If shield nerf goes live

usmguy1234

I think it's only fair that all survivability mechanisms gain a 1 second cast time. That means block, cloak, etc, etc.

Oh yey another one. Because the other 10362619 threads weren‘t enough.

If shield cast times go live i will simply shelve all characters of mine that utilize a damage shield in both PvE and PvP. Cast times on my abilities that allow me to survive is simply not a mechanic I will enjoy to play with. Sooner rather than later they will realize that people are no longer wearing light armor in PvP and they will revert this idiotic proposition and I can go back to those characters that will go on the shelf if these changes make it to live.

Just wish I hadn't spend pretty much the entire summerset patch and 1st month of wolfhunter practicing and getting better on my PvP magsorc. What a giant slap in the face. All those countless hours just wasted. Down the drain

And the response to a squeaky mouse is poison.

Good thing I'm not using a mouse. Please move on and stop trying to derail this thread.

From what I can see you started the conversation, so technically you were trying to derail it

RebornV3x

Breath of Life, DK wings, cloak, vigor, all the restoration staff skills and blocking need cast times now its only far and balanced zos get to it and finally balance this broken game.

Why don't we just turn this into wow and add cast timers for everything

Exactly. My mag sorc is literally a day younger then my first character which is about 4 years old at this point.
So I have literally poured 4 years of work in to this character. Just to have all that work blown to the wind by some very not well thought out nerfs by the dev team. And you have people gloating in the forums with glee about these changes. Yet they'll probably get mad that I made this thread and not see the hypocrisy in that.

Let them gloat and jeer. Next patch they will come for their class and add cast time to breath of life or add a cast time to wings or cloak. Those people are fools who do not understand what a slippery slope this is.

Considering Rob made a post yesterday defending this change, they plainly are not.

It's a very slippery slope. Arguably more so then ever at this point.

Could you link that post ? Thank you!!

if u want shields to be like cloak, shields drop the second u deal damage

if u want shields to be like block, they only absorb 50% of incoming dmg and u dont regen magicka while a shield is active

Gilvoth

this threads request to hurt and nerf other classes is out retaliation and spite and not interested in actual class balance.

Sorc since closed beta. This isnt our first nerf and its far from the last. It isn't even the worst to date. Your slippery slope fallacy is utter nonsense. All classes exist in a perpetual cycle of nerfs and buffs and its empirically obvious based on patch notes. Take our nerf with some dignity and quit crying. Well just be buffed again in the next patch.

I honestly hope they go through with it. Already got a heavy sorcerer build that don't utilize shields. Can't believe people forgot sorc has the BoL equivalent with the twilight matriarch.

Dont clue them in to how our class actually works. Itll derail the panic.

Lmao just wait, when everything goes downhill and there’s so many nerfs that every class is broken, then people will cry "buff this please!!1!"
It’s a literal cycle of stupidity. Sorry, but why buff a class if it’s you who wanted to nerf it in the first place?

Seriously, stop nerfing everything because then the game will be very unenjoyable. And frankly I think a majority of players are sick of seeing “NERF THIS NERF THAT” threads.

And no one asked you to read it or post in it. In doing so without adding any context only makes you a troll.

It's not at all. It's just a cold reality... And it's coming to a class you care about soon.

This is the exact same boat I'm in with one caveat, my magsorc is my only toon, the only one I have time for. I don't want to start an alt, absolutely no desire to, thinking about all the leveling, skill points, quests, etc... that need to be re-earned (is this a word?) and redone.

Your attitude to this is why most have a right to be upset with this change.
Hope your class gets nerfed as well.

While I am not thrilled about the change on the pts there is no logic with what OP is suggesting. Cutting ones nose off to spite ones face is never good.

Do you realize that I'm a sorc main? Do you realize I made this thread? Changes the context a little doesn't it?

No it's more like cutting of your neighbors hand and him coveting the spare you have
