Streak - loss of momentum after streaking

Is this intended? Please can you confirm. This was an undocumented change in the most recent patch, and it's really, really annoying. The cost increase already hugely inhibits its use. The fact you don't maintain momentum after using it just makes it almost pointless to use in 50% of situations...

    Honestly please don't complain streak is amazing and even on a stam sorc it makes a good bit of space. Don't complain when it is still the greatest way to escape in the game.

    Cloak is a better escape now if twinned with other abilities. That's beside the point however, I still want to I know if this is intended

    cloak is by far a better escape.

    No... Just no.

    There a far more counters to cloak, BE is far superior for escape in the vast majority of situations, period.

    How so? i can use the bow to roll dodge then sprint to catch up to BE and with it's new nerfs a sorc can't do that many, maybe 6-7 at full magicka which they usually escape after fighting a while.

    Also any gap closer > BE.

    Cloak is so strong in IC, you can cloak through mobs without aggro.

    Well you could purge ^^, also isn't it weird the counter to a nb's is a nb's skill?

    I just don't get the change. It wasn't in the notes and now I can't streak around things. It's not meant to be a "this is unfair" kind of thing to me. It's a "I don't understand how this was a problem" kind of thing. Like not being able to jump while crouched or slowed.

    Cloak is by far better, when under CC, surrounded by NPCs and 3 players, you can still cloak and escape. Can't do that with bolt. Plus you can also stop a player from bolting with other abilities

    I use it both offensively and defensively. When I say 'escape' I guess I mean 'defensive tool'. Either way it makes no difference as both skills are affected. When you streak, at the end of that streak you lose the forward momentum that you used to have. It's not a change that was recorded in the patch notes and therefore there is every chance it is unintended. Therefore I just want to know if it is meant to be like this or not!

    Use detect pots. There's a nice potion that heals you, gives unstoppable and 20m detect radius for 15sec.

    So cloak can be countered while BE cannot (yes you still can be hit with gap skills, but if you do everything right you'll get out of it's range)

    It's nothing to do with doing everything right and everything to do with luck. If I am rooted I can't even choose a direction to streak. It's so easy to keep up with a streaking sorc.

    If you cannot roll from roots and put AoE CC while streaking then ok, you really can do nothing right

    I would not be surprised if this problem is connected to the snare issue, just like jumping in sneak was bugged and falling while snared seems to be bugged.

    Rolling with a sorcs is kinda dangerous because you might be low on stamina if you need to break-free.

    If you're not able to use streak to escape, please uninstall the game. The lower damage and much slower paced combat gives sorcs (and everyone) multiple 2nd chances at escaping, only dif is that sorcs have the best escape in the game.

    King Richard said it, he said that he would put Stam sorc over Stam nb in pvp because cloak is easily countered while he said that sorcery's mobility has no counter
