[RIFT] Gearing.

Okay. So I'm not far from 50 and it looks like were possibly raiding on Sunday.

I reckon I can make it to 50 before Sunday, but the problem then becomes getting geared to the point that im useful as a tank.

So I have two questions :

1) What is an acceptable level of gearing for a tank? Health-wise I know im looking for about 9k health, and im aiming for about 50to 60% avoidance.

2) Since there are such alot of ways of obtaining gear at 50. What would you fellows say is the one to focus on. I know I can obtain some decent stuff from PvP, but other than that, im a little confused.

Thanks for your help, folks.

To gear you as a tank for this sunday is simply going to be impossible (as well as lacking the experience from masters/experts)
As a DPS it is possible to get some quick gear from PvP and we can make the full warrior crafting set (except for the ring)

Correct, You're more use to me as a poorly geared DPS than a poorly geared Tank.

Plus as far as tanks that are geared/experienced go...

So as a newbie you're not going to be picked above those cats for outr first raid.

Also as i've always mused. Your class can DPS/Tank, learn to do everything your class can do and you're a damn sight more uselful than someone who isn't versatile (Wait's for sexual versatility comment, Lonny don't let me down now!)

You know me Pirate. I'm so versatile I'd bend over backwards just to give you all the innuendo you could ever dream of.

And as it seems not to have actually stuck (maybe too much lube?) we should officially call them sex spurts. The reason is twofold:
One, it sounds enough like it to not be unreasonable.
Two, none of us are prudes, and I think we all enjoy talking about sex.

That last paragraph is fully, wholly, serious internet business.

It's also a good distraction from Zhar's unmentionables, Masia's unquestionables, and Pirates unrepeatables.

Also worth considering is getting runes on your gear asap. At least three of us guildies can do them, and none are particularly expensive.
