2.1=Sorcs OP, Dead Stamina NB1- 50% shields but 50% & 50% all dmg nerf.
This means that the ttk will be higher while sorcs keep the same efective ratio on their shields, longer time to regenerate magica & recast shields when necesary. NB burst dead, a suposed key feature of the class.
2- Nirhoned nerf.
This means that sorcs will continue to have high spell res due to their light armor tree pasives, heavy armor will continue to have high spell&phys resistance and the most affected will be medium armor users due to no pasive in the medium armor tree that increases spell and/or phys res, mediocre resistance to both spells & phys attacks = paper to both sorcs and phys attacks and 0 burst to compensate because point 1.
3- Dodge roll nerf.
Instead of nerfing the gear that makes posible for a few players to perma-dodge, the only thing they can do is annoy btw, you nerf the key feature of medium armor.
Dodging allows you to move how far? 5 meters? How far does Bolt scape allow sorcs to move?
Dodge roll is a skill? NO. Bolt scape IS.
Dodge roll stuns or damage oponent? Bolt scape does.
Is perma-roll avaliable to all classes? Yes. And bolt scape? No.
So you are nerfing a mechanic extremely tied to a type of armor, sorcs have shields, stamina NB had dodge, but you are comparing a mitigation mechanic with a all-in-one skill that is Bolt scape.
Im rolling 2-3 times in a row, strategic reasons, not even close a perma-roller, using the pasives as intended and i will be punished for nothing.
4- Shield stacking.
So Sorcs can stack Shields but can NB stack Dodge chane? NO, Evasion (Medium armor) does not stack with Blur (NB) nor with Specter set (8-trait crafted set)... Shield stacking is ok but dodge stacking not.
5- Shealth medium armor bonus? Detect potion / Mage light.
6- Regenerate magica while runing / moving shealthed ? No problem.
Regenerate Stamina while runing / moving shealthed AND NOW blocking? No Way.
And on and on and on... just because a bunch of QQ noob sorcs get owned like they should, instead of watching some mainstream youtube tutorials or simply LTP... just like making Vigor rank 5, removing any pride left in earning you ranks.
Know you gona destroy Medium armor in PvP if you push live those changes, and ill cancel my sub, not that it may matter to you ZoS to have 1 less subscriber, but hey, ill feel much better not suporting the joke medium armor NB is gonna be.
The game was pretty balanced, 2.1 is gonna be a total mess... Oh and the "dont worry cos we adding shield penetration gear" its crap, totally crap to have to gear against shields and a terribaaad solution, more of a "patch" than a real balance.
Haha lol, you can even find "things" complaining about NB cloack being fixed AFTER amost 2 years to work as it should.... Wtf??!!! how many times can a Stamina NB cloack before runing out of magica???!!!.
Here, for you fanboys, enjoy your game:
