Lol if you can’t pressure a sorc with all that fancy gear then it’s definitely a L2P issue. Bleeds are super deadly to a sorc. Also I hate when people list their weapon damage as some kind of ultimate answer to any other question you could ask about their build or skill level. 4.5k wpn damage = I should be able to beat anyone. I used to complain about mag sorcs constantly, I leveled one some time before Summerset and now I don’t feel the need to complain about them as much even though I’d say I’m only on it about 30% of the time and on stamina the rest. Playing one just helps you separate the perception of “god mode” from skill and you know when someone has been carried by mag sorc skills a little or when they’re just a better player than you. So, I invite you to level a mag sorc and play one for a while, leveling goes pretty fast these days, BiS mag sorc gear is easy to get.
I mean honestly how you can be sure the person just wasn’t a lot better than you? Gear and stats doesn’t mean a thing. You complain that this person was carried by their class and then say that you should have been able to beat them because of have certain gear. Isn’t that pretty ironic?

So your definition of skill is bunny hopping and spamming shields? That's a lot of damn skill man. I wish I could do that. That's literally my only complaint as I didn't lose the fight. It's just very, if not extremely annoying to see someone just bunny hop for an entire minute and a half hoping to be saved by their buddies. He can still dish out a ton of damage if not focused and that's the problem. Any other class in the game can do just 1 of those things at the same time, not both. EDIT: And even if they can, they can only do it for a short time, not for an ENTIRE MINUTE AND A HALF.
MagSorc is my first main and I think you make absolutely no sense. You should run a different class too perhaps? I can switch over to my Sorc and easily kill anything that doesn't wear Shieldbreaker. Stop defending a broken class just because it suits you please.
And yes it's my fault for not wearing Sloads. He did die eventually but It took wayyyyy too long for someone who can still eat low HP targets inbetween shield stacks.

Erhm. Bleeds are arguably performing at their worst against magicka sorc, since they get no benefit whatsoever compared to other DoTs while shields are up, and get to ignore rather low physical penetration once you break those.
It's not really realistic to kill proper mag sorcs running a sustain build those days 1 on 1, altho I won't complain about it since 1 on 1 encounters are probably one of the least balanced things around here.
I've been on both sides of the fence: sitting there only refreshing shields as magsorc and tanking builds similar to OP's, as well as standing on the same spot, refreshing only defensive buffs, Vigor and blocking a few attacks with Troll King on top with a mag sorc hammering on me (could even sit in their Meteor for the whole duration). It's just a number game - a pretty broken one as well.
I kinda miss the old Surge, since it rewarded being extremely aggressive and taking risks, current mag sorc is just too boring and 2 dimensional to play.
Are you MF-ing serious ZOS?
This is on build with over 4.5k weapon damage too mind you.
This was in NO CP battlegrounds too. Unfortunately i do NOT have video, I cannot record on my current computer.

So you won the fight and you’re complaining because they used their defensive tactic to hold you off? I play mag sorc, and I’ve tried every stamina class over the years as well as magblade and magplar. And currently I don’t see mag sorcs as more of an issue than most other classes. I fought a whole team of mag sorcs in BGs yesterday in deathmatch and they won by only a small margin due to the fact that two of our players only got like 2 or 3 kills each. No one was making a peep about mag sorcs being OP prior to Summerset. Shields haven’t changed one bit, now suddenly shields are god mode again? I don’t buy it, I think we just have an influx of new players.
Honestly from the sound of your post it seems like you were just up against a mediocre player who had built for max shields and was spamming to prolong the inevitable. That’s jsut the nature of shields, you can’t change it without restructuring how mag sorcs and shields work from the ground up and that’s unlikely to happen.
A good tank can withstand 10+ people hitting it
Hence “tank”

DKs can do both...
Magblades can do both...
Stamwardens can do both...
So...
Yeah...

In CP perhaps. This is a NOCP discussion. They cannot. Unless the oponent is braindead.
A High Burst, DPS Class SHOULD NOT EVER BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND INSANE PRESSURE FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME OR MULTIPLE PEOPLE (if we talk new players) WHILE BEING ABLE TO DEAL FULL DAMAGE FROM THE BACK LINE. PERIOD.
[/b]

Yes but he can't deal full damage back from the backline while being safe and pampered over there. Then run into the crowd and bunnyhop unharmed all the same time. A tank gets maybe 1 chance with an ult, not an entire set of skills and burst combos.
