WoW Editorial - Most Needed Classes in Raids
Posted November 24th, 2009 by Messiah
Everyone understands that while any class can fit into a raid, there are certain classes that end up being more prevalent since they are in more demand. This has a lot to do with what buffs they bring, what damage or healing they bring, and what synergy they bring to the raid. It also has a lot to do with what roles they can fill.
As you can see raid class makeup has a lot of room to play around with, especially in 25 player raids. There are usually 10 specific classes and sub-builds that I really want in the raid. Past that it becomes a balancing act of which classes work best together, which buff best, who has the most gear, who you know and have grouped with in the past, and more. It is not an exact science.
Find out which classes Byron "Messiah" Mudry brings to his raids and why in this weeks editorial - Most Needed Classes in Raids.
