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

    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 :s

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.
