How are Sorcs getting 95% shields again?

Since the new DLC came out, I've noticed sorcs in non-cp with massive shields. We're talking 95%. How is this possible again? Example would be observing a sorc not in combat or blocking for psijiic shield, sitting there with a one click shield refresh--shields weren't being stacked 1 after the other.

Are there gear sets that augment shields or give a, I'm just standing there doing nothing shield?

Thanks

    2 different shields cast one after the other, or barrier.

    @Gaggin is right ... or 3-4 shields with Sorc shield, healing ward, barrier, and proc shield like Brands of the Imperium. ;)

    After which you can only see a roaming oval object ... and not a PvP player.

    It is notpossible with 1 shield. Shield strength is capped to 60% of max hp. You are seeing 2 shields for sure.

    But that's a lot of trouble when mag should be a free kill ...

    Are you complaining about active defense that costs about 10k mag per 6 seconds?

    Yeah everyone say CPs are not balanced, but it's the only thing that allows magicka toons to not get stun locked without gimping your character by using sets just to increase your stamina.

    I am doing my best, but I am not a native speaker, sorry.

    No cp is far more balanced than cp pvp.. Atleast there arent that many idiots running around stones or trees

    No, it is not. On non cp it's just more easily to kill people with zerg.

    It probably has nothing to do with the sustain and mitigation you don’t get for free but have to use sets for in no cp.

    Mitigation? What for? Without CP, the most damaging things are proc sets.
    Been in no-CP couple of times, man. Overwhelming amount of inexperienced players. Of course, that's the point of no acquired long-term benefits. Stop putting yourselves on pedestals. Game is being made for CP, and you're no hero for fleeing it and facing new players.

    If it flatters your ego then keep claiming that everyone good over there is just a noob hunter. Meanwhile I'm about to play there against other 1000+ cp players whose builds don't get carried by champion points. :*

    Sets don't help that much without attentive resource allocation in noncp. CP is very forgiving.

    Yeah, sustain is a bit harder. But in return, you get to enjoy proc sets. And a lot of your battles can be won by your build, not your skill, because of the unforgiveness you mentioned.
    Pick your poison, I guess. Broken CP or set/build carries. But claiming to be on high ground because you play no-CP is just silly.

    That implies that high CP means being proficient at PvP or even at all. Investing time and grinding doesn't make you good, not even at scripted and never changing events like PvE dungeon mechanics, and especially not against real players.
    Somehow I stumble across far more capped players in no CP than I meet low cp players.

    Look, I niether deny that no CP has issues too nor that CP has good players. It just those condescending views like "there are mostly noobs in no CP" that irks me.

    Because CP players have to deal with non-CP players always yelling from the rooftops how much more skilled they are and how CPs are a crutch.
    There are arguments for both sides. And I'm aware there are experienced, even good players in no-CP. From my personal experiences, however, there are also a lot new players. Which is to be expected, it is a beginner-friendly mode that you can jump in right after starting the game, which is good.
    Yes, CP are a bit odd right now, but removing them for PvP is not the answer. PvE is made for CPs, so there it goes. They just need a bit tuning. And for no-CP, the whole resource thing is not as bad as people like to sell it. With a sustain or hybrid set and sustain-stat food like Witchmother's, you're mostly fine. If anything, the stam issue for mag builds is way more imbalanced here.
    What I'm trying to say is that no one should look down on the other PvP mode. Lately, there has been a push in the community towards no-CP flexing, and I consider it inappropriate. I personally don't like no-CP and will happily overexaggerate my points why if I get the aforementioned vibe. That is all. Both modes have purpose, both modes have good and bad players, both modes have good and bad aspects. Just don't take it personally, I don't mean it.
    ...unless you're a Nightblade. Then you need nerfing and a whooping!
