What's flash freeze?

Preface: I've been leading raids on and off for years, and I'll try to very throughly and concisely explain fights to my guildlings. After I'm done explaining or during the fight I get a question for which the answer was already explained. I've come to the realization that some of the raiders actually zone out as I explain things and miss something important. I, myself, have zoned out when other raid leaders are explaining things from time to time.

I realize several of my raiders, while they're good players and good at what they do, have ADHD. Some of them can watch a Tankspot video and still be absolutely lost as to what to do.

They learn and digest information a bit differently.

Luckily, I'm an altoholic, I have a firm grasp on playing most classes and what various classes do in a situation. With this in mind, I've taken to having very brief explanations for them that tells them what they have to do without flooding them with info.

A few of my players, while good players, are fairly new to raiding. They've come off PVP servers where they've done little PVE and little instance grouping, so things that are exceedingly basic to some raiders may be stuff they just don't know yet.

I figured I can't be the only raid leader out there trying to herd felines with an exceedingly short attention spans, so I'm writing this blog as a way to share with others how I've managed to successfully explain fights to assorted ADHD players.
