hi, back after 10 years off wow, and doing enchants on my warrior and find my self asking what happen to shield enchants. does any one know any thing, i remember that back in classic most items were enchantable or in some way could be add something of benefit for that item. now with some time gone i get somethings change but cant find a reason for taking off shield enchants i mean why not add some thing to the tanks shield to help it out. idk if any one know let me know? thanks
would you rather be spending 3k more gold whenever you get a new shield? that’s all adding a shield enchant would get you
I’d be fine with that, why draw the line at shields? I enjoyed having ways to buff up my gear in every way possible back in the day. Now, we upgrade every 45 minutes until bis, so it’s not quite as fun, but I still appreciate having them, ymmv obviously.
shield spikes were certainly a big deal for warriors back in the day. IIRC there were int enchants too.
but tank threat generation has totally changed since then and so has mana regen.
and with throws and leaps and whatnot, warrior guns (and their stats) have gone away to.
i think being able to enchant pretty much everything is fine by me.
Buy Mithril Shield Spike from Vanilla.
You are now superior to everyone else, with their naked shields.
“Cannot be applied to items higher than level 0.”
Lmao.
Happened in I think WoD or Legion when they reduced the amount of enchants someone needed. Same with caster offhand enchants.
