Hello everyone,
I am looking for feedback about defense layers on top of energy shield.
Right now, as a Low-Life Occultist that stays on the top part of the tree, multiple option are available:
- Armor (Determination)
- Divine Shield
- Molten Shell
- Evasion (Grace)
- Ghost Shroud
- Spell Block (easily available on top part of the tree)
Attack Block and Spell suppression seems too scarcely available to be viable option.
Do you have deploy any other successful means of defense?
For a bit of context, I am playing a Wintertide brand Low-Life occultist, lvl 90, just hit T13 with 7K ES and max spell block. Outisde of shavronne, my gear is pretty crappy and I have a lot of room for improvement but I am at a turning point in terms of defense choice. I am torn between switching to aura stacking with Prism Guardian; losing spell block, but gaining a good chunk of armor ; or sticking to spell block, wich should allow a higher ES pool by using a better ES shield (+ top left ES increase on shield)
I am welcoming any experience or feedback about ES in scourge!
Thanks in advance
I know aftermarket mags are a polarizing subject but for those of you using shield arms S15 mags defensively, what ammo have you cycled reliably?
I've only tried 1 mag of Hornady critical defense 147 gr and 1 mag of federal HST 124 gr and they seem fine so far.
Again, to keep this somewhat on track, I'm not looking for reasons to not use aftermarket mags
In many games it feels like if every player doesn't buy grievous wounds or serpents fang you are at a huge disadvantage.
Grievous has a defensive option (bramble) and 2 offensive options (exec and oblivion - which turn into 3 items)
But the only anti-shield item is serpents fang. Sure you could buy it on an AP champ but boy is that a waste of gold.
Would it just be way too strong on a defensive item? or even an AP item?
I'm not going to pretend I know anything about game development or balancing so I was curious if there was an answer to this or it was simply a limited option and strategic decision to buy SF.
Hi, all!
I am both a returned Peace Corps volunteer (Country X in Asia) and a returned TLG (Teach and Learn in Georgia) volunteer. I decided for whatever reason to spend my most profitable years making absolutely no money whatsoever. Given the sort of life I was living, it is a wonder that my liver made it back home in one piece; by now, it belongs pickled in a jar somewhere. It belongs in a museum.
It's been a while since I've checked up on the organization. What is TLG's current status in Georgia, if it can still be said to have one? Does it still exist? Is it still around? Has it been replaced by the Peace Corps? Or did the Peace Corps ever return to Georgia? (I seem to recall that the Corps jumped ship after Putin pulled his bullshit in 2008.)
A more general question for Georgians and TLG volunteers: what sort of impact do you feel that TLG has had on Georgian life? Has it made any tangible contributions? Has it changed education in Georgia for the better? Do any of the Georgians here at /r/Sarkartvelo recall having a meaningful (or messed-up) experience with a TLG volunteer -- or a Peace Corps volunteer, for that matter? What sort of reputation (if any) does TLG boast today? Have the cultural exchanges and the educational benefits proven worthwhile or -- given the sheer number of hard-drinking young people involved in the project -- has TLG proven to be more trouble than it was worth?
During my time in country, I saw the absolute best and the absolute worst of TLG and its couple hundred volunteers. Living with my pressure cooker of a host family, stashed way up in the foothills of a glacier where no one could find me, I also got to see the best and worst of myself. From my foggy but sober perspective sitting here in 2022 AD, I believe that, in spite of much misbehavior, a tremendous amount of good was done back then; friendships were forged and experiences were shared that left an indelible mark on the lives of the Georgians I got to know and came to love, not to mention the lives of the volunteers they so patiently and graciously hosted -- but there were also afterhours incidents so disgusting and embarrassing and outrageous and disrespectful that I still lose sleep over them all these years later.
Hard as it is for me to believe, it has now been almost a decade since I returned home from Georgia. I spent a full calendar year there, teaching ααααs and ααααs in its northwestern villages. At that age and at that specific juncture in my life, I w
