Make wall of elements an actual wall and make stamina users pay for it with thier stamina.

You say that Annulment is weak. Just wait until you take a 35k hit and survive. A stamina dps can't do that.

In PVE, stamina builds have to run Rally to have the kind of survivability that Annulment provides. A stamina user can't take a Molag Kena lighting wall (although why you're not rolling through one is in question) on his own.

I can run all vet dungeons (including HM) and normal trials with 16k health because of that shield.

I run a high sustain Seducer set, which nets me low max magicka, sitting at 39k with food, and that lets me whomp down a 19k shield

In addition, the animation of the ability is really nice, and lets you cancel it really easily, so putting up the shield takes a whole .1 seconds.

It's a very strong ability that any magicka build except Sorcerers should take.

Stamina blocks and dodge rolls to avoid the 35K attack

Ok, let's compare:

Magicka:



Stamina:


5 skill points vs 2 skill points.

You have the rest of us magicka people confused with 'magicka templars'.

That's why light armor won't be buffed, can you imagine what it would do for RD spammers?

It's not Magicka who are bad , it's stam who are cheat .

Light armor shield now absorbs all types of dmg not just magic. You can stack hardened ward and harness magicka/dampen magic and have 2 shields that absorb over 20k of any dmg.

Which doesn't work nearly as great as it sounds. With the corrections to regen and the increase to Magicka costs, spamming shields frequently enough to keep yourself alive means you're not doing any DPS.

Light armor is in a tough spot right now.

Oh the horror of having to run an excellent HoT+heal on the weapon you want to use anyway. Magicka users and their crummy restoration staff are jelly for sure.

I can run all those dungeons with 16K health without using that shield.

Light armor is trash and anyone that says otherwise either isn't paying attention or is biased and just wants the AP gravy train from dead light armor users to continue.
