Tanking Shields for Protection Paladins
Current for WotLK and Patch 3.3
With Protection as my off-spec, the one piece of gear I always seem to struggle finding is my tanking shield. I am still using a level 219 shield from Ulduar, if that tells you of my difficulties. So while I was perusing wowhead, exploring my tanking shield options, I decided to write a quick post on the subject.
Starting at item level 200 (epic quality) and moving up, I have compiled a list of tanking shields for Protection Paladins. They are as follows:
BoE Lvl 200
Lvl 200
- The Skull of Ruin (Naxx 10N)
- Royal Crest of Lordaeron (Culling of Strathholme H)
- Crygil’s Discarded Plate Panel (35 Emblems of Heroism)
Lvl 213
- Hero’s Surrender (Naxx 25N)
- Barricade of Eternity (Eye of Eternity 10N)
Lvl 219
- Splintered Door of the Citadel (Halls of Reflection N)
- Shieldwall of the Breaker (Ulduar 10N)
Lvl 226
- Wall of Terror (Naxx 25N)
- Northern Barrier (Ulduar 25N)
Lvl 232
- The Boreal Guard (Ulduar 10N)
- Aegis of the Coliseum / Bulwark of the Royal Guard (ToC 10N)
Lvl 239
- Bulwark of Algalon (Ulduar 25N)
Lvl 245
- Crystal Plated Vanguard / Forlorn Barrier (ToC 25N)
- Aegis of the Coliseum / Bulwark of the Royal Guard (ToC 10H)
Lvl 251
- Neverending Winter (ICC 10N)
Lvl 258
- Crystal Plated Vanguard / Forlorn Barrier (ToC 25H)
Lvl 264
- Neverending Winter (ICC 10H)
- Icecrown Glacial Wall (ICC 25N)
Lvl 277
- Icecrown Glacial Wall (ICC 25H)
u messed uo the ten man icc shueld the link is to the bulwark of the royal guard heroic instead of to neverending winter
i yes i completely agree with you on this one i have been running toc 10 for forever and have never gotten a shield upgrade im still using skull of ruin even though it is the coolest looking one out of them all
Heh, thank inc! Didn’t notice that!
I feel your pain Khor. I’m still using the Titansteel Shield wall and zoning out the Naxx 10 raid and progressing into Ulduar and ToTGC-10 mans and raiding from once a week to 2x’s a week.
The The Skull of Ruin looks nice but I haven’t seen it drop.
Thanks for the compiled list. =)
