Default Warrior Shield Attribute
Is it better for Warriors to have Shields that require Strength instead of Tactics?

Thanks.

Depends on the build you're running, but most warriors will use strength shields as pretty much all builds have 9+ in it, whereas tactics is rarely used.

Depends on the build yes.
But like they say, Strength is more in use today.
And i rather use it before Tactics nowdays becouse of the amount of builds and skills avaliable.

considering this is in the PvP section, yes it is always better to run strength

you will run at least 9 strength with any warrior build i can think of that is used in PvP

Off topic: Hahahaha. Good one there.

On topic: Tactics is usually used in farming, one vs one skirmish and general pve which is inferior to strenght which can be used in all warrior builds.

Unless you have a burning desire to run Healing Signet at an insane spec on your warrior, there's probably not going to be a reason in PvP to ever take a tactics shield.

Well, there's an actual use of tactics in PvP, which is for def stances on casters.

It used to be that way until they buffed it by having it increase the duration of weapon spells.
