Remove Shield stacking completely

Maybe just make shields receive the same dmg and crit etc as the player would receive without shield?

This would be the biggest buff imaginable, now my shields could have 50% passive mitigation? Yes pls.

So now I am curious, since I know @Teargrants does 1v1 and 1vX in his vids, how he survives in Cyro when running solo. I know he didn't say he doesn't use any shields, only that he doesn't stack them. I recall him trolling people by using heavy armor in a video a while back, but, I doubt that is standard operating procedure.

I swap between characters quite a bit, so I am not always in the know/experienced enough to see or effectively use some strategies, but I tend to keep Hardened/Empowering Ward up at all times, cast Harness Magicka on top of it if I am facing a heavy hitting magicka character,or pop Healing Ward if I get low on health. I don't run with things stacked 24/7, but some shields do run concurrently because of the situation. Hasn't stopped skilled players from stream-rolling me, though

@Teargrants you show him! I'm glad you're here, now we're just missing Blinxen, where is that mit stacking dancer?

I think the Cyrodiil buff should reduce damage dealt to all damage shields by 100% If cause of the damage is a nightblade.

Let's see if the OP is actually a NB?

Seriously though, this would made sorcs completely useless and we'd all have to re-roll a Nb, Cyrodiil will be: "Waiting for someone to accidental stand up."

I remember the week after 1.6 and that was the case. XD

After playing on PTS, I can say that getting killed 1v1(and sometimes much more) by a NB in IC isn't a thing anymore. However, this is only possible with my shields. I think it's a fair trade off for the strength reduction, buff to cloak, nerf to dodge roll, nerf to BE(Seriously? 1 friggen second for BoL)***, and any other chance for me not to recieve damage besides my shields.

I have to say, regrettably, that the most harm this patch has done was dropped on DKs. I don't even play a DK, but I had these guys wail on me with the DK charge-talon-whip combo and they couldn't even dent me without an utli. They also drop so fast now with the no regen block thing.

SN: Is anyone noticing that Ults seem to have kept their damage?

***This really bothers me. I don't use BoL, but I ran into a few sorcs that did and they dropped like flies because of this crap.

I haven't seen the DK patch notes, I don't really feel they need to be nerfed anymore though, I don't think anyone needs any more nerfs! What we need is some creativity and some more content that challenges the meta, not nerfs that destroy the meta.

The nerf to BE was waaayyy too much, and this new set I suspect a staminaer can destroy a sorc with a DW flurry or 2, yet to see it in action though. I called it elsewhere a "Setup a gap closer Debuff" bolt is dead, I hope ZOS brings some adjustments in on the next update, all of our iconic skills are getting slaughtered by these nerfs, now there's only Ward :C Personally I'm considering taking up invasion as a means to get out of those tough spots you get ganked in, with all of these buffs to stam, I guess why not? Use it on a mouse to get around town too ;P I'm yet to get into IC but I'll see if I can slip in tonight, wanna give the Nb's a run for their money.
