Can we make class shields even?

Right now there is a big disparity in class damage absorption shields and a lot of it is due to what resource pool they scale from. Sun Shield and Obsidian Shield (and their various morphs) scale off health where as Conjured Ward ( and it's morphs) not to mention non-class shields like Steadfast Ward and Annulment scale off magicka. This allows sorcerers specifically to double dip benefits by scaling up their defenses the more they increase their offense and resource spending power, where as the other class absorption shields are forced to either have weak/sub par shields in order to increase their resource allocation pool (actually have the juice to perform actions) or increase their health to beef up their shields, but then have little resources to perform actions.

As Conjured Ward is the only class shield that is not scaling off health, how about that get changed to be in line with the other shields, and if you wanted to change the non class shields to work off health as well, I think that would be good as well. Alternatively, if you don't want to go that route, then switch Sun Shield and Obsidian Shield over to scale off magicka as well. As it is, sorcerers can increase their defense substantially while ALSO allowing them to be able to spam the shield over and over again pretty much infinitely because everything is based around one resource pool, but the other shield classes are forced to split their resource pools preventing them from ever achieving any similar sort of level. This magicka based scaling on shields is also the cause of the very often mentioned topic of shield stacking.

In short, either make all the shields scale health or make them all scale off magicka. There have been many attempts to "fix" the shield stacking problem, which results in continued hammers to the class shields, but as long as this fundamental difference is there, you're just going to destroy the health based shields while only scratching the magicka ones. Having played a Templar for a very long time, I am rather unhappy that not only is the true source of the issue not being addressed, but yet am seeing double reductions in skills (Blazing shield which not only is losing shield absorption, but also is having it's damage reduced, so that instead of doing 50% reduced damage, it's doing 25% reduced damage...seriously...wtf). Please fix this, thank you.

    Hardened Ward isn't the issue, Healing Ward is. Healing Ward scales off of health not Magicka. If anything healing ward is too strong which is why all Magicka NBs and Sorcs are so hard to kill right now when they're spamming that.

    No instead sorcerers get bolt escape, increasing mobility and giving the ability to get out of bad situations more quickly, similar to how nightblades get Shadow Cloak. In some situations it's more ideal and useful than heals, less so in others. Damage absorption shields however are in three classes, yet one class is scaling from a different source from the other two and it creates a problem. So level the playing field at least in terms of how the game mechanics are working.

    That's funny because I killed every single sorc that tried bolt escaping away from me last night...it was pathetically easy. Bolt Escape is no longer an escape. Once they bolt 5 times I know they're virtually OOM.

    Okay... well I always kill blinking Sorcs.
    I will never understand, why people don't get it. What do you think, why Sorcerers shield scales of Magicka ? Because he is a mage, he has no self heal so he needs better protection ?

    What do you think, why DKs and Templars shield scales of health ? Because they have strong self heals and don't need a strong shield. But Templar tanks need a strong shield, because their self heals are less effective when they have high health but low Magicka. So their shield scales of Health.
    Same goes for DK, both classes are excellent tanks.

    jep the 300% shield increasement needs to be changed into a 300% heal increasement in pvp (keep it as it is in pve)

    Bolt Escape is not a perfect defense anymore, which is the same with healing. How many times have you killed people that used a heal? Probably a hell of a lot. Healing and mobility don't guarantee wins or always surviving, they simply help. I get that sorcerers want to have their cake and eat it too, which is fine, just make sure that this option is there for the other classes which also have shields. As long as ZOS makes the mechanic work the same for all the classes, I don't really care either way.

    It's there. Harness Magicka and Steadfast Ward.
    And on top of that, you have your excellent class heals and your own class shield also helps. Stop being greedy please.
    You could have it all, but refuse to use it. Not ZoS' fault

    No. The pet is very buggy and the heal is a channel that happens over a few seconds and is much weaker and lackluster than any other heal in the game. We're talking about REAL, direct heals that you can use all the time and they heal yourself for a large amount. Sorcerer has no access to such heals in his class arsenal.

    Sorcerer has combat regeneration with Blood Magic and Surge (under given circumstances only) but not self heal compareable to Templar and DK heals.
    If the pet would heal more frequently, for a larger amount, with a smaller cooldown and wouldn't require the Sorcerer to be under 35% health (and believe me, even then it mostly doesnt heal because it is just buggy) Then I would say yes, Sorcerer has an interesting heal.

    It's not a cry to nerf sorcerers, it's a request to fix a mechanic to a game ability that is being implemented unevenly to all the classes with it. Keep in mind when "nerfs" like damage shield reductions and what not get passed out by ZOS that effects all the classes, but the scaling source is a key factor. Even ZOS realizes that as they changed ultimates and a number of "stamina" based class skills to scale using something other than magicka. If Conjured Ward gets scaled to health like all the other class shields, that simply means that sorcerers that want to have greater survival might actually have to spend points in something other than magicka...like the other classes do. If you are going to push everything into magicka and spell power, that's what folks in the old days called the "glass cannon". It's a viable build, but it has it's drawbacks. Just because every sorcerer has been running around for months and months as "tankmages" doesn't mean when the mechanics are equalized they are just going to be free kills...unless of course those players are terrible and have been solely relying on disproportionate mechanics. In which, case, they will learn how to adjust and play better over time.

    We are not saying that shields should be nefed into the ground but since templars and Dks can't block anymore it's just fair to look at your shields ;)

    We could. It would be easy. ZOS already set the templates up with minor and major buffs/debuffs. We could even change how they work. Shields you from % of damage for example.

    But do we want to? It makes sense for it to scale with how powerful you are. Same as damage, with ability and power factored in.

    That's because of the pvp debuff. Blood Magic has been nerfed from 8% to 4% (not that it was usefull on live)

    People, Sorcerer has the strongest shield for a reason ! When will you finally stop complaining about it ? Sorcerer would be dead, if the shield would scale of Health and other classes would be extremeeeely overpowered if their shield scale of Magicka in addition to their strong defense and self heals.

    Like a lot of ppl already said the problem is sorcs can just stack magicka and gain damage and defense at the same time while all others have to decide between more damage or more sustain

    So ok healing ward right which scales off magic so as a dk or temp you put all points in magic it makes your healing ward better but still have a crappy 3k shield where as if your a sorc you have double the shields.Also as dk or temp your still standing in the open somewhere.But you know this.All i see is sorcs that know theyre op trying to keep themselves op.Havnt seen a valid argument yet.L2p.....

    DOES EVERYONE KNOW THAT HARDENED WARD IS CURRENTLY BUGGED AND GIVING TOO MUCH SHIELD???? If not then shut up. All of these people basing their opinions on currently bugged abilities is annoying. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! Healing Ward is bugged too and shielding too much.

    The templar's shield deals damage (despite how much it was nerfed) and the dk's shield is cast on allies as well. Is that a point to note or is it just "sorc's spam shields too much"?

    jep no one is mentioning the 10man group situation

    have 10 dks cast their shields = 30k+ shields on everybody
    have 10 sorc cast their shield = 10-15k on everbody

    @Tankqull ummm what? Since when do my shields (sorc) affect my allies lol are you trolling or being serious? If being serious, please stop spreading misinformation.....
