Streak Bug

What's sad is that I'm getting used to the bug... I've gotten good at judging the distance to places likely to trigger it and time my streaks accordingly. It's still a PITA during combat, though. Especially during combat in keeps.

This is true for me, too - it's a new gameplay mechanic!

Mind you, I still occasionally clip the stairs and freeze up in resource towers... generally leading to a rather messy death

I noticed something last night, but this in no way should be considered testing. I got hit by the streak bug on a few occasions and it didn't seem like I took any incoming damage while I was frozen in place. I did the dodge animation for a few incoming projectile attacks while stuck in place.

While you're rooted by the bug if you dodge roll the animation won't play, you'll still be rooted, but you will still gain the effects of the roll i.e. you will dodge the stuff a successful roll would have dodged

ZOS, don't fix this bug. It allows me to kill people that are trying to run away. Keep it there so sorcs can't run

PLEASE FIX THIS BUG

How long do we need to wait for a class breaking bug?

I have a work around:

• Take off all your gear

Now even when it bugs out you'll still be able to streak wherever you go!

I, for one, welcome this new crippling bug. It is one those moments when ZOS's appalling lack of QA reached critical level and an additional bug actually caused the game to improve by taking away, from spellslinging cowards, the option to bail out of combat anytime they feel the tide turns against them and, therefore, the option to cherry pick only fights they think they will win.
Compared to ineffectual intended nonsolutions such as increased cost, this unintentional glitch has some impact.

Same. This ability should not be allowed to be used in succession. Sorcs have more than enough defenses relative to their massive offensive potential.

If this gets fixed, then shields should take additional damage from critical attacks.

Maybe I'm just bad, but your shields make that AP anything but free to a Khajiit.

You know what, educate me then.

Apart from putting points into Shattering Blows or whatever the star is, how is a khajiit stamblade supposed to get through those shields?

Hey Gina why dont you just give the same bug to all other gap closers and call it balance? :P

I just switched back to Ball of Lighting it doesn't do that, and since I have Streak back bar anyway I don't notice a diff. It is nice to see all those Force Shock's, Frags, Fire Reach, and Meteor etc hit the ball instead of hitting me in the back

I can confirm this as well. Haven't had a single problem since switching to Ball of Lightning. Would recommend.

Yes BoL is nice again since all the rerolls are back on their sorcs.

But I really want another second added to BoL

Just logged back onto my sorc in almost a year the other day. Is this bug where I click bolt, appear to move, but in reality I am not?? LOL.

If so......yes please fix.

All other gap closers except ambush have been bugged even longer.
Just love Shield or Crit charging in place.
Won't even go into how long Toppling Charge has been bugged.
Seems ZOS is batting a 1000 on these.

clocksstoppe

I know the best fix, just delete bolt escape and its morphs.

You have to time your burst attacks. When you see a sorcerer stack the shields, don't go full offensive. Wait a few seconds then gap close, then hit with fear (they can't avoid CC). Those shields only last for 6 seconds and the duration should be expired while they are CCed. Now, you use incap or Dawnbreaker and go full out offensive on the sorc.

It's not easy and requires skill and practice, but MMO games are supposed to be like that.

Alternatively, do something different from every other run of the mill stamblade and use sword and shield so you can have defensive posture. Sorcs rely on their frags to set up their kills and with S & B, you now use their own attacks against them.

But most people don't want to do something like that because they are convinced they should just stack MOAR DAMAGE and rightfully kill their opponents with their generic burst combo.

Re-morphed streak for ball of lightning, but feels bad... BoL is a typical coward/runaway skill.

Don't forget brothers/sisters sorcs - when/if Streak will get fixed, we will not be able anymore to blame it as a reason why we have fallen in group PvP. #blamestreak

Though, I have to admit, that it never bugged for me when I was going after someone, but very often bugs, when I am trying to create distance in towers/keeps/walls.

If crushing shock was making you char freeze up in PvE! It would have been hot fixed within the day.
