I really think overload needs a nerf. Big time.

To be fair i do think the cost needs increasing, 15 ult for a 13k hit in pvp. Some ult that cost 100 don't do that much dmg or give access to a 3rd ability bar and good mana return.

Double or triple the cost per cast. If people are going to spam 13k LA then make so they can't spam 14 13000+ dmg LA for the cost of a meteor.

Except that's even worse for PvE than a smaller ultimate pool.

Well at the moment sorc can burst down an entire boss with just their ult, they shouldn't be able to do that.

Normal dps rotation + ult (if cost increases) will still make them do slightly more than most other classes.

Then why on earth would you increase ultimate cost instead of decreasing the pool?

Because Ult generate quite quickly, if they want to spam 5x 13K attack then they'll have to save for it, not just save 100 ult.

Other classes have ult's costing 250+ that do way less dmg and are less useful.

If I wanted to deal damage in PvP, there's a lot of reasons not to pick Overload. That's a method to kill noobs quickly who don't know how to deal with it, not a reliable ultimate by any means. And when it comes to PvE, it would be worthless to go into Overload for just a few seconds because it costs time and you can not weave nor use any weapon skills in it, plus Atronach isn't bad and would outperform Overload pretty soon when you decrease the amount of shots you get with the latter.

And what does that have to do with the fact there are also other ultimates that cost a lot of ultimate at once and offer different things? Same is also true for Sorcs, and it just has no relevance at all to the subject. Like, random fact: Negate costs more than 5 Overload shots but deals less damage. !?

Overload is fine as it is. Do you realize Power Ovetload used to boost the damage by 15% and now it's down to 6% that's a HUGE freaking nerf!

It's the only decent ultimate sorcs have left, negate is useless in its current form, and atro sucks because it's the only atro in the game that can be eclipsed, stunned, knocked down, etc

The only decent ultimate sorcs have in pvp right now is Overload,and dps in pve is pretty much based on it. Sorc dps in pve sucks without Overload. Just leave it alone it's one of the easiest ultimate to avoid so it should hit hard if you can't avoid it.

Dawnbreaker hits every bit as hard with a huge dot in an undodgeable AOE and is dirt cheap, in most cases dawnbreaker is better then Overload. Overload only works on unsuspecting enemies or people who don't dodge, block, harness

20-30k damage regukarly from this attack, from a class that's already op. Kinda ridiculous.

Lol ur joking right? Sorc pve dps is *** as is my nb and dk can pull more easily. Without overload resources would be crap and damage would be even farther behind other classes. What makes good in pve is the fact their so tank due to shields. Otherwise the damage is crap
