    Unsubed already. All the rest should do the same (at least the ones who think this change is horrible).

    It is a horrible change.

    One second to cast a shield to defend yourself is not acceptable in a fast phased combat system.

    It's ruining even roleplaying.
    Because how stupid it is? Using instant cast for years and then add huge delay? What emotions do you expect?

    Add delay to evasion, vigor, etc then? What's your problem?

    Even instant skills have a 1 second global cooldown. This gets added onto the tooltip cast time. So if a skill claims to have a 1s cast time it means that if you spam it you will only cast it once every 2s.

    I agree this MUST NOT go live, NOOBODY WANT THIS, there's enough counterplay allowing shields to get crit damage.

    The 1s delay is a disaster

    Shields are worthless with the 1 second cast timer. Unslot them folks.

    As for the change to allow crits and armor mitigation with shields, I actually agree with those as well as the removal of passive dodge from roll dodge (no more infinite dodge roll dodge on cooldown stam builds). I also disagree with the 1 second delay on roll dodge though.

    I am currently worried for the future of ESO. Population seems like it is in free fall and the cancellation of the North America in-person gathering feels very much like pulling the plug. Kudos on fixing the in-game economy though. Clearly whatever gold shenanigans were happening the last couple years are fixed.

    Great...Stunned and Off Balance when interrupted too

    So a mellee player can predict this, interrupt, you are stunned/offbalance, DK Powerlash, NB another element to stunlock you. etc...

    It IS disgusting, awful, and uncomfortable (based on the gif posted below, I havent' actually spun up PTS), but it does look like it's one second. One second is just a long time in ESO combat to be stuck in an animation.

    I tested this and agree it takes longer than one second. It's more like 2-4 second cast time. It's easy to test. If you have empowered ward it should have now a 14-second duration. cast empowered ward then recast it and see how many seconds have passed on the 14-second timer countdown of empowered ward. Either slow down how fast the 14- seconds tick or reduce the cast time. I mean I would love for you to eliminate the cast time because the only thing you have accomplished is making empowered ward useless.

    It makes, incap, light attack, bash, surprise attack, execute the new stamblade meta rotation. Because I know when running my mag sorc to immediately hit shield the moment I get hit with or hear incap. That will just lead to a stun and death now.

    As a Magplar main who shook his head at the 1.1-1.7s cast time that was attached to Healing Ritual for 4 years, which was finally eliminated a few months ago, I have to shake my head at this decision to add a cast time to Magsorc shields.

    ZoS, you made them critable, which adds extra damage to all but the most stacked crit defense builds. Why not just let that change run it's course first before adding the one thing that will kill any skill in the game instantly?

    This change is just stupid to be honest. And the fact that the shield casting can be interrupted with along to casting time. Basically ZOS wanted to destroy only defense that light armor builds have. If you need to change something in shields, cut the amount in half that shield protects or something but not cast time to it. I have played since betas and seen all kind of changes but this is just one of the most absurd.

    Indeed. The time for the command to travel to the server and the server feedback to travel back to you has to be added. And while you fight somebody, the server now also must decide if you already are interrupted, so your shield keypress is invalid. And the more people are fighting, the more the server is flooded with commands and the less you can depend on your -now unsafe- shield skill. Happy lagging... ZOS probably killed shields for real lagging life PvP...
