Why is Wall of the Dead > Gizmo's Hypertech Buckler?

[Dye]

fair enough. But i find this whole win/loss ration and such presented on past pages just really random, and if that controls your choice of shield then that's fine. I am just saying that gizlock's is kind of like a spec that looks good on paper but once you start playing/using it you find out that their are just better sheilds/specs that you should do. So you buy that shield or respec. I still stand with wall of dead all the way.

I'm sure that the W/L discussion had NO impact on his decision of shield. Unfortunately someone made a stupid comment that people (myself included) attempted to correct him on (rightfully so). This was not the best place to do it since it somewhat derailed the thread, but at least people still stayed on topic.

As any twink worth a crap should know, almost no piece of gear is ALWAYS the BiS. Most twinks that put real effort in should have at least 2 pieces of gear (often more) for each slot to optimize playstyle based on team comp and arena/BG. If you run with DPS that knows how to peel and just let you heal, then Gizlock's will likely be the best just for the added int and mp5, reducing down-time. As a solo-queuer, then WotD is usually going to be your best bet.
