It was needed. Even currently on live, stacking such an amount of Magicka on a Magicka build greatly increases both offense as well as shields to the point where both become insanely strong
The 5pc reduction is nice, especially after the buffing of the other set bonuses. But it's more than likely still going to be good, prob as good as it is on live now

It's still giving you more mag than the stam equivalent (hulking draugr) even though it has a pet requirement. And yes stam skills cost less but remember morrowind patch increased stam skills cost to be 5% less (if I'm remembering correctly) than their mag counterparts.
I was gonna say that too, the 2p-3p-4p all got buffed so not sure if this will really change all that much to be honest.
Agreed, it will barely touch the tip of the iceberg regarding the peoples biggest beef about the set which is strong shields on a sorc build, the set will still remain strong, sorc shields will still be strong and other classes like Magwarden are the ones most affected by it.

@Abstraqt I'd swap out necro for shackle, take the 1 torug's sword and transform it into a 2h and put a torug's pact on the shoulder/head. Run forward momentum, and use a monster set piece that complements what you're lacking.
Torugs + shackle/amber 2h/Reston might be BiS for magblade open world next patch tbf. Forward momentum is too good.
