It raises MR, doesn't it? Or do I remember wrong?

Yes, it does, but Lucky Coin and Charcoal Shield and the like have at least as powerful abilities, but higher final parry values AND lower encumberance.

It depends on situation. There're not too many common items that raise MR and in some cases this may be crucial.
Charcoal shield is much harder to forge, btw.

The Lucky Coin too. The Lead Shield is available soon in the game and is cheap.

I really don't think that lead shield may be useful for anything but MR-heavy SC's and MR is a mid-late game issue usually. So normally you won't make a Lead shield early in the game and thus in doesn't matter whether it is Const2, 4 or even 6. I think that it would be fine if it had better stats and was Const4 or 6.

I put a lead shield and a awe shield on an air queen to combine with another air queen setup to do shimmering fields. It was quite nice against R'yleh since I needed an *** ton of MR.

I use lead shields on banelords when i am fighting races that have a lot of s mages.

It gives MR, and is cheap. There is no other stats that matters. It's balanced as is.
