Shield spike for aggro generation?

So yes if you're trying to grab lots of stuff, it's a good idea to have an extra shield for those encounters, if you have it available.

QFT. A spike is a nice addition to your AoE tanking set, but is not recommended for general tanking purposes.

How does the 2% to block shield enchant stack up? Is the +7 stam better for tanking than the 2% to block?

In the high end where it matters you'll probably be at or over 25% block anyway so it's almost always better to put on the +7 stamina.

given we get some very aggro sensitive fight where >EVERY< point matters, yeah, this is a nice way to squeeze out just a little bit more :)
