DEATH to all the noob sorcs running around with 7/7 LA full divines with 40k magicka. Now you actually need some skill to play sorc. And for PvP harness is going to be so OP -_-".... Good sorcs are going to be nigh unkillable now lol.

Running full LA divines with pure magicka doesn't auto-noobify you know... Some with skill STILL choose that setup anyway and make it work fine, regardless of the upcoming changes. That being said, carry on with your battle cry.

Sure with 9k stamina probably a single 1 v 2 with 2 CC's and DEATH. Unless ofcourse you are masterful with positioning or play a bomb build. Anyway imma continue with my battle cry : DEATTTTTTTTHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!~ *flex*

its not the shields its bad players who chose complete sustain and theyre dps is garbage, i can spam shields and fend off a good 6 bads, but 1 bursty build comes along and if all i do is shield im still going to die

I do specialize in mobility, yes. Also if Stamina is an issue just slot Dark Deal.

Who are you guys fighting against that you lot/they allow you to have your shield up for 20 seconds.

Seriously, you have to refresh your shields that often fighting anybody with half a clue about how to play this game.

The change to the shield :
- good magsorc in pvp will have less time to hide, refresh their shield and strike back. But they'll have more defense, more shield while spamming them, and will be far more dangerous.
- bad magsorc in pvp will die fast.
- tanksorc in both pve and pvp will loose one of their main defense, but they still have block.
- pve sorc will suffer for a large survivability nerf. No good heal, no preemptive shield, and huge nerf to pets.
- speaking of pets, even with 5k more life in pvp they'll die incredibly fast. A 6 second protection instead of a 20 second one is a enormous nerf. In pve, it's even worse, the sorc already sacrify at least three slots for pets (bound armor is still a must, and I don't even talking about magelight), and now they have to spam the shield every 6 second, that's nearly mean a fourth slot used on every bar. Healer sorc have to stop spamming heal every 6 second, it severely drop their effectiveness in this rôle.

So, the main problem (unkillable shield spammer sorc) is still here, and every other gameplay has been nerfed. My burster magsorc in pvp still can do exactly the same he was able to realize, but "special" sorc who try something else… well, I feel sorry for them.
But now, my stamsorc will be able to do exactly the same, in addition with dodge, great healing, more speed, more break free and block. If only there was more improvement for him...

This seems great, now pve tanks can actually focus on wearing heavy armor for mitigation and magicka sorcerers can do ranged dps instead of melee due to Boundless Storm ^^


RIP shieldstacking pvp'ers...

I just read the patch notes, heavy armor is weird now O.o
