    well.. i believe shout would be better. when playing in parties it would not only benefit you like ironskin + i think it gives more defense.. not sure though.
    u can start dumping into ironskin when all your other skills(including shout) are maxed.
    hope it helps

    If you could afford to max both that would give you a ton of defence. But a high level shout combined with a low level iron skin will give you a better boost than a high level iron skin with a low-level shout.

    past one point in each, both give you the same amount of defense per level. the benefits of shout are 1) it helps your party, and 2) each point also gives a greater duration to shout, bo, and battle command. since the they give you the same def per point invested, and since shout has these two benefits over iron skin, it is better to put points into shout.

    Likewise, each point of shout gives +10% damage to berserk, which you need a point of anyways.

    Besides:

    level 20 ironskin = 220%
    level 20 shout = 290%

    Might as well get your extra 70%.

    Well after 1 point in both it doesn't matter which one you max for the defense boost itself. As both skills get 10% def per lvl. The only 2 advantages of maxing shout over ironskin is more duration for BO and Bcommand , and that your party will benefit from it too.

    True, but it's still better to have 1 point in iron and a longer duration for shout, than 20 in skin and a short-duration shout

    I was more referring to the 70% extra defense.

    The key here is that if you're going for defense, you have at least 1 point in iron skin.
