Obviously useful for PvP Elemental shamans. Not too bad for warriors either for when they get focus fired in 5v5. 18 stamina would only add to max (not current) health, whereas the 12 resilience kick in as soon as you swap to 1h + shield, adding some protection against burst damage.

This enchant will be trainable from trainers in the 2.3 patch. Enchanting skill 330 is needed to learn it.
They are fairly even. 12 resilience vs 18 stamina is the same 2:3 ratio of a +8 resilience gem vs a +12 stamina gem.
Tooltip
Permanently enchant a shield to increase armor by $ec1. Cannot be applied to items higher than level $ecix.

Enchanting:
* Enchant Shield - Resilience now requires a Runed Fel Iron Rod instead of a Runed Adamantite Rod. "
- http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/patchnotes/test-realm-patchnotes.html(edit - supposed to me in reply to hardok and Xale)
the enchant has been changed. it now requires a runed fel iron rod :)
Same deal for Enhancement. We're usually switching a shield on in the middle of a fight, whether it's from focus fire, a stun-heavy rogue or to buy our healer a few extra seconds. A shield macro can really make the difference in surviving a match. The 12 resilience is lot more valuable than the stamina since we don't generally start matches with a shield on.
I'm honestly looking to get this done on my holy paladin who was at 249 resilience before the patch, but is down to 214 now (no more 2x 35 resil bonus). 12 int vs. 12 res... well, I have seal/judgement of wisdom and blessing of wisdom to regen mana, but I can't regen mana if I'm dead, eh?
This enchant is still a green skill at 360 enchanting.
I performed the enchant last night (feb 2008) and used a runed fel iron rod.
This is widely suggested as a way to skill-up Enchanting from 335-340 as the cheapest method. Because of this, you will often see scrolls flooding the market for less than a gold as everyone scrambles to recover just a little bit of their investment.
All depends on which you need more. If you're sitting at 12k health and 200 resil, go for this enchant. If you're at 8k health and 500 resil, get the hp.
This recipe is taught by Johan Barnes in Honor Hold.
Also the Enchanting Trainer in Scryer tier, and obviously the alliance counterpart of Barnes in Honor Hold
trainable from trainers, eh?
Is this better than 18stam for arena for a paladin? Does anybody know the math?
Enchanters: Learn this recipe from your Grand Master Trainer.
This can be learned at 335 enchanting, but it requires a Runed Adamantite Rod to enchant which is not learned until 350.......O.o
Does not seem correct. Checking ingame it is still requiring Runed Adamantite Rod. (PTR may be different however?)
Contrary to those test realm patchnotes, in-game it requires a Runed Adamantite Rod, it says so in the tradeskill window, and I am unable to do the enchant without it. The funny thing is that the Runed Adamantite Rod (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=22462) requires Enchanting 350, making this recipe pretty much useless untill then.
I just go a shield for my lvl 29 twink, its a lvl 41 item.
i was thinkin of puting resilience on it. Should i?
Or get +18 stam
Is there anyone that has this on their 29 twink's Marbled Buckler shield? (Not really sure if it matters on what class, but in my case, a pally). I'm just wondering how much of crit and crit chance reduction this does for a 29 twink.
Thanks,

This is a nice enchant my resto shaman now has 400 resil!! w00t!!
