I am an 80 rog on AB and I have had my eye on the Shank for quite some time. Some friends and I decided to camp this badboy starting one day last week. I would say that we have easily spent 30 hours at this camp and have gotten 2 Elders and 2 squires, and neither of the squires has dropped the dagger. I am not sure why, but have easily seen 10 earth squires to every 1 air. I am not sure if this is intentional or if we just have really bad luck, but it sucks. =/
Edit: Was in air for almost 7 hours today and saw 1 squire....he dropped 2 shanks. So, after 40+ hours of camping, there is now a happy rog and happy bard on AB. Thanks Bongo =)
Like Smooth Dwerium Shield with a slot 3, slightly better hp/mana... Actually LESS AC (87) vs 95 on the Dwerium shield. Either the Dwerium will eventaully get nerfed to 85 or Tectoran will get bumped to 97 (someday).
The Condensed Plate Cloak is the lesser version...your comparing a sheild to a cloak...apples to oranges. On a side note had both cloaks drop on same kill tonight, I won the lesser...=\
