Shield Discrepancy

In order for more consistency among the classes, please consider adding a cast time to Obsidian Shield, Crystal Shield, Blur, and Sun Shield. This would make the other abilities related to Conjured Ward fall more in line with the intended use of such skills. Also, add a short delay to the shield bubble activated from the Psijic skill line passive. /s

    Except we have heard that trash before, they made the change cause those shields scale with your offensive stats, giving defense at no expense of your offense. Obsidian Shield, Sun Shield and Bone Shield for example all scale with your Max HP, making it so that if you want to buff your defense you would have to make your offense suffer for it. Not saying I agree with the changes but this suggestion is not helpful nor inline with the explanation for the changes that were made.

    They should use some reverse psychology on mag sorcs! Since people who play this like to spam shields so much Zos should remove the cast time and rather make it so that as long as you are in combat if your shield falls off you die! So you better keep mashing that button lmao

    Blur is not a Shield, smh.

    You are the one claiming that Dark Cloak is a shield few days ago, right?

    1) Blur isn't a shield. It's not comparable. You would need to put a cast time on Blade Cloak then also and then somebody would bring up something else like item set bonuses and on and on and on....

    2) Another :'( "I'm a victim! if you nerf my overpowered tool then I want you to nerf anything else that anybody else likes even if it isn't overpowered because I don't care to check!" :'( thread?

    This is tiring to read a thousand times.

    Seriously, an entire thread for "/s" sarcasm?!
    Ugh, this is worthless.

    So defensive mechanics that can be used proactively should get a casttime?
    Aka all hots?

    How should we treat mechnanics that don´t scale at all (wings, shimmering, cloak) - and are so powerful they don´t need to?

    The changes will make tanking shields and steadfast ward (indirectly scaling off health) 30-70% more effective on already tanky builds. The forums will wail inconsolably about these "unkillable" builds that can stack high mitigation, high damage, and shields.

    They've nerfed them in the past for the same reason.
