So is having an unblockable, undodgable burst combo from 40m away while also having 40k shield on top of it all so f*** off with your whiney attitude.
And how the hell can anyone defend a set that suddenly makes a terrible player a much, much bigger threat than the competent player?
And the problem then that just one bad player with this adding on to a fight with a competent player... Sorc has to spend half his cooldowns on defence to stay alive vs the competent player - yet now has 6 seconds to kill the bad player before he dies..
How is that possible without the free time to put together a good well-timed burst.?

Shieldbreaker provides 3.5k dps just by spamming light attacks, that's more than many top duel players have in a 1v1, with all their skills!
If that was true, then it would take at least 10 seconds to kill a 30K HP player, even when the attacker is a top player facing an AFK one.
Reality check: You die from burst, not from sustained 3.5k DPS. And burst does far, FAR more than 3.5k DPS. Especially when the attacker is a sorc, who can line up curse, meteor, cage, frag and execute to hit all at the same time.
I really have to roll my eyes when i hear a sorc complain about 3.5K dps while he's blowing through 25K HP hitpoint bars in 1-2 seconds.

I think None good sorc thinks that rune cage is balanced or should stay how it is.
People who say it's fine are same level idiots as people that defend shieldbreaker, zaan, defile, resource poisons sloads or stamnbs. They just don't know what the other classes look like.
I used to say the same about sorcs and shieldbreaker about 3 years ago because i was the typical stamnb assassin hero zergling. Then i switched to playing all classes and now i just call out any ***, i get called a qq cry Baby all the time by the same Kind of people all the time who only want to win or don't care about balance or have no idea how fights look from the perspective of other classes.

I ask you again, which good player defends Shieldbreaker (without adding aafterwards)?
@Sharee
You know a magSorc that runs with 30k HP? I don't. Most run with around 20k, which conveniently just take 5.7 seconds of light attack SB spam. Healing Ward, the main heal most Sorcs use, takes 6 seconds. And that's not even taking a 1v2 or 3 into the picture.
And a competent sorc will kill someone who's just spamming light attacks in half the time.
As the pts is up atm, i'm sure you can prove what you're saying here. You'll bring a magsorc and i'll bring the build you think that's so easy to counter, deal?

Questionable game experience. Not that all those sorcs in PvP poop diamonds and rainbows.So ye, Bad players (and there are a lot) and players who enjoy using broken sets and destroying other players game experience.
Nothing I love seeing more than hypocritical sorcs crying about a set that absolutely destroys them.
The set needs no nerf at all as it's very niche and only works against a few particular builds.
Against most Templars, nightblades, DKs and Stam sorcs it's totally useless.
But noooo it works against the broken mag sorcs so pls zos change it!
Haha pathetic

Then why does it affect people who doesnt stack shields? They could at least make it so that it only triggers when the enemy has 2+ shields

Same reason anyone would defend a potion that suddenly makes a "terrible" player who uses a detection potion against my NB a much bigger threat than a "competent" player who doesn't.
Using the proper counters that fit the situation is intended gameplay. Detect pots to counter cloak. Defile to counter heals. Undodgeable abilities to counter dodge. Unblockable abilities to counter blocking.
But unshieldable damage countering shields? Sacrilege!

well said.
nothing wrong with this set, it does not need nerfed.
this set is the answer to shield stacking sorcerers. that's what it was created to for.
all it does is damage by light attack and if you are just light attacking, then you will die against a sorc.
this set has to be used with weaving in light attacks with normal rotation in order for it to work properly against shield stacking sorcerers.

This rebuttal does not make you correct either. I've used shieldbreaker against sorcs and against good ones there is still a good chance I lose.
On the other hand without it I have practically zero chance unless I'm lucky enough to land a CC just as shields are about to expire and then burst all their HP down during that tiny window. And this only works if you manage to get sorcs out of their staggering shield rotation.
The good sorcs stagger their shield casting so that at least one shield will always be up during the CC window. Also if a sorc even has one decent heal combined with judicious use of streak they remain unkillable from the puny DPS of shieldbreaker.
This whole argument is a joke for the class that sacrifices nothing in terms of their primary resource/dps pool (Magicka) that also provides one of the best mitigation defenses in the game (Shield Stack) combined with the best mobility in the game (Streak). Leaving all of their secondary pool for CC breaks.
There is a reason mag sorcs are the ONLY class that can easily face tank multiple players while killing them one by one and it has nothing to do with superior skill. (Other classes can facetank multiple players but cannot kill as easily as they have sacrificed for their tankiness unlike sorcs as covered above). Give a knowledgeable player the best overall toolkit of any class without any need to make sacrifices outside of their main resource pool to utilize all of it and this is the result.
Everyone knows sorcs are OP mode for any player with knowledge of game mechanics. People on the battlefield see and experience what they can do on a regular basis so maybe Sorcs should just be thankful they haven't been nerfed more.
