Way too early prediction

Recent article stated that there would be more counterplay against damage shield. We don't know what this would be specifically.

My prediction? Its going to somehow be an inadvertent nerf to stam dks.

Also, brace for incoming "magsorcs are going to be useless" threads.

    They're going to make magicka classes useless in PvE. The question is just how many months of 0% magicka class usage rate in trials will need to go by before they realise it. Over/under is set at 12.

    Why do sorcs need ANOTHER nerf?

    They've been nerfed several times, and are more than in check now.

    Godammit ZOS! WHY!!!!!????!!!!!

    Have you not nerfed sorcs enough?

    Have you seen the absurd numbers of DKs and NBs in Cyrodiil?

    Or do you expect light armor builds to actually compete with heavies with nerfed shielding.

    This game is becoming more a punishment than something that's entertaining and enjoyable.

    Counterplay to shields? I predict a set that deals oblivion damage.

    I want this prediction more than anything. I've been hoping for them to add proper Oblivion Staffs as well (and in my dreams a skill line tailored for it) for years now.

    Apparently you havent seen all the recent Pad 3 VMOL HM burns running around. The only groups not using stam are VCR and VAS HM progression groups. That has nothing to do with shields, its all about mechancis. Once groups get good enough to stack, they will start bringing stam, and if ZOS would stop designing "Trials" that are one fight on a huge landscape, this wouldnt be an issue. Good groups bring more stam than magic in the first 5 trials.

    Gotta love how they still nerfed the damage shield from Obsidian Shield from 5% of your max HP to 4.5% in PvP. You only need 100,000 HP to get a 4,500 shield next patch.

    Heh, technically a stam dk nerf, although I don't envy mag sorcs if those shields changes go live.

    Remember, all shields are critable now too. But to be fair most stam dks I know just use it for the major mending anyways.

    Would you rather voice your displeasure with a possible change before it goes Live or after? Because I'd go with the former.

    Just two. If you didn't role a mag character and complete them, then you deffinately won't after this.

    With this shield nerf, it just does not seem like ZOS can get anything useful from hiring Gilliamtherogue.
    I used to be an adventurer like you, then I got the ESO on my hard drive...
