Maintenance for the week of April 6:
• ESO Store and Account System for maintenance – April 8, 9:00AM EDT (13:00 UTC) - 6:00PM EDT (22:00 UTC)
We are currently investigating connection issues some players are having on the European megaservers. We will update as new information becomes available.
Add a 1 sec cast time to blocking too.
Clearly zos forgot that block casting also uses shields. It is too easy to throw a kite shield on yourself while making minimal sacrifice in terms of dps itemisation and rotation. This applies to both PvE and PvP scenario.
The addition of cast time to blocking makes that choice between damage output and survivability more deliberate and strategic. This also conforms to lore as it is unrealistic to grab a shield hoistered on your back and be blocking within a split second.
