the 50% stacking cost is too much. Dodge roll gets medium armor passives, CP cost reduction, Armor trait cost reduction, etc.
The magic cost reduction was removed from CP, and there is no armor trait cost reduction like dodge roll has. Streak should be at 33% not 50% because that puts it in line properly with dodge roll where it should be. 50% was far too punishing to use the skill, especially when using it in an offensive fashion.
You have 10% cost reduction from 5 pieces of light armor, 7% from being breton in your signature, 5% from sorc's passives... and you have them in no-CP too, while dodge-roll doesn't have any dodge roll cost reduction other then medium armor passive.

I am an Imperial StamSorc nowadays, I haven't played Mag Sorc in nearly 3 years. My bad for not updating my signature.
Well Fitted, Meduim passives, and CP passives far out weigh what you listed...Well fitted is a very heavily used trait and for good reason.
By lowering the cost of streak malus, they're just encouraging people to flee even more instead of fightning, while other classes can't do nothing beside hiding behind rocks or in towers.
Does anyone remembers when devs stated that they wanted streak to be a fighting tool rather than an escape tool, and that's why they did put in the malus ? Too bad we're going far away from this right now thanks to their decisions.
Not really since they also removed the good ranged magica stun and effectively made sorc into a melee dd with streak.
It is more of a fighting tool on pts.
The issue is eso is a spam game and fighting with an ability that has increased cost on spamming doesn’t work.
I still would have preferred a version where the cost doesn’t increase when you hit a target.
