How to ace endgame raiding in WoW: Pandaria Classic – 5 essential strategies for your raid group

Pandaria Classic has been out for a while now, and you've probably noticed that the raid content is pretty challenging. While the first two wings of the Siege of Orgrimmar have been cleared by many guilds, the final two are still a challenge for many. Here's what you need to do to succeed in your raids.

1. Communication

Communication is the key to success in raiding. It's as simple as that. But it's not just about calling out mechanics. You need to be able to hear your teammates and understand them. Use Discord or Teamspeak. Make sure everyone has a working mic and headphones, and that you're all in the same channel. Don't use your PC speakers – it's a huge mistake. If you're a raid leader, make sure everyone is in the same voice channel and that they're muted when they're not speaking. If you're not, ask them to do it. Make sure everyone knows the raid's callouts, and that everyone knows what they're supposed to do.

For example, for Garalon, you need to call out "Adds!" when adds spawn, "Tank swap!" when the tank swaps, and "Breath!" when the boss does its breath attack. If you're the tank, say "Pulling!" when you're pulling, and "Breath!" when you're about to breathe. If you're the healer, say "Healing!" when you're healing. The DPS should know when to move out of the raid. If you're the DPS, say "Burning!" when you're burning adds. If you're the ranged DPS, say "Moving!" when you're moving.

The raid leader should say "Stacking!" when the raid should stack. If you're a healer, say "Heal!" when you're healing. If you're the DPS, say "Boss!" when you're DPSing. If you're the ranged DPS, say "Pillar!" when you're avoiding.

In Heart of Fear, say "Stacking!" when the raid should stack. If you're the tank, say "Boss!" when you're tanking. If you're the ranged DPS, say "Burning!" when you're burning. If you're the melee, say "Move!" when you're moving. If you're the healer, say "Healing!" when you're healing.

In Spirit Kings, say "Adds!" when the adds spawn. If you're the tank, say "Tank!" when you're tanking. If you're the DPS, say "Move!" when you're moving. If you're the ranged DPS, say "Heal!" when you're healing. If you're the healer, say "Avoid!" when you're avoiding. If you're the ranged DPS, say "Burning!" when you're burning.

In Imperator Mar'gok, say "Tank!" when you're tanking. If you're the DPS, say "Healing!" when you're healing. If you're the ranged DPS, say "Move!" when you're avoiding. If you're the healer, say "Burning!" when you're burning. If you're the ranged DPS, say "Tank!" when you're tanking. If you're the melee, say "Healing!" when you're healing.

In Sha of Pride, say "Boss!" when you're tanking. If you're the DPS, say "Healing!" when you're healing. If you're the ranged DPS, say "Moving!" when you're moving. If you're the healer, say "Avoid!" when you're avoiding. If you're the ranged DPS, say "Burning!" when you're burning.

If you're the DPS, say "Burning!" when you're burning. If you're the ranged DPS, say "Move!" when you're moving. If you're the healer, say "Healing!" when you're healing.
