Shields new changes

killmove

I think this is a bad move from ZOS as they can't assume their decisions.
Shields are game breaking for about 3 years. Now that a good change seems to came, they lost their balls in front of players.
Don't you understand that they don't represent the whole population and because of them most of other players are disgusted of PvP.

Adding a cast time to shields and make it impossible to interrupt wont change anything.
Guess what ??? Sorcs will now cast healing ward and then after cast Conjured Ward and Annulment.

@ZOS_GinaBruno : please look at this

Except this changes nothing for pve where this might make it impossible to survive certain mechanics now.

Dude, if i can survive pve as stamplar i think sorcs can too. otherwise they are bad players.
One dude managed to solo vCOS on his Magsorc in PTS, just posted that on reddit today.

Also, i canceled my subscription and i won't activate it for this pvp shield broken game.

Stamplars have a shield, higher resistances, and 25% aoe mitigation. It's not the best comparison. The situations i'm talking about are times when magicka needs to shield and block like starfall in vHrc and, to a lesser extent, defiling blast in vAs.

no stamplar don't shield (the sun shield is a joke now because of the nerf), high resistance ? no still in medium armor.
25% aoe mitigation ? they don't stay long in an AOE.

want to improve block, make the passive applies also for inferno and lightining staff instead of only frost staff.

The shield just got better with getting major protection on cast, you have higher resistances than in light armor, and in the situations that I mentioned you can't just move out of the aoe damage which makes the mitigation very useful.

dude you understand those shields are cancer in pvp.
I don't want to go pvp because of that. it's the same for other players.
where is skill in playing an OP class that every noob can wreck other in pvp because of shield and implosion being so OP and so bugged.

why playing other class in pvp then?

Then come up with a change that doesn't impact pve

killmove

Shield cannot be interrupted in pve (mobs/boss can interrupt the cast) but in pvp other players can.

Shield cast cannot be interrupted in pve (mobs/boss cannot interrupt the cast) but in pvp other players can interrupt the cast (a window of 1 sec).

you cant say something is game breaking if its been in pre beta and a factor ever since the origins of this game, i guess cloak is game breaking, i guess fossilize burning talons spam is game breaking.
they literally gave yall every tool under the sun to counter shields
sets, abilities, bleeds, posions, oblivion damage.
PVP Definitely represents a huge portion of player population in this game and its the only reason im here 3/4 years l8tr but after this next patch goes live. peace!

@killmove You should really go play a Sorc in PVP before saying anything more. And I’m sure you’ll enjoy the experience because you will wreck everyone by being so OP.
