I’ll be a raid leader next patch and currently I’ve been raid leading on my mistweaver, but i do notice the attention is being split actively reducing my quality of both.
So I’ve thought about rerolling to a class that’s rotation is relatively easy to do while focusing on stuff like calling out, dodging swirlies etc.
Been looking at BM, but any other ideas in case that’s get too mundane?
BM or Destro lock good choices for ranged dps i would say BM if i had to choose as u can still dps and move and avoid so much and still do well.
Yeah they do seem to be the overall simplest but mobile choice with atleast okay dmg most of the time.
You really can not be tank/healer/melee if you want to do RL and do decent dps. It can be done ofc but BM makes it so much easier.
Yeah unfortuantely, was trying to look for a guild to heal in and found a smaller one that just formed, and we wanted to raid, but no leader was given and somehow throughout the first raid somebody asked about the mechanics and i answered.
And throughout the raid nobody was gonna call out the mechanics and somehow i was asked too and ended up somhow raid leading all raids after that.
2 weeks later im the raid lead officer and social manager of the guild… things really spiraled out of control lmao
I wish you very good luck in season 2 , it is a tough role to do but can be so rewarding and i am very sure you will do grand at it.
That means alot, thanks. I’ll do my best, the teams seems trustworthy and like good people, I’m excited as well as nervous and I love that i can still feel that way
I’ve been in a few guilds where the tank is the RL. It’s generally quite dull.
What do you mean with generally quite dull? The tanking?
It’s usually been a tank doing the raidleading for me. Whether that is optimal I have no idea tho 
I can imagine healing and raidleading fried your brain tho, you need several pairs of eyes for that.
Yeah you could say that 
They don’t have a huge amount of complexity with raid tanking.
Our RL is a Resto / Ele Shaman. I’d personally say being ranged is a huge advantage, tanks might not be doing that much themselves but they can also barely see what’s going on.
Hunter / Mage if you’re extremely proficient at it are probably the best RL classes.
For that I recommend a ranged DPS, the main candidate being BM hunter. If not that, then a simpler tank spec is your second best option.
Most RLs I had in the past were tanks, and since most boss fights from a tank stand point is super simple you have plenty of time to watch out for callouts and the sort. The main disadvantage is that you have to shift the camera around on some bosses due to visibility.
If you are only looking to raid lead heroic raids or delve into early mythic bosses than almost every ranged spec can work, as gear inflation makes it so that even if your performance is mediocre due to leading bosses will still die.
