there are areas where the resilience can outshine the royal shield. for example the resilience is the superior against pierce damage attacks, is much larger and questionably lasts longer against axe type weapons (the weapons with bonus against shields) it is these axe waves that make up the majority of the waves in NI. should it be better than the royal? i think to answer that we need to look at the other 2 house craftable shields (small dragon kite shield, studded steel shield). it would seem a tad boring if all the shields which have a similar crafting cost (all both contain 2 phoenix feathers) had the same stats. perhaps instead of a generic stat buff we could look at incorporating other buffs such as the ability for crossbowmen to use the shield or perhaps even tier 3's. these are just some ideas on the topic to add to the discussion.
