Druid Shapeshifter Weapons and Shields

[Meldrath]

Do druids block while in shapeshifting or is it better to have 2 hand weapon?
Which is better, shield or 2 hand?
And...
What is the best for the 2 hand and weapon/shield?
And...
Poor man's versions of the best 2 hand and weapon/shield?

Thanks,
Meldrath

Druids do still block in wereforum *Wolf & bear form. Generally when playing PvP wolves will use one hand weapons with a shield and kee a two hand weapon in stash to be flexible. In PvM you can go either way, if you want to be a tank you can go with a shield but would kill a little slower and if you wan't faster kill power you can use a two hander but are more vulnerable. Both have there advantage and downside.

A few weapon idea's to throw out for one hand weapons would be , Ebotd Zerk , Greif Phase blade , Baranar Stars , Stormlash and a few others with Stormshield.

Two handed weapon choice would be Ribcracker, upped and Shaeled it is quite nice.

For at two-handed weapon, I recommend windhammer. I have an 8-frame attack with only the ias from the weapon itself and the werewolf+fury skill. Good CB, and the twisters will stun your enemies for a short time, making it easier to survive. Plus the damage is superb!

I'd recommend grief pb since ias only affects wereform speed when on weapon (well, off weapon ias barely does anything)

I have a wolf druid myself, and I went high str ;o idk why but I did.
Two hand is the way to go in PvM, if you keep blocking you'll get surrounded ;p Any good speed weapon is good. If you're going low str then ribby is the best imo.
