Poll Question: You've got 4 great skills already, now what is your next choice?
We've got past the early game and have picked a pretty dreamy set of secondary skills - Logistics, Earth, Air and Wisdom. From here on begins the mid game. Even with such unbelievable luck for being able to choose those 4 ground-breaking secondaries, the match is far from over because, well, let's say your opponent played very well and got a really good start; while you're somewhat handicapped.
And your main hero is level up right now with 2 new choices...

picked Armorer just because I'm a defensive freak, even though I don't need armorer / offense against the dumb AI, but... when you're a freak it's hard to change

Guess I'll go with Offense this time, I prefer to attack instead of being attacked.

As for me there is no clear answer it all depends of such things as city, creatures, even hero on its own.
EXAMPLE: There is no need for tactics if your army is just bunch of dragons and angels, but if you own Stronghold that makes sense.
Since im playing mostly my own maps 1vs7 200% my goal most of the time would be armorer. I don't understand why most of us took other skills as higher priority than armorer. I could understand logistic and earth magic but wisdom ?

If I had Archangels, clone and Water surely I would prefer Intelligence to Armorer. Also, playing against AI and if you don't have Shackles, to lose units you can recover with spellpoints is a good trick to make them remain in battle until it's too late.

If your army is a bunch of dragons & angels even before the mid game, then any 2ndaries don't matter.

Sometimes I think if all other things are equal, then Armorer = Offense + Archery. It's just a guess, I'm happy if someone can point me to a source or a correction.

Thank you so much! Yes I was wanting to compare them. The simple line of thinking was that, because Armorer affects all troops while Offense only affect melees and Archery only shooters, the former is better. But they actually have different % increased per Basic, Advanced or Expert levels.
The link is very neat. I wonder whether the Air shield & Armorer's arrow tower "bug" is fixed in HotA or not. Dargem is quite a good hero for Cove, but maybe he's not suitable to siege at all?

Dargem is good hero. He has Tactics and Air Shield, so you can secure Pirates and Witches from being hit by flying units of enemy. If you learn Ballistics and Expert Air, you can mass Air Shield before Arrow Towers.

Nope, Arrow Towers always shoots first regardless if you have Ballistics or not. Part of the reason why Ballistics sucks.

Maybe you didn't read the linked post, but Air shield seems to increase the damage (a bug). But towers shoot 1st, as phoenix pointed out anyway.

@longtry I can't remember if it's HD Mod or HotA, but one of them fixed the Armorer/Air Shield bug.

Er... doesn't HotA include HD?
BTW, look at the poll result till now. It's a tie! This defense-attack competition is like a battle between an unmovable object and an unstoppable force

Nope, they're separate mods / expansions.
