Raids: sign-ups to loot

  1. An officer sets the checklist once

    Raid tab > Edit checklist: raid name, start time, minimum level and the items each raider brings. After that the next guild raid in the in-game calendar becomes the checklist on its own, keeping the items.

  2. Members sign up

    I'm in, Tentative or Out on Home or the Raid tab (or /wc in). Anyone who hasn't answered gets one clickable "Are you in?" prompt. Three hours before, raiders short of items get a reminder listing exactly what.

  3. The leader forms the raid in the Assist page

    Invite everyone signed up, arrange the groups and run a ready check, while seeing who's missing.

  4. Attendance takes care of itself

    While an officer is in the raid during a scheduled raid, their add-on records who is present. It feeds the loot helper.

Raid tab, Assist page: invite sign-ups, arrange groups, signed up but not here, short of raid items

    The loot helper's ranking

    Every gear page has Best fit, officers see a "Loot:" line on gear tooltips, and /wc loot Lionheart Breastplate prints it. Each candidate earns points:

    ReasonPoints
    On their wishlist as BiS / normal / low+100 / +40 / +15
    An upgrade: empty slot, or by how much+50 / up to +60
    Each item received in the last 30 days−15
    Signed up In for the scheduled raid+10
    Each of the last 8 recorded raids attended (once 3+ are recorded)+2

    Loot history is recorded by each member's own add-on for the rare and better gear they receive in groups, so nobody can record loot for someone else.

    Whisper "inv"

    During a scheduled raid (from 2 hours before until 6 hours after the start), guildmates who whisper the raid leader inv or invite are invited automatically. Works for the leader and raid assistants; one checkbox turns it off.

    Officer one-clickers on the Raid tab

    • Remind whispers every signed-up raider who's short of items, listing exactly what.
    • Nudge asks online members who haven't answered.
    • Announce posts the raid, time and what to bring in guild chat.

    Whispers go out one at a time and pause in combat.

    Attendance page

    Raid tab > Attendance shows the last 12 raids per player, newest first, with a rate. Members can't mark themselves present. Export CSV has it too.
