You mean shield which strength depends from your HP, don't reflect ranged attacks, with small damage radius when it ends, gloving like Christmas tree and do insane dmg only when it's bugged?

Sorry, if you can't handle non bugged Blazing shield- l2p!!! Even holding distance and spamming Lava whip(I assume OP is Dk) is enough to counter blazing shield without taking any damage from it.

Is it your mom?

Who said DK is OP here except you?

Dear, should I copy paste? Instant 30% health shield that lasts 6 seconds. This means you can use this skill, do all the things you want until the shield is up (examples: block and casting, spamming aoes, using ranged attacks, escape, eat a sandwich) and then recast it.
The damage part isn't that much important, that's why I put that in another sentence, duh.
If magicka regen was interrupted with the shield up or even if the skill wasn't instant (so interruptible) it wouldn't be a bad designed skill.

Read the sentence with "OP" in it again OP= Overpowered or (like in this case) original poster. "Dk is OP" and "OP is DK" have completely different meaning. And I said about DK simple because they lack ranged skills.

And now for the shields. Every *** shield in game are insta cast. There are no shield which forbids you to attack or defend. Reflective scale, Obsidian shield, Sun shield, Annulment, Bone shield. All those shields allow you to do whatever you want. All shields or their morphs do damage, except for annulment.

Only "shield" which forbids to cast or block, while it's active, is Mist form.

And please point at any other shield which won't allow you to regenerate magicka?

Focus on the miscomprehension and i'm sure we'll have a constructive discussion.
Anyway.
Obsidian shield and annulment aren't as powerful as sun shield, obviously.
Bone shield synergy on allies is actually 60% health shield and well.. See the problems of shields above. But it's a synergy at least.

Blazing shield used to stop magicka regen, but genius of balancing studios (ZOS), removed that because people here were complaining that DKs were too powerful and templars were the weak class that needed buffs. Some people still think that actually.
If a damage dealer gets in a fight with a templar with that skill, he can't do anything about it. They can cast it again and again and there's no counter.
If there was a cast time, even of 1 sec, at least he could interrupt or something, but nope.
"Range" they say, but I don't think the templar will just stand still.

I don't even play a templar and I feel like I need to step in here... If we compare it to the shield that DK gets it is just slightly stronger ( at the lvl of my dragonknight I get a shield that is 26% of my health, which it scales with hp so I am thinking it should be similar at higher lvls). And affects more then just the caster (others would get 13% of my health atm) What stops a DK from spamming that shield in comparison? The same thing that stops a templar, mana. Rather the templar will be using his mana for attacks if he is magicka build, or he will have a smaller mana pool if he is a stamina build.

If they are keeping up this shield (which is not affected by blocking or armor) then they will still be burning through their mana. If they are combinding it with annulment then hopefully you brought some non magicka skills to destroy the shield fast .

And I don't think the magicka regen was removed for any reason that involved DK's. It was removed around the time that soft caps were increased and then would of created a huge nerf for the skill if kept the way it was (maybe could of lowered how much you regen if it was viewed as to strong.)

With the whole thing about range... this is a soft lock system, templars moving around mean very little as long as you can keep them in range. you might have a claim if we were talking about games where it didn't trace to enemies once you start casting...

I think biggest problem isn't with Blazing shield but fact that everyone were used to steamroll over templars. And only change for that spell, since beginning of game, is that it now allows to regen magicka while casted.

If there weren't bug, which gave abnormal damage, I doubt that there would be so much whine threads.
