More advanced info coming:

I really enjoy tanking (obivously otherwise I wouldnt be a MT in guild) and I believe Im a good tank, advantage came from tank being my 3rd 70 so knew the game by then, but Ive also spent alot of time in groups with very bad tanks over the years so here is some advice related to WGs post above and my previous experiance as both tank & healer....

As the tank in the group you are the leader most of the time, you need to learn the pulls in each instance (what to pull, how to pull it, when to pull it without grabbing an add, what needs to be killed 1st, what needs to be CCd) you need to mark targets for kill order (Skull 1st, X 2nd, moon sheep etc, these are what alot of people use) this allows you to focus more aggro generation on the mob that everyon will attack so you dont loose it.

I dont have much multi mob tanking experiance with Warriors so not sure how you go about dealing with that (other than Demo shout & Thunderclap), Im guessing once you have enough threat on the skull you can start tabbing to the other mob around you and throw on a couple sundar armor (highest aggro attack methinks).

This sort of organisation in a group will 1) make the wow vets in the group feel better, 2) make you feel better as a tank as mobs wont be running everywhere, 3) should make everything run alot smoother.

As with most things it comes with experiance and it can be hard to do with Pugs, getting into a good guild will get you alot of helpful poeple who will take their time with you when tanking in instances and throw you tips and suggestions as you go through. Obvisouly you cannot lead, mark, pull very well if you dont know the instance like the back of your hand but it all comes with practise :)

Couple of things that make me so angry when I group with a warrior tank which you would be best not to repeat is:

USE DEFENSIVE STANCE! Its for tanking, its 10% less dmg you take and alot of threat! Warriors tanking in Berserker stance make me cry inside.

Dont try and tank with a 2h, i dont care how uber you think you are.

Im sure there are many other things in my mind which I want to say but I think I may of repressed those bad bad times :P

Anyone able to help me out?

I want to quit my guild, but im leader.. I need to transfer ownership to my alt (theres only me & my alt in the guild)

as both need to be on the same time, this aint possible. - Can someone create a character on Twilight Hammer so I can transfer ownership to you, then I log in with my alt & you transfer ownership to my alt

Bit pointless being in a guild on my own. I want to run raids & dungeons for better armor

Leon

I can do this for you tomorrow if you havent sorted it before then :)

Quote from: Eggtasticofound an easy way to make money...

Main Character being 365 & 370 in cloth & leathermaking, I buy up all the leather & cloth & then make the easiest lvl 61 stuff
1st Alt is 298 Alchem & 275 disenchent. I disenchant all the items usually getting 3-4 arcane dust or 1 or essence. Dust sells for 1.25G each & the large essence around 8G
Also buy up any weapons under 10G as they usually have essences - just spent 45G on a few weapons, returned 4 dust & 7 large essences. So an easy 15g in 5mins :-D

Also main is out questing when the AH is quiet & im mailing back all the greens to my alt. The money is rolling in thick & fast. Up to about 200Gold & around 300Gold in value on the AH.
Though that 300g will be reinvested in cloths, leathers & cheap weapons.
Also bought the basic flying mount for 100g


Ive made a sh*te load gold like this :) but tbh i didnt read through the other 20 pages and see what proffs you had, cus im lazy :P

Big money atm the moment is Jewelcrafting, or rather Prospect ores for Blue (rare) gems, and then either selling uncut or cutting them to fancy gems :)
Im not a JC but i pay someone 2g a stack to prospect ores, and 1g a cut on every gem, so in theory

20 stacks = 40g
will get 10-20 gems from this, so 10-20g more for cuts, depending on how lucky you are with the actual gems you get, noted some are worth 10g some 50g, you can make an absolute mint.

Also if you Prospect thorium ores you get the old gems like Emeralds, Azerothian diamonds etc, with less people farming pre tbc ores, these gems rise in price dramatically on some servers but people always need them to lvl trade skills so they sell rather well, so i find its still worth farming thorium now and again.

Doing stuff like that is a very quick way to get alot of cash but involves alot more effort than Im willing to put in (Things like Auctioneer addon does make this slightly easier). When Im not on my main raiding or grinding towards that stupid rep/extra peice of gear, Im normally working on a new alt.

Amusingly Ive made more money with my lvl15 alt than I have with my main for quite some time... leveling jewcrafting and selling the level 8-20 rings and necklaces for 1g-3g each and since they mainly only use copper and cheap gems i got millions of its pure profit from something I had to do anyway :)

Eggtastico

think Ill drop leatherworking then

chrisdicko

Well, Im level 63 now!! Just started to get my plate armor with sockets.............Whats best to put in these for me? Fury Warrior (going prot at 70).

Depending on amount of sockets would it be:
1. Stamina
2. Agility
3. Strength

In that order?? ^^ Also, what are the relevance of the different coloured sockets? Like Red, Yellow etc. And finally........once you have put a Jewel in the socket, can it be removed??

Cheers

Eggtastico

no jewels cant be removed

Blue Red Yellow usually only have one stat
Purple (can be used in red & blue), green (blue/yellow) orange (red/yellow) usually have 2x stats

Ran Kara Yesterday & Today. Took out everything except Illian. We just lacked that little bit - though my job was to just SoC the adds, which was easy enough until my pet died (no more dark pact)

No good loot either :-( most of it got sharded.
