Preparation for Zul'Gurub

As we all know, MaKan's next milestone will be to do Zul'Gurub (ZG) 20men.

This post will be to inform everyone on what you need to prepare for ZG. Information will be broken into 2 parts, "Add-Ons" and "ZG Guide". The first explaining what are the add-ons you need to run ZG efficiently, followed by a run through guide on ZG so everyone knows what "Pull and Kill the Bats!!!" means when Raid Leader shouts on Teamspeak.

This document is NOT meant only for 60s. In fact, it'll be good if everyone starts using these add-ons now to familiarize yourself with the functions of these add-ons.

Add-Ons:

1) TEAMSPEAK
Link: www.goteamspeak.com
Version to get: TeamSpeak 2 Client (RC2)
First on the list will be the "Teamspeak". Strictly speaking, this is more of a software then a Add-On. It's a voice communication tool that allows us to communicate better in instance and raids.
KUDOS! to Meehoon and Meepoktah, we now have our very own Dedicated MaKan - TeamSpeak Server!
Everyone PLEASE download and install it….even if you do not have a mic, use it to listen to whats going on.
No one can ever type “PAT INCOMING! Move in move in!” faster then raid leaders saying it in 1 second.

Operating Instructions(Do this before starting wow):
Once downloaded and installed, run it. Click on Connection > Quick Connect.
In the new window, enter the following details

Server Address: Get from me ingame. Not posting here.
Nickname: Your Char Name

Leave the rest empty and click on connect.
Once in, you’re in the main lobby. Here you can either join a channel or create one.

2) Teamspeak Overlay
Link: http://www.teamspeakoverlay.com/
Version to get: Full Installer
After getting Teamspeak installed, suggest you get this mod too so that you know who’s talking.
Simple installation and operation. Just run it.

3) CT_RaidAssist
Link: http://www.ctmod.net/downloads.ct
Version to get: CT_RaidAssist v1.535

MUST HAVE! Without this don't bother to go ZG.

Intro & Guide: http://www.ctmod.net/raidassist.ct

Operating Instructions: http://www.ctmod.net/installation.ct

4) DECURSIVE (For casters who can remove curse and all the eecky stuffs)
LINK: http://www.curse-gaming.com
Version: 1.9.4
Imagine not having to target cursed members then click decurse! Simply spam a button and it'll auto target the cursed member then decurse!

This is a cleaning mod. Its job is to help a class that can remove debuffs, do it with ease. Load the mod, bind a key (or create a macro "/decursive") and run, no further configuration or editing needed, it auto configures. Run the mod when ever you wish to cleanse a status ailment, or even think one might be on your target, party, or even raid party, if nothing is cleaned, there is no penalty or cool down.

Installation: Same as CT_RaidAssist. Extracting zip file to User Interface>AddOn folder will do the job.

The above are pretty much the general stuffs you need to run ZG. For the other class specific useful mods, it's up to you. Ask naan. He's the mod freak! >:P


Zul'Gurub Guide

Reference to WOW Wiki: http://www.wowwiki.com/Zul%27Gurub
DO READ UP! Else we're just gonna go waste everyone's time~ :P Basically just need to know the flow and your class's role in the instance. Raid Leader will do the coordinating.
