Improved Shield Bash is very useful for both PvP and PvE encounters where spellcasters are involved. Additionally, it is an effective pull-skill and a threat generator.
Functionality[]
Improved Shield Bash adds a chance to silence the target after a successful Shield Bash.
Notes[]
Improved [Shield Bash]'s usefullness at first glance is to prevent spellcasters from casting for a short while, thus reducing damage or preventing harmful effects to you and your party. The same applies for PvP encounters, for example preventing a mage from Blinking after a [Frost Nova]. At the same time, it is the best way for a protection warrior to pull a spellcaster back to the main party, since by silencing a spellcaster you force him to switch to melee mode.
Additionally, Improved Shield Bash is one of the most effective threat generators for a protection warrior. The threat caused superceeds that of [Sunder Armor], for example, while the rage cost is even lower than [Improved Sunder Armor]. The only thing that prevents the spamming of Shield Bash on spellcasters and non-spellcasters alike, is its 12 second cooldown.
Shield Bash is a nice combo with [Bloodrage], since the 10 rage generated is just enough to make a great opener in threat generation.
Patch changes[]
