FAQ

What shield enchant for a tank?

Greater Stamina (+7) is the default for HP. On resist fights swap to Fire/Frost Resistance of the needed school as part of the set.

Is there a block shield enchant?

There is no direct block bonus via enchant in the base set; survival comes from stamina and school resistance, while block comes from gear and talents.

Can I enchant a shield with intellect or spirit?

Yes, shield-using healer casters (priests, shamans, paladins) can take Spirit or Intellect for regen and mana pool.
