  Hi. That is a really broad ask but I will see what I can do and try to keep it concise.
  
  Group size is somewhat arbitrary and will really come down to you own guilds play style and ability and how you want to define yourself. If you do want to be pushing objectives though I would say at least 12 with a good group composition, which will be the most important point.
  
  So for group roles/composition I would say you wan't a roughly 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 split of Healers, DPS and support roles to get a good balance. A ratio I keep in mind personally has always been in sets of 4. so for every 4 in group you build up at a ratio of 1 healer, 2DPS and a support build, starting with rapids, then purge builds warden defiles ect.
  
  Key sets will vary depending on the build your group is going for. it's good to have an overall idea of how you want to play. between your healers and or supports you want to get as many key supportive sets in such as:
  
  - Transmutation
  - Earthgore
  - Worm cult
  - Sanctuary
  - Spellpower Cure
  
  I Think these are also the order of priority to.
  
  You also want to think about sets like Hircines, Gossamer, Ebon ect and anything that is going to buff multiple people.
  
  Your other roles will vary but you definitely want at least 1 dedicated rapid spammer so your group is able to continuously move and not get locked down. as for DPS I would recommend magicka Nightblade destro bombers. other DPS classes and builds can be beneficial but only if you are truly confident in how you are implementing them into your specific strategy. Innovation can pay off but you will want to at least be mindful of what is currently meta.
  
  Your tactics will come down to you own play style and playing to your strengths and weaknesses. If you feel your players have a lot of damage you can be more aggressive about pushes but maybe have to be more cautious and mindful about your movement because you might feel a bit squishy ect. Or if you are really confident in your healers maybe you want to let people beat on you a bit before striking back to have them use more of their ultimate.
  
  As far as general strategy goes I think to 2 most important things to focus on are communication and movement. If you can't master these 2 things the more in depth stuff will never work out.
  
  If you are interested my guild have been doing some podcasts very much related to your question and guild building in general exactly in the hope of seeing more new guilds come to fruition. So feel free to check them out you might find it useful.
  
  Best of luck!
  
  which server / faction / time periods do you intend to be playing on?

  Indeed recruitment can be very difficult lately with the current population. I definitely recommend ensuring any potential recruits are like minded to you and want to achieve the same goals as a guild. These ideological difference often go under the radar until they tear a guild apart down the track.

  Vilestride gave most of the good tips. I want to add that you should encourage players to have full speed mounts. Part of raiding is sticking together as a group and moving quickly to get to the fights, so full speed mounts make a huge difference in Cyrodiil. If you don't have those, then either you are always waiting on slow members or leaving them behind to get ganked.
