    I think what happened with the ruin sentinel shield is that the hand pushing forward to place a Lingering Flame land mine counts as an attack animation for the purposes of projectile deflection. you can do this with firebombs thrown by hollows too, I've done it on accident (I don't know the precise rules to do so), and thus because you were in the process of laying a land mine, your "attack" knocked the shield projectile away, into the floor. hilarious.

    plus ,no, you don't need adp, you need agility.
    And because you are a spell caster, you can raise your adp by levling attunement : with 75 attunement, you have basically the max i-frames and incantation speed, plus a lot more "ammos" :)
    that's why my best advice is to play NG1 as a pyromancer, leveling attunement and int first, then in ng2 go for a darkness build, lving faith and dex only for base stats, and strength for the crypt blacksword. bravo, your basically OP.
