Magicka Sorcerer Shield Nerf?

Admittedly, I think the sorc’s pets are obnoxious so I’ve never played pet sorc
do you think it would be that much harder than light armor non pet? Or light armor magden pet? If you have a recommended build, I can try it out. But I’d defer to someone who actually has some experience with that playstyle. 1 -

✭✭First magsorc run post murkmire:
Both deaths were because I was anim locked when I got hit with a lot at once, so bigger shields wouldn't have saved me. This was with the weaker, 40% cap sorc shield.
And just for good measure, first magden run post murkmire:
This death might have been prevented with a larger shield, but I'm not sure and am guessing not. This was with the stronger, 50% cap light armor shield.
But all in all, it's almost as if mag characters are still playable... speaking as a mediocre magdps player myself.
Because 99% of the ESO population plays like you right.. No so the masses get destroyed to suit epeeners like the top 1%..
That is bad balancing..

Okay, note that Vit is at 13 and 14 respectively. Even granting that @jypcy is very skilled with vMA, that is nearly flawless, meaning it can absolutely be cleared by other players on those specs. They may not have a vit bonus left, they won't be on the leaderboards, but it is still possible to complete.
That said, while only a tiny sliver of the community clears vMA, it is one way to definitively say, "mag is not dead."1 -

That's correct. The shield nerf is a result of PVP players complaing of 'Unkillble' shield stacking sorcs. But what they failed to mention was that on hit from dizzy swing or upcut and those "OP" shield where busted.PS4 EU

Because we are playable that doesn't mean we have fun doing that anymore. My main is/was petsorc for solo content, missions, dolmens and etc. I was able to solo dolmen with 7k dmg from crystals, shields and heal from resto staff and pets tanking everything - now I can't even kill that, because pets die too fast and my shield can't help me while summoning them again."Rise, red as the dawn."1 -

✭✭Can't precisely say if OP is a Troll or not.Yeah...I’ve been reading the PTS threads since the Nerfmire shields nerf was introduced. The “we nerfed shields because of PVE...yeah, that’s the ticket! Because, ahhhhh...because healers aren’t feeling appreciated! Yeah! That’s the ticket!” excuse seems a bit...thin.
Everybody with two brain cells to rub together realizes it’s a nerf because of PVP, not PVE.
Literally no one was QQ’ing about shields in PVE.
On the other hand, almost literally every non-sorc was QQ’ing on the PVP forums about “@&$# shield stackers!!”
The “we ahhh...neerfed it because of healers! Yeah! Sure, why not...” seems more than a bit convenient, a hastily cobbled together retroactive justification for what is plainly intended to be a PVP nerf.
Actually, the health cap does not change much in PvP, because later in the PTS cycle, they made Battle Spirit affecting Shields before the health cap. This is clearly a change to not nerf PvP because of PvE.Edited by Olupajmibanan on October 23, 2018 8:23AM1 -

✭✭I can understand the dev's concern with PvE mechanics, but the problem now is that you are forced to use more heavy armor to compensate, which is against the definition of a typical mage class that most people want to play when playing a magicka sorc.
A better solution would have been to increase the cost of reapplying shield, or to give less and less protection with each consecutive cast.[PC/EU] Tamriel Hero, Stormproof, Grand Master Crafter0 -

No it was a nerf because pve healers didn’t feel useful because of shields.
Usually healers don't like healing ranged dps so I don't see why that's a problem.
But what is a problem is now world bosses and veteran trial and dungeon mobs and VMA mobs can now one shot a magicka class through a shield. As it was, that 16k shield lasted 1 hit from a serious PVE mob, with 2-6k leftover in order to give you a chance to cast it again before you nearly got dropped by the next hit., now you get hit once and are at half health through the shield just from any world boss, a Veteran Trial boss? One shot through the shield easily. Healers can't heal one shot players either.
So now the choice is GUT our damage in order to increase survivability so we CAN be healed through damage and be seen as a joke compared to stam dps who has a lot more armor protection from medium armor than we do from light, who also has more resources with which to block and dodge to evade damage, or we're so glass cannon that a lot of groups won't risk you because they imagine they'll just be ressing you from the floor every time a mechanic goes off. But nobody wants to take sub 10k dps damage dealers, nor does anyone want to take people that die to nothing but a nasty look from the boss.Edited by Arato on October 23, 2018 9:40AM0 -

I personally dont use shields on my magicka toons because I try to buff resistance, both phys and spell. Im not happy with the changes, but im sure you can still do damage esspecially if you have a spammable that both heals and damages. For me personally, I can survive easier on a magicka build without a shield easier than stamina not because of a shield (which is easier, don't get me wrong) but because of skills that heal while damaging. I can spam sweeps on a magplar without casting a shield and am only stopped by one shot mechanics or insane DoTs. On a stamina toon, my biggest enemy is sustain, followed by the typical weapon skills available. Thats just my input though.1 -

dunno how. I mean I use power surge too, but things can plow through 16k health and light armor in one or two hits. so if I was trying to solo a world boss it became a thing of spamming shields back up after every hit I took, if I ever got hit while my healthbar was up I was in deep trouble.if not dead instantly.#1 thing that kills me is being depleted of stamina and eating an attack with a stun attached to it like a clannfear leap or nightblade NPC's casting agony, the next hit since I can't refresh my shield finishes off my shield and takes out 16k health all in that one shot because I can't block.

thats clear BS mate. I am always runnign with a healer and shields dosent make them less usefull at all. they just dont have to worry about much for one person more offten who use shiled and thats a huge relief for teh healers in egneral when it comes to dungeon running with pugs, when bascily half of the group still dont move out of the Sheet or they completly forgot how to dodgerole or simply block. I know a sheet load of healers who are actualy very appreciated when some one in the group is using a shield while he can heal out some of the hopless players in general in dungeons.
So that theroy what teh "devs said" is faild in every term as explanation. And also explain to me why are the PVP forums are full of demanding sroc shield nerfs? Or other sorc related nerfs hm?
And yet we are here at teh full cicrcle runnigning a class again. And gurl if you wanna ask teh question hwo is that ruining a class? Well paly with it yourself including cyrodiil BG and pve enviroment, and you'll see for yoru self.TheValar85 wrote: »Shieldnerf is motivated by pve, not pvp.

Ok, so because you also see people wanting incap nerf and DoS nerf that means they are in need of nerf? No. If the actual game developers say themselves it's because of PvE then You can be pretty damn sure it's because of PvE. I know many sorcs in PvE who say shield are ridiculous bc it lets them run so much content without healers.
Overall, sure people in PvP complain about them, that's gone be because they are inept. They were not a problem, in fact I don't know one person in PvP who would disagree in saying that sorcs being able to pump out big shields is an essential part of their kit.
And also what even is it with you and 'teh', it's 'the' dude, saying 'teh' doesent make you special, doesent make you cool it just makes you look like a fool really.

Well, that “balance” is going to cost you dps, which was already middle-of the road at best. Your class will now be ostracized and laughed at like magdens, if you ever want to do any challenging content, ie trials, dlc vet dungeons, etc. But have fun in pug normal dungeons. LolSakuraRush wrote: »One of my PvE damage characters is a mag sorc. I can count on one hand the number of times I've felt the need to have a healer along in the past 3+ months.
Shield and self healing made everything fairly trivial. The only threats were my own carelessness and one shot mechanics. Damage itself no matter how great has not been a threat if it was not a one shot mechanic.
The changes mean I'll have to include more health and resistances in places it could have been ignored previously. This is not a negative thing. This more of the "balance" people are always crying for.
But sorc is obvioulsy not your main, nor will it be in the next couple of years.1
