This already is a nerf for blockcasters. Because they cannot blockcast forever like they used to do. And if they cannot block while casting, they are vulnerable. Finally, was so sick of this blockcasting thing.They just stand in front of you, blocking and spaming whips.

Staff users still block cast and never run of mag. They might run out of stam now, but that's not their bread and butter like it would be for say a DW NB.
I just honestly don't think it's an unreasonable request because I feel like with this change, they're really knocking stam users back to like it was in the old days.

1st is that supposedly ZOS wants to make tanking more interactive? plainly speaking ZOS claims tanking is boring. This is completely false just like the lie PVPers who advocate for this change, are repeating over and over again. Tanking is nothing near boring. It will be boring only if the player who is tanking decides to play that way or makes himself that way.
1% of ESO community, blase elite, gross on CP and best gear will declare that tanking is boring (including DPS PVP builds who will just advocate this change for the kicks and lolz). They completly ignore that beside their own "Me, myself" there is 99% of community left, players who just started game, are playing game and didnt lose their teeths on grinding CP.
What happens when ZOS listens to that 1%? Insane ubernerfs like 0 stam regen happen.
There is no problem when ZOS adds difficult content to satisfy top end players.
There is problem when ZOS decides to break game for whole ESO tanking community, just to satisfy 1%
2nd false reason is that supposedly permablocking, permacasting tanks are OP in PVP cant be killed and deal too much damage and they should be nerfed. Its false once again, because people in PVP see someone with sword and board and they declare "DIS MUST BE TANK, NERF HIM"
When a DPS build puts on sword and board, he is not magically becoming tank. He is still a DPS with just sword and board, a fake tank. ZOS just decided, that instead of finding source of problem (damage output while with 1 hand and shield, limiting change just to cyriodiil or PVP battles) they will just ubernerf everyone who use shield to block.
This is already a huge nerf to any magicka build that did not use S&B. it makes most blocking pointless.
