Why would I let myself get hit to begin with?

Also if you're concerned about being destroyed by enough damage to punch through your 20k+ shield and your 15k+ hp, what are the other 3 classes that don't effectively have 35k hp supposed to do? Roll over and die to constant one shots?
I do somewhat see your point but you're trying to push a sorc agenda for the effects you describe that should be hitting all classes. You're not providing any suggestions to help out the other 3 classes at all when your problem should effect them all.

I cant wait to see where this goes next.
With the recent developments in pvp and pve, I believe us sorcs need a *slight*adjustment in our shields. with bosses hitting for 34k (past the threshold of 99% of sorcs ward), and pvp players hitting for 14+k Wrecking blows in pvp (which is the average sorcs shields +3k) and the coming Darkflare madness of 22k+ hits in pvp we need a slight adjustment...which is somewhat fair since we're going to be getting dots on our shields and we already have an entire set built to go right past them...
Before the rage machine starts let me say this: sorcs have 1 shield the rest of you don't have access too. and most of you have plenty of other defenses, mitigation techniques, and your *own* form of shields...
But in past metas we got a shield strong enough to repel 1 strong attack, and 2-3 lesser attacks. If we *don't* see an adjustment to our shield values we'll be relegated to our shields taking half of a strong attack, and our pve tanking abilities are being hampered as well by the absolutely *beast mode* hits even the smallest daedra can push out.
This won't hold of sorcs if we don't receive attention like this... instead of one shield most sorcs use now, we'll see alot more shield stacking and resto staves to compensate for this weakness...which would only make fighting sorcs worse (believe me on this plz) in pvp, and more sorc exclusivity in pve because if we're all running resto staves....why do we need a templar?
in other words... not giving a small buff to ward at this point , will make the next patches sorcs adapt...and that adaption won't benefit anyone.

Dude, stack more shields - last night I did 80K damage in less than 10 seconds to a sorc and never touched his health. This is a L2P issue, sorcs need no more shields.....

And that person wasn't running just 1 ward where they? they where running multiple because WARD was not strong enough to mitigate 1 attack. so they where "adapting".... x.x oddly enough... This is exactly what im trying to say is going to happen in the vast majority of sorcs if things go like this. You *think* your pointing out a issue that disproves my fortelling of the future so you can be part of the mob...but reality, you encountered another one of the sorc converts to this play style x.x

That act of"compensating" will be game changing. and I believe it will be wholy negative for players playing any other class.

Yeah, but smarty pantz, they're not going to remove the other shields from the game or bar Sorc's from using them are they? Which means, if they give you precious sorcs more powerful shields you'll be able to run around untouchable if you so desire.
Again, L2P. You can't have it all mate, stack more shields at the expense of having ya crystal frags or learn to roll dodge, choice is yours bruh
