I bet most of the complainers are stacking crit chance and crit dmg along with penetration to combat hvy armour..
You guys know, right that if you take cp out of crit damage, there is a star you can add it to that increases damage to shields... If you drop spriggarns and instead add a weapon damage set or proc set like hundings or viper...
There's is a set specifically to do damage through shields, also don't oblivion enchants go through too?
Yknow, building to combat shields instead of armour. Of course if everyone did that the boards would be full of heavy armour is op threads instead ..

The game is very rock/paper/scissors. If you want to kill sorcs, you can, you just have to give something else up. Shattering blows is not the answer, though.
I went through about 20 different builds before I settled on a solo build. It wasn't designed to kill sorcs, it just happened to be perfect for it. I use max crit damage and abilities with the highest tooltip... Most sorcs die to the spillover damage. Literally, sorcs 1vX 4-5 players like a boss and when the sorc finishes them off I engage and they pop like a balloon.
I still try various other things as I always want to see if the build can be improved. To make a long story short, I don't think shattering blows works right now. I've tried about 5 different combinations, including 97 shattering and 97 mighty. I see no improvement on getting shields down over any other type of build.

people complaining about how sorcs are op stacking shields with no consequence .. please do me a favor post you playing a sorc in a 1vx situation show how anyone can do it add a little commentary in the video as well so we all know its you ...
the problem is what is called a skill gap plain and simple some people can play sorc very well and it shows the other 90% get destroyed everyone else sees the handful of sorcs that can play like that and assume its a wide spread issue .. i really hate these 3 letters but L2P . your bad please stick to you zerg clearly people of this skill level have zero idea wth is happening just pressing skills with blinders on.. its very sad

This is a bad argument because it's the same with every other class 90% of the players don't know how to play their class, but sorc will be more forgiving for those bad players than the other classes. A sorc who doesn't know how to play can still be pretty survivable without even building for it. The only other class I can say that's true for is magplar. It's probably the reason cyrodiil is full of mag sorcs and magplars. The difference with magplar is that they have no way to burst you down because all their attacks are channeled. Magsorc just seems a little off with the survivability it has and the burst damage it's capable of

The WORD is definitely out. Sorcs OP. Sorcs EZ-Mode. Sorcs meta for Morrowind. Play a sorc or nothing at all.
Last night I tore apart or dismantled more terribad newbie Sorcs than I ever have before. It's not even funny how bad they were, how quickly they went down, and how MANY there were.
Keep them coming FOTM, I had an absolute blast.

While I don't want to take anything away from your argument, I have been playing a sniper lately and all I see is DKs. It's probably not because there are that many more DKs than anything else, but more that it's the only class that I can't pop with 1-2 snipes even when they are on horseback with defenses down. In other words, people remember what gave them fits and not what they actually saw.
I am personally not convinced sorcs are a problem now, but am a bit worried they will be after the xpac lands if the changes stay as they are.

I notice mag dk's too because I play the only class that is still countered by them. Alot of the mag dk's have disappear though and I couldn't be happier. I'm not convinced specs are a problem either. They are easier to play than most classes but there are very manageable 1v1. I have a problem with lich and pirate skeleton on a sorc because it creates a shield stack that can't be broken by 1 player. Especially since harness magicka return is op so I'm giving them magicka to keep their shields up, and no cc is not the answer. I feared a sorc over 25 times and the only time he ran out of stamina his pirate proc'd and I couldn't burst him down
You talking about a stacked group of 10 and magika nb with prox det right? Not possible on sorc unless it's a 600 cp sorc facing a group of 10 noobs with low cp and no healer spamming bol and healing springsBut really, when you have a class, which can easily tank 10 players, kill them all an then escape very easy, you know there is something wrong with this game...

Add in some infused on your staff, oblivion enchant & torug's armor for the lolz too

they made an effort to come to this thread and make it very clear what they plan to do to the sorcerer class.

Roll dodge > shields
Shattering blows isnt great and it reduces damage elsewhere.
Dodge roll doesnt dodge all damage and cant be used pre emptively. It also doesnt allow you to go on the offensive while playing defense simultaneously.
I disagree.
