Shields

I have an Enhancement Shaman and I wanted to get a good defensive shield and weapon so I could make a macro to close my gap distance so I don't take as much damage. Or even if I'm forced to flag carry. Anyone know which is the best shield that has the most armor or stam? Also a one handier weapon that was the most stam. Thank you :)

Hes not trolling.
Stockades shield should be 945 Armor from memory, and is currently the highest for base armor.
Based on what you are trying to do, i recommend the following:
Dont value stam when sword/board swaping to close gaps, as when swapping, you loose the current stam/hp on the weapon(s) swaped out, which is then reapplied only as max health, meaning you loose HP (from equiped weapon) for that instant of the swap unless rehealed.
From this, there are more valuable stats imho (unless you have active heals):
Sharpened Scarlet Kris has 3 PVP Resil - Reducing overall dmg taken (this should be ur 1h wep swapout)
Shield enchant: 9 PVP Resil - Or if you want to go stamina 14 Stam.
Weapon Enchant: I prefer Colossus - since this is on the RPPM system the procs are reliable, not to mention it procs of almost anything (do some testing with it)
 
Are you rolling a 20? Some gear will scale, in fact, most.
If you are worried about damage, you can always choose the bulwark totem. I personally do not choose that because I stam stack my shaman.

Can soneone link the stockade shield please. & your armory Ally :)
But to answer your question. I kinda want stam because I will be rehealing to close my gaps on hunters. Just until my frost shock is back up then I can get right back on them

All I ever play is heals. I am lover, not a fighter. But I do have enhance sets. By going lvl 20 you miss out on frost shock, which shares it's CD with all the other shocks and water walking. But you gain an extra 300 health in BGs. At least with my gear, I do. Self buffed i have up to about 3800 health, 4100 with fortitude. When all if my defensive CDs are popped, I hit upwards of 7,000.

Sweetsidney, they are the only two US.

Have fun!

I'd say people are aware that I'm not an ass. But that's just me, I'll leave you be with your own opinion. I meant no disrespect but what I said is true. All this info can be found on wowhead, though scaling can be found in Lil's scaling index. Just another heads up.
 
alright assuming your running normally double dancing steel on your weapons.

imo just swap to double pvp dagger looms with colossus on them and get a flame shock + lightning bolt and you will probably get you some shields .
then soon as your in range swap to double dancing steel maces.

sheild just doesn't provide enough mitigation when getting into range because most ranged aren't physical besides marks hunters.

Good point i happen to miss, Benandcough is right colossus x 2 would be way better. Using lighting bolt and flameshock proccing colossus , even off healing may make it proc also.
 
Im mostly only concered with hunters and rogues. Hunters have a disengage that takes off any slows so they have an advantage on me. And rogues have double ambushes. So I can negate some of there damage. So im guessing a shield would be my best bet. And yes. I would be running with my shield out then switching when in combat
 
running with a shield would be viable versus rogues .
my suggested procedure would be this.

rogue opens.
if nightstalker or shadow focus talent instantly swap to double dancing steal weapons and flame shock while auto attacking. then place bulwark totem after that way u get the added absorb effect from having double dancing steel up. try to fake cast a kick but be super cautious with the fake. if you get him spam heal until your frost shock is up. then ghost wolf antivenome cleanse to get away and just kite the fucker till its dead.
if rogue is subterfuge this is a little trickier. if you can't see him just strait up go for a fake cast but bait them a little bit more with it (stop about 2/3 way through) usually a rogue is slower to kick while in subterfuge. then cast one full heal if u get him with the fake. you should finish it just as he gets out. swap to your double dancing steel and get a big bulwark. then follow with your frost shock cleanse and kite.

usually you won't beat a rogue in melee range if he throws up evasion so don't bother trying. just kite with lb and frost shock.

there may be better rotations than this depending on what race you are.
if your goblin just fucking jump away and cleanse then kite the rogue and its game over for him.
you can try to cleanse juke earlier if you are a dwarf since you have basically two tried ( one with antivenome one with racial) just my opinion take it how ever u like.
 
Well I have no problems agains rogues. Id just like to run with a shield just in case 2 or 3 rogues are running together. But I herd double ele force is way better for enh shamans. So thats what im running
 
You want shield with major stamina. The resilience scales too poorly.
And vs 2-3 rogues, a shield will not make too much of a difference. Two well geared rogues can handily take my stamina stacked resto out.

very very true.
but i managed to get away a couple times from 2 rogues opening up on me. Obviously there weren't BiS but I got away. There were 6 rogue that BG and 90% of the time i got them out of stealth before they could open. It could be that fact that they were F2P or I just got lucky. But i always keep a flame shock on one if I see them

So which shield do you prefer I get?
