Raid Roles

Overview

Many games require specific roles in group content—tanks to absorb damage, healers to keep the team alive, and DPS to deal damage. The raid roles system lets you define what roles you need and lets members sign up for specific positions.

Why Use Raid Roles?

• Know at a glance if you have enough tanks/healers
• Members commit to specific responsibilities
• Avoid last-minute "who's healing?" confusion
• Balance your group composition before the raid

Default Role Templates

Common role setups are available as templates:

Creating Custom Roles

Create roles specific to your needs:

1. 1
   Click "Add Role"

   In the raid creation or edit screen.

2. 2
   Name the Role

   Example: "Main Tank", "Off-Tank", "Ranged DPS"

3. 3
   Set Slot Count

   How many of this role you need (e.g., 2 tanks, 4 healers)

4. 4
   Choose Color (Optional)

   Visual identifier for the role in signup lists.

Setting Role Requirements

For each raid, define your composition:

How Members Select Roles

When signing up for a raid with roles:

1. Member clicks to sign up
2. A role selection appears showing available roles
3. Member picks their preferred role
4. They're added to that role's slot (or waitlist if full)

Members can indicate multiple roles they're willing to play if you enable "flex" signups.
