Shieldbreaker + wings — being proc'd by your OWN reflected light attacks

    For an OP set, I think I've seen it used maybe 5 times since it was introduced. IM on PC/NA.

    OH WOW.... a Sorc lost to a DK, come in here and cry likes Sorcs always do.

    Didn't you guys already get Sheild Breaker nerfed last year? yeah, now it only proc's once on a staff.

    Maybe when ZOS fixes targeting so you can't hide behind your pets, and probably Engine Guardian for extra cheese then they can nerf sheild breaker again?


    Sorcs make me laugh, 2 big sheilds, endless recovery, Encase, Curse, hiding behind pets, streak, mages wrath and the one class that can sometimes "hold them off" Dragon Knights they endless complain about because they lose one fight because their cookie cutter burst didn't work. wow

    I think its mostly cause shieldbreaker is purely broken and shouldnt be in the game in its current state.

    And btw, nice necro

    If a DK equips the Shieldbreaker set & uses wings, light attacking them not only reflects your attack back at you... it also procs their Shieldbreaker on you.

    So now basically:
    • Can't burst, because wings are up
    • Can't shield-up and erode wings with LAs, because Shieldbreaker procs will f*** you
    • Can't forgo the shield and use LAs, because reflected LAs and the DK's own damage will f*** you

    I'm not even going to delve into the issue of why Oblivion damage still exists in its current state—whatever your stance on the matter, blatantly exploitable spaghetti code like this needs to be patched ASAP.

    This will be fixed in the next update. Wings will no longer reflect, instead you get a flat % damage reduction,

    Also shield breaker will no longer be a thing. Finally. This was one of the most imbalanced sets.
