to shield or not to shield ... few pvp questions

[zenga]

Uhm nope, they are elemental (guess you've missed that in the first line). And yeah what you describe is pretty much what I'm doing. I love the suicide and take out as much as possible with me :P

Thanks for the input. But still in doubt about if it's worth to equip a shield for the sole purpose of pvp.

You shouldnt ever have to melee anything as elemental, the dmg your gaining by focusing on that is a fraction of what you will do just casting spells. You should always use a shield as elemental, unless you simply couldnt find one yet. Mana is almost *never* an issue for elemental either between water shield and thunderstorm. Most of my shamans dont even have over 10 skill in their current weapon if that tells you anything, and I've done basically everything a boxing ele shaman or a normal ele shaman can do right now between pve and pvp.

In regard to your ele shams, as MrMcgee said, you definitely need a shield, as this will help a LOT for physical damage mitigation (esp against warriors, rogues, feral druids).
