Replying to old post just in case anyone is actually trying to absorb the grossly incorrect info above. You know your off on the wrong foot when you're taking advice for someone who disclaimers that they don't play the frame they're giving advice on. Here's what happens if you take reinforcing instead of shrapnel for higher level enemies, the only place where this actually matters.

Option 1: You run around with no iron skin and probably die, because you need to try to get a buff from enough enemies by charging into them before you can cast a buffed iron skin.

Option 2: You cast iron skin immediately with no ironclad buff while you try to look for a buff, which you then get and can't use because your iron skin is still up, so you have to try to take enough damage for your iron skin to break before your ironclad charge buff runs out, so you can re-cast it with the bonus, hopefully not in a high enough area that they could overdamage and kill you, but also not an area low enough that it'd take them more than the length of your ironclad buff to run out before you can re cast.

OR, you could take iron shrapnel and play like this: You cast iron skin immediately and at your leasure, you charge at groups. When you have a buff big enough that you're happy with, you uncast and recast iron skin. Done. That's it.
