With the nerf of shields in the past, the change of steadfast ward, and the sorc nerfs lately, should casting a shield have a chance to crit, increasing the shield strength?
Just bring back old shields, non critable and dependant on max magicka.
Also, bring back old wings + old dark cloak (with the purge) to cope with the DoT meta. It is quite unfair only magplars have a chance to deal with DoTs
Sarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly
I was born with the wrong sign
In the wrong house
With the wrong ascendancy
I took the wrong road
That led to the wrong tendencies
I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
On the wrong day of the wrong week
Used the wrong method with the wrong technique
Magicka Sorcerers are still powerful. I dontnthinka they need a nerf and shields still work pretty well.
Templars with this meta seems to be the easy way to play. DoTs, Onsalught, Eclipse, Gap closer with a stun, massive snares from their abilities to limit your movement, and of course the usual jab spam after they’ve set you up.
Imagine crit-buffed stacked shields and the resulting invincibility against almost anyone or anything. It would make the game less fun IMO, as many players would focus all energy and effort into developing a crit-shield meta that makes even the toughest battles a monotonous exercise of spamming shields.
