I had no idea just how good this shield was until i sold it and bought a master shield. Now I never block. There's none on the AH now and I have no way of getting it back. This is by far the best shield up until Koenig. Very undervalued.
saw one of these the other day for the first time (equiped, i had seen them in the AH before)
it was so cool looking i had to /c the rdm who was wearing it. honestly, i was a little dissapointed that that awesome looking shield goes with the totally bland musc. commanders.
imo, for RDM this shield is good until darksteel/spiked only, and not really worth buying to replace balance buckler. especially for only 4 lvls.
