If you decide to go Buckler...

[Shaolin Sam]

<p>Where are the good ones at?</p><p>I'm not seeing an impressive array on the broker atm. Does anyone know where the good "no trade" ones drop maybe? The best I've seen on the broker is the Archaic Buckler atm <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>Heh!</p>

<p> Also...</p><p>Buckler of the Howler - Shredder in FTH </p><p>Some buckler drops off of the trash in HoS. I've forgotten the name.</p><p>I believe the matron drops a buckler with a heal proc on it.</p><p>I'd rank them, in decending order (ignoring the matron, as it's a fairly difficult contested. If you can get it, you don't need my advice and I'm too lazy to actually look up the stats <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />):</p><p>Howler, Festering Flesh, HoF, Ironplate/HoS, all the treasured ones.</p><p>If you're not tanking, there are a number of nice treasured resist/stat bucklers that are easy to get. I'd place everything from ironplate up in the 'acceptable tank wear' catagory, particularly if you're not raid tanking. Flesh has the highest survivability of any buckler. Buckler of the howler drops a smidge of protection for a great DPS proc and HP.</p><p>I personally use the festering flesh buckler as I haven't seen the buckler of the howler to drop, and it gets the job done.</p><p>Snorm -- 70 Guard </p>

<p>Even if you can somewhat raid and in a guild that does so casually then Buckler of the Howler is the only way to go.  If not then go for the unrest buckler.  I however am not buckler specced and wont see myself doing it for quite sometime.</p>
