Mist form

Syiccal

Is it just me or is Race against time still feel better to use..I think for me it's the full stop you come to before you can start sprinting after the initial dash

Yeah it's not great. I used to like to back bar it and nudge the button slightly before swapping bars to get the 300 extra damage, but now it's clunky and doesn't really feel like you're that much more mobile either. Maybe it'll just take time to get used to it but I definitely don't love it at the moment.

What's saving it for me at the moment is being able to animation cancel into a new action right as the teleport ends, you'll still be animated as mist but you'll already be roll dodging or whatever. It's disappointingly clunky and janky for sure, especially since I came back from a 6mo break just for this skill. Guess we pray to Sithis the fabled u38 combat rewrite works.

I'm starting to like it the more I use it perhaps it just needs an adjustment period.. its stoll clunky but I'm gonna keep working with it due to the passiv benefits it offers

Elusive Mist is a bit awkward at times to use, but it is pretty good when you time it right and can get the position you're going for down.

The problem is definitely the janky feeling of having to confirm the location you're dashing to, but there's a way to fix that in settings by having all ground placed AoEs autoconfirm the spot. Less precision, but it fires off instantly without a hitch.

The setting that'll "help" mistform, but it does change all the confirmation based AoEs.

I've been really enjoying the skill, then again, I'm a sorc main and well used to the hitch/freeze at the end of the teleport because streak does that fairly often too (especially if there's even the slightest elevation shift along the path of streak)

Block cancel a second before it ends and start sprinting or roll doge, or whatever.

Sad that a sorc main (Turtle) prefers it over streak. Reasons to play Magsorc dwindle to nothing…

Wouldn't say I prefer it, but I definitely enjoy it as much as streak and it is definitely a very strong alternative to BoL.

They both have their ups and downs.

Streak: generally slightly faster to cast (0.3s compared to 0.6 seconds on average, mostly due to the confirm action needed for mist), has a stun.
Mist form: better passives and secondary buffs/effects from using it, more accurate to use making it better in enclosed spaces, cheaper to use.

You can play as a necromancer. Then you will have quite a lot of reasons to play as a sorcerer. Even if there is a skill similar to a streak, it does not mean that the sorcerer does not have other unique skills. In this meta, nb and dk are very strong, but this does not mean that the sorcerer is so downright bad. Rather, the fattest meta is bad.

I absolutely love New mist.

No more mist tanks!!!!!!

It's cheap at stage four which I run at.

I get major speed buff after it ends...it's so good

Agree with Bacon that mist tanks were super annoying. Imagine the absurdity of a skill that allows players to simply “vanish” and escape damage…

i can imagine something worse that has no counter, if that vanish gets a counter, imagine teleporting away behind a wall or up a platform instantly if u pre place the teleport

ye mist is slow and clunky and race ag time is better, but mist can get u over pits and platforms which a raceagtime user can't
