People in trials don't slot 3 shields. If they are spamming shields all the time then they aren't doing any DPS.
Shields in trials are rarely slotted and if they are it is just one for emergencies

"Taller races now sit in chairs correctly"
Spamming heals in heavy armor is as powerful as spamming shields.
Agree shields are very strong against most of the builds but if someone comes at you with raw damage build (non crit based) the shields are gone in 2 shots. Also there is a tactical counter to shields too - catch the sorcerer shield-less - stun him and burst him down.
I figure both Mag and Stam Sorc will get a hefty nerf in the next PTS patch cycle.
There is some Mag Sorc set ups that are ridiculously OP....Pirate Skeleton/Amberplasm Faso and Malcom sets up, Imperial Physique Pet sets up like Dracane uses on EU is very OP in 1v1, and 58k Max Magicka dual wield stacking set ups like QAM, All the folks mentioned are great players.
However, All of these types of set ups are overperforming and are also perfect examples why a soft cap diminishing return system needs to be implemented in ESO in the worst way.

"Here in his shrine, that they have forgotten. Here do we toil, that we might remember. By night we reclaim, what by day was stolen. Far from ourselves, he grows ever near to us. Our eyes once were blinded, now through him do we see. Our hands once were idle, now through them does he speak. And when the world shall listen, and when the world shall see, and when the world remembers, that world will cease to be. - Miraak
-They should have an increase cost over time
-They should be crittable
-They should not stack with Harness and Harness should give way less magika back
-Bastion should be removed from the game
That's just a start

Single shields are not too strong, they are where they should be in my opinion.
But shieldstacking needs to go already and along with it, Shieldbreaker.
Auri-El is my lord,
Trinimac is my shield,
Magnus is my mind.
