Can we crit shields?

Even if they just change it to be critable, set the overflow bug is fixed (although I really doubt it is as dangerous as sorcs describe, because I have a much weaker shield than you and never had noticeable issues with that bug and also never saw a real proof that it exists) the shield is still a good aditional defense and Iwould totally use it if I had a high lvl sorc (which will definitely be the case soon because sorcs are still op af in my opinion)
Shields now allow a bunch of sets to proc, including Nerien and Skoria. I think this can be considered a nerf.
Crit immunity always made shields special and somewhat unique. If shields would be critable, probably everyone would stack crit and then you shield haters would suffer the same, because there is nothing limiting crit builds anymore and many people would come up with this.
In fact, I already had my crit build prepared when they first talked about the crit shield thing.
This was about time because on life your shields are a counter to anything templars and Dks do.
I have no problem with more crit in pvp my nb is waiting with 70-80% crit
The only one having problems with crits is you sir because you would loose some of your opness
I'm no sir and no, I would have no problems
Because I'm rerolling Magicka Nightblade. Would be foolish if I didn't
So if you are rerolling a nb why do you still defend sorc shields?
What do you want to give sorcs if you take away their class defense ability?
So quick to yell nerf when not all sorc builds have high-cheese shields.
Where did I or someone else in this treat write that you should take away sorc shields?
We just want it to be crit and dotable because it negates a lot of possible builds and almost a whole class: Dks who rely on dots for dps
You can keep your shield value but make it scale of health too so stam sorcs do have a defense too
Your heals should scale off HP and not magicka either then. BoL for 3k heals please.
Okay no problem if blazing shield scales from my max magicka thenPC,EU, EP

Springt-Über-Zwerge✭✭✭✭And if you can read you should keep your shield value. My suggestion just makes it viable for stam sorcs too and you have the option to use more life for more surviveability like all other classes tooPC,EU, EP

jrkhan✭✭✭Very disappointed by this lack of change. I was looking forward to actually having a reliable 'life tap' in the form of crit surge/crit rush. When 60% of your targets are rocking 5-digit damage shields (and near 100% in group play) its really disappointing.
I think shields could be better balanced by having flat damage mitigation (25%) but allowing them to be crit.
Overall damage taken would be about the same but really make crit surge healing reliable - as well as allowing shields to occasionally be burst down.
I believe many are underesting how much of a positive change critable shields would be in enabling alternative sorc builds based on crit surge.1 -

Ahh, was going to say haha.
They said they were going to hold off on allowing shields to be crit to see how the changes to the Battle Spirit buff (which significantly nerfed shields) played out.
Curious. I thought the math ended up balancing out to only a 5% nerf to shields?
No the nerf is significantly more relative to where 1.6 is.Permanently banned from the forums for displaying dissent: ESO - The Year Behind

@Ezareth
I PM'd you my initial findings because it would be inappropriate to post them here.
