Power Overload—sweet, but too short?

Whenever I use this ability, it seems to—forgive the pun—be over in a flash. Unmorphed, the duration was drastically longer. Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

It's based on how much ultimate you build up. The more you fight without using overload, the more energy you'll have when you do use it.

Yea plus the attacks still trigger ult generation so it can actually last for quite a long time. I don't believe either morph uses more or less ult for each attack also.

My overload charges silly fast. I fight more in overload the outside it.
They need to balance this....Sorcerer 2H with this ultimate is silly...I light attack 2-3shots

Overload is one of those things that is really useful if you tend to build up a 1000 points or more on your Ultimate before you get around to using it. If your play style is such that you build up the 200 or so ultimate then use that, Overload is not that good an Ultimate to use.

Ahh, see, I didn't realize that (about the build-up)! Very helpful, thanks to all of you for explaining.

Actually, one more question... is there a way to display how much ultimate I've accumulated? Couldn't seem to find an add-on that does that...

FTC will show you how much ult you have.

Don't forget that Ult has it's own skill bar when activated, so make sure to replace your weapon abilities with class spells so you don't pull yourself out of ult

Again, great pointers! Thanks!
