Stam Morph of Blazing Shield?

wharf

I play a stamplar...and for the most part Im a pvper. Does anyone else think a buffed up stam morph would be a good idea? Say the stam morph is a 33% health shield ( so if your health is 21k you get a 7k blazing shield), this would help stamplars actually have a little defensive survivability. Giving templars a defensive buff would help them be more in line with dks in respect to defense since they lack the mobility of a sorc or nb. Anyway just a thought I had that was worth mentioning...

I would definitely agree with you on this if this did ever happen I would have a reason to go back to my Stamplar, but with the upcoming thieves guild update it will destroy stamina classes :P so i'm sticking to my sorcerer for now but once they make stamplar a little bit more powerful with something they can at least survive with or at least be able to get away such as nb cloak or sorc streak then i will have a reason to play on my stamplar

Woops was meant to edit, I do like having 4k+ weapon damage but it's useless againt a zerg if you can't survive

Isn't that basically just Bone Shield?

That only mitigates physical damage though right?

wharf

yeah bone shield is just physical damage.

russhenderson85b14_ESO

oh good point

DjKahun

Yup thats the only thing that held me back from using bone shield

The shield is pretty decent in pve, add the aoe skill from 2h with the damage shield morph and you get 20k ez shields. The skill is only bad in pvp.

True, shields are a lot stronger in PVE but a lot of players here including myself don't do much pve mostly pve

That's only a 3.5k shield in PvP after Battle Spirit Reduction

Would you waste a skill slot on something that only absorbs 3.5k dmg and lasts 6 seconds? You get more survivability out of slotting something like Shuffle.

Doesn't really matter if one Sun Shield morph costs stamina or magicka at this point. It's still only a 15% max health shield in PvP and there's no health oriented builds in current meta.

They need to buff up Sun Shield period. Unless they dont want templars to use it in PvP. Maybe that's the case? But making one morph costs stamina is definitely not a bad idea, IF the skill was worth using

Well I never ever ever ever do pve, so I don't really care about blazing shield because it's horrible in pvp, 3k shield is a joke

Actually 4k shield, remember you get 5k health in cyrodiil ehich means stromger shield, although it's still crap

Agreed, I did try blazing shield on my old build and I have to say it is definitely a joke! Firstly it lasts 6 seconds and secondly its weak lol I'm better off without it just spamming vigor

TheM0rganism

As a stamplar, I would love for it to stay magika, as it's the only mag-dump i have until they fix toppling charge.

What it needs is a AOE stun when it deals damage for both morphs.

ryanborror

If they make blazing shield a Stam ability you'll hate it as much as magic Templars do

Cody

a stamina based damage shield that would be worth using in PvP? ZOS has shown they will not do such a thing. ZOS could have done so with blade cloak, but instead made into into something only worth a movement speed buff that every class can get from a source besides blade cloak.

Kupoking

Stamina needs more defensive/healing options outside of rally+vigor regen.

One cab argue can honor the dead, dragon blood,igneous shield are good options but yet they are magika based.
