This is extremely broken at the moment.
@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_RichLambert can you please look into this and get a fix ASAP.
This is how I'm forced to do it on Dk since no ranged dps other than crushing lol. Just make sure you have 20k of shields stacked and you're g2g.
Yeah i can see sorcs having an okay time with this, but for other classes it's simply unacceptable.

✭Guess that answers the question of whether I should give it another shot after this patch. Thanks for saving me the frustration OP.I am currently worried for the future of ESO. Population seems like it is in free fall and the cancellation of the North America in-person gathering feels very much like pulling the plug. Kudos on fixing the in-game economy though. Clearly whatever gold shenanigans were happening the last couple years are fixed.1 -

Adapt and overcome.
I did. I did this with my NB, I burned him and ignored adds while keeping harness up. When i got him to 50%, i picked up defense and attack sigil and kept burning him. If an add died i bashed his scream killed other add and continued to burn him while kiting him. This was really the only way to do it with the shield mechanic broken.Server: PC - North America - Daggerfall/Ebonheart

So use your ranged attack? Spam freaking venom arrow, I kill him with Crushing shock which does garbage damage. You act like stamina character means you *have* to melee.

It has nothing to do with being a sorc, there is just no reason to take any damage at all in that fight if you're ranged as everything is avoidable or reflectable.
And as I said, screw snipe, spam venom arrow, you'll do less damage but as I said, with this bug it will take a little longer to kill him. Big deal.
I run vMSA with sword and board and don't shield stack, I use Hardened Ward only so your sorc comments are irrelevant.

It doesn't really matter. It is just kind of hard to take a Sorc seriously that is going on about how easy it is. Yes, it is easy for you, your class is the easy mode class for Maelstrom. It is harder for someone built around melee damage to deal with the boss if the mechanics were inadvertently broken in an update....Edited by timidobserver on November 16, 2015 10:29PMV16 Uriel Stormblessed EP Magicka Templar(main)

I agree the same can be done with a stam build, but tbh all you need is hardened ward all I use is hardened and power surge and It is still easy.Invictus
