I haven't fought any NMs yet but have been using scutum for everything which is basically just tanking in SP/Leve parties. What situations would make hoplon preferable to the higher block rate and higher defense of scutum? And are there any situations that a kite shield would be optimal?
As the game is currently designed, it doesn't really matter. A lot of times, your best bet is to just a shield with a long wield rate and pop Aegis II, Outmaneuver, and Deflection over and over.
