Hi, hopefully somebody still reads this forum. As it happens sometime I'm again back on my ps3 to play sacred 2 and this time I want to try the drayd. I'm unsure about the defensive skill to choose before armor more. I think I'll be using the shield with damage reduction or stalwart but even so I'm wondering is shield lore is worth it. Ancient bark nodded for reflection makes block far less useful, even more when I'll reach high levels and reflecting more attacks and about the defense bonus, I'll take the armor mod on ancient bark so I doubt I'll get enough defence to make shield lore worth. On the other had combat reflexes would help me avoid some arrow and crit. I' m more for combat reflexes but knowing I'll be using a shield all the time and the fact I must stay always rooted on a point otherwise enemies keep following me and while they run my scorpion takes more to kill them, in the end I'll be always in melee range of the enemy. What would you choose? Shield lore or combat reflexes? Either one is gonna be at 75 and I'm not taking constitution son only armor lore and shield lore/combat reflexes.
