A light armor sorc should be 2 shotable by a dps.... thats the deal with wearing light armor...what do you think you should be as tough as a med or heavy armor wearer?
Sheilds should absolutely be critable. They should also have a 10-15 second cool down or something.

Ezareth covered it above. LA wearers have almost no passive mitigation. If you catch them on horseback, or unaware, you should be able to explode them. LA wearers do have access to some decent active defenses, though. Figure out a way to prevent them from re-activating those, and you'll do a lot better in Cyrodiil.

If you cripple them they just throw up another shield and bolt away. If you are going to have the best skill in the game to determine when and where you fight then you should be a little more squishy. I wear light armor as well. It's not as nice as the medium that I was wearing but it's not exactly paper thin either. If you are getting hit you are doing it wrong. Or in my case if you are not stealthed or invis then you are doing it wrong.
Hits should definitely crit against shields. Does spell penetration work against them? Probably not.
I would be fine with light armor sorcs doing more dmg than a med dps... because they actually do lol! Meteor does insane dps. Im not saying that they shouldn't have sheilds but if you can stay perma alive by just standing there and pressing imovable and sheild. Then on top of that if you start to feel like you might lose control of the situation .... bolt bolt bolt... In my opinion its OP. I guess we will see what happens though once everyone gets tired of chasing bolt escaping sheild stacking sorcs
Defend all you want... there is a reason there are so many complaints on the forums about sorcs
Yay fear is so good! except you will rarely ever get close enough to sorc who is harassing a group in pvp to use fear. Cause soon as someone starts going at them bolt bolt bolt.

Shields receive no defenses from your armor or spell resistance, they are hit for 100% of damage every time.
You can block through a shield but it doesn't reduce the damage done to your shield but it *does* drain your stamina.

Something must be wrong with my combat log statistics then. It always shows much lower hits against Hardened Ward and Harness Magicka than my normal roll over damage for Concealed Weapon. Significantly lower.
Also what happens if the sorc hits the Hardened Ward button while the shield is at 1/4 strength? They just get another full strength shield? That's not a battle I'm going to win with a 3 or 4 to 1 magicka exchange.
I've tied a bunch of different ways to beat sorcs. The combo of shields and bolt makes them impossible (for me at least) to take without having 2 or 3 other players around if the sorc is half way competent. If I am lucky, I catch a bolting sorc streaking back away from the fight with low health, low magicka and then I can get them. It's a lot harder now with all the nerfs to stealth burst damage and the loss of ambush.

As a NB you also have Ambush, if you can't figure out how to combine those abilities to keep on a sorc and keep Fear on him, I have to say that your problem is with how you play your class, not how sorcs work. The very fact that you dismiss Fear as bad says a lot about how far we should listen to your opinions.

I never said it was bad. I said it was difficult to land on a sorc. I will try it tonight however I dont think it is as easy as you claim.
I feel like I am usually out of range of ambush after 1 bolt

Don't use the fear on the first ambush. Let the first bolt escape away from you give you free immunity and *then* use an ambush (or other gap closer) /fear combo.
Many times I see nightblades try to fear bomb me on the first shot and I bolt and stun then before they can hit the fear and I'm gone before it lands after they break free.
Does DoT skills works now on a damage shield? Can harness magicka absorbs DK stamina DoTs?
