Especially because almost any stam player uses some kind of major expedition and can easily catch sorcs now, and let's not even add snares, roots, or gap closer spams to the picture.

Yes and while they're at it make it so you don't do that little pause after you streak.

You could just reduce the range of gap closers. Using streak, sprint and range abilitys would all benifit from a range change on gap closers.

You cant even bait players to follow you since its so easy for multiple players to gap close you in a 20ish meter radius.

If gap closers were smaller, positioning would be a lot easier to manage when picking fights in large AvA fights. You wont just have 5+ people gap closing you from all directions.

i wish to streak into the sunset at a reasonable cost of magicka.

lol no, you can still see sorcs streaking away repeatedly like if there was no punishment whatsoever.

Cloak barely works and is still being broken by gap closers, Uppercuts, and other shananigans. There was no sprinting cost increase but you dont regen stamina while you sprint anymore and its been like that for a while, and there is also a roll dodge penalty if you do it repeatedly.

This is a L2P issue of OP.

OP compared it to cloak therefore I answered with an explanation to cloak in terms of cost increase, read again please.

And to answer your question, yes I have played a magicka sorc to a point where I adapted to my magicka pool and I went stamina (Im imperial). I still see several sorcs that don't have an issue with streaking, and if you are streaking 5 (FIVE) times you should be out of trouble and if you are not, then you are not playing it right.

I can spam crit rush till the cows come home, tell me again how 5 streaks = disengaged? Hell, on a stam build I can literally sprint after a sorc and keep up however far they want to go - and that was before the streak nerf.

I'd like to introduce you to my friend Line Of Sight, maybe he can become a good friend of yours too.

So what you are saying is, you don't know how to LoS and you are trying to tell me to learn to read? Am I right? lol.

*grabs more popcorn*

I think they need to fix snares. They're out of control.

Have you ever played sorc? If so then you would realize that after 5 streaks you are out of magicka and can't fight unless you have a pot ready. And you can't compare anything to cloak because that is a broken skill that is bugged and not working as intended.

Were you around to experience Streak before they added penalties to make it it's current format? I ask because this is what you seem to want it reverted back to. They actually had very good reasons to balance it. It was ridiculous.

I agree, it was. But is it wrong to want something somewhere in between 'ridiculous' and 'useless mana drain'?

Lower the increasing costs. 'Back then' gap closers weren't as effective as they are now.

Back then gap closers worked until they "fixed" them. It can be argued now at best they are hit and miss. Most Sorcs still have Streak on their skill bars and still use it to gap close and/or escape successfully. So does it really need reviewing (honestly).

Any Sorc can Streak 3 times easily which is more than enough to escape far enough away to run off the penalty timer and streak again etc etc.

I don't think streak, being an offensive skill, needs a cost reduction which was why I suggested a small damage buff. I like the idea of the cost penalty being reset if you damage with it though, but this might need other conditions to stop it being op. I do think that BoL, the defensive morph, could use a cost reduction. Simply reducing it's base cost and leaving the cost increase might be enough.

Nope. Try it.

You streak once. Two or three Stam types crit Rush and dog pile you because of the delay built in. Streak again. Guess what happens?

Third streak? Dead. You're being tea bagged.

Crit Rush is a gap closer, what else should it do if not close gaps.
