Shield breaker is ridiculous

Ihatenightblades · December 2016

Ok can we erase this set from existence? U can be the best magicka sorc in the game but if u happen to be in light armor all somebody has to do is put shield breaker on and soam light attack???

Wheres the balance? This contradicts balance in every aspect u can think of.

U can be a horrible player but if u have cloak and shield breaker with a bow u can beat any light armor magicka character in game.

This and fassala go against every balance aspect there is so why have it?

Fassala is less OP but come on get rid of shield breaker already.

For the sake of ESO.

Shield Breaker deals 2k per hit, resulting in lesser than 2k damage per second. Any HoT will outheal it.

brandonv516 · December 2016

The balance is that a person wearing SB set makes a sacrifice so they are good against those with shields but only okay against those without.

Spinner set is exactly the same concept but with a much wider use.

GreenSoup2HoT · December 2016

Shield breaker punishes sorcs who only use shields and healing ward. Its fine. Slot the resto HoT and youll be good.

Shield Breaker is like Spriggains. Spriggains is worthless against shields but great against heavy users.

I play with shieldbreaker.. Noobs panic and die instantly, skilled players can counter me
But all in all, i get alot of QQ on whisper which is entertaining

Why i use shidbreaker? Harness magicka has been buffed and now it prevents physical damage, so to break through 3 damage shields is impossible currently- unless u stack 3 proc sets which isnt my playtyle-

Rambo sorc who can troll with 4 damage shields and 5 streaks in a row? Save your mood and ambush /LA him and laugh all the way

Laughable thread. So something breaks through mag shields and you want it removed lol

My guild mate is a NB ganker and he uses this set with spriggan when we play as team. It is really great against sorcs, DKs and anyone casting shields.

TreeHugger1 · December 2016

You simply need to use healing ward,the shield will take no damage and will heal you(you also have heath regen and surge heal).

DurzoBlint13 · December 2016

wow, this thread went right past Nerf and moved on to "get rid of X-skill because X-skill kills me"
I would even agree with it if they got rid of Hardened Ward as well. Anyone can wear Shield Breaker but only one sub-class in the game has a shield as powerful as HW

alephthiago · December 2016

I cant believe someone actually complains about shield breaker lol
Even viper drains shields quicker.

the real question should be asked is:
Why are you allowed to stack shields to the point where no one can kill you and at the same time you can kill everyone with massive magicka damage, some on this forum even boast of 55000 magicka, stamina nightblade cannot compete with that. no one can compete with that.

OP is just mad because they aren't invincible with shield stacking.

Korah_Eaglecry · December 2016

In this thread OP wants a return to the unstoppable ShieldSorcs. What next a rollback of the change to shields?

MaxwellC · December 2016

@Ihatenightblades
Sure we can get rid of shield breaker as long as shields have major and minor buffs so you cannot stack a heal ward + hardened ward + annulment in one go.

daswahnsinn · December 2016

Thanks for filling up some server space with this request. I'd like the add to the nerf list Radiant destruction, all the new proc sets, and anything else that has been mentioned before in a nerf thread.

True dat

You might as well complain about Mag DKs being OP

... oh wait...

DHale · December 2016

Go ahead complain about sets over a year old. That 2 k damage though... op. That is almost a rapid regen tick.

Thelon · December 2016

this thread is destined to go full potato

Malamar1229 · December 2016

Facefrag that nubcakes for using crutches.

Also, dont the heals from surge equate the dmg from shield breaker? like 1500? Cant look right now.

best solution i found for shield breaker is defensive rune, then streak to him and burst. you'll force him on defensive

shields last for 6 seconds which is more spamming, and more sustain....which in turn is less dmg. Unlike stamina, you wont see a sorc running around with 4k spell dmg and great sustain.

source- ive been playing magicka sorc since beta

what you have is that blood lust tunnel vision and a desire to be able to kill everyone you see. Nevermind the fact there are builds that hit like noodles with great sustain/shields and despite the fact they are hard to kill, you can simply ignore them and continue with your pvp objective. Also nevermind the fact that in 1v1 balance there will typically be a "kyrptonite" for each class/build....i.e a class that wont able to kill another particular class in 1v1 (like WoW).

Ihatenightblades · December 2016

Its the fact that it sucks in every other aspect of the game. Its a troll set period

I have plenty kryptonites thats not the issue

Its the fact that in todays eso universe its a troll set . Period. With 100cp into light attack with bow lol . I respect gankers 1000x more than a shield breaker user using a bow with cloak .

Kryptonite is one things GodLike is another and thats what u are when u fight a light armor mage. Thats just #Facts

leepalmer95 · December 2016

Use power surge.

Problem solved.

FriedEggSandwich · December 2016

At least if you see someone using shield breaker in open world these days you can be fairly confident they have a real issue with sorcs and would probs make an easy target lol.

Jaiden · December 2016

Damage from SB is unresistable. So golded out it's about 2200ish damage. If you DW and heavy attack. That damage is doubled from DW attack mechanics. SB can put a lot of hurt on shield stackers. Combine with viper/Selene, you get the picture.

TheShadowScout · December 2016

Yeah, yeah, we know. Those who use shield breaker are the bane of the shield stackers. And have no extra effect whatsoever against anyone else in cyrodil, so they'll die a lot to anyone not depending on shields.
Advantage and drawback balance, I'd say.
And most will prefer to go with some set that is effective against -everyone-, not just the what, 20% of PvPlayers who depend on their shields?
What was the problem again?

JamieAubrey · December 2016

People are still running this set to make people QQ
