Well, killer- you can't pew pew if you're dead, either.

Lots of ppl are suggesting run heavy armor but then what is the point of having anything but heavy armor in the game? Zos is basically then deleting light armor?

Magicka Templar here...
I wear 5 Light and possess 29k Spell Resist and 23k Physical Resist in constant effect...
One of my sets is Combat Physician; since its Damage Shield will now scale off of my Resists, it'll be 44% stronger against Magical Attacks and 35% stronger against Physical...
My durability will be augmented by Spectre's Eye and it's 25% resist against AoE...
Bottomline...
Light Armor is not dead...
If you build properly, you can be pretty tanky in 5 Light...

Well, killer- you can't pew pew if you're dead, either.
Or...
just play any other class and spec, who don't need to do ANY of this and can do max DPS with 100% damage set and enchants and with no downside whatsoever.
Wear impreg? Or wizards? Or pariah? Or brass?
TLDR: l2p
pariah is heavy OP said light
impreg isnt doing anything other than crit resist and light is abysmally low resist even in the best set up with signifficantly less phys resist than stam
also where are wer doing to run a dmg set with that given that you need shacke on light to have stam to cc break
^^
brass and wizards

Are you high? Every other class is already forced to run 1 defensive and 1 offensive set.
Just NB gankers get a free pass, but use any of the 100 counters in the game to cloak and they get ripped apart like toilet paper.
I've seen sorcs tanking like DKs and bursting like NBs. No tradeoff like other classes.
Everyone complains and says TIME TO RUN NB.... Go ahead. And come back here to complain day 1. Cause the skillfloor on NB is about 5 times higher.

I have a Spectre's Eye Set - can't wait to get that AOE damage resist. But Sorc is going to have to continue to run 2 defensive sets for small scale PVP.
We can't run any damage sets now. It's just not enough survivability.

Except those other classes and specs are below sorcerer damage already due to having less damage because they have more survivability.
Sorcerers are just finally coming into line with the rest of them, not getting free huge survivability without sacrificing damage at all.

Except magsorc already needs to run 2 sustain sets, so no, other classes are not below sorc' in damage. But now, how can they also run 2 defence sets?

2 sustain sets? What type of build are you running tf a mag Sorc healer?
I have always gotten away with running no sustain set and just running all Regen jewelry. Current meta is 5 necro 2 shadow rend 3 ancient grace 2 willpower with all Regen enchants and sustain is fine. Thats a 100% L2P issue if you have to run 2 sustain sets on sorc.

The usual shackle/lich, but with dmg jewels.
I've tried your setup before, but not happy with the shadowrend uptime, or the stam sustain.
I play light armor magplar and magden with no damage shields. I back bar a sword and shield or ice staff but these classes have good self heals. Lingering health pots are also pretty great.
Maybe slot a pet on a sorc? Or get some kind of DoT into your build that will proc crit surge. Idk, goodluck!

I kind of look at it as half-sustain, with 2 useful recov bonuses, and the much needed stam boost so you have enough for a break-free buffer while it's recovering.
