When Tseric asked this last week on the forums which shield players like the best, this one got a surprising (to me, anyway) number of votes. It may not look like much (no flaming skulls or sparkly bits), but the ERB gets the job done... and how.

Name: Elementium Reinforced Bulwark
Type: Epic Off-hand Shield
Armor: 2893, 54 Block
Abilities:

• +23 Stamina
• Increases the block value of your shield by 19, and Increased Defense +7
• To quote the players who loves this shield, it "looks like a car door," but blocks like a "chunk of wall." It's de rigeur for an MT up through BWL. Sure other warriors may have something flashy like the Drillborer Disk, or something a little classier like the Draconian Deflector. But when you want to block a lot of stuff and don't care what you look like doing it, ERB is it.
• Also, it's spiky and metal. That's hardcore.

How to Get It: Easy-- drops from Chromaggus in Blackwing Lair. At a 5% drop rate, you'll have to farm him a few times (which means, of course, you'll need a guild geared to the hilt), but the good news is that this shield is as "warrior drop" as warrior drops get. Without Int or any other Pally or Shammy bonuses, ERB is just for those who like getting hit hard.

Auction Price: BOP again. 9g 80s 56c to a vendor-- has anyone ever vendored this stuff? At this level, doesn't everything like this just get DE'd?
