Recommended Addons

Things you ought to have if you want to participate in the 52-60 dungeons:

1. Group Calendar:
http://www.curse-gaming.com/en/wow/addons-2718-1-groupcalendar.html
Download current version: 2.2
Set to Manual Configuration; Channel name as "Narsil" (leading capitals) and password: "narsil"; set Trust to "Anyone who has access"
This addon allows you to view the guild's planned/scheduled activities. You can indicate your attendance for each of these events. This is recommended for all members of the guild.

2. CT-RaidAssist:
http://www.ctmod.net/raidassist.ct
CT_RaidAssist is an overall Raid Assistant. It allows you to easily monitor health and mana/energy/rage of not only your group, but anyone/everyone in your raid. It also provides you with several additional ways to increase your raids performance. Up to 5 raid members can be set to Main Tanks. These constantly report info about their target, keeping everybody updated on their performance, and helps coordinate actions.

3. Ventrilo
http://www.ventrilo.com/
Ventrilo is a Voice over IP (VoIP) group communications software widely used in online games. You need headphones/speakers and a microphone (if you wish to talk).
Download and use version 2.3
Our alliance guild (Order of the Red Rose) is hosting the server.
Server info: Sharp.typefrag.com
Port: 18357
Password: will be told to you ingame
Set a Hotkey to talk (I use Right CTRL key, for example)

4. Voice Overlay
I have found and tested this program which allows you to see who is talking on Ventrilo while in-game.
http://ui.worldofwar.net/ui.php?id=2075
I recommend you download from this site as it includes the required dll file.
Extract files to a folder you can find. Then I recommend you create a desktop shortcut to the exe of the folder.

I know all this could be quite technical for some of you. But I'm always here to help so don't be shy to ask if you have problems setting these up. :)
