The ranking system allows players to attain certain ranks based on the gear and experience they gain while progressing through more and more difficult dungeons. The ranking system places player into a tier which will sometimes give them priority based on the dungeon they are ranked for.
Ranks are based on difficulty of one or more dungeons. When a player reaches the requirements for a rank they are entitled to the highest priority for the dungeon or dungeons that share that rank.
Example:
3 players sign up for a Rank 2 Dungeon. Player 1 is Rank 1, Player 2 is Rank 2, and Player 3 is Rank 3. Player 2 is given the first available spot on the run. Players 1 and 3 are given equal priority for the remaining spots.
Rank priorities are used to ensure the people who need and meet the requirements of the dungeon get to go first. Those who are undergeared and inexperienced for the dungeons as well as those who's gear and experience exceed the dungeon are given spots afterwards.
Rank prioirties are only enforced until Noon on the day of the raid. After that everyone gets the same priority.
The Main vs. Alts rules always superceeds this rule, meaning regardless of your ranks Mains will be given priority.
Dual spec players can and should be ranked individually by each spec they choose. Only the Main and Off Spec can be ranked, no other gear sets can attain rankings. Even the ranking of Off Specs can affect your signup priority.
