Oh, [snip]

Its probably a bug, the other purposeful buffs are problems, if we see this on natch potes, then riot.

This isn't a bug, this is a relic with shields and why I have always maintained they need to be redesigned. Shields used to be immune to a boatload of magicka CC skills and ALL DOTS as well as all status effects.

Shields were broken then and are still broken. They need to be redesigned.

Kinda remind of dragonknights. They best permablockers yet they best counters to permablockers.
Now asylum staffs best weapon for sorcs/nbs who shielding while also being those who is immune to it.

Probably bug tho since even old bug from U15 regarding enchants vs blockers still not fixed on pts.

My Warden uses shields too

That's the thing lol. In PvE, a Warden uses Screaming Cliff Racer for spammable DPS.

If anything they have become comparatively worse to their Magicka Sorc/NB/Templar competition this patch for DPS, which is now a recurring theme since this also happened from Morrowind to HotR.

In PvP you will see increased burst from Magicka Wardens who use Deep Fissure -> Screaming Cliff Racer -> Crushing Shock

Which I do. I just have resolved my Warden to be PvP only really

Edit: it's essentially an auto burning dot right? A reliable way to get another dot right?

Yup. All effects last 4 seconds and you'll be able to keep up these effects every 4-5 seconds if you are perfect. What will actually happen is far less uptime since you need to cast all of your other stuff to survive ofc. I imagine you'll activate Crushing Shock and gain these status effects when you actually want to deal your burst damage though

The procced status effects are:
- Burning, which ticks as soon as it activates, at 2 seconds , and at 4 seconds (3 ticks). Flame Damage DoT.
- Concussed, which mainly applies Minor Vulnerability (8% increased damage taken), and Off-balance if Blockade of Storms ticks on them (might be worth it investing the 75 Thaumaturge CP for Exploiter passive aka 10% damage vs Off-Balance targets)
- Chilled, which mainly applies Minor Maim (15% less damage dealt)

These status effects will be reliable enough to have them when you need them. Get the Normal mode version of the Asylum Staff cause it's literally the same thing with a 1sec greater cooldown and significantly easier to acquire.

So awesome. This gives Warden a direct access to a much needed additional DoT! Finally I'll reliably have Skoria! Everything else is just icing

Lmfao i love posts like these .... the forum warriors defend thier mag builds to the death. And will comment after comment after comment what a joke these players are.

I have said this 3 months ago good luck in this post trying to fix this. If its a bug that benifits them they will make invalid arguments about it just to keep it.

You think its bad now wait til CWC... but im over eso and the defended bug/broken sets, passives and other stuff that doesnt get looked at or talk about because of this community.

Zos releases more content then they can fix. The PTS now is a place to find exploits and then not report them then wait for it to go live and share with your pals.

Id name alot of the bugs but its not even worth it no more. And thier are about 4 sets in the game that the 5th item bonus you can have 100% uptime no cooldown. But im pretty sure some of you know this already... im waiting for the post for somebody to say something, but still nothing yet pretty funny 3 months and counting.

Good luck...

FYI, this doesn't just affect shield stackers. Enchants don't work against sword and board either.

Yeah, they should work allways...

Does the problem only apply to shield-stackers - or does it happen with single-shields too?

The secondary effect immunity is with just one shield.
