I guess it depends on what you are doing. Crit surge and blood magic give enough healing that I don't use shields much on mine. Lightning blockade, liquid lightning, curse, a force pulse or 2 and then mage's wrath starts making things explode. If my sorc wasn't a neglected alt that I plan on making into a healer someday, it would really melt things.
Rude. Just because someone wasn't able to give you the support you wanted on one of the old perma block bosses, doesn't make a class useless in 4-person or the newer trials. Take it up with ZOS and their attempts to make blocking "strategic" without adjusting the content accordingly.SmellyUnlimited wrote: »I guess it depends on what you are doing.

Please don’t. I had a Sorc healer in VAA when I was holding 5 axes. His heals did absolutely nothing. Thank god I’m an Argonian and can self-sustain pretty well. He threw me the odd orb which helped, but otherwise, worthless.
