Yeah I died so many times last night through a dodge roll from wrecking blow last night.....even double dodge rolls....died every time. 2 handers are so damn buggy and broken it's sad. I don't care if I get 1-shotted or whatever because I ran out of stam, let my shields down and didn't block or whatever but If I double dodge roll double bolt escape and some DK flys at me back from my starting position in the middle of my second dodge roll and sends me flying like a foul ball mid-roll something is wrong with that ability.
walk through it you dunce, it automatically stops the animation.....dodge rolling around rofl...so bad

Yeah it stops the animation if the guy wielding the sword is a terri-bad. I tried several times having people "walk through" my two-hander and I was able to hit them by mouse looking in their direction as they passed through every single time no matter what they did and I had never used a 2-hander before that. With practice it is virtually impossible to miss with this ability unless they dodge roll (and it works) or they bolt esc

Sorcerers are currently out of control because:All from stacking one single attribute.
- Much damage
- Much tank
- Much escape
Yes, other classes can stack either Magicka or Stamina but no other class has had such a huge benefit from the softcap removal as Sorcerers. Call me QQ, call me noob, call me whatever, but after a year of (almost exclusively) playing PvP, you have to be blind to not notice the current situation. This is Dragon Knight 2.0, only much harder to actually kill since DK2.0 has the best escape ability in the game, whereas DK1.0 would always end up dying.
I mean that's an exaggeration, show me one video of a sorc 1v10 like 1.5 and earlier DK's and I'll agree it's worse. 1v1 yeah sorcs are really awesome right now if played by someone competent. But by no means are they 1.5 DK flap talon standard everyone dies bad.

Here is an OP shield stack:
Wear whitestrakes gear and use (2H or S&B) and resto - enchant your weapons with hardening. Charge in with shielded assault (or crit rush into brawler) if they burn through all that and your health goes down, whitestrakes will proc, immediately hit dampen magicka then pop barrier then pop a healing ward on top of barrier while your health is still low. Your weapon enchant shields should have proced by then giving you even more shields.
So many shields! Clearly this proves that sorcerer needs to get nerfed!
Yes sorcs have one strong damage shield, but it doesnt stack on itself. When you see a sorcerer with a blue health bar that goes across the screen they are using annulment or dampen and it won't even stop your weapon damage.
This is like saying that sorcs are OP because they use crushing shock and nirnhoned/sharpened/whatever trait is bugged next.
I think the main issue is that people have it in their minds that sorcs are supposed to be glass cannons with decent DPS but they are supposed to disintegrate like wet tissue paper if hit by a strong breeze. If you hit a sorc with a few light attacks and the sorc doesn't immediately explode then its time for another QQ thread.
If you don't like the shield meta, then tell ZOS to incentivize hybrid builds instead of just crying for nerfs. I'd much rather be a stamina sorc than a shield stacking, stick wielding, dress parade but I can't run a hybrid build anymore. I don't have enough resources to hold the attribute numbers in both magicka and stam, and have either of those hit for any decent amount of damage. Expert mage passive was also nerfed so my magicka costs as a stamina sorc are increased as well. Because of the health nerf, 15K of my resources are stolen and i won't get them back until I have about 300 champion points. So i don a dress like every other sorc is forced to.
This is not a sorc issue, its a no hardcaps + 15k less resoruces issue. The same issue is causing perma dodge roll and 15k wreaking blow spam.
But yeah nerfing sorc will fix all that.

It's just that some people feel like sorcerers should be useless in PvP and PvE. Matter of fact give the choice to all these people crying nerf sorcerer they Sorcerer would have less damage than a DK/NB and no survivalbility what so ever. Think about it ZOS what would be the point to playing Sorcerer again. Remember the days of pre 1.6 where if you was a Sorc very very select few people would let you do trails or endgame with them because the class was useless, this is what these people who cry about sorcerers being useful want. Pre 1.6 I can count 12 sorcerers to a include a guildmaster of a guild that I was a part that was a sorcerer who left the game because of how useless the class was. Nerfing only sorcerers again without nerfing or fixing all the other balancing problems at this point bring the class down back to where it was pre 1.6 useless only useful as a negate slave. NBs have their abitily to be able to disappear when threaten, and come back and burst you down to dead in 3 to 5 secs. (Burst Damage). DKs still have the highest sustained DPS in the game atm with some of the best survivalbility in the game when set up right. Templars pretty much is the best healer/utlitity in the game with decent dps a very nice execute, great survivalbility. So yeah the people who are crying nerf for sorcs. are the same people exploiting the 2h wreaking blow mixed with heavy attack canceling both with a class ability and then having all three hit at the same time almost one hit killing any caster that isn't using damage shields. Now you see why these people are crying they are pretty much cheating and getting mad that their cheats/exploit don't work on some builds.
I mean that's an exaggeration, show me one video of a sorc 1v10 like 1.5 and earlier DK's and I'll agree it's worse. 1v1 yeah sorcs are really awesome right now if played by someone competent. But by no means are they 1.5 DK flap talon standard everyone dies bad.

I actually killed an entire raid of about 30 people in about 5 minutes the other night. They just kept running over my mines and walking right into my overload. The greatest slaughter of 100 days /played of PvP and my freaking hard drive was full. ) =
That said I have some great clips of me killing 5 to 8 people like a fox in a henhouse.
Don't get me wrong, it isn't because Sorcs are OP. It is because Tamriel "Unlimited" has unleashed all sorts of bad into Cyrodiil (and these forums) and I've made it my quest to train them all personally!

ok well besides ezerath killing bads, its not really plausible. i should elaborate, a sorc standing in the middle of a zerg destroying souls. its just not possible, then again dk's arent really 1vXing atm eitheir. IMO the game has come a long way towards being balanced. do things need tweaked? yes, for instance, as a sorc, overload needs fixed, im melting ppl with 2-3 hits from OL light attacks. radiant destruction needs to be broken with roll dodge etc. all other executes can be dodged. a few other things, but honestly the game is much closer to being balanced then it was.

Just to share from today experience: decided to use it while closing dolmen: casted charge - stacked in animation, after bug ended casted again and stacked in animation, after second time bug ended casted 3rd time... and stacked in animation. 3 stack in a row with 3 cast. Should i say what i thinking about it?
@Cinbri , no one (at least I think so) is dismouning every 20 seconds to recast Hardened Ward. In Combat the shield duration can make a difference against a skilled opponent who times his attacks right after the 6 second duration is over. But mostly you will recast Hardened Ward before it is gone to prevent unmitigated hits on your small health pool, so the duration is less important than most people may think in actual combat. In fact, comparing only Hardened Ward and Blazing Shield, Hardened Ward would be the preferable defense tool against ranged opponents, while Blazing Shield is better against melee. However, the Sorc will still be able to defend himself better against melee opponents if he uses the other defense tools he has, wich the Templar is lacking mostly, being Mines, Bolt Escape, Encase, Defensive Rune.
