So I accidentally wasted some sp on Mountain Shield. My question is should I get rid of it with heart's quest? Is the 10% BR increase any good? I already have Ironwall Shield lvl 3 so 505 def increase is nice.

I've been testing but the dmg has been VERY random. With Ironwall Shield on, which says it only increases phy def, it seems like I take both MORE dmg and sometimes LESS dmg when it is on.

With MT Shield's 10% BR increase, I see LESS blocks. WTF

So i'm a pure int. Someone with exp with this series, Should I keep the 10% BR and use it on pure ints, or just stick with the ironwall shield and it's extra def and delvl mt shield.

10% br increase is nothing.
like br 1 increase.

Probably not worth it, but it still wouldn't hurt. Max the series, use the BR buffs while fighting ints, PHY def on str based oppenets.

Maxed, at level 88, Giant Shield gives 38% extra BR. It MIGHT be useful, but only when maxed.

Consider the average BR 16 shield:
16 * (38/100) ~ 6. Thus, it turns a BR 16 shield into a BR 22 one, for 15 seconds.

Consider now SoSun BR 21 shield:
21 * (38/100) = 7,91. BR 21 becomes BR 29.

Don't know what to say, it might be useful when maxed, against INT, but only if you have the required SP. Also, as far as I know, using one of the shield series applies the cooldown to all of them. That's how it was at 80 cap anyways, I don't know, things might have changed now.

I think that the series actually adds br according to the percentage.

eg. a 15 br shield with mountain shield lvl 1(10%) = 15 br + 10 physical br for 15 seconds.
25% to block a physical attack but a normal 15% chance to block a magical attack

I saw a high level using the last book for that series and he was blocking more shot than the person was hitting.

Look at the shield passive. At lvl 8 it adds 9% br. Why would they make such a useless passive? for a 20 br shield only 2 br would be added so its a very much useless passive at the lower levels.

Thats what my guess is.
