It should be balance, right? Bolt escape has a travel distance of 15 meters.
DK's chain reaches 22 meters and cost the same as bolt escape, a sorc need two BE to get out of range fast, and two BE in a roll now cost (base)1000 magicka and 700 with ALL the cost reductions.
NB's teleport strike also reaches 22 meters, cost about the same as bolt escape, a sorc need two BE to get out the range, and two BE in a roll now cost (base) 1000 magicka and 700 with ALL the cost reductions.
Edit, as suggested:
Templar's Focused Charge and it's morphs also reaches 22 meters, cost even less than bolt escape, a sorc need two BE to get out the range, and two BE in a roll now cost (base) 1000 magicka and 700 with ALL the cost reductions.
Silver Leash (morph of Silver Bolt of Fighters Guild) reaches 28 meters!, doesn't even cost magicka, a sorc definitely need two BE to get out the range, and two BE in a roll now cost (base) 1000 magicka and 700 with ALL the cost reductions.
Either these need out right higher cost (to 1000 base magicka or stamina, just as two BE in a roll would cost a sorc), or their ranges need to be shortened to 10 meters.

At what point did you not understand this? We need a target, Bolt Escape does not.
so?
can u elaborate further onto why gap closers that needs a target gets to be more powerful than gap maker without a target?
cant? thats what i thought?
Can you elaborate why BE needs to allow both the ability to be a gap closer and the ability to escape, but also escape the distance of a gap closer?
Instead of assuming you do not have an answer as you had done above.. I will start it for you even.
Yes, I think this would add value to the ability because ______.

"Can you elaborate why BE needs to allow both the ability to be a gap closer and the ability to escape, but also escape the distance of a gap closer?"
yes it is true u can use BE for gap closing however
ur arguement is invalid because no sorc ever benefited from gap closing when facing melee unless he wants to suicide

I just clearly gave you a good example and you ignored it, so I'll post it again for you:
Please read what I just typed above. Understand why there are differences to your ability and my ability. The change to BE was a justified change. My ability wasn't changed because it's NOT an escape ability. It puts pressure on you.
You were only able to escape 100%. Now you need to justify your timing to escape just like I need to justify my porting to you.
Most of those in here are trying to hand you Logic and you wish not to grasp it.
how much does it cost to cast ur port? how much does it cost to cast BE?
what is the range on ur port? what is the range on BE?
as u can see BE is much more inferior

Logic:
My teleporting to a Source gives me the gain on them at the cost of Magicka. I wear Leather, DKs wear Heavy (yes we can mix and match our gear, well aware of this) You wear Cloth which in turn gives you Magicka Regen. Leather gives me Crit increase. Heavy gives Damage reduction.
Logic:
Leather/Heavy spamming abilities to close a gap on you (who has magicka regen) is going to cost us a lot of Magicka.
Logic:
You could spam an ability with Light armor giving you regen above ours and never being caught in the process.
Logic:
Now you need to use your skills better to your ability than running off shouting "Victory is MINE!"
Logic:
Now you have to actually play the game like the rest of us.
Well here's how i see it. I only ever used BE when i got hit with a gap closer, because it was my only way out of a pack of melee about to destroy me.
NOW when my fragile sorcerer gets leashed, or whichever skill since all other classes have a closer available to them, I can use it once, and just get re-leashed, over and over because the gap can never be opened with a single cast of it. Therefore, I get leashed once? It's over, there is no "escape".
Keep in mind no sorcerer worth his *** is sitting there at full magicka just waiting to spam the whole 2 times he will be able to open the gap.
I'm not mad over the changes, I could actually care less, but watching the forums and all the crybabies get there way only makes me want to reciprocate the tears and start marching for nerfs....
It's an evil downward spiral ZOS is putting themselves in.

Done with child-thought processes in here with angry Sorcs.
I leave with this:
I am very, very thankful and happy for the 50% cost after 4sec putting a stop to the spamming ability. It's about time they did something about it and I am tickled pink.
L2P your Sorcs. Just because you're Ranged doesn't mean your playing World of Warcraft. Bye bye

A good sorc would never go less than 7m away from a melee attacker, which means with 1 bolt escape they can be out of range right away. And an sorc/destruction staff user has some abilities that go up to 28m...so they are out of range from any pulls as well.
You're assuming in your post that the sorc and the melee guy are standing on top of each other. Well its the sorcs fault. As a ranged class, they shouldn't be that close to someone who does melee.
What about melee sorcs? Well why would a melee sorc want to use bolt escape? lol
tl:dr l2p, keep your distance from melee. your advantage against them is range. keep out of their range and youll be fine.

Sorc using escpae in fight. In fight we are doing things what costs magick. So our mana pool is not full, maybe at half in good case.
So, even after TWO use of BE I'll out of mana and still in range of Silver Leash! Do you think it's ok?
No need to link me en.wiki because I'll not read extr English things over this forum
Why are all you sorc running from fights? lol You wanna be fair then give the rest of the classes an escape skill... then nerf itNerfing the gap closer just because you can't stay and fight is just ridiculous. Run for 4secs and recast it, or just wayshrine recall and leave the battle if all you wanna do is run from it.

Your mind RAM was ended before Silver Leash, right?
TL:DR As a melee class try to shorten distance, your advantage against them is close range, l2p issue, you know, right?
Sorry, not buying the sorc pity story. It is quite well known that all the melee builds that use gap closers are subpar compared to a typical ranged mage build. If you were relying on exploiting mechanics of the game to survive, then learn to play. Same thing with the bash exploit, vamp exploit, etc, etc. "Its not an exploit" you say, obviously it was not intended to be spammed relentlessly, therefore the nerf. The rage and QQ is going to be crazy when melee/stamina builds become viable. But really OP, learn to play.

If its 1v1, we all know not to be in melee's range, but people sneak on others all the time, its not something we are willingly do.
if its 10v10, its practically impossible to be clear of your surroundings all the time.
