I see answer in your question.


You are level 60 Psychic. May be (just may be) you have very good equipment, but can you tank bosses at TT runs ?

He said he just got lvl 60. So how else could he begin earlier?

Why would a psy tank? He'd be going with a squad obviusly.


The lower lvl TT stuf isn't worth alot. Your best bet would be to go with a squad (best to find one in your faction) to farm yourself some better gear. Your money for now will have to go from quests and farming stuf.

Unfortuantly, there are not alot of squads farming lower lvl TTs anymore, so you will have trouble finding random squads.
In those squads though, there is usually a banker that holds onto all the valluable loot till the end of the run.
At the end, most squads will try to distribute the mats evenly according to theyr worth, or what every person needs.
Some squads will also try to have the banker sell all mats, and than mail the coins to each person. Only do this when you really trust he banker though, and once again lower level mats are not worth that much. So it might not be possible, or practical, to sell than like that

Well, when TT runs were commonplace and needed a squad and such, the usual system on my server was that someone would bank the mats, then at the end each person would choose a mat in turn, starting with the tank, then cleric(s), then the DDs from highest level through to lowest. This would repeat until all mats are distributed. Obviously this doesn't really happen these days, but if you did a run with a squad you could feasibly use that system (though it has obvious flaws)

The main answer depends on if you're Free for alling and just letting PWIs random distribution work... which sucks btw since I've had runs where items have all gone to a single person regardless of who picked up. Just an extreme case of the usual 1-3 people getting utterly shafted with drop distribution.

No, what people usually do is "Bank" Where one person will hold all the items then they split at the end by going in a round robin. I think the order is horse **** layered in with bull ****. But usually goes Sub>Tank>Healer>Support healer>DD's (Ordered by level).

As you can see, this is stupid. Healers do next to nothing they are barely worth being there, and if its an APS tank and they have BP the BP is doing most of the work. But the Sin doesn't get any credit for being the healer?

Not exactly sure where to begin why a person who subs who pays like 50k can end up with first grabs on a 10m mat. No... just... no. Split the sub cost like wines if its such a huge wallet gouger.

Next lets look at tanks, bm's and sins make great tanks with good gear and a supporting team. Barbs on the other hand are generally useless, their agro skills are garbage and all around agro does not upscale with their level and gear like it should thus holding back most good DD's and becomes even worse at high levels. My sin was able to take agro from your average lvl100 barb at 60. Brings into question if the tank always deserves first order picks. Which also brings up why do venos get nothing for helping a barb tank by brambling them which adds to a tanks agro (sometimes, depends on the tank). But the main reason the tank is high in order is because HA takes a lot to repair, and because Barbs are slow and weak it takes longer to kill a boss meaning they take even more damage. So thats why things are like that.

Which brings me over to support healer for a quick wtf. Biggest pile of worthless ever. If the tank needs more than one healer, get a new tank. Support healer is just dumb and shouldn't even be recognized.

Now onto DD's (based on level). I just want to throw my hands up at this and say wtf. Being a higher level doesn't garentee anything. I used to go in TT with squads under the traditional system. Often my gear was far superior to someone 20 levels above me. Compare a level 60 with +5 refine and int/chan to a level 80 with no refine or int/channeling. Good example of this happened when a lvl80ish wizard popped in on my lvl60 cleric waiting for a boss to spawn. Even though he managed to get first hit his inferior gear won me the kill. But gear is only part of this matter. How you use it is another part. A person with lesser gear can also out preform a person with better gear in usefulness. Take two BMs (We'll say 90 and 94) and a Sin for example. Sin is tanking and BMs are alternating turns using HF on sparks. For simplicity sake well say the bms are equal in every way having the same gear and level of skills but one is a little lower and there's no one else in the squad. So, and this happens to me a lot btw on my sin, So 94 goes first but doesn't spark and immediately uses HF while sin and 90 bm are sparking. 3 seconds of his hf are auto wasted and he didn't even spark. Next spark comes, everyone sparks this time but the 90 uses genie/apoth for chi after sparking and HF's as soon as everyone is done sparking (Assuming everyone is fairly close on timing, or a bit longer if the sin is using powerdash). And all is marry with no wasted HF, and this continues over and over again. Is the 94 better and deserves to pick before the 90 just because he's a high level? Hell no. There's no reason to instantly use HF, even demon only lasts 9 seconds, lots of time to wait if need be after a demon/sage spark if they do something that takes a second or two like powerdash... which makes a Sin almost always crit for 8 seconds. Something a bm really wants to get their HF on as much as possible if a sin is tanking. But I digress.

I sugggest either going with friends and working out your split. I recommend going with what people want or having the bank sell everything in AH/or to who wants it (With everyone's approval on sell prices) then split the coin. Then people feel less shafted rather then getting stuck with bad picks because all the highers in the chain got all the good stuff.

I not said that "he will go without squad", but drop distribution

That drop distribution is outdated and worthles.
Besides the sub part is even more ****, over at dreamweaver the subber simply got his money back in mirages. Really funny how some people want it like that, but w/e.
So like I said, run with your friends/faction, and you'll have a fair split

Briefly:
you can't do enough damage or be useful in TT runs.
If you are in faction, then you can ask someone to give you mats (this will cost less efforts from high level players than to take you into TT run).

If you will be in random TT squad, then your profit will be so small, that you can take more drop from mobs instead.

Can't do enough to be usefull... He's lvl 60, there is no interval at lvl 60.
It's funny how people think some things are impossible without a sin. Well gues what? We did just fine without sins before Raging Tide. The main DDs were wizzy and archer.

But it's funny how you asume that he's in a high lvl faction.
Most lower lvl factions do have 1 or 2 high lvls, and they very much like to take the lowbys on a ride to teach them some stuf, but they don't 'give away mats'. They might take you on a lower run, where they would do most of the work. But atleast they'll let you do some work for it
