Unfortunately, "'''Bullseye'''" is a fairly useless artefact. While it provides unparalleled amounts of SH, rendering fights against single melee opponents much safer, the skill necessary to wield large shields effectively renders them undesirable to most characters. -5 EV is also a very painful handicap, more than outweighing the shield's benefits as soon as you're facing more than one opponent at a time. Finally, using it prevents you from wearing a shield with a useful [[ego]], like [[resistance]]. It's difficult to imagine a situation in which "Bullseye" would be more desirable than simply wielding a 2-handed weapon.

Desirability

Unfortunately, "Bullseye" is a fairly useless shield. If you're looking for more SH in exchange for EV, then you should probably just upgrade to a large shield. Only kobolds and halflings might consider wearing this, and even they probably wouldn't: the SH increase is really not worth the EV penalty, especially considering that plenty of non-artefact shields offer useful resistances.

History

In earlier versions, Bullseye used to be a buckler.

Bullseye was removed in 0.14.
