✭✭The new Shield Breaker buffs your dmg by a whopping 12% if the enemy is using a damage shield. If you can't kill a magsorc with that buff then there are other problems you have to worry about.Edited by ccmedaddy on April 15, 2019 9:15PM14 -
Jaxaxo✭✭✭✭there is nothing wrong with shieldstacking sorcs
sorc class is already balanced and doing same as the other classes
all this is, is a nerf sorc, nerf shield, and Dream destroy shield and sorc revenge
shieldbreaker change was great choice from Brian Wheeler
Brian Wheeler has been promoted to working on class balance. he is perfect for the job and hes very intelligent, he has zero need of being headed in the diffrent direction like you suggested
there is nothing wrong with new shieldbreaker
the developers made it balanced

✭✭✭✭✭The Shieldbreaker change isn't even a nerf. It is a pretty huge buff. Mainly because it deals damage to all players all of the time from every skill you use. I may actually replace Hawk's Eye with Shieldbreaker on my bow/bow pvp build.0 -

✭How about not letting shields stack, and reverting shield nerfs back to pre-Nerfmire.

✭✭✭✭Shield Breaker: Redesigned this item set so it no longer deals damage when you Light Attack a target with a shield active. Now, it increases your damage dealt by 6% at all times. This effect is doubled when attacking targets with a damage shield active.
Wow, sounds nice!

[Deleted User]Soul ShrivenHello there,
Recently we've had to remove a few posts for baiting, which is against the Forum Rules. While opposing opinions are always welcome, be sure to stay constructive and respectful when giving them.
Thank you for understanding.0 -
Zophix✭✭✭Although I didn't agree with shield breaker, I felt it was to strong, I still feel as if sorc shields are also a bit too strong. I'd rather see hardened ward increase the shield strength based on the amount of enemies in proximity to the sorc.0 -

@Gilvoth
stop trying to destroy shields
stop trying to destroy our shield playstyle every single day making request threads to destroy sorc playstyle.
nothing wrong with what we have, its been here since 5+ years.
i have the right to use a shield in eso.
eso has shields ingame, they are both Lore and ingame the same as all the other MMO's

It should have a %-based mitigation component like what DKs just got for their wings. Apparently, it is an issue when DKs get hit by multiple targets, but it is not when sorcs do.
But implementing what you suggest would be way too volatile and way to resource-intensive.0 -

I still feel that cloak is the strongest defense in game. Is it counterable by detect pots or radiant magelight? It is, yet still only very small minority of players uses them in BGs.Edited by Olupajmibanan on April 16, 2019 4:04PM0 -

✭✭If you can’t kill a shield stacking sorc, your damage is way too low or you aren’t CCing enough.1 -

✭In the past the Sorc shield stack was much stronger. ZOS then balanced shields a bit and now I don't think they're too strong. They're about right. Good sorcs know how to build their stack and resistances to make them strong and are rewarded for it.
I was the biggest advocate for the more recent bout of shield balancing and shields are now in a good spot. Not every sorc is "instant God Mode" now.
Shieldbreaker as a set was a hangover to a time where balance wasn't handled as carefully. Now it has its unique perk to it and its essence, but doesn't simply make it so you can spam light attacks to kill sorcs by endless procs.
Great move from Wheeler and his team.Edited by OneKhajiitCrimeWave on April 16, 2019 4:28PMDark Flare is the Beginning, Radiant is the End. Hail the Light Bringers!1 -
josh.lackey_ESO✭✭✭✭✭Shields are currently too weak. Nerfmire changes needs to be revered. As well as return the overload bar, and remove streak cost increase.
Mag Sorc is the worst PvP class now by far. There is only one viable semi-competitive build as a troll tank with master staff.
What we really need to nerf is Cloak. It should only offer damage mitigation and partial invisibility. 100% miss chance, DoT suppression, and total invisibility is far too powerful.Edited by josh.lackey_ESO on April 16, 2019 4:37PM1 -
juhislihis19✭✭✭✭If you can’t kill a shield stacking sorc, your damage is way too low or you aren’t CCing enough.
Don't worry. Magica players can now spam RAT for CC iimmunity.
Does anyone know (from experience) if the new 5th piece bonus is additive? I mean the swords have 3/6% damage bonus but in reality its just 2-3%.1 -

This all sounds strangely familiar..
I thought I was the only one who thought that was Dwemer on a different forum account but on Sorcs side this time.0
