Shield Bug on Magicka Sorcerer

Hey, shield bug has existed for nearly a year and would like this to get fixed. If you don't know what shield bug is, you basically cast a shield only to not do anything. Imagine playing any other class where you can't heal or cast anything defensive for 3-6 seconds. Sorcs first line of defense is shields, and in this case, bugs get me killed.

We also have a lot of bugs, shield bug, streak bug, Overload bug, Atronach bug, undo bug, and much more. This isn't a nerf or buff this thread, but sorc identity is bugs and it has gotten so bad and out of hand I've been able to kill people with health desync and I just tell them... Hey don't hate my class identity is bugs.

People don't like to be killed by health desync, and I dont like to die from bugs. Elemental weapon and overloads have caused a health desync for several patches, and Shield bug is getting really bad lately.

As a player looking to Xv1 people and getting killed, I try to learn from my mistakes. But in this case, if a bug obstructs my ability to stay alive or respond against an opponent I will not be able to be a good zergling.

Hopefully I don't get in trouble posting youtube links showing shield bug, but I hope to keep this constructive and direct this towards a solution. Any magsorcs out there with the same frustration as me?

    Every fight with a sorc, be it a 1v1 or a winnable 1vX will always be dictated by the bugs... Sad to see that even a year on us the PLAYERS have to keep pointing out the well known bugs...

    #nerfsorcs :D

    hehe, seriously, they let some bugs go on for so long you just got to learn to live with them. Sort of like undo from the psijics line. I know when I hit that button it's probably a 50/50 shot of it actually working right and yet I still gamble and slot it anyway while praying one day they might actually fix it properly.
