Wow....you must suck if you think words are lousy at PvP....

What do we have now? Streak and negate? And we're slowly losing streak.

ok, apprently I missed specifics. Streak was building ult too fast because it hit unlimited amounts of enemies. I play a sorc in PvP, and have never used this trick to build ult. Did they finally announce how they were fixing this? Lets hope it's the obvious answer, and they don't do something stupid.

Here is a "pro tip". Don't use a tactic that is obviously OP and will be nerfed really quick, and you won't feel the nerf. Same with the blazing shield expoit, the the triple shield trick, the mist form exploit....

They made streak have the same aoe cap as every other aoe. How does this "nerf sorcs to the ground?"

It appears that many players confuse blatantly obvious bug fixes with nerfs.

In regards to the streak nerf - all they had to do was make it properly blockable. Was easy enough to break out of in the first place unless you had several sorcs spamming it all over you (that hasn't really happened to me since the initial nerfs to streak and batswarm); I never had a problem countering it on my templar or my sorc when hit by other sorcs using streak. Not to mention a well placed negate will stop a streaking sorc dead.

Admittedly I relied on it for my own sorc playstyle, as an offensive weapon. Never depended on bat swarm or AoE spells like all the batswarm bombers did. It was one of the few tools I had for dealing with DKs, tho things have changed for them too.

I did enjoy using it in combination with the strom atro ult and CF procs (and to great effect), it was a great tool to eat into the flanks of incoming zergballs or slow them up when said zerg was rushing through breaches or mowing down allies out in the field.

The nerf will definetly decrease the survivability of streak users and most likely force them to adapt/change playstyle if they want to remain competitive in pvp as sorcs.

Personally I enjoyed how it worked and don't currently feel like relearning how to play my sorc toons differently, that i've spent months on, and will probably shelve my sorc toons and go play templar again, if I continue playing. I'll be waiting a bit to see how things settle with all the changes and bugs.

Zeni you guys change way too much *** at once with your game updates, I don't know how you guys can expect to "balance" stuff when these updates change so many things at once, rebalancing your balancing crap will take months most likely and several more patches with a lot more changes.

well kragorn, we cant really blame him from using the search function of the forums, thats what most people always complain about when post of similar content pops up, and now he had actually done it, and still no satisfaction
