Best class for gold making / potential GDKP runs assuming fresh 60

Hey all, recently started playing classic again and my buddy is gonna boost a character up to 60 for me.

I’m trying to get a decent amount of gold before TBC, so was wondering what would be my best bet for farming gold assuming a fresh level 60 in about a week?

I was thinking maybe a healer for GDKP runs since I don’t see myself being able to gear super quick? And I think by the time my gear would be decent enough to boost on a mage/etc it would be too late.

The other thing I was thinking of was selling portals since I do have 3 WoW accounts (from retail). Although having a level 60 warlock for summoning seems kind of wasted potential (unless people bring undergeared locks into GDKP runs for the summons?)

Thanks!

Mage.

It’s literally the only answer for making stupid amounts of money.

Interesting, even starting this late?

Yup. Go AoE some shiz. There’s probably 6 or 7 hundred Youtubes on how to do it.

You’re not going to make gold off a fresh 60 from GDKP. Nobody is going to take a poorly geared player to a GDKP unless they’re buying. And if you’re buying you’re not making gold.

On the contrary, you don’t need decent gear to boost. I was doing SM boosts on my mage with garbage greens from the AH.

Geared mages have a lot of spell power crit and hit, which isn’t useful for AoE abilities. You want a big mana and health pool, which greens can provide nearly as well. The only really big thing you get from epics is the 5 piece t2 set benefit which increases AoE radius by 25%.
