This will get updated as we move along and the game changes (or as people's suckage grows ;D )
(updated 10/09/09 Patch 3.2.2)
OK, here's a list of ABSOLUTELY required raiding tools:
Vent (for info, check with a guild officer)
DBM (Deadly Boss Mods)
Omen Threat Meter
Other very helpful tools, but are not required are:
Recount (Recap is another... any kid of dps, or healing meter)
Atlas Loot
Pallypower (Paladins)
Healbot (some people love it, others hate it)
Some of these may become required if you seem to struggle with keeping up or staying on top of part of your role in a raid. Keep in mind then when you’re in a raid, you’re no longer “running a large instance”. Whether you’re in a 10, or a 25 man raid, you are now 1 piece of a team. If one member is falling behind, it creates a strain on the others and potentially causes the raid to fail. It takes EVERYONE working in complete unison and near perfect teamwork for a raid to be successful, let alone progressive. Egos, attitude and selfishness all need to be put on a back burner during ANY and ALL raids. If you’re asked to change the way you’re doing something, or asked to run a certain add-on to help your performance, it’s all meant as constructive criticism to help the raid as well as you. This doesn’t mean that you fail. And likewise, if you’ve got a suggestion on any aspect of a raid … SPEAK UP! We don’t claim to know everything, far from it. Seeing something from someone else’s point of view can only help matters, so if we’re missing something, you may have the missing idea to make it a success.
Also MAKE SURE TO UPDATE THESE REGULARLY. They got modified, updated, changed, new patches come out, etc etc and so quite often people find their add-ons not working because they're outdated, and don't realize it.
