Stockade Pauldrons Plate Shoulders
These epic plate shoulder pieces (BoE) occupy the Shoulder slot. You receive them via mail or trade and equip them on a warrior or paladin. The Classic version with ilvl 55 was available from level 50. It gave 472 Armor and +20 Stamina. Another stat was +10 Spirit.
The Equip effect gave an additional +10 Defense. This bonus reduced the chance of a mob hitting the tank by 0.4%. It also increased dodge and parry by the same amount for warriors and paladins. The tank took fewer hits from mobs thanks to this.
Where Do Stockade Pauldrons Drop
This BoE epic is part of world drop loot with no fixed boss. WoW Classic players could obtain it from level 50 to 59 mobs in the Blackrock Depths and Stratholme dungeons, as well as in the Winterspring open world. The drop rate in Classic was around 0.01% per kill. Our team handles farming high-level mobs in Forever. You won’t have to count kills just for a single drop.
Warrior and Paladin Shoulders From WoW Classic
The target classes for these shoulder pieces are warriors and paladins in plate armor. Warrior tanks ranked them first for mitigation in Classic pre-raid gear. But Slamshot Shoulders from Highlord Omokk in Blackrock Spire gave more threat stats for holding aggro. The difference in mitigation between them was minor. We recommend these pauldrons to those who tank bosses.
Blizzard has reviewed all world epics for Forever and removed the weak ones. We believe that the first drop you get is what matters most in the game. Its tooltip shows the stats for the new version. It’s worth comparing this BoE epic to dungeon rewards before equipping it. You’ll still have the opportunity to send it to another character that way.
