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

Good info. But my guys are currently 67. Unless I'm doing something wrong, I sill like the 2H weapon in pve. I open with Lightening bolt, and if that doesn't kill the mob I click 'interact with target' and they usually finish the target with 1 melee hit. I have the feeling that if I'd use an earth/frost shock it's a waste of mana. Must admit that this tactic worked better at the earlier levels. Now it's no longer a guarantee 1 hit kill any more. I do realize now that when I encounter high end content that tactic will become obselete and have to stick to casting only.

Thanks, but will be a while before I'll get those babies

And good to know that weapon skill doesn't count for pvp. I'm thinking to dual spec 1 shaman ele/enhancement, so I can use him later on in a melee team for his totems. Need to figure out if he should use a 2H weap in that case or just go DW, but that is stuff for later.

Thanks guy, that answered my questions.

Just say it with me =p. Melee range is *BAD*!

1h shield the whole way if your elemental, nothing should live through 2-3 rounds of lightning bolts and chain lightnings.
