Are damage perks on shields useful?

Shields are not marked with a damage number. Damage done by a shield whether bashing or throwing is minimal, even with Perks such as Elite Damage and Criticals. Shields can have an Element Type like Ice which can freeze an enemy when bashed or thrown. Element types do not appear on shield stats, but can be visually identified by its colorization, as:

Shield with Fire Element

Shield with Ice Element

Shield with Poison Elementt

Shield with no element

How do I acquire EXO Points/EXO Perks

EXO Points are given at the end of Crystal Hunt missions. You can spend EXO Points on EXO Perks which will give your EXO Suit buffs, like speed, dodging, and critical hits. For more information, see the how-to on the Crystal Hunt mission page.

What are the best EXO Perks

It depends on your play style, locomotion and fears. Consider Haste for legs (if you are using continuous motion), consider Stillness (if you are using Blink or Teleport). Vitality for chest if you use continuous locomotion, but Blast is also considered a life-saver. For Mind also consider Mystify and the Arm slot should be assigned damage-increasing perks depending on your weapon.
