Oh my god, the Propaganda in that elemental storm description is so huge
My highlights:
"Elemental Storm: Enemy troops closing in? Drop a cataclysmic storm in their path and watch the devastation ensue. This instant-cast ground target area-of-effect attack creates a storm that builds for two seconds, then lays waste to all enemies in the area by dealing Magic Damage over time. The storm type will be Fire, Frost, or Shock, depending on the type of Destruction Staff you currently wield."
"As a master of the elements, we wanted those who use the Destruction Staff to be able to wreak havoc over a large swath of the battlefield. Elemental Rage covers a larger area than any other Ultimate. The total damage on this ability is also some of the highest in the game. To counterbalance its massive area coverage and high damage, this Ultimate's cost is appropriately higher than its counterparts."
"In true elemental fashion, the Elemental Rage morph grants access to unique bonuses based on the Destruction Staff type used. Frost locks enemies into place to help ensure they take full damage from the storm. Shock offers the highest total damage, but requires the target to be contained within the storm for the full duration. Fire deals the most damage each hit, making it ideal for killing foes before they have a chance to retaliate. Use of this ability is particularly effective in dungeons with a high density of enemies or against large groups of enemy players in PVP."
They really believe, they have created something. They are so convinced of that ult.... despite it being the worst ult of all.

Be quiet.
You're going to ruin the roleplayer immersion. Some people want to be real wizards.

Hahaha good one with that destro ulti description! Shame on you ZOS for confusing people with this. Apparently, some of them already believed you lol.
Finally some sweet stuff for tanks? Oh really? Looking forward to try shield ultimates, looks really awesome.

When designing the Two-Handed Ultimate, we were aiming for a brawler-style attack that would be uniquely powerful, but also increase survivability for melee builds. Berserker Strike does both of these things. It's the only attack that ignores the target's armor while buffing yours.

It's literally not even close to being as bad as you and others make it out to be, this ult is great and will see plenty of mileage from a plethora of players on live who are smart enough to take advantage of it.

At this moment, I see absolutely zero use for the destro ult at all. Anything that it can do, Meteor or Bat Swarm can do beter. Seriously, if you know some secret trick with it, please share, as I'm actually a huge fan of the visual effect and would love a reason to slot it besides it just looking pretty.

Some highlights:
- Expecting the resto ult to be a boon to STAMINA characters
- Calling the destro ult high damage, when it's basically a subpar version of Meteor, with a morph that turns it into a subpar version of Bat Swarm
- Expecting the destro ult's slightly larger range than Meteor or Bat Swarm to cause it to see significant usage against large groups in PVP, when AOE caps mean that the game punishes you for hitting more than six players
