Most warriors prefer to carry a shield into battle if there is one available. The best blow is the one that misses, but the second best blow is the one that you block.
About Wooden Shield
Wooden Shield is a Shield in Conan Exiles. It deals 5 light damage, 5 heavy damage, and 8.1% armor penetration. It is a Tier 1 item.
Wooden Shield is a craftable weapon — it is produced at a crafting station rather than dropped by enemies. Tier 1 places it in the lower band of the game's weapon progression.
Its base damage of 5 ranks #87 of 87 Shield entries tracked here. It has a modest 8.1% armor penetration, 10 poise damage that helps interrupt enemies, and 500 durability before it needs repair. At 1.68 weight it is light to carry.
Carried off-hand to block and shield-bash; pair it with a one-handed weapon for a defensive bruiser build.
Verdict: Overall Wooden Shield is a lower-damage option among Shield weapons in Conan Exiles, and being craftable makes it easy to replace if it breaks.
