Hey, was wondering if anyone has Defensive Spikes and wondering if the skill was even worth getting I only need a book cover and bindings, but if it's not good what's the point in looking for these items.Thanks

I finally got the skill after hours of grinding pre-patch and after patch.
Currently I'm lvl 112 with max out skill at 25/25 and the possible damage are 92.
It is a cool skill to have and awesome animation also.
Is it really worth it?
For skill fashion wise.. We win.
For the damage wise.. Meh
This skill also stack with cloak of fire (only if you are in group to cast on others) and could be handy for bosses but it is not going to make a huge differnt between using this skill or not.
No need to rely on this skill to level because bolas still do the job. I'm too lazy to use bolas and run around so I do use defensive spikes.
Overall rating - Adverage.

questions:
i have 3 skill points into it and a plus 4 ring (7 skill points). The skill listing does not change regardless of whether my ring is equipped - it just says 12 dmg.
i do notice a modest increase in damage when the ring is on. but when i am fighting trees, it seems to only do 10-13 pts of damage - pretty low for 7 skill points i think. I am wondering if my ring is actually working?
would you recommend moving skill points from steady aim (which increases dmg) to defensive spikes? i dont want to take anything from bolas, sharp, heal, or rapid.
thanks for your thoughts

Okay I really gave up sharp shot after update, barbed shot is GREAT, rapid shot is GREAT and bolas u can't go wrong maxed. Entangle is okay I gave up on it bc it didn't work properly for me, conceal is amazing, maxed it. Now I have put all my SS skills in DS and I'm gettin 30-60 damage killin eyes and trees.

I think it's a lot better than barbed shot. It does a lot more damage so I'd take the points outa barbed shot

I think sharp shot is better than barbed shot because barbed shot only does 3 hits per use. try adding it to sharp shot. If ur auto attack sometimes goes higher than your sharp shot then your dex is too low. try adding dex to make skills more better.
