Hey, a small poll about that. On the PTS they changed how the Bound armor work:
This ability and its morphs are no longer toggle abilities. You will keep the increased Magicka buff  ( Bound aegis ) and the increased Light-attack damage ( Bound armaments) while it is slotted. and activating these abilities will increase the amount of damage you can block by 20% for 3 seconds.
Currently the Bound armor & morph visual look amazing ! it suits perfectly with the sorcerer theme, but with the incoming change it will be necessary to activate the competence to get the visual " the glowing eyes and misty aura ".
so that's what I propose:
