Since about 90% of the players in bgs are sorcs, streak spamming is no longer bareable. Its extremely annoying.
Unblockable, gap closer/escape, AOE, stun. Just a bit too much, isnt it?
Get rid of stun (one class stun - rune prison - is enough) or at least make it blockable.

Streak getcs sorcs in high end groups killed very often if not used properly thus this is a trivial convo

Stam sorc is again bottom of the stam food chain. Mag sorc is even worse than that.

That's a spicy meatball

Why post about whether streak needs nerfed or buffed? You're just discussing it with people who can't do anything about it either way. The people who can do something, don't respond with any feedback whatsoever. You might as well just go outside and discuss "STREAK" with a tree near your house. The result will be the same.

Maybe give streak the same treatment that they gave DK : Make the skill range 4 meters.

If DK can get screwed, then I don't see why Sorcs can't.

My only issue with streak is after the first one it's almost always to get away, which is fine. My one little beef is I don't think the ramping cost is strong enough.

As a NB, I get "stuck" in detect all the damn time, whether it's a dot, a guard being omnipresent, or just the game being junk. So if I have to hit stealth more than 3 times in a row in boned for mag. Even on my magblade there's only so much I can spam stealth.

Now, I have a sorc but I don't enjoy the class so I don't play it. So I'm not expert. But I see dudes all the time steak 3+ times and still have enough mag to shield up, turn around and attack you as you come running

So it doesn't seem the ramping cost does what it's supposed to. The only reason to hit steak more than once it's to get away. I have no issue with them escaping but that should cost the ability to immediately attack with just a tick or two of recovery.

Sorc (stam and mag) player here.

Streak really is awful to use, even when you do successfully pull off your wombo combo. I'd wager Toppling Charge or Surprise Attack is way more reliable and useful than Streak for offensive purposes, whereas Streak is more versatile in the escape it offers, but at that point why not use Ball of Lightning?

Without Streak, which is unblockable but also has increased Magicka cost on successive use and requires us to reposition ourselves, often having to 180º spin afterwards, sorcs have to rely on Rune Prison and Encase for CC from class abilities, both of which are really weak in PvP, Ultimate ability stuns, or conditional stuns such as Dizzying Swing and Crushing Shock.

My two cents? I'd love if it the aforementioned class CC abilities we have were made more powerful and Streak lost its stun (in favor of a +Damage bonus or Magicka refund on hitting an enemy or Major Expedition or something) so we could more reliably stun enemies without messing up our positioning.

This should be changed. Can't block it, for 4 seconds higher cost? You wait 6 seconds and then stun your opponent again.
Currently, there is no more annoying opponent than Sorc. No wonder BG on high MMR to 3/4 sorc, where you only watching streak. Like wierd crossover Harry Potter with Jumper movie. BG are unplayable for others class with high mrr.

Streek gives you a huge advantage in fighting and escaping. Combined with the rest of the Sorcs skills (like stucking shield), you cant just fight with him on equal terms
