Attendance & Burnout

[Treesh]

Well, I think the one thing that is getting to me is the fact that we only really have a pool of 6 Warlocks to pull upon.  This means that up to Garr, not having more than 1 Warlock in the raid isn't a problem, but, when we get to Garr and onward we have to have a minimum of 2 Warlocks, 3 to 4 preferable.  Right now I would like to see more people bring up Warlocks so that we have a larger pool (I know Darian is, but that will take away one of the tanks and one of the pool members has 3 characters that are needed at any given time).  If we could have some of the Hunters or Mages start leveling up a Warlock, it would go along way to helping the raid over all (right now I think we have about 40 toons spread between Hunters and Mages and we consistently see the raids consisting of 40% of the total toons as Hunters and Mages).

"Forcing" people to level up other characters so they can bring them to the raids instead of the character they may want to actually bring to the raids is going to cause burnout quicker. People are going to have to want to play other characters rather than just suck it up and do it for the good of the raid.
