IMHO, the change in shield block is very interesting. Maybe there is some usage of size 1 shield again? Let say tanking NM that uses hundred fists, swap in size one shield during the hundred fists just for better chance not to get interrupted? |
I don't know if I will change the way I use Sentinel and Rampart. My number one goal is to keep the mob on me, so if I need them for hate I am going to use them. This may change with Rampart if I see that I can save it and use it before an AOE spell but most of the time I am relying on that to get stunned (in big fights).
Using a smaller shield size for Hundred fists to keep from getting interrupted would be interesting. It would have to really help a lot for me to not use my Keonig Shield though. I block a lot of hits during hundred fists anyways, and the damage reduction on a bigger shield would be the real deciding factor (not to mention the +enmity you would lose). Not sure, someone go test it
