End game clans - how do you manage Mages and raid bosses?

Wanted some opinion from other end game clan leaders...
Am I harsh on our clan Mages? How to you manage them?
Mordris and Hrungnir are killed every 2-3 days...
Every 2-3 days we must provide 8-10 alt books from bank, because our clan Mages refuse (some don't) to keep lures or freeze as part of their daily builds.
So every 2-3 days we have to give these alt books from bank, and wait while they alt and organise themselves to the correct number freeze and get lures sorted.
How do you guys get by with mages? Do they provide their own books? Do you provide them like we do? Is there someone in each clan that just has lures?
Looking for end game raid bossing opinions please... Cheers
Mods - please don't move this this isn't a mage question its a clan leader question

Have the active mages have lures, while 3-4 mages that already have freeze rings should be supplied with freeze skulls.
Lures are really integral in this game, this drastically cut the time of any bosses you're killing.

I think you need to re read the post. Im well aware of what lures are, lol
Do u think we have freeze skulls sat in bank? Lmao
Clearly for my post no one wants to be full lure, otherwise there would be no problem

If no one wants to be full lure then be it. Kills will be longer and more tedious, maybe then mages will finally own up and start using lures. Or you can be severe on them by forcing some mages to go support.

For raids also get a rogue with Max bomb and expose, makes much quicker kills

Tell the mages to suck it up and stock up on Alts or they won't recieve gear, some might leave but the ones that stay should be dedicated to clan

Yeah because everybody can stand to lose mages. If any clan ever "forced" me to switch my build to something I don't want to I'd tell em goodbye

After each end game boss, collect the gold from the boss and bank it. Then use that cash to buy alt books, rebirths, hastes, etc. that's what we do.

Can you not kill Mordy without freezing? We have not killed Mordy while freezing since last May or June. Our reasons for changing our strategy were that our kill times were generally from 5-9 minutes (So we knew killing without freeze wouldn't be a problem.) and it was a real pain to alt all the time. I generally kept (I am not active at the moment) pierce lure with my regular build (bolt, storm, attune, and fire lure). I switched to bolt, incin, attune, fire lure, storm, and e shield for the winter obelisk. (We found that generally pierce lure was not as important for the obelisk, and that our kill time was directly proportional to the number of fire mages present at the fight.)
On Lugh, we did have some people that wanted to collect raid boss gold to pay for tank elixes and mage alt books. We could not gain enough support to do it, and it would be difficult to enforce with our raid boss situation. (We kill raid bosses with multiple clans.) If you kill raid bosses with just one clan, I would say you should collect raid boss gold for that purpose.

Thanks goods, yes we stole that idea from you... Sourcing alt books ISNT easy though!
@smartone, yes we do kill her when our dps is good enough, last kill we killed her and mordris was dead in 15 minute, the time before we froze her and MORDRIS raged for maybe 1 minute, it's a numbers game for mordris. Lots inactive with the old devices not going, lots of dual loggers can no longer dual log
@friddo... Yes smoke expose always maxxed (Duh), we have rogues that will run one support skill for us. Some run both
