possible sword and board ultimate idea?

bovardjeff_ESO · July 2014

Since starting ESO I have loved being sword and shield as my main fighting style but i miss the fact that it has no ultimate

so i thought about it and decided on a idea to fill out two wants of players. Make an shield ultimate that does an aoe effect taunt and damage in a radius around the tank. Also i thought it would be a good idea to give its morphs as either a on use heal based on targets hit or damage reduction etc.
i also had the idea for the ultimates damage type to change based on your 1h weapons enchantment. so fire shock ice etc even unresistable damage

and being a tank skill the ultimate would do around the same damage as radial sweep. thanks for reading and please be kind with comments if you don't like it or wanna comment be constructive not just mean thanks.

This doesn't really fit with the theme of the skill line, which is all about attack (either with your weapon or your sheild). It would probably work better if the ultimate was an attack of some sort.

Maybe it could be that you send a ghost version of your sheild and weapon to attack from the other side, just floating in the air and attacking for you.

Hmm i actually like the ghost weapons idea however, I did state that the ultimate would be an attack but it would pull aggro as well while doing a smallish amount of damage in a area of effect.

Also while the sword and shield skill line is mostly attack it is a more defensive skill line. After all its the only skill line outside undaunted with a taunt

Adding a ultimate taunt would work well in my opinion.

You forgot to capitalize after your colon.

Otherwise, my thought is that this is a pretty cool idea. The ghost weapons sounds cool too, but I see that as more of a dual-wield ultimate. I don't see a floating shield looking as sweet as two weapons, whatever the combination may be.
