Shield wp question

[lilianfountain]

Hello,
What minimum gear do I need to play a shield Warrior Priest in PvE? Also, could someone assist me with a spec using RR55 points? I'm not sure what's decent. Thanks in advance!

I’m sorry to say this, but shield WP has been nerfed so hard that it’s unplayable, not even in PvE.

But if you still want to give it a try without spending too many War Crests, try using the Gunbad/CnT/Bastion sets with strength talismans and go full glass cannon (so you at least have some heals).

Try this build so you don’t die in the attempt:

Personally I have healed all instances with shield wp with less than rr50, I used just a mix of beastlord, red eye etc till I got my hands on vale-walker + sent/beastlord. With those sets I went into healing bs and lv.

For build I used similar to what was posted above and renown just fs + crit (not much options with rr45) xD

I've healed every dungeon, LV included, with full vale walker + 3 beastlord on shield WP, using this build:
Shield WP

Swap Greave of Sigmar to United in Prayer when you don't have RP in party

(renown: max block, rest in FS, talismans: strength)

Dunno where this judgement comes from, that WP is unplayable in shield spec.

I mean, my WP is still a baby in its 60s with BL gear, yet i have a BIS DOK, and core toolset of shield DOK & WP is identical (I'd even say that WP is slightly better at healing in shield spec), and i must say that my shield DOK easily outperforms BIS zeals/shammies in PVE in terms of healing (not only my observations, but also a judgement from the perspective of BIS zeal owner).

However, i must admit that the aforesaid is applicable to BIS gear, dunno how fresh 40s WPs/DOKs perform nowadays in PVE, levelled mine long before shield spec has been nerfed.

Side note: shield DOK/WP should be played in glass cannon gear/RR build to reach their potential. I found that investment into def for a medium armor wearer (who has a shield) is a huge waste for PVE.

P.S: The above is applicable to PVE only. PVP as shield dok/WP is painful af nowadays, after that massive nerf.
