    Shields should be changed..either they shouldn't stack...or they need to be crittable.

    yeah and every magic range dmg dealer has its entire dmg nearly nullified by perma blocking stamuser...

    It's not possible to perma block in 1.6 - the stamina cost is way too high. But nice try, though.

    Why is there no way for us to be effective/stay alive without spamming shields as a non stam build?

    There is, its called Heavy Armor, and you can actually run it and be tanky with Magicka

    Problem is....Heavy Armor is woeful in comparison to Shields..which trump everything in the game.

    So by your logic light armor should not be vaible at all bc to stay alive you need heavy armor magica or medium stamina builds. NICE!

    So you are implying that DKs are OP. You also go to threads discussing sorcs and say they are OP. Everyone complains about templars being over the top with Radiant Destruction.

    Let me guess, you play a nightblade and want some of this OP-love?

    You mean the dodge roll that multiple abilities the Sorc and Templar have that go through it? hell just having 1 or 2 Templars means you're not going to survive very long...Not to mention you can't damage people at the same time you're dodge rolling.

    So I'm starting to wonder if your issue with Sorc abilities stems from a dire hatred of the "Streak" morph. Lucky for you, most Sorcs don't use that morph these days, so once you lock them with a Wrecking Blow and they drain enough magicka and stamina trying to get away, you'll tear through them easily.

    Sure, I'll try to record some encounters with stam builds for you. Luckily for me, I do use streak, and I'm a good player, so I'm not the easy-kill sorc that all the stam builds are looking for, but the fights are always interesting.

    But seriously, if you're not able to take out an average Sorc, then idk what to tell you.

    You must not of actually played in Medium Armor lately...You either kill really fast with it, or you die...and that's in 1v1's...2v1 you better hope your opponents are really bad...

    5 Sorcs could all do crushing shock twice and instantly drain any Templars stamina to nothing.

    I mean....there is virtually zero way for him to perma block 5 sorcs.

    Hell even 2 sorcs would be impossible to Perma Block against.

    I was kiting him for quite awhile, my friends eventually showed up, I could do absolutely no damage to him. It literally took all of us to take him out.

    No difference here than wit templars and dks should they choose to spec into it.

    Both have access to multiple absorbers that scale off HEALTH, AND BOTH HAVE CLASS ABSORBERS that hit u back Upon activation or expiration.

    It may be that perhaps those classes don't NEED TO USE absorbers as they are more well rounded Than the sorcerer.

    The sorcerer is forced to use his absorber to survive, as he has poor class mechanics to contribute otherwise.

    Ive seen stam builds survive WAY longer vs 5-10 people then a mag build could ever do. Dodge vs Shieldspam...its the same thing just different name.

    You mean the dodge roll that multiple abilities the Sorc and Templar have that go through it? hell just having 1 or 2 Templars means you're not going to survive very long...Not to mention you can't damage people at the same time you're dodge rolling.

    Fail Comparison is Fail

    So I'm starting to wonder if your issue with Sorc abilities stems from a dire hatred of the "Streak" morph. Lucky for you, most Sorcs don't use that morph these days, so once you lock them with a Wrecking Blow and they drain enough magicka and stamina trying to get away, you'll tear through them easily.

    Really? Once I lock in on wrecking blow they're screwed? Well gee..Why didn't I think of that.

    Tell you what..You make a video of it, so we can all watch.

    Sure, I'll try to record some encounters with stam builds for you. Luckily for me, I do use streak, and I'm a good player, so I'm not the easy-kill sorc that all the stam builds are looking for, but the fights are always interesting.

    But seriously, if you're not able to take out an average Sorc, then idk what to tell you.

    Yea, its cause you're a good player that you're not an easy to kill sorc.

    Shield spam online is also bleed immunity online. People with a stamina build based on bleeding effects and with a set that procs off dots will have their build nullified by the bleed immunity of the damage shields.

    yeah and every magic range dmg dealer has its entire dmg nearly nullified by perma blocking stamuser...

    It's not possible to perma block in 1.6 - the stamina cost is way too high. But nice try, though.

    You're wrong. There are still several perma-blockers.

    Perma block is very hard to achieve right now...Hell Crushing Shock alone will eat Block users alive.

    I'm hard to kill on my DK too ;)

    And there are people achieving it. It took 5 sorcs in my group I was playing with the other day to take out a permablocking Templar. And let's not get started on a certain perma-blocking AD DK (:

    you sure he was blocking, or just spamming Blazing Shield with 50k HP.


    Totally blocking, the entire time lol. Had around 25k HP as well.

    5 Sorcs could all do crushing shock twice and instantly drain any Templars stamina to nothing.

    I mean....there is virtually zero way for him to perma block 5 sorcs.

    Hell even 2 sorcs would be impossible to Perma Block against.

    I was kiting him for quite awhile, my friends eventually showed up, I could do absolutely no damage to him. It literally took all of us to take him out.

    You'll see him, I'm sure of it. (:

    Could be health regen build....Templar could hit something similar to DK i think.

    On my sorc, I find everything easy EXCEPT stamina melee. Not wrecking blow users though. Not sure why so many people are enamored with that skill.

    Sheilds should absolutely be critable. They should also have a 10-15 second cool down or something.

    Yes because every Sorc in the game should be instantly two-shottable by any VR14 with a bow in stealth....

    If you're having issues with Sorcs and Shield stacking you're doing it wrong.
