I love that shield, and use it throughout the whole game.

Equip one of your front characters, then walk them alone into range of an archer ambush - just watch the archers kill themselves! It is better on a character who doesn't have a particularly good armour class, because more arrows will 'hit' and be deflected.

I thought the tip about using it for a dual/multi class mage to prevent their spells being disrupted by missiles was inspired - I'll try that next time!
