Shield stats, which is better?

[Bobo]

Most of  time I see these shields are when some like me that has not much cash buys/makes a eg( Swadian Resilience witch I did so that if thay have a zwi and a rg that they can use it on both

By that way on zwi I could shield hard/rag with small help and like 4 shields

Thanks, Woodz, to come with more general remark on being able to use one shield across different infantry characters. Conclusion is: get a good shield usable by commando if you want to use it on different infantry heroes. It is also easy to sell (if you decide to change it one day) as many player can use it.

On contrary, if your intention is to be RG only, Aegis is probably most obvious choice.

The general rule is 100 HP is slightly better than 2 HP in general resistance.  Of course more resistance is more useful against enemies with swords, and higher HP is more useful against enemies with hammers and spears.(...)

Yeah, Winter, that is a helpful one. I just have the same problem at the moment, which one of the Commando available shields to choose for my Legionnaire.

Concerning the damage shields get from different types of weapons, could someone throw in some details? Ofc we all know 2H axes are shield breakers but what is precisely the influence on the choice of resistance vs hit points (beside what Winter mentioned above 100 vs 2)? Should it be understood SSSS with 50/1200 lasts longer than Resilience with 41/1500 (300 hit points equal to 6-7 resistance)? Or are there any more factors to consider?

PS. Looks to me this thread may become pretty helpuf for new players if we dig the matter deep enough...
