Take it from a night blade like myself bolt escape is op, I do 1800 average burst damage in one second all mages do to avoid almost instant death is bolt escape with the stun morph.. Try catching them after that I've seen them spam it at least 10 times...
And if you doubt my dps feel free to PM for a 1v1 I'm AD I would gladly add you to my montage video.

"Night Blade Is Angry that He Can't 1-Shot Every Player in the Game"
A local Night Blade has found a drastic problem with game balance in the Elder Scrolls Online. Specifically, the issue is with the ability Bolt Escape.
"Its just not fair I tell you. I can hit players for 80-100% of their health in a single second. Most of the time things just melt in front of me and it doesn't take much effort, but lately I've had an issue where Sorcerer's are able to get away from me."
The Night Blade went on to explain that allowing other players to counter his absurdly high burst was ruining the experience of the game for him.
"I mean, if this Bolt Escape crap continues I've only got two options: accept the fact that I can't kill everything I see in a matter of seconds or adapt my build to be able to chase them. But if I change my build to be better at chasing, I won't be able to 1-shot things as often. Its not fair I tell you. Next thing you know they'll give Sorcerer's tools to actually kill ME!"
Thankfully, there's no sign of that in the near future. Zenimax Online Studios, creator and developer of the Elder Scrolls Online, responded to our request for an interview with the following prepared statement:
"We understand how frustrating it can be for players to not be able to kill everything they see in 1-shot but we feel its only fair to give all classes a chance to live in PvP, even if they aren't able to kill things. We will not be buffing the Sorcerer's damage or survivability in combat anytime soon, but we think its funny to give them the ability to at least run away. That way we can laugh at them while they run in terror from the kings of our game, the Dragon Knights.
That said, we will be buffing the Night Blade soon, to reduce the Sorcerer's escape rate against this class as well."

Seems balanced to me.
If by balanced I mean complete ridiculousness.
So that guy was the 1 out of 100 that you can't beat and caused all your nerd rage against sorcs huh?

Manly quality #1 - I'm also a NB, DK, and Templar
Manly quality #2 - It's not stalking rather it's ensuring that others (who like you don't have critical thinking skills or want an instant I win button) don't take your flawed OP as gospel and continue to spread misinformation about classes to where it becomes a distorted truth.
Manly quality #3 - I don't need to keep referring to being a man (or not being feminine) constantly to keep up appearances when someone is questioning me or my OP.

Step 1 - make countless nerf BE threads
Step 2 - comment in every BE thread possible trying to convince the devs it is OP
Step 3 - when you realize that a lot of people disagree with you, start claiming the nerf is inevitable as a last ditch effort to convince people it is OP

And I'm willing to bet that everyone on here that is QQ'n bolt escape isn't a sorc....I don't even have it slotted due to the dps loss....so I'm not being a homer here.....I'm being a realist. There are far better skills at a sorcs disposal which do much more damage/CC/stun/mez. The reality of the matter is people who are complaining are doing so because they "feel" that they were "entitled" to a kill and that people are robbing them of the AP or out of blind stupidity when it comes to what a class is built for/around.
To the mist form complaint....I'm a vamp sorc on my main and to tell you the truth I didn't see the OP'ness of that personally (and I never used it either) but many did so Zenimax felt it was not intended to be a signature ability like BE is and nerfed. Hence they went and made it more comparable to boundless storm.
Side note : If you see any sorc "exploiting" BE and instantly winning 100% of their fights then I will gladly say it needs a nerf since that means they are killing players by running away in the opposite direction and that is just way over the top OP. I'm a horrible PvP'er but I still manage to kill sorcs who BE on my nonsorc toons. Quit exaggerating it only makes people smell desperation or straight ignorance/arrogance.
I fought a sorc yesterday for over 7 minutes. 8 stamina potions later, as I had to chase him down every time I "beat" him, which was roughly 6 times, then finally the 7th fight he got lucky and beat me.
So, my 6 "victories" = 0 AP earned, his 1 victory and 6 "losses" = 400~ AP earned.

So you have overwhelming power in 6 out of 7 encounters, I wonder exactly which class should be nerfed in your situation.

Overwhelming power? How about he's a more skillful player. Fact is 6 out of 7 fights the mage escaped flawlessly from getting owned, and on the 7th hudini trick the mage killed him

Right, except skilled player can get down a sorc. And he can't.
And why ignore the very fact that his class is op?

If you never used mist form or BE why are you commenting on it? And I strongly believe if you killed a sorc with BE they need to uninatall the game esp from a sub par pvper like you claim to be. Its an expolit, no class should be given a get out of jail free card 100 percent of the time
You claimed you win 99% of fights and yet still were crying nerf and you expect everyone to forget?
Nope, not at all. And I'm not saying it's untrue now. That was the only time I lost to a sorc in a 1v1 yesterday. And being that he literally blinked away 6 times after being stomped makes bolt laughable.
Almost as laughable as all these sorcs in here screaming "It's fine! Dear baby Jesus, it's fine! It's not even that powerful! Please don't nerf it! Don't... Please... Please? I don't want to accept my loses.. Please? Mommy?"
