@Jar_Ek @Emma_Eunjung , im not saying a ward keeps an execution from proccing, but by the time u eat the ward away a sorc will have bolted away ,popped a pot or given theirself skme form of heal if their not stupid... And as far as ur saying with stam sorcs thats a whole diffrent thing. Obviously a atam sorc ward is weak as hell and a stam sorc shouldnt even run ward , its based off magicka. For the record i think stam sorcs should get a morph for dps somewhere.. And magicka sorcs need something done, idc what anyone says the wards are too strong. Make em crit or drop their total a bit less, we have all seen endless sorc duels where noone even gets past sheilds. Most sorcs are pure dps but they are fine just taking damage. Im sure most of you have watched a sypher stream and 3 or 4 people are in melee range dps-ing him and he doesnt even streak away, no this "glass cannon" build just stands their reapplying wards. Noone acheiving that much dps should b able to mitigate that much damage as well.

Those "endless sorc duels" you're talking about are dedicated PvP builds who are using Hardened Ward and the Resto staff's Healing Ward in tandem. They use Hardened Ward to buy time for the Healing Ward bubble to pop. I can't do that with my dual Destro sewer grinding build or my Destro/DW Maelstom build.

Nerfing sheilds by 50% already screwed most Sorcs in PvP, but nerfing Hardened Ward on top of that would destroy our class in PvE, too. I wouldn't mind if they nerfed shield stacking by introducing a "major/minor" system for wards, but if they touch the actual shield strength, my Sorc is finished.
