Some concerns I have regarding shields.
1. Shields protect you from getting knocked back from destructive touch and it's morphs.
2. Light Attacking a shield doesn't grant the ult gen buff.
3. Shields prevent certain abilities from working such as the new "Grim Focus" the light attacks do NOT count if they have a shield up. Also negates Siphoning strike and it's morphs and a variety of other abilities.
I think these issues should be addressed, shields are way too powerful and are even preventing certain CC's/Abilities from working.

Shields are def. bugged in 1.6.1 in their current state. Anything light attack wise should be addressed in the upcoming 1.6.2 patch.
I read in another thread Zeni acknowledged #2 and it will be fixed on the PTS.. hopefully PTSers will let us know if that turns out true. Which may or may not mean it'll be that way on live. :-)
They have a big patch of issues to fix before releasing 1.6 . I believe their aware of the light attack bug . They intentionally made shield stacking more powerful . I don't understand why yet but the explanation was that AOE's are Blockable now and more defense was needed . Or something to that effect .

If you hold block in big fights you lose all of your stamina from being able to block more attacks. So they made shield stacking more important to give LA wearers a better chance of survival since 1 stam attack in most cases can negate 1 shield.

By stacking buffs you can get 8-10k surprise attack. Ask to liberatePrincess_Asgari wrote: »They have a big patch of issues to fix before releasing 1.6 .

I'd like to know what stam attack you're talking about, as it takes atleast 3 Surprise Attacks to get rid of one shield. Even Soul Harvest (ultimate) doesn't destroy a shield in one hit.
I guess you didnt try those class... a melee stamina can get enough burst, but as magicka NB melee, I rarely go through sorc's shield (good sorcs I mean, Derra, Brad Critt or Elodryel, I never found youezareth_ESO wrote: »I don't agree with this at all. I can duel on live for 30+ minutes with any good BoL sorc. In PTS most dueling sorcs use BoL now and thus sorc vs sorc duels are typically endless. The skill level of the players on pts right now is very high compared to the general populace.
Fight a good Templar or DK or NB and they'll cut through your shields as fast as you can stack them almost. Once your shields are down and you're stunned from being run OOS you're dead.

If you want to kill annoying mages get the right setup.
If you're looking for easy prey go for deary deers. oh wait...
only if the dot is no bleed.xsorusb14_ESO wrote: »They also prevent dots from ticking as well, which seems silly.

Sorry for the noob question, but my Sorc is still a lowbie: what is BoL?

Ball of Lightening. It's a morph in the sorc storm caster line.

It's not the shield but the blocking mechanic that's broken and with all the new stuff your able to block in 1.6 it's gonna be even more broken cause all the new skills and skill tweeks won't do anything cause blocking stops them. Also to add a cherry on top of the sunday that is about how broken block is you can still block cast.
