1.6 Is An Extremely Good Patch, Best Balance Update Ever

Ashanne✭✭✭✭OP...are u fishing for LOL's??? looks like that
what u are saying is ...i can finally pvp ..i sucked before..thank got I can now stack thousands of shield damage on me..
how come is this a perfect balance for Sorcs only?
so u are wearing light armor...and i think u can reach at least 30k damage shield. lets say i am a stamina build......how do i bring that shields down to kill u? cuz u said that LA wearers die instantly after shield drops..so the piece of cake is in constantly to do 30k of damage until u run out of magika and u bolt out
PS: have u met some extremely lonely EMP on PTS and his friend "BASH"
u earned my LOL3 -
XEVENEX✭✭✭✭People complaining about shields need to seriously look at their dps.
Players are doing 4-12k single target dps. Max Hardened Ward is around 13k right now. Even at 4k dps, guess how long it lasts? That's right a whole 3 seconds. Guess what happens if you apply heavy dps to a shield based defense? That's right, you lock them into shield spam.
Most of the complaining I see here isn't legit. I've had no problem whatsover burning down shield users.

You just stated the whole problem yourself, and are asking people to look at their dps?
It takes 3 seconds (2-3 offensive abilities, much more resources than casting the shield) to break one shield. After that shield is gone, your opponent simply casts another shield (having thrown DPS at you during the 3-4 seconds you spend breaking their shield).
This repeats until you are out of magicka/stamina, or dead from the things thrown at you between dmg shields.
How you might consider this "balanced" is beyond me

who told you defense should cost more than offense? All I hear from you is "my dps and my sustain are really bad". I bet you're sniper built.Edited by XEVENEX on 2 February 2015 23:182 -

I think we fought yesterday; you burned down my shields while keeping your shields intact for most of the fight (I saw only a few actual damage numbers). I don't find The shield stacking direction the game is going very fun and I suspect most/all non-sorcerers feel the same way.
Unsubbed and no longer playing, but still checking the Alliance War forum for the lulz.

The game told me?
2-3 offensive abilities cost more stamina/magicka than one defensive one, that's just a fact.
1,3k-1,5k shield = 3~ flying blades (546 stamina), 4-5 Poison Injections (800-1k stamina) in stamina gear, 4~ funnel healths (888 magicka) in magicka gear.
All I hear is "boohoo, I can't play without op dmg shields, dont nerf them please"
P.S. I'm not "sniper built", I'm Bow/DW with minimal focus on Snipe (see the link on my signature).1 -

You misread my post, so I'll simply say, yep.The game told me?
2-3 offensive abilities cost more stamina/magicka than one defensive one, that's just a fact.
EDIT:
Im not going to continue to derail a good thread anymore.

Sure. The fight was long & drawn out and I could have prolonged it indefinitely, but I got bored so tried to push it.
