    Which is better a +9 shield defense perk or a +100 shield hit points perk? In general is Shield defense better or Extra Hit points? I would love to know the reasoning behind your answer too. Thanks!

    Generally the extra hp is preferable.
    Doing the maths, if you used the defence points, you’d need to receive about 11 shots for the damage you save using defence to be equal to the extra hp (9hp*11shots=99 damage).
    Usually though, if you get hit 11 times, you’re dead, so people go for the hp.

    Side note on defense, it works well to reduce damage against low power weapons and those with multiple projectiles. Namely standard cannon, carronade, missles.

    @YerJokinArnYer is correct with the numbers. Defense is mostly useless. What difference will 100 defense points (Defender max) going to make when you are getting hit for 1500+ every shot?

    Also, it doesn't work on fire.
