As soon as I saw 40k shield this post lost all credibility. As soon as I saw best dps I spit my coffee all over my computer screen. I have to say this post gave me a good laugh with my morning coffee.
If you are counting barrier in this, then your point is irrelevant because all classes can reach 40k shields with a strong enough barrier.
Sorcs have one shield that other classes can't use. Any other shield that is used to reach this mythical 40k mark can be used by all classes and other classes have shields that sorcs don't have access to.
If you see a sorc turn on overload and you still get killed, you are a nub. Plain and simple. There is no other way to say this. You don't kill good players with overload unless you catch them from stealth, even then you have time to recover.
The costs of streak is extremely high when used consecutively and can easily be countered.
The dps part really made me laugh. I don't get insta-killed by magicka users ever. The only time I get insta-killed is against stam users.
lastly, annulment does nothing against stamina users, which are both plentiful and the hardest hitters. Against them all we have is hardened and healing ward. Without hardened ward against a stam user a sorc would hsve no chance.
I have over 75 points into bastion. When I was emp, my ward was something over 22k. Normally it is about 14k. What you saw was either a shield number that added ward and annulment together, emp, or a broken shield bar that keeps adding up numbers even after a shield expires.TheElementalPlatypus wrote: »Cinnamon_Spider wrote: »First there were claims of 15k and then 20k. Now we're up to 40k? Did someone see a video with a bugged shield bar?
I could be wrong, but I'm like 90% sure I've seen a hardened ward alone between 18-25k.

Why do I even click on a thread title like that?
