@ZOS_GinaBruno , @ZOS_BrianWheeler , @ZOS_Anyone?
90% of the bugs/exploits/broken skills I have encountered have been from Sorcs. As somewone doesn't play a sorc, until sorcs are fixed I wont be resubscribing...
Please do tell me about all this bugs, exploits and broken skills. Proof and examples, if you don't mind.
Because 90% of the time you don't know it's coming. Someone in mist form and can't be targeted and has no health bar, then BOLT turn BOLT turn BOLT turn.if you know it's coming, why won't you block? Or move away?
Plus, a good bit of time, blocking does nothing to prevent the bolt from disorienting you, especially if there is a large group around, because this causes lag. You may show you are blocking, but the character attacking you that you do see is actually already past you and has cast bolt already.

Devs already have my screenshots of proof, as well as detailed accounts, and possible solutions. What they do with them is out of my control.
That's a: I've already been reprimanded for posting specifics here and told to inform the debs and that it didn't have a place on the forums. So I'm telling you not only do I not feel the need to prove it to YOU, but also that I'm apparently not ALLOWED to.Road2insanity777 wrote: »Road2insanity777 wrote: »Is it intended that Streak (the morph of Bolt Escape) for Sorcerers has an unlimited number of targets that it can damage+disorient?

See a blob of players? Block or move away. Going into a breach? Pop immovable or maneuvers. It's really not that hard, dude. Now, I'm sure people will whine "but immovable doesn't work half the time" and it's true, but nerfing a skill based on lag or bugs just doesn't make any sense because the skill is not broken, the game is.

It is responsible NOT to post bugs and exploits to the general public because that would just be letting folks inclined to cheat know what and how to do it. There is no need to publish these IMO. Clearly there have been bugs and exploits within the game. I think it's pretty much a reasonable statement that indicates such without details.

Guys please create tickets not in game but via website (to get your ticket number) and report uncapped streak aoe exploit, and soon you'll find in patch notes that zos changed this broken mechanics due to players requests
teach them how to play fair
I was about to point out how mage light's pointless, then I remembered you're talking about farming bads who don't even purge and likely aren't stacking impenetrable, when you mentioned oil. ._.

I get ambushed by 4,4k spikes by ever-cloaking NBs, lethal arrowed for 2,4k, permastunned with no cc immunity triggering after breaking out from the after cloak stun, i could go on... and you still complain about streak?
Seriously?

I see most people using dropped sets, like trials stuff, nowadays. And I know every wizard is using warlock and thats 2 pieces of non-impen right there.
Current sorc rotation : streak, shard, shard, shard, (they get 3 off because the person holding block moves at 25% speed) when the other player gets close, streak, shard, shard, shard, (player out of stamina) execute.
I love when people who have never played a class (obvious from what I quoted above) are calling for nerfs.
They should keep the streak as it is but just take away the disorient. The action should be just a retreat ability not an offensive tool. One of the biggest problems with blobs are sorcs streaking ahead of blobs to remove stamina from people followed by dk's who spam talons (perma rooted) and vamps behind them spamming bats and impulse.
if you know it's coming, why won't you block? Or move away?
How can I block or move if the characters don't even render on my screen? most vamp sorcs go invisible and streak with bats. Wonder how much crying will happen when they fix that exploit. Not to mention the forum breaking crying if they disabled your action bar while you blocked.
HAHAHA what am I saying ZoS can't even fix the game breaking bugs going on now. One thing is for sure. Everyone playing a sorc is trying their very very hardest to shut these types of threads down. Playing a sorc is so easy mode god forbid you would have to learn to play.

Characters not rendering is not a sorc issue, neither is action bar disable (I'm guessing that's the skill going all grey and not working). I just don't see the easy mode.
About that rotation, I just laughed a little. Are you seriously getting hit by hard cast crystal at least 2 times after 1 streak? Man I would love to fight you, I can't get away with doing this so called easy mode rotation on players new to pvp.
Also, immovable is your friend.
New to pvp and just got powned by some sorc? Yeah its been like that since launch (besides the cooldown nerf) so it works well and as intended.L2P or get used to it and leave the sorcs alone it was and still is the only close to balanced class in the buggy game.
Well if hitting 300-400 damage to each person is very little damage with no target caps (maxing out spell damage and magicka). People who know how to use it, cast it a couple of times, gets up enough ultimate, uses ultimate, 4 second magicka timer is up and can chain it again.
And it seems to work most of the time from what I can see. You're probably pointing yourself at a wall or something.

I am assuming your issue stems from it's use in PvP. I have a solution without the need for a target cap, don't bunch up. Streak has an area of effect if you are not in that area you are completely unaffected. You can also block to mitigate the effects. It is that simple

yep. sure am. 1k+ every time. even though I purge all de-buffs and have 2k+ spell resistance.Also, immovable is your friend.
Immovable is broken. But then most people already know this. Not sure why you don't.
First off 13-16 point is NOWHERE near 10k damage. Also it is a line 15 meters LONG not wide, not a radius, or diameter, a line, so if you are not DIRECTLY in front of said caster you are unaffected. How is that op double tab to the right or left, maybe try blocking, problem solved.I am assuming your issue stems from it's use in PvP.

So give me an uncapped AOE that does 10K damage to everyone in range. It's not OP because you can just stand out of range. See how stupid that sounds?
