how good is shield spike at 19?

got a paladin and a warrior, it seems I can use thorium shield spike?

if it hits for 10-20 damage on a block it should quickly outperform the 70 hp of stamina enchant right?

has anyone tried it?

what about 8 frost resistance? arctic buckler + dwarf puts me at 23 already, noticable?
 
For Warrior:
You start with a shield with +7 stamina (Deadskull on Horde, Gold-Plated Buckler on Alliance) and swap to Redbeard with Thorium Shield Spike once your first 110/90 health has been depleted (and you have no means to heal it back up). For a Warrior Thorium Shield Spike is very good versus Melee classes. In my duels I find that the Spike itself deals 15% of my total damage.

Some information about Thorium Shield Spike:
- It deals 20-30 damage.
- It is unaffected by armor.
- It cannot be dodged, blocked or parried.

Against Melee classes you'll be using Shield Block as much as possible due to the amazing utility it offers - negating some damage of an attack and dealing damage at the same time. Vs casters you shouldn't really bother using Shield Spike. As a Warrior you put fost resistance on Arctic Buckler and use it versus mages.
