Disabling Streak in BGs but not Stampede or Toppling Charge

MaxwellMurphy

Not sure where to put this but I have thought it many times and as an avid BG'er on my sorc for years now I need to put this up somewhere in hopes a developer will see it.

For Capture the Relic or Chaosball the gap closers in general are not disabled when you either have a relic or the ball - this allows a lot of movement potential (of course depending on placement of other players)... Playing my Templar - toppling charge is great, its the stun I use and it gets you movement... Playing as a sorc you get your primary stun *disabled and your movement is highly restricted...and we are already a slow movement class... Something needs to be addressed - either gap closers need to be disabled for all classes when you are carrying the Relic or Chaosball or there needs to be an adjustment to not simply *disable streak for us poor Sorcs.

Hmm, I have to disagree. Streak is primarily not a gap closer but a "gap maker", for lack of better wording. Most players use it to get away from situation or to stun. Imagine a shielding sorc streaking around the battlefield with the chaos ball: The game mode would be even more annoying than it is right now (give ball to a tank, win).

Streak disabled in BG or i misunderstood?

As someone who has 3 Sorcs (2 Stam 1 Mag) I'm not sure why you say we are slow. Hurricane is 15% extra speed boost for 15 seconds and great damage and Boundless is 30% speed boost for 4 sec and both also provide the Major Resolve for 6k extra resists. One of the few useful class skills available to both stam and mag sorcs. The reason they disabled streak is just as @DJfriede said above the other two require a target and are closers only and streak is a potential gap maker with no target needed.

Can still recast boundless storm every 4 secs no probs

It's only disabled when you are carrying a Relic or the Caos Ball and i think it is just right so.
Comparing Streak to a gap closer that requires a target just don't make sense in my opinion.

And calling sorcs "poor" is just too funny, they are the class to go for BGs.

Allow me to interrupt you here. Sorcs are the only class in the game with easy access to minor expedition. Bowsorcs with wild hunt + 3x swift + major exp from quick cloak are kiting, streaking and bombarding and are literally impossible to catch.
