Some bosses do damage based on % of health. In that case the earth shield is good especially versus thunder damage. There was a glitch that made it op that is now fixed. %HP damage attacks were using the HP of the earth shield for the calculation. The shield also stacks with mitigators like darvan if you need even more protection. It isnt useless.
