WoW Guild Comamnds are used by the Guild Leader and Guild Officers to manage and run the guild. These commands are not enabled for guild members. See WoW Slash Commands for the general game commands.

WoW Guilds are a must if you want to experience the high level content. All the “End Game” dungeons and content will require many groups to fight the “Boss Mobs”  This is where Guilds come into play.

Guilds in World of WarCraft will normlay start with a group of like minded players that have grouped together for a while that then want to go onto the next level and form a guild attracting more players and aiming for that high level content. You will have several key players that make up the core guild team.

Long established guilds will have websites, Discord channel and even Whatsapp groups setup for members to communicate together outside of the game. These are the ones you should aim for if you want to see end game content.

• Guild Leader – Usually the player to have started the guild and someone with that “Can do” Attitude
• Guild Officers –  Assinged by the Guild Leader. On large guilds you can have lots of Officers all with a special area of guild business that they look after
  • Class office
  • Raid Officer
  • Bank officer
  • Recruitment Officer
  • DKP Office (Dragon Kill Points for Raid loot, not all guild have one)

And so on, i think you get the idea.

For a good high level raiding guild to function effectivly you need a few core players, everyone else is just there to assist the Main Assist and DPS the mobs. Only the really big raids we will see  2-3 of these groups that run independently to complete dungeons where several main tanks are needed

What Skills does a good WoW Guild need?

• Team Work – The Core Teams need to work well together. If they fail, the raid fails
  • They should group, adventure together a lot to get to know each others limits and each thers play styles
• Gear –  Essentially the Main Tanks and Main healers will need that top level gear.
  • If your Tanks and Healers are dying on every encounter you wont ge too far
  • Dont be supprised to join a new guild and find all they are doing is kitting out the Tanks and Healers for a while
• Practice – Dont expect to win first time on every encounter. Sometimes they take a bit of practice
  • Raid Officer should know what mobs are coming next and if there are any stratagies to kill them easyer

How do i get into a WoW Guild?

Its easy you say, just get an invite from an officer!  True but is the guild that gives you an invite on a 5min chat the guild you would like to join?

Have a think about what you want from a guild, are you the right level, are they doing the content that you want to see, do you have any friends in the guild that you want to play with.

Once you have a short list of guilds you would like to join use some of the chat commands to find players online and group with them. Find what instances or dungeons they are doing and find some like minded players that fit your class well. If you are a cleric find some warriors or paladins and put them on your friends list and group up.

Have a chat to these players about the guild they are in but dont be pushy. Once the other players see you play well and are cool to hang out with then the next step is that invite you have boon looking for. After a few group ups and you dont get an invite, then politly ask, How do i get into your guild?  They may have an application process you will need to complete.

Once in a new guild, just like meeting any new people, the key here is to be kind and curtious and offer your class services to groups and team up with guild members as often as you can. No one will appriciate a new member joining and imidiatly asking for help doing a quest that benefits just you. You may even have to complete a probation period so be on your best behaviour.

Everyone playing World of WarCraft needs to know how to group and use the WoW Group Commands.  Playing solo is still great fun and sometimes i do enjoy some down time and go solo a low level dungeon or zone on my own, its peaceful. But to really progress and see all the content and get all the best lewt in WoW you should be grouping

WoW Raid Commands overlap a little and you can use the group commands in raids. This makes grouping and utilising all the commands great practice for when you run raids later on.

How to Start/make/Create a WoW Group

If you are a group leader, you will be the player starting the group (or raid) and so need to know WoW group Commands. You start by inviting people into your group by targeting them and using the /invite command. Or use /invite [Player name]  this is useful if the player is not in range or even in the same zone.

Try and balance your group with the approprate classes for the adventure that is waiting for you. Blizzard have done a good job in class balancing and so there are so many combinations of groups to setup. I dont anyone can say one class or group is better that another, they all fit soemwhere.

Saying that, there is no point in having 3 restoration druids, a cleric and 1 tank. This may work for casual gaming but for real hardcore XPing and dungeon clearing the best group i have found is something like this, mileage may vary:

• Tank – Warrior or Pally
• Puller – Ranger due to Feign Death spell.  2nd Tank can also work if Rangers are busy. Also DPS
• Main Healer – Holy Priest for buffs, Heals, Damage mitigation. Healing Main Tank
• Off Healer – Resto Druid for buffs, damage shields, Evac. Healing MA and group members and their pets
• DPS – Any DPS class that wants to come along

This is not everyones ideal setup but after 20 years or crawling dungeons in EverQuest and WoW this seems to work for most of them.

Now you have your group together you can start to assign the roles.  Set Main Assist using /ma and the Main Tank as /mt. This will help group members identify who is doing what and also alow the use of the asisst commands.   These are very powerful WoW Group Commands and can really help the group become extreamly afficeint at clearing mobs…

Target markers can also be used to let the group know what mobs are coming next and to be ready. This would be the role of the Main assist. I have found it best for only the Main Tank to use the Main assist for targets and the rest of the group to use the Main Tanks target to assist. This way the rest fo the group will not pick up agro from a mob that the Main Tank has not engaged yet.

The Fair Way to Split Loot – Need Before Greed

You can also set the loot rotation, i have found the best is just auto split all coin eveningly to the group and a “need before greed” policey on items.  Need before greed is when an item drops and the player with the worst currently equipped item for that slot will receive the newly dropped item.

Often the easyest way to decide this is for anyone wanting the new item links their current item in chat and everyone votes on who gets it. Need before Greed relies on trust a lot but will see a group of players or a guild progress much faster that one that is made of greedy players are are only getting a few points in stat increases over someone that will get a huge upgrade.

These rules are not in stone and if a guild is kitting out a Main Tank then the rules may not apply.

If you find 2 players with equally bad gear then as the last selection process is only fair by way of  “random 100”  where by using the comamnd “/random 1 100”  2+ players essentially roll a D100 dice for the item, winner take the item. This does mean though on the next drop for that same slot, the lossing players will get an upgrade.

If you are in a “pick up group” then it maybe best to use the random 100 way. What ever you decide on make sure the group knows the rules before leet starts dropping!
