in SWTOR id would be called "heal to full and make them pay..."(for those who know that awsome developer statement)
Just about everyone he/she fought was lower level. That was a VR sorc against non VR players. The sorc stayed mobile, let the lower levels separate and then picked them off. A decent VR player can destroy lower level players bolster or not.

even though i don´t disagree the problem is the fact that sorcs have the tools to use "blink" excessivly to escape any unfavoured situation and return imidiatly by pots/dark exchange without any downside.
a simple fix would be adding a stamina consumption after it has been used (could be easily explained by roleplay aspects) lets say 25% the blink can be used at every stamina value but if you would drop below 0% stamina after its usage you will be disoriented for 10sec.
that way dark exchange wont heal you back to full health and mana values after excessive blink usement. cc would no longer be a non issue as it is now.
but anyway balance issues will not be fixed any time soon with all the problems the game currently has beside pvp balance
it cost 300+ as is, make it x2, nobody will be able to cast a single one in a fight.Needs magicka cost x2 or x3.

Gap closers require a target, and bolt does not. A Sorcerer can use bolt straight away, whereas we have to actually target you to use it. In the time it takes for us to find out where you have bolted to, you can use it again to place yourself out of range of our gap closers.
drop an AE and these effects are neglected if its an ae cc type they are ccéd on top aswell. do the same vs a bolt escaping sorc and nothing happensSexyVette07 wrote: »How is "blinking" (which isnt even the name of the spell) to escape an unfavorable situation any different than an NB vanishing or anyone using an invisibility potion to drop combat?
great usumpotion but completly wrong, sorc and templar are my classes ...TAnd the fact that your post shows such bias tells me that you play a NB that likes to gank or a DK who uses their chains to yank people into a gank fest.

Also its the funniest skill to play as a sorc. if they take that away or nerf it, in my opinion theyll be just killing that class.
