Damage shields should not be stackable

MakoFore

hard class to kill but also very hard to play so more power to em. t takes alot of skill to play mag sorc- and a bloody good ping too. i can't play it simply cos my pings to *** in pvp- ill double tap a skill cos it hasn't gone off and end up hard casting frag or some ***. my fave class though, but i need to play more lag forgiving classes in cyro.
i can live with that as opposed to perma blocking , skill spamming classes who can block cast and pretty much heal thru anything and dps thru anything in cyrodil spamming with 2 skills. i

Sorcerers already had their shields nerfed... They already had their shield time decreased to 6 damn seconds... And now because of PvP, you want to further nerf a class that will hurt them more so in PvE than your initial goal of hurting them in PvP.

Do people who make these nerf threads realize that there is more than just PvP, and when asking for said nerfs than 9x out of 10 it ends up hurting the class/skill more so from a PvE aspect? Or is it that they simply just don't care, so long as their request is granted.

Removing shield stacking won't affect pve. If you're shield stacking in pve you're wasting time lol. The reduction in shield duration had a bigger effect on pve than removing shield stacking would. My understanding (hope) is that the removal of shield stacking would come with a slight buff to ward strength to compensate, which would benefit pve'rs. The dev team seemed interested in freeing up sorcs gcds this last patch, well removing shield stacking and buffing shields slightly would free up a gcd, as someone else in this thread pointed out.

Damage shield stacking are the equivalent of god mode for Sorcs This class already has the best damage, and with shield stacking more survivability than heavy armor. Can someone explain how this is balanced?

nope, easily countered/overcome unless the person laying down the dps is completely brain dead.

this has been discussed to death. it's not going to change.

10/10 quality bait though.

Does anyone know anybody personally who got the flawless conqueror achievement without using a mag sorc? I don't.

Shields can't crit so you can't crit on a shield. The missing piece is that since you can't crit a person with shields, they shouldn't be able to crit with a shield up. Choose offense or defense but don't get the best of both.

Who stacks shields in PVE? Aside from soloing dungeons, what is the benefit? (Serious question)

I guess next patch ZoS will nerf sorcs so their shields last 2s. Basically spend whole day mashing 2 shield buttons, no time to do DPS
