I think its awesome because you can activate two of the three things easily. Most PVE warriors have points into tactics strength and a weapon of their choice. And the energy boost is helpful.

Before the launch of the game you could preorder your copy of guild wars, when you did there was a unique item not found in gameplay reserved for you in your inventory, I have the same shield as well.

That depends on you. In pvp where people know how to ignore your armor and shtuff, Canthan only looks cool while you're dying.

However, as far as a pve shield is concerned, Canthan Targe is king... If you're going into pve and want to do something nasty to the mobs, you can't beat the Canthan.

I forged a powerful warrior of axe with this setup with my Canthan.

10+1+1 Axe Mastery
9+1 Tactics
7+1 Strength
10 Curses
12/10/10/8 - strong pve balance, but not as powerful as
16/9/8/8 - my pvp build, used with a str shield with Fear Me! as a dias weapon.
16/9/10 - high curses for massive enchant stripping as well as other options if needed...

Not only do you get all the benefits from the canthan [who cares about the extra 2 for another weapon mastery, sheesh!

] It gives you a very healthy dose of hp that coincides well with a fortitude mod and your sup. vigor rune. You can be sitting on 700+ hp if you have all the right gear and skills. As a PvE shield, the Canthan is by far the best money can buy [through a preorder ;p]

I saw the stats for the Ithas Bow and the War Pick. Not that good from what I hear...

Is there a way to get the canthan targe without having the preorder?

No, it was solely for preorder. And only from certain merchants. I wish I could sell mine.

I think you need a better sheild. I personally would rather have the max collector sheild. Either one over this.

I think its the best pre-order items unless you count the coke korean items. And the health and energy boosts are nice especially since I usually have strength and tactics in PVE.
