it is alway pathetic when going to repair and looking that the repair bill so high as a guild MT. i was wonder how does any other guild treat their MT, as the prot warrior are so slow in grinding and it takes lotsa gold for buying gems, repairing and enchanting.

our guild MT is subsidized by the guild bank which makes gold from selling ssc, tk and bt crafted items/patterns.

i think he gets approximately 250g per week for repairs.

gems from trash drop (use dkp so no gold spent) and free enchanting by guild enchanter.

just wondering, the daily quests aren't enough?

In general main tanks are a bunch of spoilt people giving the age-old lame excuse that they cant get the gold cause they are prot. In reality, they just dont know how to manage their ingame finances.

And remi is right, dailies have basically given all players an "I Win Button" for getting gold.

saingau : you seriously have no idea, let me ask what level is your raid experience?

do you have any idea what a good main tank needs? how much their repairs are?

and no daily quests doesnt do shit, what u gona do ? shield slam mobs? those non killing quests also doesn't really give much...

i agree with set84 mt goes trough so much....some have to use pot that others never even heard about...

step 1 : roll a warlock as main $$
step 2 : roll a MT.fully prot

My main is Furioness - MT of my guild. Go armory her http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.x...rom&n=furioness

The only dailies I've ever bothered doing is the netherwing and thats just cause I want the cool drake. The easy 30 - 50g is bonus on top of the other income I get.

I usually dont post on LYN unless I have a solid idea / understanding of the subject at hand - so please, dont tell me I dont have an clue

Just so you know what consumables I use in raids

1. Flask of Fortification (or the free one from marks if its available
2. Elixir of Major Agility / Major Defense (on thrash mobs)
3. Ironshield Potions
4. Adamantite Sharpening Stones
5. Well fed buff food

Its not the repair bills , its the resist gears.

MT's can cover their repair bills through dailies.

Yet again, theres no guarantee that if a raid keeps wiping for no reason. Maybe you can accumulate enough repair bills to break even your dailies?

Consumables are the same, everybody must flask, everybody must pot.

iv seen tanks use some crazy buffs last time they had like 4-7buffs before even the raid started buffing...

1. Marks can get from guild. I normally just get the first one.
2. Hm i dun even bother pot on trash. Not necessary.
3. Hm good pots but not high usage. Alot of miners will gladly sponsor the motes of earth.
4. WF?? hehe
5. Skettis rep can buy or just fish.
6. Armory me!!! haha

Tanks have it tough so do healers for farming. In general, it helps to get just a lil subsidy from guild bank but 250g per week. Wow that's alot.

To Plaz/Kurei

Agreed that resists gears cost a bomb and farming sucks - but if one can manage his/her finances and/or overcome the sucky part of farming, its just basically management of finances similarly to RL. I personally do not farm, nor do 10/10 dailies everyday. Yet, I have

a) got 2 epic mount.
b) half funded 3 guildies epic mounts (~2500g for each = 7500g)
c) both the FrR and NR set for Hydross and have helped the OTs get theirs.

Not stroking any epeen around, but my key message to the OP...




Also theres no right or wrong, its just a matter of how each guild deals with the situation. Also, I've given out gold (I control the guild bank too btw LOL since im co-GM) to our old MTs (preTBC) before so I know whats it like, as I've been on both side of the fences

Our MT http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.x...hul&n=Truepower

When you are in a raiding guild, technically you should be pushing a new boss every week after downing all the farmed bosses (assuming 1 shot) so you will be spending at least 1-2 nights of full wiping on new encounters.

Repair really adds up especially for bosses with less trash (archi/ROS/illidan), downtime of wiping is so low when learning.

hm...all he does is log on for raids?

let me ask, are you working? if so is it a 9-6 full time job? what do u do on weekends?

sideline : sets84, thought u quit wow?

Who are u asking.

he respecs for arena every now and then and does a little farming during that short period. Asides from doing his daily quests and mining, mostly on alt.

Tank and Healer can hardly DPS, compare to other DPS who can do the daily quests more easily and faster.

Assuming: 2/3 of the daily $ go for repairing, while about 1/3 of same amount gold earned for DPS go for repairing.

They dont have much left to burn.

Enchanting - big $ sink.

Healer will be better unless his a plate-wearer.

*** ***

Suggesting roll another class to farm $, then why play Tank at all, that need to play 2 classes?

Be considerate for them, raid-noob.
