    Not worth getting all 3 at the start, I went with Earth and water for the mana regen at the start. When you start to get higher lvl magical mobs become more and more abundant and the shields are a must.

    Fire shield is only useful if you are fighting fire magic mobs. The hp regeneration is not really worth it in my opinion.
    Water shield helps against water magic mobs and the mp regeneration helps because you will be using a lot of mp. Unfourtunatly it is affected by the 75% reduction in combat.
    Earth shield like the other ones helps against its element and the physical resistance helps a lot. Physical resistance is always a problem with robes
    I would upgrade Glacial Embrace(water) for the mp and Stone Barrier(earth) depending on how good you are at keeping your opponent at a distance.

    I find all 3 sheilds to be useful - mine are completely maxed out now, and I couldn't be more happier.

    Glacial Embrace/ Pyroshell actually do save you money (cut down, but does not, unfortunately, elimanate the need for HP and MP pots) in the long run, and Stone Barrier is, in my honest opinion, essential for survival - even if the little bit of phys def doesn't seem to help, it really does. I was able to tank the boss in fb29 at level 35 with help from a decent cleric because I kept up with my sheilds, and I can survive explosions even though I have almost nothing in HP.
