Glad to see more somewhat easy to acquire caster shields being implemented (assuming this drops in a heroic)

Kommentar von 484995

Dropped from Normal Pit of Saron, Scourgelord Tyrannas.

Kommentar von taurenmoo812

Finally! A decent spell shield that doesn't require 10-25 man raiding to get!

Kommentar von 485504

A direct upgrade for this. If you don't have access to raids yet, this is the perfect shield that you will want to get your hands on as a resto sham or holy pally.

Kommentar von 405835

This just gets easier and easier to gear alts...
Great shield tho! (It was such a hard decision to buy that shield over tier tokens)

Kommentar von taurenmoo812

Omg.. please don't say they changed the design of this. The avatar first looked like the Pulsing Spellshield . Now the avatar looks like the Shield of Assimilation.
As a elemental shaman, I can't say how much I hate using Shield of assimilation, trying so hard to get Pulsing spellshield from ulduar, or just any other shield to replace it.

The design, and way Shield of Assimilation sits on the back is just ugly, and poorly designed, and I hate having to look at it every day.

God blizzard, please don't just make another version of this!

Kommentar von felixmdx

and again healers stuff :(
shamans need DPS shields! when blizz make more of them?

Kommentar von 277491

I don't care what this shield looks like. After all the other fail attempts of trying to get a new shield for my shaman. I'll take this in a heartbeat.

Kommentar von elgustav

40...the exact number of boss kills according to my statistics that could have dropped a shield upgrade for me (from Protective Barricade of Light) and yet I have never had 1 drop.

9...the number of months I have had to use Protective Barricade of Light and unequip when out of an instance to avoid embarrassment.

3,481...the number of tears I've shed as I cry myself to sleep because I don't have a new shield...still.

About time Blizz :D

Shame there's no HC version but this will be a welcome upgrade to many I'm sure. Now maybe I'll start to QQ that the Frozen Halls HCs seem to drop every type of weapon (including 2 different 1H Tank weapons) and yet nothing for Holy Palas.

What's that? The drop rate for Battered Hilt has been lowered? /sigh

Kommentar von 356328

I would like to confirm that this does indeed drop, although it appears to be extremely low compared to the other items I have seen off of the last boss. This took me 20 attempts to actually see this shield drop and thankfully I won it.

Kommentar von Wolfje63

Well, after a couple of days farming the Pit, Finally got it dropped: 18 runs, 2 drops.
Lost one drop to another holy pally who was healing that one, I was selected as dps for that run.
It looks not as a pally or shaman shield, but its obtainable. I got other people in the run that had this one and got it on their first, second or third drop.
So: keep at it. it WILL drop.

Kommentar von 337845

I am running into the same problem as others have posted, so i suspect the droprate really is low for this item. Been running this instance 2 times a day since patch day and I haven't seen it drop even once.

Shaman who are after this may also want to look into Shriveled Heart from heroic HoR. Getting that turned out to be way less of a hassle for me.

Kommentar von 81639

Quite disturbing that it drops in normal mode imo. Noone does normal runs, even if you ask them nicely. And besides, why can't they just implement a shield thats rewarded from badges instead? Im drowning in emblems and theres nothing (outside raids) I can upgrade my Protective Barrier of The Light with since... I mean... CMON!

Kommentar von 497561

Got it on my first go round. Almost feel bad, since I'm still getting epic'd and wasn't even expecting a shield upgrade yet. Woo!

Kommentar von 521282

This dropped for me.. Nice upgrade from Zom's crackling bulwark.. Now for marrowgars on 25mn

Kommentar von 486174

For a resto shaman it is very nice to see them finally add a shield for us. Like an above poster I also have way to many boss kills with no upgrade for my very very embarrassing shield. (2/5 T10, with the rest of my gear being mostly 251 a few 245 and one 200 shield lol)

However, I would still much higher recommend the Shriveled Heart caster offhand from HoR over this shield. Haste is much more preferable to mp5 which is the least concern for anyone geared for ICC. Still hoping for a shield of even close quality to the easy to get offhands out there.

Edit: Great point Razor, I don't PvP very much (not any good :P). For PvP I can see how this shield would be a fantastic addition and much better than Shriveled Heart. Now if they would have a heroic shield similar to the Shriveled Heart stats, I'm sure both pvpers and raiders would rejoice!

Kommentar von 465402

I believe this is currently the best Intellect shield available without going to a raid.

Kommentar von xaratherus

I had run Pit of Saron several times and never saw this drop. I had been carrying Aegis of Damnation for quite awhile, and was bothered because all the upgrades were from raids for which I wasn't geared. However, I helped run a couple of guildies through the three new ICC dungeons last night and this dropped; it's definitely a nice upgrade.

Kommentar von 530958

Really bad tbh, I've soon done 40 runs in there to try get that shield, hasn't even dropped once! WTB higher drop rate, sick of that instance now tbh.. :'(

Kommentar von Trude

You have to rememeber that with https://www.wowhead.com/cata/item=50309, the int is quite a lot less, even without the enchant so, as a holy pally i would take this over the off hand any day. Just my opinion though.

Kommentar von seancwatson

Ok so no joke, I have ran normal PoS 14 times now and still have yet to even see this drop for my resto shammy. I must have the worst luck ever or the drop rate is much lower then what Wowhead shows

Kommentar von clarkeyboy

Anyone else notice that this thing resembles a Tauren's head?

Having seen this on my armory upgrade list, it is now my goal to own it, as it is so cool! :)

Kommentar von 29784

Has anybody else noticed that this shield is rotated 45 degrees clockwise? Looks kinda silly when it's on your back or on your arm.

Of course I'm still glad I got this shield. :P

Kommentar von Chimeling

19 runs and counting, never seen it drop..
*sigh*..

Kommentar von snags

Tyrannus sometimes bugs out in the current build, in my experience it has happened in 5 runs of the 25 normal I have done (he does it in heroic too). That is, in 5 of the runs he bugged out, sometimes it happened multiple times after resetting him (wiping), once 3 times in a row before I dropped group to get ported out while in combat to avoid another repair bill. All up about 9 times it's happened to me.

From the World of Warcraft Client Patch 3.3.3 Known Issues post:

Pit of Saron - Scourgelord Tyrannus can remount Rimefang during the encounter.

From what I've seen, debuffing him while he is mounted seems to be a possible offender in causing this. Things like Faerie Fire, Hunter's Mark etc. If you are having issues with him resetting constantly, tell your party to let him land and attack the tank before doing anything to him, damage or debuffs.

Considering how annoying it can be to get this shield to drop, this bug can make a person want to punch kittens.

Kommentar von Lhakil

This probabky has the lowest drop rate, ever. Everytime I run this on my resto Shaman it never drops. Even the items that drop from Scourgelord Tyrannus that have a lower drop rate come up more. This should be coming up as much as Shroud of Rime because that thing always drops when i run Pit of Saron regular.

Kommentar von 568323

Absolutely dumbfounded. Shaman DPS are queuing up with the intention to ninja this off the healer because, "There's nothing better until ICC." This is the sort of thing that should be on emblem vendors.

Poor game design imo, gg Blizz.

Kommentar von bookworm13

I just noticed today as I was sitting on a bench that the eyes slowly glow and fade. The pictures don't do it justice -- this is a very nice looking shield.

Kommentar von 275496

This seems to have a much lower drop rate than all of his other loot, just finished my 16th run to see it drop for the first time and lose out on it to a Shaman dps, because Mp5 is so great for an elemental Shaman right? On a plus if your a Hunter the Raubanngewehr seems to have a 75% drop rate, it's dropped on 12/13 times on my 16 runs.

Kommentar von 230791

I saw this drop the first time I went to PoS and lost it to an ele shaman. Haven't seen it drop since and at this rate it looks like I'm going to complete my tier set with badges and then buy the lvl 200 badge shield before I can replace my stupid lvl 187 shield. :( This is the main reason I hardly play my holy pally anymore.

Kommentar von 414348

Which races does this look "sideways" on when it's on the back? All?

Kommentar von 510997

I've been running regular PoS for the last week. I must have been in there 50 times but still no shield. Hopefully it is still a drop here. Has anyone seen it drop withen the last week or so?

Kommentar von 626096

After working very hard for 3 days; on my 17th attempt the shield dropped for the first time and I was ninja'd by a ret paladin. Have a nice day.

Kommentar von 519598

I just witnessed a hapless resto shaman lose the roll on it to a ret paladin - whose OS is currently prot on Armory. Glad to know that's going to be of immediate benefit to him!

The fighting is fierce over this shield, so if you're going to farm for it, be prepared to have competition from anything that can wear it. Due to dual spec, it's always going to very likely that the ele shaman, ret or prot paladin in your group is going to roll on it. It might suck since their current spec in the dungeon is not to heal, but thank Blizz for making this thing crazy insane hard to get.

Kommentar von 470447

Painfully low drop rate on this thing... I've farmed Reg PoS on my Resto Sham countless times now, for several weeks, and not even a single drop. Tempted to just get the Shriveled Heart from H HoR, which aside from being unenchantable is a decent substitution.

BUT, the Protector is one of the BiS "off-hand" items until ToC10/25, so if you're lucky enough to pick this up, you'll get some solid mileage out of it. My HPally had this for several months before upgrading to the 25m Marrowgar shield.

Kommentar von Duckster

After 40 runs I still havent seen this drop for my holy pally. I am beginning to think this shield is a myth. No way it should take a person weeks to farm a decent shield for a healer/caster. Another fail for Blizzard.

Kommentar von Zomppa

It was my first run to PoS normal and everything went very well. There was ele sham, resto sham (me), DK tank, hunter and warrior. I was there in hope for this shield. Very well, when we got to last boss and shield dropped i was totally shocked, but as usual after i needed it ele shaman needed that and i lost it to him/her. He/She had staff from Garfrost normal and i asked ´´Why u needed shield when u dont have MH?´´ So he/she actually ninjaed it from me, when it is better for resto than ele. Then he/she said, ´´Why i would need MH if i dont have shield?´´ and left. So that was my first experience from PoS and im now desperately farming the shield so i would get it some day.
And i know that it is very common to ninja shields and i knew that he/she is going to ninja it. But anyways good luck for 'em who get it!

P.S Sry for this wall of text :)

Edit: Some typos fixed

Kommentar von Choob

First time in the dungeon trying to get this i ran with another pally who was prot/ret. She had the gall to ask me before we got to the final boss if healing as a paladin was fun...i said yes, big mistake. So shield drops and i'm excited, need it, timer ticks down to almost nothing and she needs it as well. She takes it and says "i need this for my new off spec", and instantly drops group. And people wonder why paladins get such a wonderful reputation, they're the new hunters in terms of rolling on things they have no business rolling on.

Still stuck with my warsong stormshield 10 runs later...

Kommentar von leotheras

everytime i read a comment about people farming this shield for a long period of time, i cant help but let out a small laugh. it would be a lot easier to get your gs higher and do a raid such as toc 10m for the shield that drops off of anub, but thats imo.

but anyways gl and happy farming :)

go ahead and downrate this comment idc, but when you read it just know the informtion is correct

Kommentar von 637974

Though, it drops from a normal dungeon(Infinite farm attempts), it is superior to all other shields that drop from all 10-man raid instance for(with the listing by priority of need):
1-Shaman(Restoration)
2-Paladin(Holy)
3-Shaman(Elemental)

However, when queued through the Random dungeon finder this makes things risky for either of the aforementioned classes/specs due to the possibility of being available in groups(combination of either 1+3, 2+3, 1+3+3, 1+3+3, with the really low probability; 3+3+3 and 1+3+3+3), therefore, if you don't have the chance of entering(Naxxramas{Naxxramas} or Ulduar{Ulduar}, 10m and 25m) still have blue shield such as either of: Facade Shield of Glyphs(Fassadenschild der Glyphen) or anything lower, either exchange emblems for Protective Barricade of the Light(Fassadenschild der Glyphen) or try to purchase Zom's Crackling Bulwark(Zoms knisterndes Bollwerk).

This is an advice from a holy paladin who has ran the regarding instance for 25 times and never seen it drop where there were shamans who would need on them in 15 runs, and protection paladins were wanting to ninja it for the 10. Therefore, before being on raid entry level, set your focus on this shield, however, don't get too focused on getting it as this is a drop of Pit of Saron(https://www.wowhead.com/cata/zone=4813:Normal) as in the similar way how Banner of Victory(Banner des Sieges) is for Trial of the Champion(https://www.wowhead.com/cata/zone=4723:Normal).

Kommentar von 449685

finally got it after 31 kills.
(first seen on the 20th kill but lost to a prot paladin)

Kommentar von 662320

Another resto shaman here who, after seeing it drop for the first time on the 21st run, lost this to a ret/prot paladin who needed it "in case he decides to try healing." The greed of some people in this game is amazing.

Run #25 - another ret/prot paladin wins the shield! He also wins the dps chest off the same boss.

Kommentar von reliq

Ran PoS twice on my Holy Pally, and this shield dropped both times. The first time, a shaman begged me to let her have it (I didn't know how desirable it was), and me being a nice guy (hey, I'm a holy paladin...:)) I let her have it. I was roundly told off by my HP mentor LOL So, next time I ran PoS and the shield dropped again, I nabbed it.

Yes, it dropped both times I ran PoS; my mentor was not amused - it took her 20-30 runs to get it. :(

Kommentar von pallokim

Dropped the first time my shammy ran nPoS.

/highfive

Anybody? Anybody?

Kommentar von soulfate

Yeah I agree how it should be emblem oriented, mostly because im a tankadin and im only running for this sheild for my OS I passed it once on my first run to a resto shammy not knowing the terrible drop rate. So now im almost on run 20 and just lost it to a ele shaman (fml?) -.-

Kommentar von 656718

On my 50th try now. 14 runs ago a warrior took it from me (resto shaman) because I was mean to him. Who wouldn't be "mean" if the guy tanked mobs in the tunnel everywhere else than on the platform.
I won't rest until i get my fictional shield of 1's and 0's in this game

Kommentar von soulfate

FINALLY I got this after:

34: Forgemaster kills
33: Ick Krick Kills
31: Scourgelord Tyrannus kills

A lot of dps drop after "forgemaster" cuz the mace wouldnt drops.. Fail groups and scourgelord glitches.. was it worth it? heck yes hahaha. -.-
