Kory✭✭✭✭Aoe stun, damage, escape, and gap closer all in one skill. Top 3 CC abilities in the game. It is over tuned, I think it should snare instead of stun (so there can be counterplay with snare removal/prevention abilities).
So you keep the CC and everything else, but you change it so that Streak isn't being abused (with the unblockable stun in which Sorc already has access to...)
If it was to be nerfed, I think something like that would be fine.0 -

BoL is commonly used more defensively than Streak with CC immunity and absorbing projectiles. Streak right now is used either way in my experience.Edited by Kory on 19 June 2021 00:110 -

Snare has been effective from what I've experienced. The Dizzy swing snare is really good, permafrost snare is very effective Ult from the Warden class, and the snare after getting hit by Dragon leap. Quite a few skills have a snare, and not all of them are meaningless.
A snare also invites counterplay to a skill that probably shouldn't have an unblockable AOE stun coupled with the rest of it's uses. Losing the stun would hurt, because streak is so strong, but if it was in the works to be humbled a little, an AOE snare would be fine.
Just a suggestion, nothing wrong with counterplay instead of a forced CC.0 -

I have always said that streak should favor offensive gamplay, therefore it should only work on target rather than nothing. You teleport to your target and stun them and stop at their location, it should leave a trace of lighting or burning ground behind, it should also have the ramping cost removed. If it is used without target, then it deals no damage and no stun effect and have 50% instead of 33% cost increase.Aoe stun, damage, escape, and gap closer all in one skill.

Rune prison was a great stun when it was a hard CC. Zos has missed around with it too many time and mades less appleaing to be used. Its range was reduced from 28 to 22, its cost increased, its stun is delayed and ery telegraphic and indicutive of counter action to you target, it is unblockable but dodgeable which makes it useless, it deals mediocre damage when stun last full duratoon instead when it is ended, and it has no seconday effect like snare or off balance.1 -

✭✭✭BOL is actually way more overpowered, but people only complain about streak because it's used offensively. I don't think there is anything wrong with either and it's such a big part of sorcs identity it should be left alone. Maybe make the stun blockable, but beyond that I'd leave it as it is.1 -

Snares are only good vs. potatoes. Everyone else either has some sort of a snare immunity in their build or is in a group that has someone providing them rapids.
Counterplay exists. I somehow manage to fill up my kill 20 sorcerer quest rather quickly every night, just as I have for the past 6 years, despite the hyperbolic proclamations about the class.
In fact the only time I ever had difficulty fulfilling the quest was during the 1.5 patch when the class - which had streak function pretty much exactly as it does now - was considered so weak only the diehards played it.Edited by Joy_Division on 19 June 2021 13:49Make Rush of Agony "Monsters only."

Indeed, I did some testing with it and it seems to be a small 90 degree cone in front of you (basically 45 degrees to either side of where you're directly facing). This makes just even the slightest deviation in direction like side strafing for instance, which happens a lot in PVP, capable of getting out of the "looking at you" portion of the stun. While using Mesmerize you have to move with your opponent and time it just right, which far increases the work load required to stun a target when you could instead say "I stun you" with Fossilize, Streak, or any other stun.PC NA - Ceyanna Ashton - Breton Vampire MagDK0 -

This topic always brings to my memory a Ray Steven's "The Streak".
Speaking of nightblades' Fear: those who have immoveability up will not be feared.
Streak has a weird reverse conal path. It starts out wide with I think 7m and narrows down the further you travel to 1 or 2m. It used to be a straight path then few patches ago during PTS it was changed to conal, then changed to reverse conal 8n the particular PTS. If I remmember correctly, I think it was either during the buffing of dots or proc sets.
@universal_wrath Thank you! I had attempted some initial tests with dummies set up in a "V" shape to try to gauge the size. Dummies are immune to stun but will display an effect from the damage. (I do not know if the stun area and the damage area matches, but I decided to think that they might.) I was getting some confusing results and the cone shape explains that. I had forgotten that the area was a cone.Fan of playing magblade since 2015. (PC NA)

Dakkx✭✭✭Maybe all players should start playing sorc because thats true that there is no counter for streak. Some of the sorcerers are almost unkillable because of this skill. For example some time ago I was playing against magsorc in BG and he said that he is doing sometimes 100 kills to 0 deaths (ofc not in one BG) and that wasn't the lowest mmr.
Last time when I was playing BG there was one team against us of 4 sorcerers. They just destroyed everyone, that was too much for me...

I play stamsorc almost exclusively and streak is OP as all get out. The amount of deaths people have prevent and caused from using streak is insane.
Watch any single sorc PVP video and you will see that it is used both offensively and defensively like nothing else in this game. But keep defending the broken stuff, because I think far too many RELY on this skill.
I suggest to all of you who think Streak is not op, go try some other CC. Shield Charge, reverberating bash, FG aoe fear, mesmerize etc. But here is the caveat. you all have to post videos of it.

Many people play with bol and get their stuns elsewhere. Point proven i guess.
I will state this again and again. Streak/bol is as bread and butter to sorcs as jabs is to templar. Sorcs are good but not op top tier atm, so in a somehwat good spot balance wise.
If streak/bol gets gutted, depending on how ZoS will handle it, the class will either be in the gutter or get offensive and defensive buffs to compensate, which might make them op.

Funny thing, always when i play on my sorc i feel very comfortable and can play with one eye closed because of streak. This skill is basically a lazy oh [snip] button, very powerful both defensively and offensively. I dont think any class should rely on one and so powerful ability.
This is one thing. Another is, with amount of people playing sorcs these days bgs (i dont play cyro) often turn out to be a stunfest. Which is worst kind of pvp you can get in mmo in my opinion. Streak is abused as hell. There are so many advantages of this ability and nearly no drawbacks (lets be serious, that cost increase is a joke, you have to spam like dozen of streaks in a row to feel it, [snip]).
Im not advocating nerfing skill to the ground. Im asking for some reasonable changes so every class can have good time, not only few ones.
I will state this again and again. Streak/bol is as bread and butter to sorcs as jabs is to templar.

For a sorc that hit you and then streak away what are you gonna do?
At least give me a gap closer that don't need a target because those are completely useless in Cyrolag.
Give cloak stacking cost and then we can nerf streak
OK, then just make cloak unbreakable and I would call it a deal.
Make nblades take all damage that was incoming before cloak is activated and take DOT damage while cloaked, not letting it work like a quasi cleanse, working somewhat like the skill is described.
Well
incoming damage does hit me after I cloak.

Using a gap closer in Cyrolag to pursue a streaking sorc is just impossible.
All gap closer need a target, before the game understand that you are trying to cast the skill the sorc will be too far away so you can't do anything.

To be fair javelin is effective - it is pre-nerf flame staff clench, and backlash is effective in the best case scenario, which is very linear and more of an opponent error that it happened.
But overall powerlevel comparison shows that regular templar skills are at most "decent", except jabs, cleanse and focus, while sorc has full arsenal of great skills. Saying that sorc will be bad after streak made blockable is just insane.1 -

If you cannot kill a streaking sorc, it's honestly a L2P issue. There is an animation lag while using the skill which can be easily taken advantage of.
Most players don't know about this as they are incompetent on their mag sorc.
Besides sorc using streak is basically paper light as they have zero mitigation to ranged damage.
I also cannot imagine being a stamina main and struggling against a sorc. Stam sorc is again bottom of the stam food chain. Mag sorc is even worse than that. Struggling to kill a sorc would mean you struggle with pvp in general.2 -
