I have a Moon Mage with 70s/80s in defense and weapons; however, shield is only at 51. What rank should I get shield to before I take on Rock Trolls?

With 51 shield, you probably would be better off hunting the bone wolves in Leth. You might be able to get away with 51 shield in rockies, but it has been a while since I hunted them because they didn't gen well most of the time.

I'll second sprites. Unless you're physically required to stay in Zoluren, sprites are the hands down best option 50-100. Even survival terts can take the skinning bite with new arrange mechanics (all my characters are terts (mutter) and they do fine).

Trolls hit hard, wear armor, use weapons, have massive vit, and don't swarm. That's all stuff you want to avoid at all costs in DR2, though possibly not in DR3.
