Why would they nerf shields ?
Because they said : " Harness Magicka and Conjured Ward skills are overshadowing and diminishing the role of healers" ?
If they are smart enough they will read our feedback, shields aren't the problem ...
MagNb are the problem, most of the time you will read in chat " Looking for 2 Mag Nb - 1 DD - 1 Tank for pledge 6 keys " + Some groups will just go full magNB and 1 sorc healer for alkosh uptime and minor prophecy ( for raids ).
And the fact that all dungeon except dragon bones and Wolf-hunters dungeon are faceroll easy ... is another reason why healers are not needed.
Do you really think nerfing damage shields would reduce damage in PVE ? 1 health enchant max and it's enough, then push for max damage, this won't stop the MagNB meta.
Damage Shields make PvE cake. I out-shield bursty mechanics with ease on my magsorc.
Funnelhealth,High Dps, High sustain make PVE faceroll easy. Out-heal bursty mechanics or Skip them ... with ease on magNb.
Yeah, but magblades being too strong is pretty common knowledge, and has already been mentioned to the devs.
Same things about shields in the class rep meeting notes, but they are wrong, MagNB and faceroll easy dungeons are overshadowing and diminishing the role of healers ... not shields.
Do you think nerfing shield would fix the issue ? This would just make MagNB even better than other magicka players using shields, and the meta would stay the same.
Let's fix the issue with MagNB first, nerf a bit the heal of funnel health on the nearby ally ( it should stay better than elemental weapon ofc ), give all class unique utility ( not just synergies ) like the possibility to apply off-balance ect ... and all class should reward skilful gameplay with sustain and DPS ( magNB is the only class that reward skilful gameplay [Good Weaving] With sustain [Siphonning attacks] and better DPS [merciless Resolve] ).
Shields are not the issue, Do you really believe what you wrote ? " They would need to invest into their health pool // This would reduce the damage output " Ahah xD, or do you just seize the opportunity to destroy shields in PVP because they said shields were overshadowing and diminishing the role of healers in PVE ?
Damage shields are too potent in every aspect of this game and need to be nerfed. I play magsorc and stamblade and there's a very noticeable difference in survivability. Whenever I'm on my magsorc kills comes very easy (easier than my stamblade), but when I'm being pressured it's like a vacation in comparison to my stamblade. I'm not even sweating, and will win the grand majority of my 1vX encounters.
Play a non-stealth medium armor build then play a shield stacking sorc. Then come back to me and tell me that shields aren't OP.
Rework shieldbreaker set to increase dmg on shields and make defile affect shield strength also.
@usmguy1234 I literally just beat Extreme Behemoth. What a royal pain that was! If my guild mates don't need help with him tonight I'll start that analysis.
I could do a thread on how cloak is too strong and you'll translate that as a nerf sorc thread.
I agree remove shield stacking!

You trying gear out my stamblade?
It looks nice still debating on rather or not to use it over troll king.You trying gear out my stamblade?
I'm loving the new Balorgh set man. It feels so rewarding using your ult now, and when you're being patient by waiting for the best opportunity to land your burst, you're rewarded for your patience.
Easy fix to shields just let each shield absorb ONLY a certain type of damage. Back in the day harness magicka and its morphs use to only absorb magic damage. So revert it back to this and make conjured ward ONLY absorb physical damage, and healing ward absorb physical and magic damage, but it should be smaller.

No. If anything shields should be stronger with the damage and healing available to stam builds. Then again, I wouldn't want that to happen too if I always needed to crutch on DBoS to win and became a wet noodle after I couldn't use it either. How about the easy fix be that anyone complaining about it examine their build and give up tankiness/sustain like everyone else that either shields or does a lot of damage does? What a concept.

I dont think you get what I mean, shields in pvp are fine I dont care about shields in pvp this isnt only a pvp issue and zos stated that shields are the biggest problem in pve where a healer and tank arent necessary, a friend and i can clear veteran level dungeons with a magicka nightblade with no healer or tank just the 2 of us.
Show me one thread i made asking to Nerf sorcs?I'll help you you can't. Harness and Hardened shouldn't stack Hardened Healing have at it.Good it shouldn't stack.I think he ruined his credibility by saying, go play medium armor stamNB without using cloak and then go play shield stacking magSorc and see whats better. That is literally his argument why magSorc is op, lol...and that is your most vocal "nerfSorc" pusher on this form.
Worst thing, ZoS listen ppl like that, that will make 4-5 treads daily and wont stop until they get their way. I would bet $ that in next balance patch ZoS will gut Hardened Ward, or wont allow HW and HM to stack and then finally we can burry MS and let it RIP.
Typical NB BS. Let's give sorcs a heal that takes 6 seconds to actual heal the sorc and gets dimished by each additional damage and deny sorcs to mitigate damage while they are waiting for that heal to finally proc.
Well, what's to be expected from the second most vocal "nerf Sorc" pushers ... . You guys don't want balance, you want easy kills and no opposition. Funny how it's almost always stamblades whining about other classes and calling for unwaranted nerfs.You trying gear out my stamblade?

But on a sorc that would be OP!

Multiple sorcs have said they would have been fine with that change or only stack Hardened and healing.
It always people like you who couldn't fight out of a wet paper bag always crying.

That is gonna get all stam people enraged. All the rage... mmm...And make dodge and block only evade Physical Damage. For the magical damage you got your healing!
If I posted a request like that I would get get 1000 angry NB replies and hate mails within the first hour.
