The only change would be buff Impen traits a tad so less people don't have to ride the trans/impreg wave (or add crit resistance to battlespirit for the newer players/older players looking for build freedom).
Otherwise, you all have entirely too little crit resists+percentage based mitigation and not enough hots.

See what I did there? Seems like the nerf train isn't a great indicator on what is or what is not overperforming.

There wasn't that many actually seeing that most people figured out how to handle shields in 2015.

Are you sure about that? I saw "nerf sorcs, nerf shields" threads and comments every day before this pts.

Then, give light armor a passive to mitigate the bleeding cancer

Stamsorcs, Stamplars, and WW all rely on bleeds to be competitive. And there are DoT builds with just as good pressure as bleed builds. Magicka builds too. If you don't believe me, PM me and duel my magplar. PC/NA same @ name as forum account. With all the insane healing there is you need bleeds paired with defile. And even then fights can drag out for a long time. Quit crying, can't believe this thread is still going on this far.

Nope you relay on bleeds to get easy kills. Somehow there are stamina players that are able to stay competitive without bleeds, while the ones that are using builds simply melt everything on their way. It's not balance when one mechanic is superior vs everyone. There is no reason to not use bleeds as a stamina player because it's most effective tactic, deals massive amounts of damage, it's easy to sustain, has just two counters which are way more expensive than bleeds on their own.
I would be fine with bleeds if we would have cheaper or more reliable counters, like 4s bleeds resistance (both stam and magicka morph) that reduces damage of bleeds by 50%, or even better, implement passive ressistances to bleeds for each piece of medium and light armor worn. This would actually make bleeds as they were ment to be: HA killers, while making them less efficient vs the ones that are the squishiest ones.
