wow... I've skipped a lot of really good shields in favor of my guard due to shield ally.

So... what does this mean for us now? Are we back to rainbow? Get one of the really nice stat effect shields and forget about protection number? Doubting that is the answer but really not happy about going back to the rainbow especially since I may already have transmuted it.

Im not sure about the guard, or rainbow, but that change ups the protection on the corporeal darklight by 130ish

Is Brace of Corporeal Darklight the one from SoH?

Amazing..... So a t7 shield that drops in a green fucken HEROIC instance is better than even the best t8 fabled one. Brilliant!

Fyreflyte or whoever changes these things needs to get hit my a god damn truck.

It looks to me like in trying to fix it so that the Guard wasn't better then the raid drops, the T7 shield was just totally overlooked. It wasn't changed it just has always been that good.

I don't see why Guard needs to be changed by 226 though. We gave up a lot of stats/effects for that protection level. It at least needs to stay as good as Rainbow.

So they make a t7 one better? Just another 1/2 assed shoot from the hip with no fucken clue change.

You didn't even read what they posted. It's obvious they overlooked it.
