I know EJ's loot system involves a slightly higher cap, so doubtless you just look at that persons cap to know what their resists are. Do most guilds keep track of individual resists on a per member basis? How do you do it? I want to do it for both a slightly variation on loot priority and for spot competition for relevant resist fights. Assuming I can get my guildies to actually post a CTProfile with their resist gear, I was thinking of recording it in the officer note so it was easy to access in-game.

Second thing, what is and isn't resist gear in your system? How do you quantify it?

Goon Squad on Mal'Ganis has asked people to keep an updated CTProfile that can be referred to when necessary. This is a bit harder to do these days, as CTProfiles.net is consistenly chuggy and slow for me :(

Heh, same here most of the time. Took me an hour of switching to the CT tab the other day to update my FR gear profile.

We maintain a list, by hand, of people's resist gear on our private class forums. I do the rogue list, a hunter does the hunter list, etc.

It's a pain to get it initialized and to add a new member into the system, but once it's started, it's easy enough to maintain/refer to.

Aye, in a past guild we tried to enforce everyone maintaining their own CTprofile, but we found it easier to actually have the class leaders keep a list rather than hounding everyone to maintain their own profile. Folks are much more apt to send a /tell to their class leader showing off their newest bit of resistance gear than they are to keeping their own profiles updated.

Why do you need to maintain a list? CTRA can check resists for everyone in the raid group. If someone doesn't have enough resist, you tell them to put more on. If they don't have any other gear to put on, you replace them with someone that cares the minimal amount needed to get themselves basic resist gear.

For spot competition, you could always give first priority to those with decent resists and that have their CTProfile updated. That would encourage all your members to create a profile. Having a class leader maintin a list or just having a "Post your resists" thread on your forums would work as well.

As far as determining what is resist gear, in my guild, most pieces seem to have +15 or greater to a resist. Things like Black Ash Robe and Beetle Scaled Wristguards. A good example of something not considered cap-raising resist gear would be Dragonspur Wraps. Sure it is a total of +20 resist but 4 in each is just too lackluster in PvE. Items like that end up having a low value anyway so they usually go for downgrade or wind up being a down payment on a better piece that you will upgrade to later on.

Why in particular do you want the list? Using it while assembling the raid in order to pick who goes? Or are you checking before a pull to verify raiders are prepared? CTRaid used to have a function(may still have) which allows the raid leader or an assisstant to check all resists of all 40 members. /raresist I believe is the command. This seems to be the easiest solution, but bear in mind it will only check on gear being worn at the time.

Two reasons, spot competition and it having x of a resist adds y priority in our loot system. Similar to EJ's cap raising, provides a long-term benefit for looting resist gear. Putting the class reps in charge of it sounds like a really excellent idea though. I think I'm going to head down that road. Great tip.
