.
