Also what's hte main benefit of shields in pre-luclin era? Bash? An extra item with extra stats? Warriors get bash without shields at lvl 55, so what's a shield worth to them? Just extra stats?

Nothing really. Bash is cool though. I assume shields are just higher AC than normal items that could go in that slot. At least in classic.

Honestly I mever played one on live; I just figured any class based on Shaman must be great.

dps less than dps class, heals less than healing class, slows less than slowing class...

its a fun class, but until they gave them a unique line of abilities/buffs they had no obvious utility on raids. eventually this got fixed for them, but for a long time the only reason to play beastlord was if you actually liked the class.

Ahh yeah. But in live SOE encouraged multiboxing. Not much could outdmg an afk non-scripted beastlord with auto attack on. And the pet could off-tank Plane of Disease mobs easily.

Well it still gives AC, just no extra AC.

AC never really worked correctly on eqemu , it doesn’t make a huge difference here not compared to raw hp

It does now.

Well before Kunark shields would enable non large warriors to quickswap for a bash stun.
