Shield breaker is ridiculous

    Damage from SB is unresistable. So golded out it's about 2200ish damage. If you DW and heavy attack. That damage is doubled from DW attack mechanics. SB can put a lot of hurt on shield stackers. Combine with viper/Selene, you get the picture.

    Double proc DW heavy attacks with SB? Thats news to me.

    Should not be possible in my opinion... or could be a perk to using DW. No matter what in pvp your most likely to see 2H as one of your weapons either primary or buff bar. So in comparison with Bow to DW, this heavy double proc thing may justify using SB with DW instead of Bow spam.

    I was personally waiting for DW SB weapons to come out because Weapons for IC sets were left out when 1TAM was released.

    as it should be.
    the fact is that the sorcerer shields are way too strong. not even this shield breaker set even works any more on the sorcerer shields.

    Is this actually true? Just curious, I didn't know that SB and DW worked like that.

    I think you might be trolling. As I'm sure you know, they last at most 6 seconds, and 1-2 of those seconds are taken up casting the wards. So what's the problem? Are you not cc'ing enough maybe? Also why would the shield breaker set stop working? And sorcs only have one shield, the others are available to everyone.

    Duel wield heavy attacks consist of 2 separate attacks at the same time. Each attack is considered a separate attack therefore proccing SB both times. Just like with a poison enchant and disease enchant on each weapon and both procs go off from a heavy DW attack.

    This will be ignored by the stam kids, anyway, but whatever.

    Shieldbreaker is bad design.

    It completely bypasses a class'es main defense. A hard counter, which is bad. It's not like Spinner's, that doesn't ignore armor. Why implement a class-defining defense mechanic, when you can ignore it, anyway?

    Where is the roll/stealth breaker?

    It's 2015, and back then, Annulment didn't absorb physical. Shield stacking was only Hardened Ward and a highly unreliable delayed burst heal bubble.
    Where is the magicka version of Shieldbreaker? Magicka builds struggeled against Harness Magicka, not stamina.

    Despite that hard counter, shields still got nerfed. So, that set was a mistake, anyway. And yet, it still remains.

    People (rightfully) complain how gear like Viper/Veli wins fights these days. Hypocrisy, much. Shieldbreaker also does that, but because it's against sorcs, it's somehow okay.

    And so on.

    I can respect somebody using irresistible enchants because u gotta use SOME skill to proc it by using attack in CLOSE combat.

    But when u can cloak and spam light attack with a bow there is no defeating it.

    Ok so u say put power surge on sorc? What if im a magplar.. or magicka nightblade?

    Its a troll set im not changing my mind ever

    Ps: this comes from somebody who thinks the ONLYYY cheeze in pvp/dueling is poisons and shield breaker .

    Not a complainer
