I will only vote yes for Corporeal beast if the spirit shields will be tuned down to a reasonable level, still being best in slot, but only by a margin. Their drop rate should also be increased if they are nerfed slightly.
Other drops could include some kind of mage gloves (better than infinity gloves) and maybe something in the amulet slot, but Fury should still remain as a "very good" amulet, meaning the new amulet could be very slightly better or a variable to amulet of fury.
Boss mechanics I would love to see would be the black revenant that Corp beast used to summon (to devour summoning familiars), instead it would appear from the side lurking and would deal a quick strike after a brief warning. Something to keep an eye on while fighting and making the fight interactive and challenging. Corp beasts attacks could be very slightly nerfed to make up for the revenant attacks.
If however, Corporeal beast would be polled with the 2008 spirit shields without a balance, I will have to vote no.
