A ranger friend of mine took me out of my safety zone last couple of days and showed me just what is possible for a lvl 90 Paladin to tank. She had me tanking in CoB last nite doing some missions. We had full group, granted I had plenty of healing under me, but I seemed to be able to take the hits with a heavy healing power'd group. I am now about to ding 91 and thinking of buying a set of cultural and augs to go with it, probably a 250k expense. I don't raid, so nothing I equip will be from any raids, has to be groupable or bazaarable. I could probably get gear by farming VoA or HOT, but I really dont' have the patience.
My question is this: How much of an upgrade is it to go from a full set of Rustic to a full set of Glorious Stalwart with Numinious augs and the same augs I am wearing now? Basically from Rustic to Glorious Stalwart. OR is it that much of a time sink to camp pieces in VoA T2 - T4?
Next question: Has anyone put any of this data into a spreadsheet?
