Hi there, welcome. Simply log in, go to your skills menu, and take the shields off. Replace them with other helpful moves. Maybe more heals. Maybe an AOE! Or get your buddy to use Guard on you from here on out.

If you don't like this idea, then continue using shields. :)

    No such moves exists for mag-sorcs - unless switching the class.

    What heals? You mean power surge, which is a minor "HoT" that requires you to be actively attacking your target, as well as covering your health so it can work with a damage shield?

    Healing ward, the damage shield that only heals a minor amount if spammed under pressure, and takes the full duration to heal whatever's left from the chipped away shield value in combat?

    Or did you mean the twilight that we have to double bar to even use, for one burst heal on a light armor character?

    Because I'm absolutely sure you don't mean the clannfear, which scales off of your max health.

    Let's all take a moment to imagine what it must be like to be this clueless.
    Unless you are willing to be a mindless sycophant and/or coddle others due to their insecurities prepare to be harrased by the Orwellian enforcers on these forums. You should also try to refrain from using any words more complex than those used by a small child due to the fact that said enforcers have made it clear that their vocabulary pool is aenemic.

    Hi. Nice idea you got there! I wish people would have thought about that especially because we all know every class has an equivalent Breath of Life like heal and defensive mitigation skills on par with Cloak.

    And let's be honest, shields are pretty useless when a Stam Warden or Stam Blade is setting you up for burst.

    So there is no work around whatsoever? Going from light to heavy, Resto skills, enchants. Zero ways to balance a little less damage for a little more survivability? Nothing at all?

    You sorcs are screwed.

    No. No. No. The solution is obviously to give Vigor a magicka morph. Then every class would have access to a castable heal without having to use a pet spec or a resto staff. Seems obvious, doesn't it?

    OMG, I should've thought of this! No longer will I have to shield to avoid dmg, or shield to give my healer the time to heal me. I just needed to slot a self-heal that'll fit on just one of my bars, and will be able to heal me back to full. No, wait, better yet, I'll just slot a spammable that heals me as I do dmg, that'll be amazing. Or even a spammable that'll heal me AND another group member, that'll be even better.

    Seriously though, there was already plenty of counterplay to shields, adding a cast-time, that's likely interruptable, is essentially gimping a reliable magicka-based defense.

    No no no I play only magicka toons and I'm happy with this changes, mostly. I think though that shields buff with resistances and duration is not necessary, also shields should self stun the caster, let's be honest it's the most OP defensive mechanic in game! Like have you seen all these LA tanks that can survive zergs? Blocking and roll dodging needs a buff!

I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game." - @AlexanderDeLarge

    LMAO! You guys... How about this...

    Use Jailbreakers and only cast shields while sprinting! Would that work?

    No? Wouldn't work for a number of reasons, but the biggest reason being you can't cast and sprint at the same time.

    Look everyone, I have a mag sorc, too. Now it's going to be more difficult if not impossible to run it like I have been. It's either getting shelved or reworked. The ESO community is effing passionate as can be seen throughout the forums! We must choose our own destiny. I choose to keep playing my favorite game and I accept the challenges laid before me! Sorc or no sorc, ESO will go on, and I with it. They can take our shields, but they can NEVER TAKE OUR.....Freeeeedddoooommmmmmmm!
