Which shawl are you guys using?

[bradam]

Title pretty much says it all  =)

I was orginally going to get the default attacker one but was thinking the caster one might actually equal more dps in the end?

[Inphared]

Caster version most definitely. We don't melee well enough (or often enough) to have it be as much benefit.

Outside of raids I am very often the tank for my duo or group.  I'm not there yet (would be done with 6th except I didn't sell out and use the potion, so I failed on a damn combine) but I was seriously considering using the tank version on my beast for the rune effect.  I'm not too familiar with runes like that or how well they work.  What do you guys think?

I plan on getting the heal proc one personaly, as i tank outside raids.

The +mana shawl is the best option far and away.

I personally like the tank type one beacuse I am tank for most of my groups but the caster version is very nice as well...

Tank one has a 225 procrate mod vs the standard 100.
Also from the look of it, the tank one is a defensive proc.
Meaning it procs twice more if 2 mobs are activating your dodge skill.
4 x more if 4 mobs are hiting on ya, etc.
If you need an extra agro boost for tanking multiples this helps too :)

[Blarp]

very true ill just go with the most dps i think

[Inphared]

The problem with the "tanking" shawl is that it procs off of dodges. Dodge is the last defensive skill that is checked during combat rounds, and as such doesn't get checked very often. Mobs usually either just hit or miss in my experience. It's pretty ineffective, and isn't as beneficial as the other shawls.
