Title: Best shield emitter?
Post by: darkelf on November 14, 2020, 01:32:26 pm

Right now (just before DC) i have an option between Low/Low and Low/Medium shield emitter.

Low/Low - 29/86/110/143/174
Low/Medium -  27/82/121/163/206
Medium/Low - 25/78/131/183/236

So which should be better (stealthy ranged sniper/AR build)?
I don't really see that + 4/8 DT for very low/low projectiles would very help.

It really depends on your build. If you have high evasion but low dodge, I'd go low. Being able to save 4 damage on every melee attack can stack up (though I guess knives and fists are even less than that).

Otherwise, I tend to always go Medium. It might save you from a sniper rifle Aimed Shot once in a while.

As i've already said, i'm just about to enter DC. I don't remember any snipers there (some Chorists maybe, but i don't care - it is not a full base of Coretech or Protectorate anyway).
So i'm thinking about low/low.

In general, I think low/low efficent is the best.  High/high efficient is good vs stuff like snipers and plasma turrets.  Low/low amplified can help you against tough melee enemies for a short while.

'k -  a total noob on sheilds. Would a Low\High or High\low  work too?

I suppose it would be the same as a medium shield if bot components are of the same quality.

I always go low/low, there aren't that many snipers out there.
