Do you think they should get rid of shields for sorcerers?

You have to admit though magic sorcerers are too good with shields... @Moonshadow66
Maybe when they also have Vigor on the bar.. which I don't.
ZOS nerfs nightblades cloak but not sorcerers far superior shields... If you are a magic sorc you do not have to die, just spam you harden ward. That is OP and doesn't require any skill at all. Shields need a change ASAP. Quit being biased and realize the truth. I play all classes and am not biased towards any of them. @Moonshadow66
I'm not biased, I just don't use the shields all too often (I don't PvP, so it's not really necessary, tbh). And when I do/did, they are not soooo OP as it looks like; it's not that Sorcerers have millions of Magicka to constantly spam shields to keep them up.
I play all classes as well, but I also don't even use Cloak anymore on my NBs (no PvP, no need for Cloak).
For the players who DO use Cloak though, it sucks that it gets nerfed (or removed even?).
@Moonshadow66
Well I see why you don't think shields are OP because you mainly play pve. I play mostly pvp and sorcs can get up to 40k magic np and spam shields all day.Moonshadow66 wrote: »Moonshadow66 wrote: »Moonshadow66 wrote: »Ok, start playing a Sorcerer, then ask this question again.

✭✭Sorcs with vigor? For what the heal they can't cast once they've dodged like twice? L2dps 2 hits and most sorcs shields are gone and some. Burst damage and a knockdown or stun and they are gone for. Not hard at all. Plenty of stam players know how to rek sorcs instantly. Not hard at all. No shield = no sorcs then no trial completions or harder dungeons. Not like running WGT is easy with other classes.PC Master Race

I'm done L2P.
im StamBlade bro..i dont care about sorcerers lol..i dislike magicka users in general and i play stam classes...for me sorcerers pose biggest challenge in PvP..mag sorcs that is..and i still think its a dumb idea removmg shields or making them the way you suggested

✭✭✭✭✭No don't be stupid, and stop suggesting nerfsNo. They shouldn't get rid of anything in the game.
They just need to continue balance iterations to bring everything in line and remind people their class/build can't be the counter to literally every other class/build.@Turelus - EU PC Megaserver

dlepi24✭✭✭✭No don't be stupid, and stop suggesting nerfsThey shouldn't take them out, but they definitely need reworked. I could be wrong, but didn't all of this come from a "band-aid fix" for the shield interface glitches? They should have fixed that issue instead of just making them stackable like they are now.0 -

I couldn't agree more (I craft all potions myself, though, but I sell flowers, at least^^)
And yeah, the knockback resist potions are priceless, that's the main potion I'm using for my stamina characters (Columbine, Mountain Flower, Namira's Rot = Restore Health and Stamina plus gives knockback resistence). No one could complain about these, I guess

✭✭Shield nerfs no.
Shield changes yes.
Changes that could work. Put shields into major minor system.
And also buff up HA so shields are no longer the best and only defense in the game.0 -
Lenikus✭✭✭✭✭No don't be stupid, and stop suggesting nerfsYou guys forget that while shield stacking is annoying, while the guy is in this 'unkillable damage mitigation instance', the damage he can deliver is pretty much negligible. Soo yea. it doesn't mean the class is op, it means you won't get your 800 ap from him for a while.... Mai cave. >:30 -

Yes, that's why I mainly PVP with my NB rather than Sorc. Already been nerfed so many times , lets nerf it more so that Cyro would be no 80 % of NB but 99.99 %. Hey grab Shield Breaker , ZOS made it easy mode for people like you to deal with shields.0 -
Mivryna✭✭✭No don't be stupid, and stop suggesting nerfsAs others have said, if Nightblades can stealth, Templars can heal like crazy, and Dragon Knights have a whole slew of defensive abilities, I should get to keep my ward.no they are a unique skill and give sorcerers there class identity. What I think hardened ward should do is apply a minor health reduction when the shield is up. That way players can kill the sorc easier when the sorcs shields are down.
The only way my ward is useful is if I focus exclusively on Magicka. That means I already have minimal health and armor. And because of the way spillover damage works, a good hit at low ward could mean that none of my armor matters.Edited by Mivryna on February 12, 2016 4:21PM1 -
