Last I checked, water can be a solid. Its called "ice". If you are going to be a smart ass about something, try to including the smart next time. I mean, honestly...

Except I said water, not ice. So if you want to play the "I'm smarter than you game", I'm not obliging, sorry.

Ice is solidified water, so by all rights, yes, it is water. That said, I have apologized for my attitude in an edit of my last post. I am simply frustrated because this debate is not going anywhere, and Zenimax is not exactly helping with their lack of PvP changes.

I hate nerfing, let's just make everything more awesome to compensate.

But there is no debate to be had, and Zenimax doesn't need to communicate anything at all. Have you noticed that all these posts spring up from people are who crying that "their kill" has ran away, as if they are entitled to it just because they set eyes on it? Bolt Escape is no more versatile than Dragonknights who can solo against two players, or Nightblades who can almost completely destroy a single target in a mere few seconds; the difference is Sorc's Bolt Escape only provides additional maneuverability and only adds a very small amount of damage if morphed that way, but people are *deliberately* speccing for the morph that absorbs projectiles to allow them to escape (and provides NO damage). I'm just completely dumbfounded that people complain about others running away instead of swallowing their pride and just moving on to another target - or even better, go stealth and ambush the Sorc if he comes back again, or alter their builds slightly if they are in a ganking squad to spec for additional crowd control and speed buffing abilities. I completely agree the scroll should be dropped if you Bolt Escape, but that's all I'm seeing that's an issue right now; people have yet to devise proper counter builds and strats.

Bolt Escape doesn't need a magicka consumption nerf, it just needs an induction, say 2-3 seconds. That would break up the escape spam and give ppl skilled enough a chance to interrupt/cc.

The way bolt escape works is just stupid. There really is no way people can defend against this fact. Either increase the cost with each use or something, its ridiculous that after using it infinitely sorcerers are still able to fight normally like nothing happened, while those that attempt to chase them end up out of stamina, magicka or both.

Bolt escape is simply too stronk!

Any reason for the necro, beyond "was feeling bored"?

I like this necro.

Now that gap closers hard counter bolt escape (because of the mini-root/stun), we can remove all the cooldowns on the skill right? Right?


There were about 4 ninja nerfs to the underlying mechanics of bolt escape that made a much greater effect on its use than the cost increases.
