I belive learning to use them more efficiently will increase combat performance of that build quite a lot. Plus magicka build made a choice to have those pools smaller therefore not to be able to utilize those defenses that much. I'm currently playing a Stamina Templar in Heavy Armor with 2H and Bow, which taught me a lot about rolldodging and blocking "at the right moment" not waste my stamina and really mediocre stamina regen ticks so I consider my argument about those defenses still valid. I might have exaggerated those numbers a bit to much to make a point, my bad.Ģ. Curious wether you'll actually try to dispute my arguments.ġ. So no - the set is not balanced at all currently. And most magicka builds use shields, with the Sorcs not even having an alternative. A good player with shieldbreaker has a massive advantage fighting a magicka Sorcerer or any other build using shields. Of course good players will adapt, but that doesn't mean the game is balanced at all. Surge requires to stay on the offense, wich makes you unable to use other healing spells thus won't save you either. Maybe you forgot you also had Cloak on your NB.ĭark Exchange is a joke as a heal, and at best capable of healing a fraction of the damage done by shieldbreaker. Of course a good player utilizes block and dodge, but those can not be used a lot anymore after the nerf. Most Sorcs have 19k-23k hp, sorry, most players. "Best defense is a good offense" is very valid in case of sorcerer class more than enywhere else. "Sorc doesn't have class heal, we have to rely on healing ward" - last time I checked my one year unplayed sorc he had a skill called Dark Exchange that trades stamina for HP and Magicka and self heal via critical hits with Surge on. "Shields are ONLY sorc's defense" - really? you can't roll or block? how so? I can do that on my magicka NB, and maybe invest a little in other stats than going nearly 50k magic You play THE CLASS with the best mobility abilities in game. "4 (5,6.) Light attacks killed me" - well, come to do some PvP with more that 14-16k HP, and move while when being attacked, dont stand and wait for yet another attack coming, you know we all have to do that. My favourite sorc reasonings for nerfing/removing shied breaker set: Every other class and their respective Samina/Magicka builds actually use the other pool as well as some reasonable amount of HP. Mayebe its about the right time for the magical caster sorcerers to start coming to cyrodil with more than 15k HP, relying on their insane "all-out-magicka pool" for defense AND offense at the same time. Or put on a 2-3 second cooldown? Or given a damage buff and put on a x% chance on ability cast or something." "Now perhaps the damage needs to be reduces a little bit. If I do 10 auto-attacks in.what, like 6 or 7 seconds that's 20k damage for spamming light attacks. I think 2k pure damage per auto attack is a bit too much. And that's exactly what shield breaker should be against (for example) a shield spamming Sorc- an advantage. For example, I'd have an advantage over someone using shield breaker. I don't want to overly downplay the value of a good 5 piece bonus. It is more than worth it considering the amount of shields that exist and are being used. Likely even less considering both set bonuses and traits on this set are very good for any stamina build in pvp. The sacrifice is one 5 pc bonus at most (for another). It is more than worth it considering the amount of shields that exist and are being good player with shieldbreaker has a massive advantage fighting a magicka Sorcerer or any other build using shields." I've had to adjust my playstyle A LOT with the dodge roll and speed nerfs, I'm excited to see how other classes and builds will deal. I DO like the attempt to force Mag Sorcs to supplement their defenses with something besides shield spam, if that's what shieldbreaker was intended to do. Or put on a 2-3 second cooldown? Or given a damage buff and put on a x% chance on ability cast or something. Now perhaps the damage needs to be reduces a little bit. The player who chooses to counter shields must then deal with the consequences (fighting every other player without a 5 piece bonus at all). It is more a counter to one type of defense. I don't think this set is an "I win" button so much. But that good player also has to make sacrifices for that advantage, do they not? Upon equipping that 5 piece, the player is suddenly at a disadvantage against anyone NOT using a shield (I love fighting shieldbreaker sets as I don't use that type of defense in my build). Good player with shieldbreaker has a massive advantage fighting a magicka Sorcerer or any other build using shields."
