Instead of continually nerfing Sorcs....

Just balance all class based shields in the game to be on par with them..

Or just buff the bone shield in the Undaunted skill line so that all classes have a viable option...


Bone Shield
Cast Time
Instant
Target
Self
Duration
5 seconds
Cost
3410 Stamina

Compared to:

Conjured Ward
Cast Time
Instant
Target
Area
Radius
20 meters
Duration
20 seconds
Cost
3166 Magicka

This suggestion seems like a no brainer and it will bring balance back some in pvp and in vMA....

We have been told that Templars and DKs will be receiving class buffs, imo this should be one of the top priorities...

Thanks for the read, Happy New Year!

    Yea BE/streak got nerfed, but when ppl say "my shields got nerfed by 50%" I go crazy. What did you expect, dmg reduced by 50%, but shields stay at 100%, are you crazy?! But then again, what else can you expect from sorcs, their OPnes went so far, that they think they got nerfed even when ZOS nerfs something across the board.

    Pretty much this.Sorcs really wasn't nerfed at all their still pretty powerful.Don't forgot Dodgeroll also got a cost increase which effects all stam builds not just one Magica build in the game.Also if you still don't know how to defeat shield breaker that's your problem.

    Well, if you think sorcs are OP, that's your problem, they're in a good spot atm, just need to buff DK's and templars a bit and tone down the forever cloak of NB's with something similar to the BE nerf :)

    OP either doesn't realize or is "forgetting" bone shield is only good for absorbing physical damage vs. all damage for conjured ward. So no, buffing bone shield will not give other classes a shield ability that is on par with conjured ward.

    And this. Really.

    And I'm serious. DO NOT NERF ANYTHING ELSE. Do not nerf sorcs. I don't even play a sorc so this isn't a plea.

    Instead, gently begin to buff up some weaker skills. The key word in that sentence is gently. Ease the up slowly. Do it in the weekly patches. See how it effects gameplay. Fix if necessary.

    When done, congratulate yourself on a balanced game.
    War does not determine who is right - only who is left.

    The heroes during times of war, are nothing but mass murderers during times of peace.

    Okay I read the last 8 PC patch notes an only saw the winged twilight affecting only groups and pet critical getting nerfed and ward unsheathing your weapon. Basically deadric summoning skills which only one of them is good as apposed to templars only offense DKs everything and on PS4 NBs path of darkness 1 second tics with the same damage. yeah it makes PERFECT sense to cry over a small chance reduction to do 500 extra damage because it's making them the worst class in the game...

    Then you can use Harness Magicka + Bone Shield. Every class needs a definition in their way of defense. DKs dragon blood and Wings, Templars BoL, NB stealth, Sorcerers shields. If DKs or NBs want to share their wings or stealth I'll share my shields :D but then we'll all just be the same class on the battlefield.

    Also our dark conversion recieved a MASSIVE nerf last update when they said all they were doing was changing it from a channel to an instant cast... We're talking about a 60% nerf or more for high Magicka pool builds. That one hit me like a rock. But w.e. I adjusted.

    Nerf sorcs. They are suppose to be glass canon class. Not tankiest class with highest burst and cc potential from range. Sorcs are out of control.

    It's easier for devs to bring one class down to others rather than buff multiple class to be on par with one.

In open world pvp it's builds vs build so of course sometime u will get reck by a counter build of your no matter your Classe but I would not be against a nerf to power over load ( I'm a sorc )

    Yeah, why would you make other shields on-par with Conjured Ward? It's a Sorcerer's only in-class defense. Can all the classes have Cloak, too? What about Scales, can everyone get that? Or how about Breath of Life!

    Seriously, stop wanting Ward to be changed. Whatever you do to it will most-likely put Sorcerers in a worse spot.

    Make everything on-par with Conjured Ward? Then you have every class running around with a good damage shield AND their own defense. How would you like a Templar with Conjured Ward spamming Breath of Life?

    To the people who say shields received a reduction along with damage...no they didn't. Damage was already reduced before Imperial City, so shields actually received about a 20% further reduction when compared to damage.
    Nerf sorcs. They are suppose to be glass canon class. Not tankiest class with highest burst and cc potential from range. Sorcs are out of control.

    It's easier for devs to bring one class down to others rather than buff multiple class to be on par with one.

    And DKs are supposed to be the tank class, and Templars the healing class, and Nightblades the stealthy DPS class. Yet many play it how they're not supposed to...because this is ESO, and people don't have to play within predefined roles whenever they pick a class.

    But they either have to nerf 2 classes or buff 2, buff DK's and templars or nerf sorcs and NB's, I'd rather have a buff then :)

No one wears shield breaker except for niche stamina NB. How are non wearing shield breaking magicka classes suppose to beat the tankiest highest burst class in the game.

    Power Overload needs to be fixed...it does less damage than Energy Overload. But if you nerf that then you need to slightly buff Sorc base dmg to compensate, because Overload is mostly how a Sorcerer remains competitive in PvE.

    Yeah, so many people wants to just destroy the sorc class completely, I mean hardened ward is the only defence a sorc got, if they take it away the class is dead. Can we take away all the defence every other class got too then?

    @joshdm2001_ESO Pretty much anyone with half of a brain can counter shields. If you can't then you just don't have the damage, which is mostly your fault and no one else's, since the sets to get the damage you'd need are pretty easy to acquire for both magicka and stamina builds, and you can still build around them for enough regen to sustain.
