    Just letting you all know we are investigating this issue, and will let you know if we need more info. Thanks!

    @ZOS_GinaBruno Any chance we can get a response to Cloak being bugged? There's still bugs that were introduced almost a year ago with the Dark Brotherhood patch that haven't been fixed. See here: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/326554/things-that-break-cloak/p1

    gina pls

    You still think there's hope for cloak to ever work as intended, after all these years? How cute.

    Now how about sticking to the topic, which is bolt escape.

    Just happened to me while collecting craft writs. Doing my usual of streak through some mobs and lay down a minefield, yet I didn't streak through them and my minefield goes down behind them, where I would have been if my streak had actually succeeded.

    PvE zone, 60 fps, 67+ latency.......it's happened at least once before in a similar situation. PvP I honestly haven't noticed, with the higher latency that comes with cyrodiil it regularly takes 1 second or more for the skill to actually decide it wants to work anyway.

    Little update:

    I've been running Ball of Light the last 2 days instead of Streak, and haven't had the bug happen even after excessive testing all over milegates, ect. I know some others have been saying the same thing, but I don't think it's common knowledge yet.

    I know we've been asking to make BoL viable again, but not like this!

    Problem is that BoL doesn't do any damage, something dual wield specs usually count on. Plus it leaves a cool glowing bread-crumb trail for that 30 man Zerg full of try-hards to follow you.

    I'll stick with the bug thanks.


    Been running Ball of Light on my DW sorc today. I haven't really felt a change in my pressure out-put, other then being able to reliably kite inside of towers and stuff. Then again, I also usually run it on my backbar. If you run it on your DW bar then yeah, it is noticeable.

    I reluctantly made the switch, and probably won't go back even if they fix it.

    The ball light has absorbed more potato fire staff heavy attacks, force pulses, and frag spam than I can count. It's saved me from hordes of try hards chasing me for way longer than reasonable.

    It's a must for anyone spending as much time as we do running from 12-18 man groups :neutral:

    Just an update. It's well known that a door or gate causes Streak to bug out. Just want to add it doesn't have to be literally something like that with a roof. Any space between 2 objects will do - a log pile and wall, for instance.

    Hopefully we'll see something in an upcoming patch notes about a fix!
    Make Rush of Agony "Monsters only." People should not be consecutively crowd controlled in a PvP setting. Period.

    Glad too see you have come around. Ball is extremely powerful now in this new mag meta, it will save your life often.

Our eyes once were blinded, now through him do we see. Our hands once were idle, now through them does he speak. And when the world shall listen, and when the world shall see, and when the world remembers, that world will cease to be. - Miraak
