Ok here's the deal. Guild is working on downing Vashj and Kael. Then we will be starting Hyjal and BT. I am still using the Aldori Legacy Defender. I don't think i should be going into t6 content with a t4 shield. I have heard many people say that the Vengeful Gladiator Shield Wall is the best shield next to Bulwark of Azzinoth. It has 4 more stam that when i am using, 37 bv and 900 armor. Is it really worth it? It doesn't look all that great to me. I am currently trying to get the Bulwark of the Amani Empire, 16 more BV than the s3 shield, 1 less stam (with 12 stam gem), 700 less armor and 19 more block rating. Does the 6.1k armor on the s3 shield really make it that great? Especially when it offers nothing else.

i'm a firm believer in AC after reading that post a few weeks ago. in this case, you would take your bulwark of the amani empire for farmed content due to the higher block value, and the s3 shield for progressive content.
