Hi,
I've taken upon myself the task of leading my guild's second group in Emerald Nightmare (Normal) this evening. It basically consists of initiates that couldn't fit in the main raid and social members. This also means the main raid has picked the healers they needed, and the second group now only has 2-3 healers so far with the majority of sign-ups being DPS (obviously). We already have two tanks, so that's not an issue.
My question is, what would you say is the recommended number of healers vs DPS in Emerald Nightmare (Normal) ? I remember from WoD that a golden number was typically 2/3/9 (looking at the group finder) with 3 healers. Would you say the ratio is roughly 1 healer per 3-4 DPS? Would 2/3/12 be pushing it too far? And what if we only manage to get 2 healers, or maybe as many as 4?
I want to include as many as possible, but I don't want to push it too much considering several of the sign-ups are social members, and I have no idea what kind of raiding background they have at all.
I apologize if this information is already available here in the forums.
Thanks in advance.
