Shield and spear?

Do you think we’ll be able to see prot pallies and prot warriors wield shields and spears? I think that would be super epic. What are your thoughts on that?

This isn’t Sparta.

“TECHNICALLLY” we can.

you can go into the fury spec so you can equip a 2 hander, and shield.

that way you can use Polearms as your primary weapon.

Not sure how viable it’ll be in any content…

brb. Lets see if I can create a spec for PVP using 2 hander.

I wish! Spears were a weapon category at one point in the original game’s development. It’s still mentioned in the original manual. Give us spears and a shield dps option for warriors again, and let us all live out our 300/Amazonian fantasies!

Love this idea!

First Iteration and test in the wild

Outcome not promising.

Give Shaman a Sword/Board DPS build for Enhancement. Do it. It is both good and noble. The shaman year for Glad Spec.

Last message we ever received from sprawlie on the forums…turns out no…no, it was not viable in pvp

I would play a Blood Elf Paladin wearing some of the BfA mogs with a spear and shield to live out my Achilles fantasy.

Edit:

Good god OP turn on a fan and get rid of that swamp butt.

Came back to this thread to see the feed back on your earlier post, I think the concept cool feedback far funnier

Doing a Delve (Normal spec)

I’ll report in after a few Battlegrounds (RIP Team mates)

EQ has 1h and 2h piercing. 1h Piece had some spears as well as daggers. I really do like the look of a shield and spear.

Just make them “swords” and call it a day. Wouldn’t be the wackiest thing going on.

Ok.

Trying this spec out. It’s interesting. you lose rampage and raging blow itself.

going to need quite a bit of practice to relearn some abilities. definitely not truly viable. doing some world quests with it roughly 300dps on world mobs in 598 ilvl pvp gear.

So you’re doing tank DPS. Sounds less than good.

At least its tank level and not healer level o.o,
