Holy Fortress is great for stopping magick attacks. Your shield already does this, but it's nice in that it mitigates much of the impact from a lot of elemental attacks. For example, I once took 8 or 9 direct shots in rapid succession from a Hellhound pack's fireballs before my footing even began to become an issue. An unenchanted or otherwise enchanted magick shield will not yield the same effect. Using Holy Fortress in conjunction with Periphery can make it near impossible for any spell caster to knock you off of your feet.

Use both in conjunction with a couple ruinous sigils, and you will legitemately be a fortress for your pawns. I'm running as a MK currently, with three striker type classes (my fighter pawn, my GF's fighter pawn, and my brother's ranger pawn). Using the "GO" command while I set up a good foothold, and using the "COME" command to retreat back to it has proven useful. Holy Fortress has taken it to that other level.

Solo I'd use Holy Aid indefinitely for no other reason than I wouldn't need to bog down my inventory weight/mobility with a bunch of healing items (mobility being one of the MK's weak points if you aren't one to use Burst/Blitz Strike and Sky Rapture to make a hastey retreat from sticky situations).
