Socketing the Vengeance Shield? Need Help

I’m very tempted to socket the [url="http://www.bigfatego.com/graphics/misc/vengeance-shield.jpg"]Vengeance Shield[/url] with the [url="http://www.gamebanshee.com/cgi-bin/search/banshee_search.pl?_layout=TitanQuest_Items_Page&_cgifunction=search&TitanQuest_Items.id=944"]Incarnation of Archimedes’ Mirror[/url] relic (15% Chance of 50% Damage Reflected Completed Relic Bonus: Random Effect). It is the legendary version of the relic. I suppose I want to know what you guys think. Is there something better to hold out for? It seems pretty good to me.

Eeep....No one can help me here? Please just tell me to socket this thing :) I really want to but just want some input before I do up this shield.

That all depends on if he's anywhere close to rhodes right now.

I'd say go for it, the 15% chance of 50% damage reflected isn't all that good, but the random bonuses usually are, especially for that of a legendary relic.

I just couldn't hold out any longer. I socketed it. I think it works ok so far. Thanks for the feedback guys.

And if worse comes to worse, you can easily unsocket it for a small price at an enchanter (the guy with the lightning bolt above his head). You won't get the relic back with it, but at least you'll be able to socket the shield again if you find something better.
