Why nerf shields again?

Why??? To balance pvp? And what about pve?

"Balance fixes" always happened/always will happen because of PvP... PvE sticks along with the consequences, because ZOS refuses to separate both, regardless if they're good or bad.

And the ZOS says "Look, new items on crown store. Go check them out"

Maybe ZOE would like you to have a shield around 6-5K in PvE and not 18K.

ya know, some classes had/have shields about 2-5k funny thing is they dont use them. because there trash and not worth a slot

Fully agree. Shields have been mostly dropped in PVE because they are a joke now. By the time you cast it it's gone when taking real damage that it was designed to deal with. This means it is a brutal magicka drain and since mag characters don't have a lot of stam you are simply dead. Shields were meant to allow mag DPS to survive a bit when they couldn't escape with a dodge roll or block through it.

Just a friendly reminder that it’s okay to disagree and debate on the official ESO forums, but we do ask that you keep all disagreements civil, constructive, and on-topic.

I spec into resists on every character. I don't mind if I need to rez a Tank every now and then and help them fix their survivability issue. You can still keep your shield, just put a bit more into resistance and you'll do fine.
