This is in fact not an anecdote. an anecdote is defined as. : a usually short narrative of an interesting,
amusing, or biographical incident.
So again not an anecdote at all.
Also none of what I originally mentioned was in the least bit anecdotal it was in fact just the plain simple truth of the matter.
What you said was 100% anecdotal. I agree with you on the issue, but to claim that your post was not 'in the least bit anecdotal' when the post was literally just an anecdote is a little absurd.

More accurately, two of their abilities.
1. Shield spam. Unlimited magicka = unlimited shields = unlimited health.
2. Bolt escape. Yeah...bolt escape.
I have no issue with their burst potential, as I feel they should be capable of such.
ZOS. Play your game. Purge your inept staff. Balance this fiasco.

A contradiction.
When you're presenting arguments and you start pointing at particular cases (such as your personal experience) for evidence, its anecdotal.

Sorcs are out of control... The shields are insane. The magicka never ends somehow. I've fought several today where I dealt 0 dps the entire fight.
I also watched an entire zerg chase a sorc for over 5 minutes across the map never to drop him below 90% health.
Sorcs corny. No way around it.

If that is true, sounds like Sorcs need some balance changes.

Are crazy? Sorcs are very strong in PvP.
Anyways. I don't care about shield stacking, it just takes practice and timing to counter it. What I don't like is more and more sorcs are starting to use a known exploit because they are realizing ZoS doesn't punish cheaters.

So what is the real issue here: the high magicka pool of that sorcerer or the low IQ pool of the raid that would waste 5 minutes chasing a single enemy player?

and noone thought to drop combat, mount up, get ahead and CC the sorc? In all of 5 minutes?

it was not a short narrative, rather it was a list of facts. a narrative is a story a story has a beginning a middle and an end. It also has a plot and characters. since my briefed list of facts had none of these things there was no narrative. If the was no narrative there was no anecdote.
Please if you are going to argue definitions please make sure you are using a dictionary so you can be certain that you are correct. Also I wonder why you had no valid arguments against my counterargument to your post? could it be you have no evidance to support your nerf thread?

Oh my, an entire zerg chasing one Sorcerer? Sounds anecdotal to the point of being a fairy tale to me.

-Attack there stamina, they have minimal if they are magicka specced. cc them whenever the swirly stuff is off of there feet. they can cc break only twice or roll dodge only twice.
-burst there bubble, a big burst will leave the the sorc unshielded and easily finishable.
-outlast there damage, stack shields yourself, magicka harness, healing ward for magicka build, or roll dodge for stam (negating 90% of incoming sorc damage as only curse and detonation are the only thing a sorc can use to bypass dodge roll atm.)
any combination of these moves will kill a sorc, if he runs, dont waste your stamina sprinting after him because thats what he wants, to make you low on stats to own you.
the people who do kill sorcs, (as i do die all the time as a sorc) use a combination of any of these tactics, this is an obvious l2p issue and again another person starting a thread with the wrong title.

Sorc is pretty OP in PVP, 13k odd crystal shards and bolt escaping like no tomorrow.
