Here is my take on Overload. If ZOS doesn't want to give us an instant damage ability, what about an ultimate? Something along these lines could give Sorcs a decent buff, or at least make Overload a more common ultimate. Also, I do not agree with the insane damage buff it has received in 1.6, simply buffing the damage was NOT a good "fix."
Overload
Range: 28m
Cost/Toggle-able: 75 ultimate
Light and Heavy Attacks are replaced with empowered versions that drain Ultimate. Empowered Light Attacks hit for x Shock Damage and empowered Heavy Attacks hit for x Shock Damage. Damage increased by x%. Toggle to activate. Ability is automatically un-toggled when the user weapon-swaps.
Morphs
Energy Overload
Range: 28m
Cost/Toggle-able: 75 ultimate
New Effect: Grants the user minor prophecy for 3 seconds after successfully landing an overload attack, also light and heavy attacks restore magicka.
Power Overload
Range: 28m
Cost: 100 ultimate
New Effect: (Ability now deals considerably more damage but drains all ultimate on use.) Overload a storm cloud dealing x amount of damage to a single target and applying minor defile for 10 seconds.
Description/Functionality: Power overload is NOT reflect-able, that’s right, it’s an ultimate version of mages fury. This gives us an instant damage dealing ultimate along with a useful debuff.
