Please stop turning every thread that talks about damage shields into a nerf sorcerer thread:/ I understand that some of them may be, but not all of them are. please read and analyze threads, not make responses based on the words "damage shield"

    Any thread discussing damage shields are inadvertently talking about the survivability of light armor builds. Since as a class, sorcerer's have very little to make anything other than a light armor caster then changing damage shields will have a major impact on a large number of the working sorcerer builds. Expecting a class that is heavily dependent on shields to not bring up their opinions is unlikely.

    they dont have to make the thread all about them is what I am saying.

    Its starting to get old seeing almost every thread talking about damage shields get hijacked and turned into a "sorc OP!!!" thread. Its a waste of time.

    then again I suppose me making this thread was as well:/ as it wont change anything.

    bah, oh well.

    This has been said a million times already. A lot of people, myself include think sorcs need a serious nerfing (or other class buffing to combat sorcs), Sorcs almost unanimously agree that they are underpower and should be buffed.

    ZOS gets it already... I played through the Vamp DKs and now am playing through the SORCs. I personally want ZOS to acknowledge this already so we can move on.

    I personally will not play through another year with the game in its current state of balance. Just wish they would give some community feedback so we can move on from this already.

    Can I ask what are sorcs killing you with? Maybe we can give some tips. I'm just confused because in pugs I finish sorc kill quests without a prob.

    To Cody, I agree with your main point though not necessarily with everything you post. ;-)

    This is a pvp forum. There's no place for reasonable logic here. Be gone.

    Agreed. Whoever came up with the design should be shot in the foot and only admitted to hospital when he manages to find 3 other people willing to maim themselves the same way in order to accompany him.

    My Internet scraper just pulled the word Damage Shield and Nerf in the same sentence.

    Is this another Nerf Sorcerer thread?

    Only on my second cup of coffee.. but I just realized your title is speaking to forum sorcerers then your post says "Please stop turning every thread that talks about damage shields into a nerf sorcerer thread." So maybe I misread as I thought you meant "Hey everyone, stop turning damage shield threads into 'lets nerf sorcs' threads." Now if there are threads where forum sorcs are wanting to nerf sorcs, I would emphatically disagree with them. :-)

    Edit: I do wish healing ward would land on me *all* the time instead of that darn person who stood in red circles. But I suppose that *would* be too OP.

    There is enough well-placed jargon in this post that I have no idea what you said.

    I have no idea if I'm doing or not doing whatever it is you didn't want folks to do (that sounds weird even to me).
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    That's not true. Sorcs invariably bring that up whenever people point out their unique ability to have a damage shield based on magicka.

    Wouldn't a "nerf damage shields" thread be really a nerf sorcerers thread by default.. you know being sorcs are the only class with a really good damage shield?

    Even if less survivability... you get 17k snipe when others take 14k from that attack... LoL ye sure you need the shield.....
    But sorcs got the most überwtfdmg and CC output, kite, escape ETC.... so mehh easymode sorcerer class. Before flame, i have sorc and i know how easy it is, how powerful, how tanky. Easymode crap.
