Nerf Streak range

✭I think streak is good where it is. What is the range currently? 15m? Wouldn’t want it to become 10m or less that’d be semi-crippling wouldn’t it? At least if we look at it from an offensive stun and finishing combo perspective.
As far as blocking and counter play... if you ARE holding block not cuz you’re a tank but cuz you’re a good player then consider that IF a sorc is about to streak you with endless fury and he prolly has a frag ready or a curse bout to go boom... then you’re already dead anyway.
The correct counterplay, frankly, is to know whether or not you have immunity, know whether or not you have a immmovability potion, know whether or not you have an ultimate ready— and if the answer to all three is no then you HEAL and don’t let yourself get executed.0 -

In case you just read the title and not the opening post, in this particular case Streak had a range comparable to a five minute sprint with a fully trained mount (Rayles farm to Northern Highrock Gate).
The 15m range is fine IMO.

Yea, I highly doube the first post story. You can only streak so many before your streak cost 20k, you need to have magicka recovery through the roof and very high max magicka to achieve something that can come even closer to what OP said. I had many many instance where I out run magsorc streakers and never the other way around.1 -

It was just one Streak. The farm was taken by AD or EP (don't remember), I'm DC. I was streaking towards the flag and hit a loading screen mid-streak. There were enemy players around, so I expected to come out of the loading screen butchered on the flag, instead I was well and alive but at the Highrock Gate Transitus (one of the points where you may spawn when logging into the game).
One Streak, maybe five kilometers travelled. How could I resist to make a joke thread with a bait title on the forums?no CP PvP PC/EU

✭✭✭✭This community is so thin skinned about sorcs, both pro and contra, that you could put a disclaimer in the title „this is sarcasm“ and people would still take it seriously.
And I don’t know what’s the main source of this. L2P issues, past time overperformance/ trouble to catch up, malicious intentions or fear of nerfs (eg collateral ones for stams).
Anyway, it’s not much fun anymore talking about certain things here. Be it sorcs, 2h or whatever.1 -
JinxxND✭✭✭✭How the hell is the skill being blockable the wrong approach, the skill was blockable since the beginning of the game and sorcs still used it then, it gets a fatigue reduction can now stun an unlimited amount of people does damage, all we are asking is to make it blockable so it can have some kinda counter play, the people trying to justify the current streak are the same ones in old threads justifying the old rune cage which was the most broken skill in the game without a doubt.PC NA -

Streak was unblockable at the beginning, AFAIK. Not that it matters for today, combat changed a lot over the years.the people trying to justify the current streak are the same ones in old threads justifying the old rune cage which was the most broken skill in the game without a doubt.
That's not remotely true. A lot of, let's call them sorc mains, agreed that the Summerset Rune Cage was brokenly OP. They even called for nerfs before it went live, because the backlash that then happened to the skill and the class was aniticipated. After multiple nerfs, the skill is left as just another annoyance spammed from the backline of the random faction zergs.
Personally, I don't really need Streak to be unblockable, but I prefer it that way, and if it's just to make life a bit harder for blockcasting healbots.

✭The OP was joking about lag he’s said so. I was just trying to throw my two cents into a runaway train car.
Sorcs have a toolkit that can make amazing use of streak in lots of ways. It’s one of the strongest ccs in the game. Maybe it should be nerfed a bit some people have made good points but there are other things that are unblockable. Sorcs can now and have always been able to do amazing, timed, ranged, burst damage. Whether it is comet, rune cage, runecage comet, endless fury streak whateeever. The counterplay has always been the same. Don’t let yourself get to half health and avoid some other parts of the combo since you really can’t avoid that one. Kinda like fighting a stam necro.
Or, as I would say when I’m running crown... stop chasing. We have people that can handle him. You don’t have to.0 -

✭✭✭✭ALL forms of damage and CC need to be countered by me rubber-banding down my right mouse button.
It takes a lot of skill to put this rubber band on. I hurt my finger holding it down for an hour straight yesterday.
