Revert it back.
You won ok. Make sorc dead at PVP, but back instant shield cast wtf, it's NOT COMFORTABLE TO PLAY I WANT TO QUIT, DON'T WANT TO PLAY PVE, DON'T WANT TO BUY YOUR DLC, CROWNS, GL.
When noobs allowed to balance this is what will happen. More cheese after cheese for only NBs and still not enough for these noobs. NB with infused jewellery is already cheater class. DKs only countered NB , they got nerfed to the ground. Good bye ESO.Edited by Priyasekarssk on September 17, 2018 10:50PM7 -

Just like everyone went mad when they have seen on PTS how broken rune cage was, then it went live and sorcs were everywhere killing almost everyone except of the most tankiest builds? Yeah let it go live. You think now "awesome I'm going to take my revenge on those sorcs now", no you won't, because you won't meet any MagSorcs there, you won't meet any other LA users (maybe except of magblades), all you will see now will be "Blocked/Dodged".
I've been here when things like that happened before, when game performance was so bad that meteor rain was a completely legit thing. When they have changed lightning in Cyrodiil and you know what? This was one of the toughest times for the game, when some of the best players and even whole guilds was leaving the game, if you want this then please be my guest, but better get ready for more threads like "Is this game dying?".

All of those changes were bad and the complaints warranted.
1) Shield duration nerf was unwarranted b/c all it did was make sorcs more susceptible to gankers. In a fight shields never have last 6 seconds anways. You got your resis from HA up 100% of the time and you can weave dodge rolls. So there was nothing wrong with shields having that duration and protect against gankers ... well nothing except making the gankers lives harder. But we all know that's the real reason why shields got nerfed ... to give the NBs easy kills.
2) Rune Cage nerf was as bad as predicted. The skill is now basically useless, especially against the builds for which it was needed most: perma-dogers aka. Stamblades. You only see it occasionally b/c people don't want to run Destructive Reach due to its reflectability and the amount of DKs and S&B users running around.
Funny how both nerfs were aimed to help stamBlades ... Shamed be he who thinks evil of it.
DKs, Wardens, Templars, NBs standing in the middle of the field perma-blocking or perma-dodging to face tank even more people that sorcs could ever dream of is apparently not a problem for you. And at least the Wardens and NBs got far better mobiltiy - especially for kiting. And yes ... stamSorcs also have great mobiltiy, but we are talking about magSorcs.Edited by Galarthor on September 18, 2018 12:24PM5 -

I just tested it on PTS, and i could spam-cast 39 shields in 46 seconds, which comes slightly over 1.1 second per cast, so its definitely not three or more seconds(i have a video if you want to see it).
I suspect the 0.1 is either because of latency or because a delay the game forces after completing an ability cast.
