Now that shields are getting a balance pass, can please change shieldbreaker to work only with melee attacks? shield breaker light attack spam with bow is probably the must broken an annoying thing in this game for any class that use shields, specially sorcs.
shield breaker works with any shield, not only with stacked shields. You can't play a magika sorc withouth at least 1 or 2 shields.
I play a magicka Sorc.
- In PvP I only used Hardened Ward, and it can still be spammed just as before.
- In PvE, unless I am running with a group I am not as familiar with, and therefore to not have the trust and confidence in, I do not even use Hardened Ward. I will slot Harness Magicka for very specifics fights, but that is it.
Shield Breaker serves its purpose. If shield stacking wasn't a thing, then such a set would likely never have been introduced. Besides, it is not a counter Sorc set. It is a meta changing set, and at the time zergs popping barrier was a huge problem.
Just my opinion, but the set should stay. I highly doubt you encounter it all that often, and when you do I guess you will just have to accept that Sorcs can die just like any other toon.
