This game desperately needs to do something with sorcs, PVP is dying in this game cos of few other things too, but THIS is the main problem. Like 80% of endgame players are playing sorcs, well anyone can wonder WHY.
Any new players will run away from this game just witnessing one of these immortal sorc fights. Funny thing is, that mostly those who play sorcs are crying about nightblades and dragon knights, while sorc is only class that definitely should be nerfed. Dragon knights are rather annoying than OP, while nightblades which should be best in 1v1 combat just suck cos they have none dmg shields and not enough heals, while also they have to use mundus/sets/glyphs to have some sustain in pvp.
To mention magsorcs crazy sustain with their skills, while using mag for infinite shields while dodging infinitely with stamina. Whats to point in such PVP ? magsorc have everyhing now, if using right sets, they are literally immortal in even 1v3, especially cos of streak, which is actually the most annoying and OP spell in the game. Escape, damage, stun and its undodgable, you cant be serious about this spell, NONE other class have anything like this.
Since magsorcs obviously using staffs they are using elemental susceptibility skill from destro skill line, which is FREE of cost, while also having normal attack buffs, so they can save incredible amount of rss just using normal attacks and elem. sus. from far away. This skill is issue on its own, cos its much better than for example nighblades mark target, which is completely useless in ANY scenario.
How PVP looks right now is simple, even if ganking sorcs with NB, scenario is like: NB jump from invis on sorc, gets him to maybe 50% if even (depends on builds) sorc dodges, NB cant do anything while sorc is dodging, between dodges sorc takes 1 000 000 000 dmg shields on him, turns uses streak on NB, throw all his **** on him, NB is dead or almost dead, if still lives he starts running away, sorc uses another sreak, NB is dead, gank over. THIS is 80% of cases with sorcs, and NO, im not playing this game for a week, this is actually a problem in pvp. Sorc with all his dmg and sustain, SHOULD NOT be as tanky as it is, with so many dmg shields. If ill switch my build to sorc, i can do the same, but its like cheating to me, using like BUGs to have advantage.
In BGs this is an issue, but in cyrodiil its a total disease, a group of one DK and two sorcs crosshealing, or even better one arcanist spamming shields/heals is unkillable, even 3v10, both sides spamming milions of spells and no one dies. Other classes are almost unplayable in PVP, even with meta builds, magsorc will melt any other class in 1v1 no matter what, if you put two best players in the game in a duel, one playing sorc, the other one playing literally anything else, its 99% win for the one with sorc.

1. Infinite shields - similar to DKs, but still much more annoying cos of high sorc dmg.
2. Incredibly crazy streak spell which shouldnt be in the game at all.
3. RSS sustain, with tri stat potions and right build makes sorcs literally unkillable, while DK is only class coming close to it.
4. Haunting curse - this annoying noob spell dont even need to be described, especially when it stays on you even after death.
5. Too many undodgable spells and other source DMG.

So, lets compare to NB for example, than everyone is crying about for years
2. NO SHIELDS AT ALL
3. Supposed to be duelant/ganker with high burst damage - now in PVE content prob even plate armor arcanist can do more dmg (just kidding, its actually good still, but cant be compared to for example sorc still). In pvp NBs SINGLE target spells are sometimes EVEN weaker than other classes AoEs, which is crazy but ok.
4. NB is prob hardest class to play in the game, cos its useless as tank, and weak as a healer, while lack enough dmg/debuffs to be a DD in pvp. Only thing NB is still strong at, is when execute some low HP targets, in normal fight its almost useless, in comparison to sorcerer its a JOKE literally, no matter build/spells anything.
5. Mark target which is supposed to be one of the best spells, is useless completely. It shows your target that hes gonna be targeted, which sucks, especially if you want to gank someone, wich is prob something that this class is supposed to be good at. It gives no dmg/debuffs nothing, when you kill enemy you heal to full, wuah, incredibly usefull rly.
6. No AoE dmg, wouldnt be actually a problem, if SINGLE target spells will be stronger.

Theres literally no other problem, im not even saying to boost NB in any way, keep it as it is, but sorcs needs to be changed. Now too many ppl playing this class, cos it can go like GOD mode, which is destroying any fun of pvp gameplay. I can already see those comments of those like 80% of pvp community here playing this class exactly for those reasons crying that sorc is still weak and it needs boost not nerf, while saying **** about skill issue. Well, if you think that its SKILL running around as sorc, killing ppl, then i pity, you, cos its like using cheats, in this case, its using a HOLE in the game to have advantage.

And if youre wondering, im playing build fully buffed 25k res. front bar, 28k backbar with pariah jew/wep. 25k HP, around 15k pen, around 2k mag/stam sustain, 5400 wep dmg, 32% crit chance. Build im using is best you can put on NB, i can kill other classes in 80% cases, but against sorcs, its like 80% to loose, they either drain me out of rss with their infinite shields, or just run away from me using streak buffing/healing to full and taking dmg shields for at least half a bar, while im still taking ton of dmg from status effects and dots.

Other classes are more less equal now, even DKs while they are second in pvp right after sorcs, they are still OK, but sorcs should be dealt with somehow. Most ppl in this game not even playing pvp at all, and like 70% of those who do, doing so only for daily rewards, im one of such ppl, cos this pvp mechanics is nonsense, and im old player with hundreds of hours in-game, i cant even imagine someone new who dont understand this game yet, to play pvp, he would literally just uninstall, OR he will stay playing solo open world content/questing. Cos pvp in current state is a total JOKE.

I would remove dmg shields from pvp at all, and problem solved, i see no reason why DDs should have so many deffs. I have crazy deffs with ZERO shields, and good survivability with those few heals i have. If you give spell like streak and dmg shield to every class, then damn, that would be experience, would ruin game completely, sorc noobs would finally start playing something else tho.
Removing shields from pvp completely could save this games pvp for a couple more years, now during whitestrake it was a distaster, milions of dmg shields, ZERO tactics, team with more shields wins, even heals are not problem at all in this game, but those shields ARE A BIG PROBLEM IN PVP.
