    Lol, sorcs been easymode for years, now when sorcs have to start to actually put some effort into their play they start to cry like spoiled babys

    You sound like the typical tank duo that tries to gank me and when fails whispers me same useless garbage like easy mode while they wear heavy armors and hide behind shields that mitigate 90% of the dmg when block.

    Im sure you never knew it, but a magsorc that kills any class atm uses alot more skill than you. Since magsorc is by far the most nerfed class in the game.


    I bet 100% that youre a tankling on heavy armor that is ignored by sorcs and he rage on forums.

    Most nerfed class in the game?!?! Hahahaha, its been practically untouched except the last dics. Oh the tears, keep em flowing. I can tell you never played any other class, welcome to the real world...

    Tell me, what class you play?

    Most nerfed class by FAR, since day 1 of this game. Dont know if you started it yesterday but i still recall everything, run to patch notes and check nerfs yourself.

    Your reply though makes me think that many sorcs have made you shed your tears in PvP. But guess what? L2P first, talk next.



    Have fun

    I play magplar and i beat most sorcs, the top sorcs i ocasionally loose but mostly it ends Up a draw. Shieldstacking is just stupid, glad to see it nerfed. IF you know how to play a sorc u should only die when u get overrun by a zerg, but even that is easy avoidable IF u are aware and skilled, just pop shields and streak. Glad that easymode sorcs got nerfed, its totally needed

    You just said you beat most sorcs but you want them to be nerfed more? Who wants easy mode here?

    I finally got on the PTS to test it:

    Hardened Ward appears to be at least 1.5 seconds, more likely from 1.8 to 2 seconds.

    This is nowhere near 1 seconds! Someone could get TWO Uppercut hits on you while this thing is casting.

    It is more than one second for the animation. Zos did not adjust the animation so it fit within the one second time frame unless you AC.

    AC seems to work fine when if you queue up a skill on the same bar, but if bar swapping a player can cut off the shield animation to soon and it will not fire.

    In other words it is not consistent with the fast pace of the game. If Zos wants to follow this poorly thought out idea they should, at the very least, fix the animation.

    Of course better ideas have been presented by players such as a debuff to reduce any shields effectiveness if case before the debuff times out and the same can be done by increasing the cost of subsequent shields. Both mirrored off the sorc skill bold escape.

    According to S'rendarr, Empowered Ward's new animation appears to be cut and pasted from the pet summon animation, including the cast time of 1.5 seconds. Look at the buff tracker just below my character while casting. This is from today's PTS patch.

    Edit: I was able to cancel after 1 second and keep the shield, but the animation is definitely over 1 second.
