Please PleaseIf you get hit by crystal shard, then you are a bad Dragonknight. A Sorcerer can't kill a dragonknight if you don't mess up very very hard.
Dks have the second best health restoration in pvp after templar and the deadliest dps. Sure, your only burst combo is petrify and meteor. But that's enough to kill when you do it right.
To me, Dragonknight is still the most dangerous and annoying opponent after Magicka templars.
I would cry tears of happiness if my force shock would hit for the damage of your lava whip.
What DK could use in terms of pvp, is a bursty ability that they can combine with meteor. Maybe it's just because I am a Sorcerer and get completely countered by DKs. But from my point of view, DK is too strong and needs no buffs at all.
I will start solo pvping my magicka DK soon. Maybe this will change my opinion.
But if DK gets buffed, then scales really need a nerf. Reducing it to 2 seconds, but let it reflect an infinite number of projectiles again.
Sorc/NB/Temp all have parallel offense/survival/internal sustain. We have no parallel internal sustain because we have to hold our ultimates for a wombo combo because we don't have an execute, our survival is health bases and blows, and our damage is low not because of tool tip scales but because we actually have to build for survival and sustain. (helping hands is perpendicular)

At 2 seconds that would be all you could do. It's better at 4 seconds and 4 projectiles than 2 seconds with infinite because you at least have time between to do some manual damage.

Nah, you don't have to do any of this. You are just forcing yourself into this choice.
Magicka DKs are the strongest shield stackers from a magicka perspective. All good Magicka DKs I see use annulment and healing ward. They can go full offense and don't need to worry about anything.
Sure, shields are a joke compared to a DK who builds for tankiness and health. But at least you have some defense while still being offensive.
Are you seriously asking for mDK nerfs right now?It's supposed to be a nerf afterall.

mDK's and sorcs both have access to healing ward and annulment. We don't stack those better than sorcs, they are universal skills. Sorcs do shields better because they can supplement them with mobility whereas the mDK is stationary with their shields taking constant damage. You can't go full offense on the mDK and not worry about anything. Even blobskys vid where he is using shields and light armor isn't full offense. He's wearing seducer because he can't handle our sad lack of sustain.Are you seriously asking for mDK nerfs right now?It's supposed to be a nerf afterall.

Oh honey, I know that magicka sustain is horrible. I am suffering just the same.
At least you have battle roar to compensate a bit.
What I was refering to with besrt shieldstackers (from a magicka perspective) is that you have reflective scales. You can completely negate all projectiles, this makes it hard for many people to take your shields down. This is the reason why DKs outperform everyone with shieldstacking.
@R4B0N3 You are right. What I said, is merely my Sorcerer perspective and against Sorcerers, DK is extremely overpowered and needs no buffs. VS all these Nightblade armies..... well I guess it's hard (for magicka DKs at least) They can ignore your reflect and get 0 damage from your dots while cloaked. Sorcs share your faith here. At least Sorcs can attempt a burst combo.

Saying that the dk needs no buffs because you have trouble with them 1v1 as a sorc seems a little selfish, wouldn't you say?
150 ulti cost for banner and i`ll be happier than @ZOS_GinaBruno having a bug free game to represent

It is selfish. But it's a valid concern.
Dk hardcounters Sorcs. Classes must be overall balanced. Can't be that one single ability completely negates so many abilities (Wings>Projectiles)

Here's some tips from a mDK on how to beat a mDK as a sorc. First of all, if they're only spamming wings, they will run out of magic. It's expensive to keep up all the time. Second, light attacks count, and crushing shock is three projectiles. Velocious curse goes through it, as does both flavors of magicka det if you use that. So the way you burst a mDK is sit in your mines and poke them with a light attack, crushing shock periodically. Put just enough pressure that they maintain wings. With a frag procced, watch for the wings animation. Hit them with a curse then count to three (remember, wings only lasts 4 seconds), streak through them to stun them, then proceed to burst them with frags, wrath, and DBoS.

This is a L2P issue for YOU then. If a few mines completely disable you, then this is your imagination that blocks you out.
You can still attack me if you want when I stand in mines. But I can't do anything against you when you have wings up.
I will wait for you to let them wings down, which requires you to make a mistake. And then my only chance is to burst you down from 100% to 0 within the split of a second until you break free and this is fairly hard.
But there are many players who eat mines like candy, because mines are completely overrestimated.

Are you not using a lightning staff? How much damage is this dk going to do stacking a shield at every 3 seconds and a reflect at every 4 while trying to keep dots on you and build powerlashes? Save your fragproc, at the end of the reflect timer curse, streak, frag, overload. There are so many ways to play against reflect as a sorc.

You still can attack a DK even when wings are up. How many Sorc skills are reflectable, 2? Shards and Overloard. You can use other skills too.
