During this patch I've played a bunch of magsorc builds, as always. But it's becoming more and more apparent that shields just don't work properly anymore. For those of you who watch my streams, you can hear me complain every time about how long it takes before it actually casts. Maybe I'll stick to no-shield builds more often because of this performance. Hopefully I'm wrong though, it would only mean more generalization between classes and sorc is very unique with it's shield-based defense.
