are you reffering to sorcerers shields? because, i dont know about PvE, but, right now in PvP im seeing sorcerers beating the crap out of people in the campaign im in on Live in Vivec Campaign.
sorcerers are dominating and show zero signs of weakness like what you describe.
Pvp community saw this coming a mile away. Alcast made a video about enchantments weeks ago on the PTS and it's been passed around all the pvp discords. Unfortunately ZoS has this policy to not make changes to patch notes until the next hotfix. Makes me wonder why we even have a PTS and why they are so incompetent they didn't see this coming - or even worse, didnt care.
But for those who dont know enchantments now proc off of weapon ability dots, including bleeds as well as procing on the backbar. Which means double infused torugs gives you a 1 second cooldown guaranteed proc on each enchant. Twin slashes, swap bar, carve. With oblivion damage enchants its basically triple sloads.
I think I see what you guys are getting at. We'll reduce swift by 1%, increase the cost of healing ward by 20% to add counterplay and reduce the bonus damage from stinging slashes by 1.
