When are they nerfing bolt escape?

Valn

I swear to god some guy got away from me, spamming bolt escape about 5 times despite me using invasion 3 times on him before i ran out of stamina.

Apparently it was meant to cost 50% more within 3 seconds? How did he spam it 5 times?

Just curious...

I really don't know what that has to do with the thread. It was a simply question, i was wondering how someone can still spam it 6-5 times despite there being a nerf to it. Reported for being off topic/spamming.

Yes, bolt escape needs further nerf. We have a group of ppl chasing a sor but he still able to escape. Usually if a sor starts to use bolt escape, swith to other target.

No way - I MUST spam it mindlessly to win. Do not nerf it.

I am a good sport about not asking for nerfs to other classes, but even I must point out the irony of a sword and board, gdb spamming dk asking for other classes to be nerfed.

You're out of stamina charging him and he's out of magicka, the two of you are even. Get over it.

PS It's 4 seconds not 3 seconds (and comes with a magicka regeneration nerf).

I assume most VR sorcerers have over 2k mana, so if you have 2000+ stamina and still can only use invasion 3 times, maybe you should start a new thread about the stamina cost of that skill. Also when you make that thread, could you add a request that all gap closers should also get regen debuff and 50% cost increase if used again withing 4 seconds. Also it would be nice if you'd point out that range of gap closers should be dropped to 15 meters, so our skills would be more equal.

I agree with you 100%, though I wish we would have just let this thread sink into oblivion where it belongs.

Some sorcs have like 2500 magicka. I think they can still get 5 or 6 of them off. I also heard it stops increasing after the first successive cast too, so it doenst like go up to 1000 magicka a cast or anything.

I have enough stamina to use invasion 5 times in a row (from max). Get moar stamina bro!

lol... the point of bolt escape is to escape, if you didn't figure it out in the name by now. My main is a NB... if I see a sorc I know to try stunning them or hindering them. It sounds like a L2P situation.

Read this please^

No further nerf is needed, you just need to learn for yourself how to deal with it. Learn and grow, get some skills and figure it out.

Gap closers need to be greater than gap creators because it's a lot easier to create a gap than it is to close one...this is why ranged has almost always dominated mmo's because closing the gap was much more difficult than making one. If you try to make gap creators large to or even equal to gap closers, then just like most other mmo's melee in this game will suck and range will continue to dominate in even greater force.

Bolt escape is still extremely powerful and it is painfully obvious (if play in cyrodil and even pay any sort of attention to your surroundings) that it is much easier for sorcs to still get out of the fray stay out of or get out of gap closing range.

Everyone has extremely powerful abilities. The ability to get away is no different than the ability to jump up to enemies or leash them.

Or keeping people stunlocked forever or rooting them.
