Tanking and Time Commitment

Recommended Posts

I'm able to play roughly 25 hours a week and I'm wondering if that is enough time to be able to get the consumables and everything to be the 1st OT or MT of a relatively casual raiding guild. I really enjoy being a prot warrior in endgame and know the spec well, but I would like to know ahead of time if I can even do it.

I'm assuming with casual raiding you mean no more than 8 hrs per week in raids.  If so 25 hrs per week total should be plenty to do the extra things you need to do.

Yeah you can definitely cover consumes and such with 17h. Even at just 10g an hour that's 170g a week which would cover everything but a titans.

If you're the MT your guild bank might cover a flask per week for you. If you're not you wont need it either way. Raiding, even for a casual guild will take no longer than 6-7 hours in total per week for BWL and MC/Ony. You would be fine with 15 hours /played per week.

Depends, do you have an alt that can generate Money?

If you don't die in Raids you kinda get out even with BWL+MC in terms of Consums (without Flask).

You don't need an alt to farm.  Understand the economy, what items are got, and grind for them.   Some come from level 38 mobs.  Some from level 18 mobs, so on.   I will not detail by trade secrets, but highest level mobs does not mean highest gold per hour.

Lets not forget. Tanking is in high demand and people will will PAY for a well geared and skilled tank. 25-50g/hour isnt impossible just from tanking 5mans for people.

I actually tried charging like 10 or 20g per run of DM W on nost with preraid BiS gear (the damn server shut down after my guild's first week in MC) and people just bitched and I didn't get any offers. Do I need to have some raid gear to be able to charge like that?

You'll probably have to settle for less gold the worse your gear is.

Maybe someone here can shed some light on this.

Farm mobs that drop useful raid mats.  Go look at the mats required for things like fire potions, restorative potions, nature potions, etc.
