The difference between Aerin shield and Crown shield is less than 1% defense (on max rolls). If you decide to go 1 point Stormlord you might find yourself with insufficent Dex to wear Crown shield. Heraldic/Aerin shields only require Str that is also used to put the rest of gear on. Other than that its no big difference. I also like how Heraldic/Aerin shields look on the character much more than Crown shields.

It barely beats just using 2% Fire Spell Damage MO's. Don't count on these procs to shave time off your clear time either. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demon_core story behind the name.
