I made a topic about this before but I see now that theres a forum for this so im just going to copy paste it here.

Im all for the 50% more magicka cost change, i'm a sorcerer and sorcerers who bail out annoy me too as i have no way to catch up, i could spam bolt escape to catch up but by the time I run out of magicka and catch up, they will have regained magicka and just bolt escape away again.. So im all for this change, what i don't like is the every 4 second debuff change and let me explain why.

My style of PvP, especially in 1v1 is that i'm as fragile as glass, i can't take hits because my play style is based around mobility, i use bolt escape once or twice to get away from the Nightblade or DK who can kill me in a few hits and i attack from a small range. This is working perfectly for me and the difference between me and a runner is that I use my bolt escape maybe once every few seconds while a runner use it every second. Making it a 4 second debuff ruins my playstyle as well.
I would suggest changing it to a 2 second debuff, tops 3 seconds.

Now people might hate bolt escape so much that they will automatically hate my idea but If the change goes through with 4 second debuff I will be forced to change my play style to one with defensive buffs like Annulment, bound armor, Critical Surge and harness magicka and spam Impulse and what's going to happen then? People are going to complain about Impulse being too OP (tbh, it kinda does a lot of damage) which will then force my play style to change to something else until i'm forced to run a sorcerer with twin blade spec just to have a chance to do something..
