Archmage Antonidas was the leader of the Kirin Tor of Dalaran and teacher to the Archmage Jaina Proudmoore of Theramore Isle. He was killed by the Scourge during the invasion of Dalaran, when Arthas together with Kel'Thuzad invaded Dalaran to obain Medivh's spellbook to summon Archimonde into Azeroth.

This is not a Pally tanking shield. All shields of the same item level share the same amount of Block and Armor, the other stats on this shield, namely the Spell Crit make this more suited for a Elemental Shaman, or a Shockadin.
Tanking Pallys are better suited picking up actual tanking shields that increase Defense and avoidance ratings.

Commento di 51867

Bear in mind that there is no PvP shield available which increases spell crit and damage. I would roll on this for my pally, because he is a spell dmg/crit-built combination healer/dpser and this would help out extraordinarily in arenas.

Commento di Nephili

For PvE content, this shield is only good for two things, when it comes to pallies: you outgear the content, and want to tank using high threat/low avoidance; you want it to help offtanking, where you can swap back to a 'real' tanking shield when aggro shifts to you.

Having spellcrit on a healing shield may be nice, but there are better healing shields around for the taking (unless this will otherwise rot)

Hahaha! This shield looks just like The Pick of Destiny from the Tenacious D move! :D Only golden-bronze coloured instead of fel green :D

This shield will give an elemental shaman:

+200 mana
+2 mana per 5 seconds
+0.75% more mana from clearcasting
+1.25% more dps from crit
+20.2 dps from the +damage

and ofcourse the other stats aswell

...making this shield the best Elemental Shaman off-hand there is.

It's not however the best there is for Holy Paladins: https://www.wowhead.com/cata/item=32255

Don't forget the 6336 armor. VERY nice PvP item.

Good sheild for Holy Palas and Healing Shamans

Commento di Rarehunter

Note that this shield has the same amount of armor/block value as the Bulwark of Azzinoth, but it has no equip defence rating and a proc that gives you 2000 Armor. If you're a tank, you would want to go for the Bulwark.

Commento di Choochoo

Another note; it's small.

In fact, it's hilariously small.

Looks like a little backpack on the back of a male draenei. So cute.

I would only use this shield if i was out AoE grinding mobs has more armor than the Illidari Runeshield and more spell damage.

If tanking i would take the Bulwark of Azzinoth or Sword breaker's Bulwak if i didnt now have Bulwark of Azzinoth.

and to amrantehtank if your a pally and on a dps race to hold aggro toss Salv on everyone and tell them salv or no blessing they will take it. and help you keep the aggro if they cant control there aggro, but most ppl i have seen can.

Commento di 109382

i know people hate hearing what items are good for but i would like 2 point out that this shield is not meant for either healer or tank, I would assume elemental shamans could get the most use from this though otherwise prot pallies might find this usefull

Commento di 152854

(As a prot paladin) I wouldn't take this over a shaman needing it, but if there's no need in that department, prot paladins could use this for trash tanking, just throw on a spike. You don't just walk into Hyjal every week to fight Archimonde and no one else.

When did this site turn into Thottbot?

Discuss the shield itself, not who should be bidding/rolling/whatevering it.

Commento di 179941

is it shamans forum? :)
ok, all advantages for shamies you post, but for what reason dd\heal shield has highest armor & BV stats?

its best protopaladins shield (they have reflective tps so they are restricted in avoidence -> they always should maximize mitigation i.e. armor & BV; also palies tps differs from demon\undead to all other so spell damage will never be too hi)

https://www.wowhead.com/cata/item=32375 has additional mitigation only from proc & about 1.5% avoidence from def stat so it can be best choice only if pali has enough spell damage yet

yes, if protopali already has bt shield, he should pass it for shamies, but only in such case because equping support(!) dd class over tank is stupid :)

Holy paladins are gonna be all over this for the last month or so before WOTLK

Dropped for Nihilium off of Archimonde in Mount Hyjal

Commento di Allakhazam

Looks like a elemental shaman shield, though it is pretty good for healing as well, just because of the sheer amount of stats it has. ><

Commento di Thottbot

srry for those who claims this shield is the best healing shield, but i prefer the Felstone Bulwark it's way better than this one...i dont care much for the slightly more armor and block...

Felstone Bulwark:

5930 Armor
160 Block
+28 Stamina
+21 Intellect

spell crit: 27
increased healing by spells and effects: 64

Antonidas's Aegis of Rapt Concentration:

6336 Armor
174 Block
+28 Stamina
+20 Intellect

spell crit: 20
increased healing by spells and effects: 42

Commento di Thottbot

Named after Archmage Antonidas of the Kirin Tor, Jaina Proudmoore's instructor, who was killed by the Scourge during the invasion on Dalaran.

Commento di Thottbot

probably the sham since it diesnt say healing but dmg and healing better question is who would get it if there wasnt a pally or a sham in the group

Commento di Thottbot

lol this aint only a pala tank shield, its also a elemental shaman shield u tool

Commento di Thottbot

Whoever decided that a paladin will always be an off tank or a healer? I'm a 70 paladin that always is the MT in our guild, let me tell you were not JUST off tanks and healers. I mean heck all the warriors in my guild went DPS! Geez! Whos to MAKE us do all these things?

Commento di Thottbot

And by the way Shammys... if your MT isn't a pally... even if it IS a pally... roll anyway... no one should miss out on something like this :)

Commento di Thottbot

I don't care what anyone says. This is the best shaman shield in the game. Priority over paladins? Heck ya. We will make tons better use over that bonus dmg than you can possibly imagine. Use your badge shield or somethign else, but this is for shamans.

Commento di Thottbot

Like the previous posted stated, this is THE best elemental Shaman shield in the game. A paly should not get it over a elemental shaman. Then again it will come down to who has more DKP anyway.

Commento di Thottbot

its not a part of a set it's from BT Paladin, shaman shield.

Commento di Thottbot

Elemental Shaman should get priority

Commento di Thottbot

As a tankadin, I would not roll for this. I don't need the spell damage this adds. I get enough from my sword and from some of my equipment.
I want a shield with more Stamina and midigation.
Now Tempest of Chaos I would want to roll on.

Commento di Thottbot

Definetly Elemental Shaman Shield. If some Paladin would take this from me, i would kill him.

Commento di Thottbot

ok this drops in Mt. Hyjal. So let me assure u that:
a) no one will be ROLLING on it.
b) a guild with that kind of progression knows damn well who deserves this item, not only by class, but down to the individual person.

So, when a hyjal PUG downs the boss that drops this, then the discussion above becomes reasonable. Until then, u can stop.

Commento di Thottbot

If this shield really belonged to Antonidas, then it should be legendary ^^
Since Antonidas was killed by the scourge, and since the scourge and the burning legion worked together, it's actually pertinent to see it in Archimonde's hands

Didn't know archmages could use shields btw, could lead to a rather imba heroic class ^^ (mage with 11 k AC ftw)

Commento di Thottbot

It's really one of those many items that either of the intended classes can use. But as a rule of thumb, generally tanks and healers get first pick due to there being not as many options for them and harder to get anything on their own.

I personally wouldn't let a Holy Pally (I have one), Enhancement (and one of these) or Resto Shaman roll on this if there was a Prot Pally or a Elemental Shaman who needed it.

Basically the crit is more for a Elemental Shaman but the armour and block is for the Prot Pally though none of the stats are wasted on either.

If the pally had a warrior type shield (anything without int, mana regen or spell damage) and was hurting for caster stats then he/she would get preference.

Other than that words of advice, be nice to your tanks and healers otherwise they may tell you to roll one yourself as they exit the guild (this doesn't mean you have to bend over backwards for them). ^^

Commento di Thottbot

this is totally an elemental shaman shield, not a prot pally, and this is probably the best shield for ele shammys

Commento di Thottbot

shields give too much avoidance to waste this item slot on spell dmg for a paladin

rings and cloak can each give at least 30 spell dmg at this lvl of gear and dont usualy give great defensive stats
