Any opinions on Spike Shield on melee?

My thinking is that since wind spike shield applies the debuff, which makes enemies take more electric damage, then it would increase my weapons electric strike damage. Also the 10% miss chance debuff would be nice.
+ some resists?

Does spike shield give elemental proficiency every round if I have Protection spell on autocast? This could be a nice qol thing for me.

Since I have high evasion it won't proc as much? And since I stun a lot as well, that leaves me with even less procs.

The effect of a spike shield is miniscule at best outside of The Tower. The elemental resistance matters, to an extent, but the Status Effect is...barely noticeable. I, personally, prefer the Deep Burns one. The elemental strike damage increase is diminutive and you do not really care about it as much, since you prefer Holy/Dark strike against Schoolgirls regardless of the day of the week bonus and the type of strike is barely relevant in non-schoolgirls arenas.

Yeah, I agree the Deep Burns one is better. That's the one I wanted at first, but I happen to be getting a weapon with electric stike. But yeah probably better to spend those APs elsewhere.
