Hey guys,
i know this has been discussed many times but just look this:
This is 100% not balanced. Doing 2.1k dmg with shields up JUST by spamming light attacks with bow or inferno staff is really really not balanced. Put a CD on it or just make it proc only on heavy attacks. This requires 0 skill and is completly destroying magicka sorc cause we need the shields to stay alive. Rework Shieldbreaker. At its current state its just broken.
And before any of the comments comes like "remove shield stack" "put CD on shields". It requires actually a lot of work and practice to be good at shieldstacking and if you cant kill a sorc who is decent at shieldstacking you should probably rethink your build and playstyle.
Magicka Sorc is a class wich needs to be practiced a lot to be good at and its just bs that this no brain counter even exist in this game. Zenimax, since you like nerf pls take a look at shieldbreaker and these pictues i postet. This is just broken
Is this a nerf sorc thread in disguise

- Update 23Ice Furnace: This item set now grants Spell Damage, rather than Weapon Damage for the 4 piece bonus

Seems like many people are already re-thinking their build and using shield-breaker.
You can't be mad because there is a hard counter to your play-style. Using this set is a trade-off because it puts you at a direct disadvantage when fighting any target who does not use damage shields. That's balanced. You can be somewhat effective against everything or super effective against one specific thing. That creates diversity when people choose to build to counter against other builds.

Except that argument was and is always just sand in the eyes the moment group play comes into the equation. Yes, the person running Shieldbreaker solo had to deal with the disadvantages. But if you’re running Shieldbreaker solo you’re doing it entirely wrong. It’s players hiding in their Zerg who enjoy blowing up shield users with the set. The group negates all disadvantages the set could ever have, instead you just can enjoy the free kills. Skilled gameplay.
A quick forum search on shield breaker will bring up hundreds if not thousands of comments about all of the working counters to shield breaker. Use them or don't use them, you have choices.

This is all about sorcs feeling sad when to go try to 1vX a group and discover one of the players has a direct counter to their ridiculous tankiness.

Except none of them work anywhere outside of a 1v1 - apart from resto ult - which only bays you time to run away.... Yay, counters!!
And fights involving SB are NEVER 1v1s

It also puts you at a direct disadvantage against anyone who runs shields and isn't a mag sorc. Mageblade and warden both have enough native healing to brush off shieldbreaker.
It's literally only useful against mag sorcs who also invest nothing at all into healing. Imo, dying to shieldbreaker is a build and skill issue for sure. First off, shieldbreaker has a very obvious audio cue. If you hear the plinking noise of shieldbreaker proc'ing you must immediately seek LoS OR pop a lingering health pot. What you do from there depends on if you had a lingering pot, with the pot active you can seek the shieldbreaker user and kill them. If you didn't have a pot then you need to maintain LoS while identifying and killing the shieldbreaker user.
Or you could just find a way to fit some healing in your build, its not like you don't have 3 bars to figure out where to slot skills.
Shieldbreaker is a bad set, but dying to it is almost always your fault. The noise is too obvious and if you're getting it proc'ed on you 5+ times like we see in this recap then you're just not playing smart.

So, essentially, you’re saying it’s running combat prayer and draining your Magicka, block and drain the already scarce Stamina, having a Resto Ult up, a specific pot not on cooldown, growing a tree so you can LoS, or play a pet build.
But if dying to SB is always the fault of the target as you say, then the set probably needs a buff. It isn’t doing it’s job of obliterating those filthy shield stackers then.
