Raid roster planner
Add players by class and spec. The planner counts tanks, healers and DPS, lists every buff and debuff your roster brings (and what is missing), estimates debuff-slot use against the 16-slot limit, and gives you a link to paste in Discord. Buff lists are the Classic-era spells as they exist in Forever; some talents were renamed, so treat talent buffs as "if specced".

Rules of thumb
- 40-man: 4–5 tanks (2 main + off), 10–12 healers, the rest DPS; 20-man: 2–3 tanks, 5–6 healers.
- Keep at least 2 Druids (Innervate, Rebirth, Faerie Fire), 2 Warlocks (curses, summons, soulstones), 2–3 Hunters (Tranq Shot, pulls), 2 Mages (decurse, Scorch) and 3+ Priests.
- Debuff slots are 16; standard raid debuffs (Sunder, Faerie Fire, two curses, Scorch, Hunter's Mark, Shadow Weaving, Nightfall, Demo Shout, Thunder Clap) already use 10, so DoT-heavy specs (Shadow Priests, Affliction Warlocks) need a plan.
- Alliance stacks Paladins for Blessings (one per Paladin per target type); Horde stacks Shamans for Windfury and Mana Tide.
