I tend to say GoS is for wimps The top warriors in the game are all in voln. You start getting wounded enough to matter and most of the time it is going to be time to leave even if you are in GoS because you can't spam restoration like those of us in voln to keep up with the blood loss. For good crowd control you won't beat symbol of sleep either. Voln also has transcendence for hairy situations which can be better then any padding and used more often then sigil of escape.
