Shield breaker counter

Zlater · September 2015

I've seen videos suggesting that the only good counter to the shield breaker set, and while it doesn't kill you using illustrious healing, I don't feel like it's a real counter, because you're not actually doing anything. After a lot of hunting around I wonder if the master sword with S&B would provide a strong enough dell heal and Dps to counter the shield breaker set? I know battle spirit reduces healing recieved but maybe with a bit of regen this might be enough to keep you alive while doing dps. I think you only need enough to force a Nb to cloak or go defensive. I would test it but I haven't got the drop yet. If you want a bunch of master Ice staves though. xD

If you are a sorcerer: power surge (heals on crits) + quick siphon morph (last skill from resto staff, heals each time you attack the target, instant cast morph)

If magicka nb : also quick siphon from resto tree + swallow soul (strife morph), gives decent heal-over-time and 8% more healing from morph, 8% Max magicka from passives (more magicka, better heal) and I think there is a passive in siphoning tree that gives increased healing too. And it's so cheap.

Works wonder, add some cc and line-of-sight to that.
Some championpoints into "Blessed" and "Quick recovery" also helps.

These are the counters I've played around with on My sorc & magicka nb.

My dks and templar don't rely on dmg shields to stay Alive.

Haha I think that's a really great suggestion. I play usually as a sorc, I love using my S&B for the passives and the reflect

I hadn't considered quick siphon though, I do love the skill on my templar however, siphon and jabs is epic
