With the unjust nerf to flame reach, sorcs need a reliable stun back in their arsenal. Rune cage is a meme and is in no way a replacement for flame reach.

I'm going to be the first person to point you to the UNBLOCKABLE UNDODGEABLE AOE stun that comes with the changes to streak.

With all of the preloadable burst damage on a sorc (curse, meteor, fury) and a stun that can be applied at will, sorcs should not be complaining about lack of stun potential.

You gotta be joking. Seriously? Streak? Seriously? Lmfao I'm dying over here. You have any clue how impossible it would be to use streak as a main stun. Any at all? Dude maybe all the classes before you go around just saying stuff that makes no sense

No I'm not joking. I've mained a magsorc for nearly 5 years, and Streak was my primary at will stun for most of my PvP time. Frag stun was nice, but it was far from mandatory. Streak is a good mobility skill as well, so I aways had it on my build anyway. And this patch also includes a reduction in the repeated streak cost, which makes Streak even more viable now.

Most 1v1 or 1vX fights turn into a melee brawl very quickly once LoS comes into play, and for years I would use streak to land an unblocked meteor+curse+fury+etc combo and it would generally crush the crap out of people. And this was during the time when streak was blockable. I would pull stamblades out of dodge roll or cloak constantly and it would often pressure them enough to either kill them outright or put them into resource draining mode to recover, which gives me the advantage.

And now you are telling me I can knock people out of block with streak as well? One skill that stuns through block, dodge, cloak, deals a little extra damage, goes off with little to no warning, and repositions my character? Yeah, that's really strong. If you can't see that, then that's not my problem.

That's all well and good except for one tiny detail about streaking to stun...

You are now facing the WRONG WAY. That little bit of time it takes to turn around is all they need to break and roll before the frag hits them.
