bankbeauty said:Both crusader and lifestealing are useless as a FC in my opinion. You'll be, about 75% of your time, running and positionning and not attacking.
Hurrx said:Depends on the situation. If you're in flag room with 2 healers, I'm sure they'd be happy to see you get a 100 str buff rather than having ~5-10% extra parry. Just my opinion though.

then i suggest using the parry BoA sword. i mean resil does give the lovely reduction of damage but 4parry rating will be wonderful if you dont keyboard turn vs rogues which do crazy damage
i have and always will use lifesteal. i donno if ppl ae aware but lifesteal procs like a mofo with rend matter of opinion tho i guess. im not one to run around while fcing 100% of the time. if i see a chance to kill comfortably i will and plus, while im fcing across mid, im backstrafing spamming rend and getting continuous 30 hp procs over n over n over..
tribal said:since parry only works for frontal attacks, wouldn't Enchant Shield Vitality (+10 sta - +10 spir) be the best choice? also, stamina will work against a hunter / magic user where parry will not
Hurrx said:What's the point of having any avoidance at all if you're not going to try taking ALL damage from front? And atm the majority of the bracket is melee so I would not take 100 hp over 11% parry.

tribal said:If you're turtling the flag, then yes. If you're trying to cap, stamina is king, because like it or not, a lot of dmg comes from behind as you're running (and even strafing). I think we all agree that gear is situational. If the OP didn't want to spend a ton, then stamina will always work and should be considered as 'multipurpose'. If he wants two shields, with two separate enchants (as he should), then use parry if turtling, against heavy melee, etc.
tribal said:But to say "get this enchant because all that play are baddies" is 1) encouraging future baddies, and 2) gonna get him raped against non-baddies. Knowledge is king

again... all up to opinion
and to answer your question mrcer, theres basically just me on horde (medivh) and a druid on alli (medivh) im sure alot of people have offsets with prob 1300-1500 hp in stam sets but i think its prob only 4-6 US wide for fc. basically, most of the 10-14 twinks are new and seeing wsg dont pop regularly, im guessing the vastmajority are built for wargame 2v2/3v3's and dueling.
