Has anyone else been experiencing issues with drops? Leveled my warrior first for raid tanking, ran Botanica 3-5 times daily to get the shield from second boss, took roughly 20-30 runs. Steamvaults 20-30 times trying to get Devilshark cloak, no luck yet. Leveled my pally to 70 because tanking 5 mans as warrior is god awful, having the same issue with drops. Every dungeon almost always drops caster cloth/leather/mail, hardly any melee gear drops and no plate tanking drops in 100’s of runs of multiple different dungeons. Starting to really not want to login just to waste time running the same normal 5 mans over and over trying to get pre-bis so that i can finally start doing heroics. Got somewhat lucky on the warrior in Kara and got King’s Defender, bracers , boots, and legs. Now to go mortage the house so that I can afford to get them enchanted/gemmed. Good god the inflation.
I got tanking gear from Netherstorm and Shadow Moon quests, some elite. I play a paladin, dual spec prot/holy. I tried getting the spell power/defense armor from Bot and Mech to no avail, so I am using some of the quest spell power/def armor. My defense is over 510 (yeah I need to swap some things around to increase my avoidance, but it’s expensive) … Is the rep armor (honored for HH, Cenarian, Sha’tar, etc…) from the vendors any good for tanking for a warrior? At least for starter Kara stuff…
Just get carried through Kara and passed tank gear. Then you can hop into heroics no problem.
