Rules & Information

A quick guide to how Underdogs runs: how we treat each other, how we raid, and what we expect from raiders. If you’re unsure about anything, ask an officer — we’d rather explain it once than fix a mess later.

Guild Rules Raid Rules

Guild Rules

applies to Discord + in-game

We’re here to play, chill, and enjoy Azeroth together. That only works if the guild stays welcoming for everyone — including younger members (there are a couple of kids in the guild, Mel's included), so we keep things respectful and clean.

Be respectful
Treat everyone with kindness. No bullying, harassment, dogpiling, or toxic behaviour (Discord or in-game).
Keep it clean
Avoid swearing, sexual content, and NSFW jokes. This includes guild chat and Discord.
No spam, no drama
This isn’t Trade Chat. Keep messages sensible, avoid stirring arguments, and don’t bring other guild drama here.
Use the right channels
Keep topics in the right Discord channels (WoW chat in WoW chat, memes in memes, etc.).
Zero tolerance for hate
Absolutely no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or hateful/discriminatory behaviour. Instant problem.
Listen to officers/mods
If a mod or officer asks you to stop something, take it seriously. We’re keeping the space safe and usable.
Quick summary
Be kind. Keep guild chat clean. Don’t be weird. Don’t be a bully. Don’t be a bigot. If you wouldn’t say it in front of a child, don’t say it in guild chat.

Need help?

If you’re stuck on consumes, add-ons, or expectations, speak to Mel or one of the Top Dogs. We’d rather help you get sorted than have you stressed (or under-prepared) on raid night.

Tip: If you want to raid, scroll down to Raid Rules.

Raid Rules

You MUST agree to these to join us in Alpha (raiding rank).
Mains > Alts
The first and most important rule: Mains > Alts. Your main is the character you raid with. Only bring an alt when asked for comp. Alts ALWAYS roll Offspec for loot.
Required: Discord voice
You MUST be on Discord voice to raid. All instructions come through voice. This is non-negotiable (even if you don’t talk).
Raid behaviour
  • Listen to the Raid Leader. Don’t freestyle pulls or mechanics.
  • Watch your threat. The RL shouldn’t have to keep saying “stop DPS”.
  • Rage mobs exist. If something is called a “rage mob”, do not cast on it.
  • If you sign up, you turn up. If you can’t make it, tell us ASAP.
Attendance & PUG lockouts
Friday is main raid day and attendance is expected for 40-mans. If you regularly can’t do Fridays, we may not be the right raiding guild for you.
PLEASE CHECK THE RESET before attending a pug. If you lock yourself out of a progression raid, you directly block the guild’s progress.
Reset dates: classicraidreset.com

Required consumes

Raids run faster and smoother when everyone turns up prepared. You’re expected to bring your own consumes for your role. If you’re struggling to farm something in time, speak to Mel or a Top Dog in advance — the guild bank can often help (usually at a significant discount), but it’s still your responsibility to arrive with the full list.

Tanks
  • Elixir of the Mongoose
  • Stoneshield Potion
  • Elixir of Giants
  • Elemental Sharpening Stones
  • Juju / Firewater
  • Wolf Steaks (or equivalent food buff)
  • Rumsey Rum
  • Chimera Chops
DPS
Warrior
Elixir of Giants, Mongoose, Juju/Firewater, Elemental/Dense Stones, Sandworm food buff
Mage
Greater Arcane Elixir, Wizard Oils, Nightfin Soup
Rogue
Mongoose, Juju/Firewater, Sandworm Meat, Thistle Tea, Elixir of Giants
Warlock
Greater Arcane Elixir, Wizard Oils, Nightfin Soup, Elixir of Shadow Power
Hunter
Mongoose, Juju/Firewater, Sandworm Meat
Healers
  • Nightfin Soup
  • Mana Oils
  • Mageblood Potion
  • Dark / Demonic Runes
  • Major Mana Potions
Rule of thumb: if you’re not sure what applies to you, ask before raid day — we’ll help you get a sensible kit together.

Add-ons

Required
  • DBM
  • CLM (Core Loot Manager)
  • Threat meter (for DPS)
Note: If you do not have CLM, you will not be able to bid or win loot. We are not pausing a 40-man raid to sort add-ons in the moment.
Recommended
  • HealBot (all healers)
  • PallyPower (all paladins)
  • GTFO (everyone)
  • Decursive (mages, priests, etc — easy one-click debuff removal)

Debuffs

Classic has a limited debuff cap (16). Debuffs effectively follow a priority system and can knock each other off. In raids, only use debuffs that are on the approved list below. If your debuff is not listed here, do not use it.

Sunder armour
Faerie fire
Warlock curses (priority varies by comp):
Curse of Recklessness (physical damage increase)
Curse of Shadows (spriest/lock damage increase)
Curse of Elements (mage damage increase)
Thunder Clap or Thunderfury debuff
Winter’s Chill
Demo shout or Roar
Ignite (AQ/later with fire mages) + Improved Scorch stacks
Shadow Weaving
Improved Shadow Bolt

Ranks

Alpha
Our raider status rank. It means we’ve discussed expectations with you, seen you in content, you’re appropriately geared, and you’ve agreed to the raid/loot rules.
High Alpha
For longer-term core raiders. After a minimum of 6 Molten Core raids, you may be eligible for promotion at officer discretion. If you’re not contributing, not a team player, rude, etc — rank can be dropped.
Reserved loot details live in the reserved-loot channel.

Loot rules (EP/GP)

Loot is awarded using EP/GP (Effort Points / Gear Points) via CLM. Priority is PR = EP ÷ GP. Higher PR = higher priority on loot.

Effort Points (EP) examples
  • On-time / Attendance: +20 EP
  • Each boss kill: +10 EP
  • End of raid / Full clear: +20 EP
  • Benched but online/ready: 50% of EP earned by raid
Gear Points (GP) examples
  • Minor items / Offspec: 0 – 30 GP
  • Tier pieces / Core epics: 30 – 75 GP
  • High-end weapons / Major upgrades: 100+ GP
  • Legendary mats (e.g. Sulfuron Hammer, Bindings): 150+ GP (guild discretion)
  • Class books excluded. ZG/AQ tokens treated as normal loot (e.g. 20/50 GP).
Important notes
  • Weekly decay: 20% to both EP & GP to prevent hoarding.
  • Don’t hoard points: If you’re eligible for an upgrade, you take it. Holding out “for something better” is selfish and makes the system unfair.
  • Offspec bidding: Use the default values in the add-on. If you try to change the figure, CLM can reject the bid and you’ll miss out.
