someone on tic tock has "highest AC at level 1" and has it in the upper 20's by being a tortol caster with shieldI think shield is fine when it’s used to protect that warlock, sorcerer or wizard. With AC 15.
I think it gets silly when that low level Paladin (or fighter or bladesinger) with a level of arcane caster uses it’s already high AC from full plate, a shield and shield of faith, etc to get it to 27 on the unlikely event someone gets through AC22.
he says it best at the end "NPC wont be able to hit you, but your DM may want to"
