In your example, if a Sorc with 24k hp and 35k Magicka casts Annulment:So does that change to shields occur before or after battle spirit. Because shields are cut in half in pvp. So if a sorc has like 20-24k health, as most do, then they can expect an 8k - 12k shield? (not the best a math). But if you cut it in half because of battle spirit then a sorc with that amount of health is looking at a very small shield. Can someone clarify?
- The shield would start at 12,250. (35k Magicka * 0.35 coefficient)
- The shield would be halved by Battle Spirit to 6,125.
- The shield would be unaffected by the health-based cap, because 6,125 < 9,600. (9,600 = 40% of 24k hp)
The team will continue to monitor and evaluate the change though.
A mini shield that now will be critable and have low resistance due to LA seems not much better than the cast time. Looks to me like switching from Pest to Cholera.ZOS_RobGarrett wrote: »If a Sorc with 24k hp and 35k Magicka casts Annulment

In Germany we have a saying for such a "sweet spot":
You can choose between Pest and Cholera.

With this change the HA trend even will continue because LA simply is getting too risky with critable shield inheriting low resistance from LA. Shouldn't it be the other way round? Because LA usually is making magicka spells stronger, not weaker...
