Blazing Shield PvP Performance

Koolio

So they fixed a bug with this skill and I was wondering if anybody has tried it now.

Should I build for 100% health?

Maybe resistances since it does damage based on damage taken.

I ran one for a week right before they nerfed it way back. Joust looking for insight

Although they fixed a bug, the nerf they did to both the shield size and the dmg per shield has made it lackluster... rak was doing less than half the dmg he used to do with it.

Damn that’s disappointing. Really would like to see that spec work. Does he use forums?

Could you tag him if possible?

Blazing shield is still not worth using, even full on blazing shield tanks with 70k+ hp are doing diddly squat for damage with the skill. At this point I think they should completely rework the skill or just replace it with something else like they did blinding flashes.

mag scaled blazing seems to be getting hype. Would be nice to have a shield for magplar so we don't have to rely on BOL all the time.

But with necro getting purge/rez/major vulnerability/major defile/unrepentable corpses , I think I want blinding flashes back lol.

Every time you remind about Blinding Light, a Templar dies somewhere.

Honestly think it should be made into a stamina shield

I know people ask for that, but I don't see it: harness magicka already does that and that's the same thing sorcerers have: a double dip of homogeneity.

The skill should just be redesigned to actual provide a meaningful defense.

So... blinding flashes confirmed?

Mr_Nobody

Just a reminder. We guys did not even NOT get flashes back, nor fixed any of the bugs, nor gave any actual buffs, nor improved or changed any of the skills to the positive side... they nerfed us again, hueheuheuhehue

RIP gankplar 2019

Drdeath20

At this point why not just nuke the entire class. Yeah theres like 3 great skill morphs a couple ok morphs but then theres just crud.

Something to be confirmed. Even the in-game lore wants us to have a self-buff protection that impacts players in addition to our shield:
"As a form of armor, Stendarr's gift may take the form of a diffuse aura that surrounds the righteous, mitigating the attacks of the abominable, or it may focus into an almost-palpable shield to ward off a specific threat." - Aura of the Righteous

You guys are crazy, i still do great on my templar solo and small group. Ive even been playing thebuild ill be using next patch to work on rotation and test, and it's only getting buffed next patch. Not 1 part of it gets nerfed.

You keep hitting targets that stand still? If so, yea, then magplar is good!

Baconlad

Magplar is good against idiots...but every class is. Problem is even against total *** outnumbered it's still difficult to get off backbar

I mean...atleast we have a solid backbar defense...tell a stamplar to tank it out on his backbar roflmao

Feanor

Well, Blinding Flashes was a tad overturned .
