Normal and heroic raids do not share a lockout, allowing players to participate in both normal and heroic modes within the same week without being restricted by a shared lockout. This means that players can choose to run normal mode raids with one group and heroic mode raids with another, or even run both modes with the same group, as long as they are willing to face the challenges of heroic mode.
Understanding Raid Lockouts
Raid lockouts are a mechanism used in World of Warcraft to prevent players from repeatedly running the same raid instance and collecting loot multiple times within a short period. The lockout system is designed to encourage players to explore different raid instances and activities, rather than focusing on a single instance.
