What is the best obtainable shield for FC nowdays?

[Sâgâ]

Sure you can still buy deadskull shield from other players, but not everyone has that option... So I am wondering what would be the best shield to use in a restoration shaman FC set which is still drops or is a reward from a quest.

How? :0

 

[Sneaky]

How? :0

I'm assuming he means that you can buy GFd toons with it.

I assume I'm talking out of my ass with a great big lack of knowledge :c

Forest buckler isn't bad

Redbeard's appears to be the best due to it's high armor count. Any other option would be kind of silly to choose over it because you'd only be gaining a miniscule amount of stamina for the loss of ~80+ armor.

Lose 6 str 98 armor for 2stam? Nop, I would never use grunts shield tbh. Unless the opposing team has like 0 melee, I guess...

at a certain point with high stacks, burst is more dangerous than steady damage. Healing often over heals now, especially with classes being able to almost constantly heal with no fear of ooming (or fear of shs kick/blanket cs). A 1.25% damage reduction wont matter if a feral still one shots you.

Avoidance is the key to avoid burst, not HP.

If a feral 1-shots you, you are bad geared. Also, say you have 2,5k hp in FC set. VS a feral, 1,25% damage reduction (98armor), would still come on top with about 11hp (in terms of effective health). So no, grunts shield should never be used unless the opposing team is like 90% casters. Not to mention the 6str which gives a little bit of parry too.

people who say u should take hp over resil to avoid burst obviously have no clue

 

[Goesid]

gold plated > grunts?

You'd 1-shot a prot warrior from 2,5k hp at 6stacks? Sorry, nope.
