Can resto shammies take a hit?

[philadelphe]

for the vendering/repairing just go Engineering and get the Field Repair Bot

That robot is not cheap.

12 thorium bar
4 rugged leather
1 fused wiring
2 elemental earth
1 elemental fire


Then you have to compare the cost and the time you make to go and come back from vendor combined to your gold per hour.
The cost vary from server to server.
Having enginers in your group can be quite helpful with that robot and grenade.

Edit : If I remember correctly there is a vendor near scholomance entrance, In BRD there is a vendor at tavern. But for some instances robot can be quite useful.
