With new Shield changes, you should remove the 50% reduction in PvP

@ZOS_BrianWheeler Like the topic says to compare the 1s cast time on shields you should remove the 50% reduction on it in pvp. I think it should be a good trade.

This. Or allow shields to crit.

That wouldnt be reliable since you cant spam shields.

Now you must use the shield "intelligent" in pvp. For example in a little time frame you can cast it. So i think shields must benefit to cast it. The easiest way i think is to remove this 50% debuff.

I think this are good changes for intelligent gameplay, now shields should be stronger as single stack again.

I agree. This debuff needs to be removed now from shield values.

I agreed with a nerf to shields but think a 1s cast time is wrong. Shields are supposed to be an emergency protective measure, like roll dodge or block.

Anyway, this thread is good for a laugh. Devs would have to be insane to agree to this totally unbalanced, ridiculous proposal.

Even removing 50% reduction is not enough, cast time will get you kill easily!

With cast time it may be interrupt able!

IDK about removing it completely, even with cast time and crittable, a 24k shield in pvp would be too much imo. I'd be down with changing it to 25% and removing shattering blows completely from the CP tree. Doubt the changes will make it to live as is.

Are you serious? you could easily get 60k shields in pve.
This patch is really bad, but this will just make it worse.

Instead of asking I have unsubed. Shields nerf is death sentence to any light armor user now, I'm not gonna support that kind of madness, if this goes live, I'm out for good... Nothing more to say.
