The new raid gear for when we hit 70?

Commento di 13803

Indeed.

To acquire this shield you need to kill 33 bosses in any Heroic mode dungeon. Each drops a Badge of Justice https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=29434 that every player can loot, and which are then used as payment with the vendor in Shattrath.

Easy ;) Shame it looks like a paladin shield....

Players who can attend Nightbane kills may take greater interest in the Shield of Impenetrable Darkness (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=28606), which is about the same and lets you spend your Badges of Justice on other things.

Just picked this up over the trinket and I'm not dissapointed - The things a beautiful shield.

My only complaint is it's glow, it's kinda a MASSIVE ball of light that's quite blinding and misplaced - I'm hoping Blizz does something about this when they rebalance the heroics and finish TBC's Endgame.

Commento di Calladra

I have this shield (was my single motivation to start running Heroics actually) and I love it. Its absolutely beautiful aesthetically and has incredible stats that were only made better in the recent patch.

And while yes, there are better shields.. you can count the amount of them on one hand.

Im personally wondering if I should use my tokens on this or get the exalted Sha'tar shield and use my tokens on the Gnomeregan Autoblocker.

Commento di bodaxinho

Myself i have a preference for the Coldarra but my goal was to get whichever would be available first.

Assuming the 2x12sta gems on the sha'tar shield, the difference between Coldarra and Sha'tar is:

+223AC
+16 Block Value
-12 STA
+9 DEF rating = +3 DEF skill (ratings do use integers)

If one considers a 14K AC with the Coldarra and therefore 13,78K AC with Sha'tar, on a boss hiting at 6K (pre-mitigation i.e. not a very hard hitter) the extra AC of the Coldarra will absorb an extra 24 damage. Considering the number of hits u get on a Boss fight i would tend to prefer the Coldarra over the Sha'tar.

But like i said before i was aiming to get the 1st that would be available and it turn out for me to be the Coldarra :)

Been tanking with this shield since I got it about two months ago (Currently it's August). I've tried out both the Crest of the Sha'tar (Both enchanted with +18 Stamina, and the Crest was fully socketed), and I have to say, which one is better is a matter of preference and is dependent on what you're doing.

In Karazhan, where mobs hit very hard, mitigation is a big help and so the Coldshield is the better choice. There's still plenty of rage to go around to build threat with.

Outside of Karazhan, the Crest is the better choice because it has less mitigation and more HP. Why is this better? Because outside of Karazhan, mobs don't hit for ~1 K an attack. They do 400-500 maximum in most cases, and building rage for threat when only being hit for that amount can be a bit of a drag. Therefore, by sacrificing some mitigation we are able to generate more rage faster by taking more damage, and we have a little bit more HP to sustain us while taking this extra damage.

Just my insight.

Commento di Abraxin

As a tankadin looking for the next upgrade, I would have to say I love this thing mor than the Crest. The difference in health isn't so much that you'll lose and the mitigation and Def rating is much better IMO. Granted, the Crest has slots, but this helps with the current lack of Def I seem to be having trouble with lol. Oddly enough, I am UC and have a ton of health....but my Def is too low. Go figure lol. Anyway, it's really up to you. Both shields are great for either Warrior or Tankadin. Also, this looks hella sweet! Looks like a tankadin shield too :P The price is a bit much though. 22 badges would have been a bit better IMO. :)

~M_D~ The hills have eyes O.O

i currently have the Crest of sha'tar
i was thinking of getting this shield but then some nubsauce tank said the crst was better can anyone confirm this?

Commento di goomba

As of patch 2.3, Karazhan along with the new Zul'aman bosses drop at least 1 badge of justice, the harder bosses drop multiple ones. If you're guild can fully clear karazhan, you can expect almost 20 badges from a run, making it much easier to get this shield, along with new badge rewards =]

Commento di amautor

For a paladin tank just starting heroics and aiming to gear up for Kara, it might be a good idea to spend your badges on the Libram of Repentance https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=29388 first to get uncrushable. Currently, I'm getting up to exalted with Sha'tar to get the Crest of the Sha'tar so I can use badges of justice on other items first.

Commento di 119256

As someone who doesn't play a warrior, but is helping a freind gear his prot specced warrior, I have to ask: do the additional block value and defense rating on this sheild make it superior to the also easily available season one gladiator's sheild wall?

I notice that the sheild wall has superior armour and block rating, as well as stamina, but lacks the defense rating and sheild block bonus. Spoken as someone who has a hunter main, I don't know the conversion of the bonus sheild block- is it a static value? (As in, does it increase by the stated 33? It seems non-sensical to have a stat like that on a sheild instead of just "This sheild has x block value")

Thank ye kindly!

Commento di 78077

The bane of this shield is a lack of gem slots - otherwise there wouldn't be any discussion as to whether this is worth the badges.

As it is, the shield is only good in terms of damage mitigation - but not "great". And certainly not 33xBadge of Justice worth of an improvement on Crest of the Sha'tar, or even Ogri'la Aegis.

For example, Ogri'la Aegis with +18 Stam Enchant and 2x +12 Stam Gems gives:

+60 Stamina
+23 Def
+23 BV
3806 Armor
86 Block

Meaning a significant Stamina boost at the cost of mitigation.

Simply put, i'd skip this and get the Nightbane shield, which IS tankable in the Crest or the Aegis (given a half decent DPS).

And finally, with 2.4 approaching, spending 33 Badges is definitely stupid on this type of badge gear :)

Commento di 138435

Even though 2.4 is coming today propably, I went to get this shield today, I could use a better shield, and fck it, 33 badges, maybe there is better stuff to spend badges on in 2.4, but will propably cost about 100 badges each, and I havent heard of a new shield for BoJ's yet.

BoJ's are coming in fast enough, got 10 of them in one evening yesterday, doing a daily heroic quest, and heroic bot.

Commento di 118751

Funny how nobody has mentioned that this is a direct upgrade statwise from Aegis of the Sunbird from Botanica.

Commento di 78077

This shield is now almost completely pointless given the new Shattered Sun Offensive reputation shield (Dawnforged Defender https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=34676). SSO Exalted can be achieved in a matter of days once you reach around Phase 4 and do all available daily quests.

Spending BoJ's on this is now officially completely stupid, instead of just possibly stupid as I stated above xD

Commento di 95744

News about WLK mentioned "Coldara" as a sub-region of Borean Tundra. Having considered Blizzard's bad habit of spelling - Varimarthas in War3 to Varimathras, Northend in War3 and Northrend in WOW for example - it is quite possible that this shield is somehow related to Nothrend and Malygos (who dwell exactly in Coldarra).

Commento di 147577

I feel that this shield is a waste of badges when there are a few easier options that do not require nearly as much work.

There's the Dawnforged Defender which only requires doing dailies everyday, or doing the new instance, even on regular. Its hit rating helps with threat and the dodge is nice.

However, the option that came clear to me when I saw this item was the Gladiator's Shield Wall. Its base stamina and armor values made me wonder why anyone would get this shield. Even though this shield has got defense, the resil on the gladiator one "lowers" the soft cap for uncritablitity. If you can make up for it with other pieces of gear, you've just earned yourself:
+529 armor
+14 stamina

and lost:
14 Block value (which isn't needed much at entry raiding)
22 defence (which you have soft capped from other gear)

Because the Gladiator shield is accessable from a couple days of PvP, it seems to defeat this shield in every way except defence.

Commento di Allakhazam

Maybe it's just me, but isn't this just, well, silly?

"Equip: Increases the block value of your shield by 33."

Considering that this is, well, ON the shield (and not another piece of equipment), why didn't they just give the shield a block of 148?

Commento di Thottbot

Well worth the effort.
This is the best tanking shield available, Pre-Raid.
Between raiding Karazhan for the shield that drops off Neterwing, and raiding Gruul's lair for the shield that drops off Gruul, you can be running heroic mode for badges.
Its not that hard. If you focus your efforts to one faction, you can easily hit Exulted. I ran HH based heroic instances - Ramparts, Blood Furnace, Shattered Halls. I got my badges (and this shield) and exaulted with HH(and Honor's Call)

Commento di Thottbot

Got this Shield too and it kicks ass!

As said before, an easy way to get Badges are running the Hellfire Instances if you have a Mage aboard. Especially Rampart can be done in no time if your Tank has some decent FR for the last Boss. I just have the new craftable set with a FR cloak and waist and roughly resist half of the firedamage.

Another easy way to get a heroic badge is to kill the first boss in Mana Tombs if your Tank has ~200 shadow resistance unbuffed AND stops hitting the boss if his shield is up. It does a LOT of damage.

Steam Vault is a piece of Cake as well apart from the second Boss where you need at best a feral to fokus down the adds asap since he spawns them like *!@#.

Aegis of the sunbird, blue dungeon drop, This epic is extremely minimal in upgrades compared to this.

Not worth the effort in my opinion, too much work for little stats over a blue drop easily attained in a couple non heroic dungeon runs

Commento di Thottbot

OMFG are u insane saying that PoS shield is better than this one? Well worth the effort for the badges IMO . Getting 4 from Mechanar is Cake, Ramparts, Underbog , Slave Pens. Man 3 Days at most and ya have this Shield. See ya in IF with your Gimp Shield. U do realize Block Value is what Shield Slam works off of. and there is over 400 more armor.

Commento di Thottbot

Yep its a nice shield.

Got mine yesterday.
Quite easy to get tho. Just a few mechanar runs, 5 badges per run :)
Now to get 100 more for the FR gear but thats a different story :P

Guys - if you're a tank like me and have broken the 490 crit mitigation threshold on your def rating without your shield then you should be looking at:

Gladiator's Shield Wall
https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=28358/gladiators-shield-wall

Gladiator's Shield Wall
Off Hand Shield
4872 Armor
122 Block
+42 Stamina
Requires Level 70
Equip: Improves your resilience rating by 27 (0.7%@70).

Compared to:

Azure-Shield of Coldarra
Binds when picked up
Off Hand (Shield)Shield
4261 Armor
101 Block
+28 Stamina
Requires Level 70
Equip: Increases the block value of your shield by 30.
Equip: Increases defense rating by 20.

And yes... resilience is a bit useless for PvE but if your already over 490 defence without your shield then losing a little def isnt a bit deal as your 20 defence rating on the Azure-Shield of Coldarra is only 8.6 when normalised for a lev 70.

So the difference is:

+611 armour (or 672 with 10% prot spec talent)
+14 sta
-9 block value
-8.6 def

Gimme the Gladiator's Shield Wall anyday :)

This will make a nice upgrade from my Ogri'la Shield. :)

Ok i have it from 2 weeks, very nice upgrade from the Blue one of SL... btw, this weekend i'm gonna go farm honor for the gladiator one.

I have 510 defence, so the Gladiator shield is the best i can take now, with the less time to have it.

Commento di Thottbot

I would agree that this shield is an upgrade to the shatar exalted shield but do u guys think its worth grabing now that the other badge rewards for pali/warrs are unbelievably good. And now that heroics can be done at honored and not revered some1 could start collecting badges very early and by grinding to exalted walk away from the countless H-Mech runs with at least enough badges for another badge epic. From the perspective of a noob blued tank I think i would rather get the shatar shield and a SSC/TK comparable epic than blow 33 badges on a shield that, yes, is better but would slow down your collection of other badge loot that is superior to just about anything some1 would get if tanking stuff like kara gruul's etc. And tailgating the previous sentence, some of that tanking gear is the best anaverage person will see for a long time when the coldara shield canbe upgraded to the shield of impenetrable darkness through kara.

Commento di Thottbot

If you're going to save up 75 badges..... I think you're a little too close to the next patch coming out with new 100 badge rewards to just blow those badges instead of just saving up 25 more.

Commento di Thottbot

Im getting this once i lvl up 1 more hehehe 69 prot warrior almost 70...anywho guild said they help me get this its a nice sheild 33 bagdes wont be hard 2 get!

Commento di Thottbot

i personaly use mec. glads shield wall right now. yes it takes a lot of arena to get but id rather do that than kill 33 bosses. I also think it's better.

Merc. glads shield wall VS Azure-Shield of Coldarra

Has 17 more stam. About 1k more armor. 37 more block. It also has res.. Although res isn't as good as defence by adding a small amount of +dodge, block,and parry it still adds cit resistance.

Merc. glads shield wall VS Crest of the Sha'tar

Has more stam even than crest of the Sha'tar with 2 12 stam gems in it(5 more). About 1.2k more armor. 48 more block. Like i said before, res.

Commento di Thottbot

I really felt I wasted 33 badges on these, because a week later NIghtbane dropped his shield =\
