A +5 kite shield with rElec would already be a great find. With extra retaliation damage that few monsters resist, the Storm Queen's shield is a fairly strong unrand. A good item for any shield-using character, though some characters may prefer a highly enchanted [[tower shield]] instead.

A disc of crackling metal, created by a woman whose cunning artifice and crafty politics once united a continent.

Desirability

The Storm Queen's shield[3], as just a +5 kite shield of rElec, would already be a great find for many characters. The extra retaliation damage - which few monsters resist - only makes it better. A good item for any shield-using character, though some may prefer a highly enchanted tower shield instead.
