I recommend removing the attribute bonus from the Champion System. This makes people way too tanky. For starters tank builds that invest in health because exceptionally more tanky (50k health now becomes 60k), damage shields become disproportionally stronger (20% stronger shields before bastion even kicks in), but our damage is not increased by 20% (going from 30k stam to 36k isn't going to make my Surprise Attack go from 9k to 10.8k)
This change alone will affect both PvP and PvE in a positive way.
In PvP players will become less tsnky with smaller shields, and smaller health pools.
In PvE players will have to invest into their health pool in order to avoid being 1-shot, damage shields may still be too strong in PvE, but not to the same degree (it would be to be reevaluated after this change), and the damage output of players will be less insane than it currently is.
I'm just saying that this is a change that needs to happen, and if it occurs in conjunction with any other damage shields nerfs then it may be too much.

Yes make defile effect shields.
Kill off shield classes altogether.
Because shields are so obviously overlystrong at the moment. It's not like out of every defensive type, rolling, becoming tanky and blocking and shields that shielding is the least effective in pvp.PS4 EU DC

✭✭Why would they nerf shields ?
Because they said : " Harness Magicka and Conjured Ward skills are overshadowing and diminishing the role of healers" ?
If they are smart enough they will read our feedback, shields aren't the problem ...
MagNb are the problem, most of the time you will read in chat " Looking for 2 Mag Nb - 1 DD - 1 Tank for pledge 6 keys " + Some groups will just go full magNB and 1 sorc healer for alkosh uptime and minor prophecy ( for raids ).
And the fact that all dungeon except dragon bones and Wolf-hunters dungeon are faceroll easy ... is another reason why healers are not needed.
Do you really think nerfing damage shields would reduce damage in PVE ? 1 health enchant max and it's enough, then push for max damage, this won't stop the MagNB meta.

Mechanics are the problem.
Mechanics doesn't need healer checks anymore, it's either do the mechanic or die, or anything not a tank being hit by the boss will be 1 hit.
Healers used to be able to outheal certain mechanics even if people got caught.
But yeah end game pve'ers were always going to not need healers in dungeons eventually. Don't need a healer if it's easy to avoid all the dmg.PS4 EU DC

✭If ZOS nerf shields. Then they'll have to push dodge roll, breakfree, and sprint accessible to magicka pool.
Without shields magicka characters will have zero defense. At that point you can just delete all magicka characters from the game and replace them with already imposing stamina characters.
Shields don't need any more nerfs. Matter of fact ZOS needs to either nerf stamina or buff magicka characters. Because other than Magblade. Stamina outclasses magicka game wide.12 -

Let's fix the issue with MagNB first, nerf a bit the heal of funnel health on the nearby ally ( it should stay better than elemental weapon ofc ), give all class unique utility ( not just synergies ) like the possibility to apply off-balance ect ... and all class should reward skilful gameplay with sustain and DPS ( magNB is the only class that reward skilful gameplay [Good Weaving] With sustain [Siphonning attacks] and better DPS [merciless Resolve] ).
Shields are not the issue, Do you really believe what you wrote ?

Damage shields are too potent in every aspect of this game and need to be nerfed. I play magsorc and stamblade and there's a very noticeable difference in survivability. Whenever I'm on my magsorc kills comes very easy (easier than my stamblade), but when I'm being pressured it's like a vacation in comparison to my stamblade. I'm not even sweating, and will win the grand majority of my 1vX encounters.
Play a non-stealth medium armor build then play a shield stacking sorc. Then come back to me and tell me that shields aren't OP.0 -

Shield is the worst defense mechanic, what can seems "good" is shield stacking, Harness + hardened need to not stack, but shield need to be buffed.
Single shield is trash.

MagNb are the problem, most of the time you will read in chat " Looking for 2 Mag Nb - 1 DD - 1 Tank for pledge 6 keys " + Some groups will just go full magNB and 1 sorc healer for alkosh uptime and minor prophecy ( for raids ).
And the fact that all dungeon except dragon bones and Wolf-hunters dungeon are faceroll easy ... is another reason why healers are not needed.
Do you really think nerfing damage shields would reduce damage in PVE ? 1 health enchant max and it's enough, then push for max damage, this won't stop the MagNB meta.
Damage Shields make PvE cake. I out-shield bursty mechanics with ease on my magsorc.
Funnelhealth,High Dps, High sustain make PVE faceroll easy. Out-heal bursty mechanics or Skip them ... with ease on magNb.
Yeah, but magblades being too strong is pretty common knowledge, and has already been mentioned to the devs.
Same things about shields in the class rep meeting notes, but they are wrong, MagNB and faceroll easy dungeons are overshadowing and diminishing the role of healers ... not shields.
Do you think nerfing shield would fix the issue ? This would just make MagNB even better than other magicka players using shields, and the meta would stay the same.
Let's fix the issue with MagNB first, nerf a bit the heal of funnel health on the nearby ally ( it should stay better than elemental weapon ofc ), give all class unique utility ( not just synergies ) like the possibility to apply off-balance ect ... and all class should reward skilful gameplay with sustain and DPS ( magNB is the only class that reward skilful gameplay [Good Weaving] With sustain [Siphonning attacks] and better DPS [merciless Resolve] ).
Shields are not the issue, Do you really believe what you wrote ? " They would need to invest into their health pool // This would reduce the damage output " Ahah xD, or do you just seize the opportunity to destroy shields in PVP because they said shields were overshadowing and diminishing the role of healers in PVE ?
Damage shields are too potent in every aspect of this game and need to be nerfed. I play magsorc and stamblade and there's a very noticeable difference in survivability. Whenever I'm on my magsorc kills comes very easy (easier than my stamblade), but when I'm being pressured it's like a vacation in comparison to my stamblade. I'm not even sweating, and will win the grand majority of my 1vX encounters.
Play a non-stealth medium armor build then play a shield stacking sorc. Then come back to me and tell me that shields aren't OP.
Shield is the worst defense mechanic, what can seems "good" is shield stacking, Harness + hardened need to not stack, but shield need to be buffed.
Single shield is trash.
If a day they nerf shield, I would prefer this way, prevent harness and hardened stacking ( but allow harness/healing ward or hardened/healing ward ) and buff both.
Hardened should be better than harness, currently hardened is 30% stronger than harness ( it may seems high, but in no-cp it's just a 2K strength difference ) and cost 1K less, but harness restore up to 3400 magicka agaisnt magicka players.Edited by [Deleted User] on August 25, 2018 11:17PM2 -

If you're on PC then you should already feel stronger. The only scenario where someone can touch my health solo is with a power sigil active.0 -

You play a cloakless medium armor stamblade without rally. Sorc and literally everything in this game would be overpowered if that gimped setup you got going on is the point of evaluation.
Im gonna merge these convos.Yes I intentionally play without cloak because I don't want to hide 24/7. If only stamblades had SOMETHING for survivability outside of stealth, but no the new Cloak morph just gives magblades another heal. Which is good, because they needed better healing /s
You CAN play a cloakless stamblade. But it involves running heavy armor and learning a different playstyle. I’m not trying to be rude, but your build is bad and you just don’t understand the game as well as you think you do man. You don’t have to hide in stealth 24/7 to acknowledge that cloak is an essential part of your kit and that you are voluntarily gimping yourself by not running it. It’s like playing a Sorc without shields or a Templar without purge, then complaining the game isn’t balanced. Just ignorant.
And FYI I play a medium armor stam build that doesn’t use stealth and dismantle the vast majority of Sorcs I fight.Edited by CyrusArya on August 26, 2018 3:08AM13 -

For starters tank builds that invest in health because exceptionally more tanky (50k health now becomes 60k), damage shields become disproportionally stronger (20% stronger shields before bastion even kicks in), but our damage is not increased by 20% (going from 30k stam to 36k isn't going to make my Surprise Attack go from 9k to 10.8k)
This change alone will affect both PvP and PvE in a positive way.
In PvP players will become less tsnky with smaller shields, and smaller health pools.
In PvE players will have to invest into their health pool in order to avoid being 1-shot, damage shields may still be too strong in PvE, but not to the same degree (it would be to be reevaluated after this change), and the damage output of players will be less insane than it currently is.
I'm just saying that this is a change that needs to happen, and if it occurs in conjunction with any other damage shields nerfs then it may be too much.
Ah the never ending crusade to nerf sorc. It truly never ends.
But when someone say strong shields and shield stacking is a Sorc thing you sorcs say anybody can have shields.
Seems to me you’re just looking for something to complain about at this point.6
