The concept of "if I'm being nerfed" followed by the dislogic of "others need nerfing too" is sort of inane.
Hey, that's why shields got nerfed in the first place, because others whined about it, so be damn sure that I'll be calling for nerfs to all other abilities I don't use then.
Pretty sure the nerf was because shield stacking is OP and needed balancing.
Yes, shield stacking was, but I don't see a fix to that, do you? All I see is making it more annoying, not fixing it.R.I.P. Daranth Spellborn

Actually it is sort of a fix.
It makes it not very worthwhile to shield stack and definitely reduces offensive output if they still choose to.1 -

But it's still a very lazy and dumb way to fix it, I never shield stacked, yet I get punished for it. Should we put a blanket nerf on all heals if one heal overperforms too? Or shall we just nerf all damage abilities because some are doing too much damage? As that's what they did here.R.I.P. Daranth Spellborn

I'm OK as long as it is 100% chance of not being hit like your shield is

Breath of Life was nerfed last patch because in one specific scenario the 1%ers could get broken results. Also they just nerfed healing again, No more healing if you don't have direct line of sight. Soooo.....
Edit: All skills are subject to balance updates, be happy they only reduced the duration while at the same time buffing Annulment.Edited by AfkNinja on April 26, 2016 3:28PM1 -

It is a lazy fix though, they could have made shield overwrite each other instead or a major/minor system, but no, they took the easy and lazy way out instead. Instead of fixing the problem at it's source, they just put a band aid on it and called it fixed.Edited by cosmic_niklas_93b16_ESO on April 26, 2016 3:31PMR.I.P. Daranth Spellborn

They kinda always do if you look over old patch notes.
Still, being immortal for 6-8 seconds isn't bad. With three shields available and one giving you magic back you're still quite tanky. I agree though recasting buffs constantly is not fun.0 -

Yeah, I know, I just wish that the devs would actually care about the game instead of just milking it for all it's worth and then drop it the second it's not profitable anymore. R.I.P. Daranth Spellborn

mmh my harness magicka is bugged, it only mitigates 7k damage and not all damages for 6 seconds. @ZOS fix please!~retired~
