Lol making Igneous shields scale off magika would make mDKs the most broken class. We already have 2 healing classes in Warden and Templar. Lets DK's handle Tanking and DPS.

Ha ha. I take it you must be referring to PvP, because in PvE, with its crappy Igneous (even before this recent and the previous Morrowind patch), a dps stam or mag DK is nowhere near being OP. It is a fine dpser, like any other toons (depending on the build/setup or player handling the toon.) It is just protection/shield-wise have always been crappy for a dps DK. Heck, I know wholeheartedly a certain class that is really OP, comparatively to other class. However, I'm not going to mention it, because I don't want that nerfed anytime soon. Seems them nerf gods at Zen/ZOS land are monitoring what we say or post on here, and when they get a ping on posts bragging or whining about certain class or skills seemingly being described as OP by someone or two.. bamm, here comes the nerfing. *beeping* *beep*

Dk doesn't need a good shield or protection tbh, Embers which should be up all the time gives all the healing you'll ever need, plus given that Goag blood gives a minimum of 10k heals giving them a stupidly powerful, well not stupid but a better shield outside of Harness would make them god like imo. It's not even used on tanks for the shield, just purely for helping hands and mending (which the changes to this actually hurt more with no major mending unless the shield is up)

StamDK is actually pretty damn OP atm too.

Zos nerfed the shield because they saw it being used in a manner not intended. The new trial requires significantly more HP for tanking. With the nerfs to sustain and specifically sustain skills and passives no longer based in max stats it made sense for tanks to go big with max health. This made the secondary shields placed on allies larger than Zos prefered. Only that secondary shield was nerfed.

That bold'ed part right there, why can't people seem to get its not a nerf to the caster in anyway but support wise? Its just as strong on them as it was before, just not as strong on their allies.
