✭✭✭✭✭Kind of, the new changes are heading toward a good direction.I like shields are being addressed, I can see where ZOS is trying to go with this but I think it's been a brute force first pas which has ruffled peoples feathers.
That said I think any changes to shields were going to ruffle feathers, so ZOS might as well have gone all out and see what works.@Turelus - EU PC Megaserver

✭Kind of, the new changes are heading toward a good direction.I think making dark exchange insta cast would be nice, bit tick of resources then smaller ticks over 20 seconds is nice tho. Add a 5 second cooldown or something to it.
Shields 1 second interruptable cast is a bit much, making them like streak and cost increasing would have been better.
Frag fix is great tho@Sparr0w so I get the notification

I mean, if you don't want Dark exchange to be a spam-able (which ZOS clearly is staying away from), remove the cast time all together would be a welcome change.0 -

Methariorn✭✭✭I've not tested them out yet, but on paper, I'm disappointed.I'll test it but on paper is rip magicka sorc: why the only class/build that it depends on shields for survive must deal with a cast time? Block, rolldodge, cloack are all istant and every defence should stay istant. Shields don't last one GCD vs someone good. Add that magicka sorcs don't have a class spammable, got a telegraphic bust and lack a strong damage ultimate (you must be 100% potato to get killed by overload slow travel bullet or be in a zerg fight and don't see them coming).Methariorn sorc EU server AD

Cast time on shields - obv they went crazy
Overcharge - stupid- PC EU. Ebonheart Pact. CP 1k+
- YouTube: All ESO disguises (2014)
- EU players are humans too! We want our maintenances in the least pop time (at deep night) and not lasted for several hours!
- Animation canceR - is true PvP cancer! When you can't see which actions your opponent do - you can't react properly on them!

✭✭✭HELL NO!!!Magsorc is going to enter 2015 Stamina Templar territory and cease being a class at all. No class or sorc favortist should have to endure that type of anguish ever again.

darkstar2084✭✭✭✭I can see why ZOS did these, but I don't agree with them.Zos really needs to look at other ways to compromise on shields, it just makes game-play sluggish not fun at all. castime and interruptible = rekt in pvp. overload I like it the way it is on live, also useful for stam giving it an utility/buff bar for extra skillsEdited by darkstar2084 on September 18, 2018 2:30PM0

I think whoever came up with the 1 second nerf is either a stam-only player, or a troll and should be fired from ZOS immediately.7 -

Push button receive very powerful defences.I like shields are being addressed, I can see where ZOS is trying to go with this but I think it's been a brute force first pas which has ruffled peoples feathers.

What exactly was the problem with shields in the first place?
PvP had little counter play past applying more DPS than could be shield spammed or sustained through.
PvE they became invulnerablity in most cases. You could just shield your way through all the mechanics.
I would have loved to see them become active block shields which drained magicka personally, more like wards in Skyrim.@Turelus - EU PC Megaserver
