Is this a very sneaky nerf sorc thread...?

Nope, I honestly think mag Sorcs are fine im both pvp and pve.

They are a strong class with an easy rotation and good defenses. Perfect for beginners or for people learning an aspect of the game.

Plus shacklebreaker is just as good on a templar or warden as it is on a sorc.

Another amazing crafted set, so easy to obtain and so well performing.

It's not best-in-slot, though. It's just a really good crafted set that gives certain builds a chance of being competitive. Why should players who don't have the time/patience/in-game gold to acquire BIS sets not at least have a chance of being competitive?

Yea cuz mag sorcs with endless stamina is balance right? Being able to constantly dodge roll on magicka doesn’t break the game at all right?

13-15K stamina and 800 stamina recovery doesn't allow anybody to "constantly roll dodge" even if they are wearing medium armor, let alone Light or Heavy, since this set is used primarily by mages. It's overrated and certainly doesn't need any nerfs.

800? I have 1200 easily between sorc passives, shackle and serpent mundus while still having 48k max magicka 14k stam 2100 magicka recovery and 2200 unbuffed spell damage. I dodge roll nearly as much as my main.

Is that the infamous necropotence shacklebreaker combo I've heard of?

We all know it, we all love it, it works on any build and on any class.

It doesn't work through a proc, it doesn't promote a cancerous playstyle.

It is easy to get, and will always look swanky thanks to the plethora of fashionable motifs.

So join with me in saying thank you to Shacklebreaker, the pizza of PVP sets.

With ZOS-logic it should therefore be nerfed, since so many players use it. You know, to promote diversity.....

This.

I we like it they will nerf

We've all been there mate, nothing to be ashamed of.

Maryal · October 2017

It's a very neutral, well balanced non-proc set that works well with many other sets. I like it a lot.

Huzzah!

Close this thread before "to make Nobles Conquest more comparable, we've cut the stats in half of Shacklebreaker to make people want to use Nobles Conquest more."

Nah it's fine, since the set is locked behind morrowind paywall.

Plus shacklebreaker is just generically good, it doesn't overperform in any single aspect.

I´m all on your side. I think Shackle is a balanced set.

A lot of sets has been nerfed even though they didn´t overperform. Just take BSW as an example. Had a friend who did a few dps tests, comparing Julianos and BSW. With BSW he got a 17% dps increase, and with Julianos he got a 15% dps increase. This was before they nerfed BSW. Still BSW was nerfed due to people saying it was "BiS for everything" and almost everyone used it on magicka DPS back a few patches. But was it overperforming?? Not really if you ask me. #zoslogic

Yea that was back when lightning wasn't even used much. BSW needs some love.

It didn't give minor vulnerability back then. Fire was much better.

They made that change in Homestead, and BSW was around since One Tamriel, so yeah

I have to say I appreciate shacklebreaker.

Anything that useful / that good deserves appreciation.

Here's to hoping it's not nerfed for no reason.

Nothing comparable really exists. It would have to be a set that worked on dps, healers and tanks for both magicka and stamina.

So in all honesty, Shacklebreaker is still the closest thing to that. However it isn't as good in pve since you generally specialise more.

I've run through a couple of vet dungeons in my pvp gear and was able to pull workable numbers, but a proper setup will always be better.

*sign if only we have craftable jewelrys....

I'd love to try out the burst hybrid damage using shackle breaker, clever alchmist and molag kena

Shield stacking plus streak spam with burst is great for the game, so great a lot of the PvP'rs I play with have all quit sadly enough.

OutLaw_Nynx · October 2017

Shacklebreaker & Hunding’s Rage are like those friends who are always there for you? Drunk and need a driver? Don’t worry Shackelbreakers got you.

Gf or bf dumped you? Hundings is there for you.
