Know the feeling... sad fact... in ESO only the Sorc has a true escape spell. Every other class must run and running does not break combat.

Even a 'play dead' option would go a long way (if it breaks combat) to make life easier because it would lower armor repair costs a lot and would avoid the long walks (rides) in PvP getting back into action.

I guess that is one of the reasons only one class out of 4 has an escape spell. The Dev's might have thought Sorcs are too squishy...die too often and get fed up traveling a long way (my guess).

Well...Yes... but so does every other class in PvP and PvE. Die much too often, suffer item decay, pay a lot of gold for repairs... get frustrated and leave the game.

Yes, a very few Die-hards cry the game is way too easy... a very, very few... most of us are just average players and right now get done in pretty quickly because of mistakes made.

I have been crying from day one of the game to give everyone an escape option that breaks combat so as to sit back and think about strategy and what went wrong.

in real life a soldier wounded withdraws and heals up before returning to the fight. In ESO you die and travel a long way sometimes to just repeat the die and travel sequence because it is sooo much fun.

Of course...if you have soul-stones you can rez... Great, just great... armor does not get hit and instead you need to buy expensive soul stones..... The system as it is now STINKS. No wonder gold sellers have such a lovely time making REAL money.

so yes good Samaritan... I know the feeling...

As a nightblade it's easy to run away one shadowy disguise will give you enough distance to not be hit again. The sorcs have bolt escape. I think the other two classes have enough CC to give them enough of a head start to escape also. If you just start running you will not get very far though.You need to do something that will give you a couple of meters distance while running. I think they get a damage bonus if they hit you while running away .

Yeah, running away is absolutely useless.
Even hiding behind a wall or similar the simplest NPC spells have no problem turning that corner and hitting you in the face.
You can either finish that fight in under 10 seconds or you´re dead.

I´m still not quite sure if I like it or not.

Hiding behind a wall actually does help, that spell hitting you has been cast while you was running there, so it tracks you behind it, for the next spell the mob has to track you and get you in line of sight again.
