My warden's bear. I like the bear much better than any summon my sorc can conjure and absolutely love that it is an ultimate instead of requiring what I view as a more valuable 'normal' skill slot. I like the perks that come from slotting it as well as the companionship if the bear. I never ever use the 'special ability' so my ult is always at 500; that makes slotting the CP that gives you health regen based on your current ult a no brainer. In effect, a passive 2k boost to health regen = equals a pretty nice no effort heal over time.

Shooting Star. When soloing dungeons I can use it almost every trash pull.

I second this especially because they are adding Bleed Damage to the Stam Morph. Now if only they added Ice to the Mag Morph so I can have a Polar Bear friend while riding a Polar Bear with a Little Polar Bear Cub.

Ice Comet for clearing large groups of mobs.

My favourite ultimate depends on which character I am playing at any given time.

For all of my Vampire characters no matter the class (I have at least one vampire and non-vampire in each class) it is the Swarm Scion or Perfect Scion because I like them.

For non-vampire characters

Sorcerer – Atronach but overload is kind of fun too but there is nothing like summoning a giant to do your dirty work for you lol
Nightblade – Soul Tether or temporal guard from Psijic Order
Dragonknight – Ferocious Leap because it is fun leaping
Templar – no real favourite – generally use a weapon ultimate or a guild ultimate like ice comet
Warden – Eternal Guardian…nothing like having a huge bear fighting for you
Necromancer – Goliath…I love transforming into killing machines

Incap/soul harvest, pretty simple.

Same here, it's my favourite, and recharges fairly quickly too. I use Volcanic Rune frequently to recharge the ultimate (and never get tired of seeing the mobs flying up into the air when I use it).

I like the old version of negate, which could remove various ground effects in PVE. This made it unique and valuable, but sadly this function has been neglected for over four years now (AFAIK Asylum Sanctorium was the last trial where it could negate anything, and has been fairly useless from Cloudrest on).

I also liked Veil of Blades back when it gave 30% damage reduction to allies. This made it impactful enough to coordinate Veil rotations for some encounters. I don't think I've seen it used at all since it was reduced to 10% mitigation.

I can't really think of any impressive ultimates these days. Short clunky cast times sucked the fun out of several good ones. Others like DK Standard, Feral Guardian or Greater Storm Atro are powerful enough to be meta, but end up feeling more like mandatory visual clutter than something awesome to use.

FluffyReachWitch · May 2022

Absorption Field is great when I need a heal/stun combo. It's also nice for pulling the rug out from under an unsuspecting enemy in Cyrodiil. My only pain point here is that it doesn't reliably clean up AoEs like the tool tip suggests, especially in tricky PvE scenarios.

Greater Storm Atronach is nice on the offensive, especially in boss battles. It is also a big friend that gives my partner a convenient synergy.

And of course there is Shooting Star, but I haven't used it in ages. The impact effects are really satisfying though.

Kaelthorn_Nightbloom · May 2022

Colossus is such a cool looking ultimate.

Thecompton73 · May 2022

My very favorite use of an Ulti is Swarming Scion on my stamblade wearing Plaguebreak in a keep fight where there are tons of enemies packed together . Save 500 for a full Balorgh's charge, throw out Caltrops, transform and hit immovable then start doing Whirlwind, with each spin infecting another enemy . For the first ten seconds I have 32K penatration on anyone in the Caltrops, 26K on everyone else, 7.2k wd for poison/disease damage and 6.6 wd for physical, 40K stamina and am getting back 15% of all damage I do as healing.
Half the time it will cause everyone to focus me and I'll go down quick, but when it works it lets me absolutely destroy crowds.

Ryuvain · May 2022

Blood scion/Werewolf in general. Both are super unique and fun to use.

Incap and soul shred on nightblade. Gotta love their animations. Don't think I like other class' ults as much.

Vevvev · May 2022

Ferocious Leap

Clouding Swarm

Vaoh · May 2022

Ice Comet.

I wish Companion’s Starfall “spammable” was not a copy/paste Meteor... sort of ruined the cool factor of this hard-hitting ability.

yeah, with a meteor graphic it makes it appear to be an aoe, when its really only a single target skill, so i too wish it either had a different animation, or was an aoe (even if it was like skoria meteor and did less dmg to surrounding enemies)

Soul siphon & soul assault

Hescrow · May 2022

Overload because i like dbz for LA and star Wars for HA 😉

huge agree on bear. i hate it because it's not optional.

Akinos · May 2022

Thrive in Chaos. Underrated ult and most people still don't know what it is or how it works...at least in PvP.

phaneub17_ESO · May 2022

The ones where I use them, get hit by a mob knockback effect, and consume all the ultimate energy without ever casting :P

Any idea how that knockback effect works? I've actually noticed the same myself sometimes: I try to cast the ultimate, then notice it's been drained but its effect never occurred

Dracane · May 2022

I always loved Overload because it gives Sorcerer a strong identity and is the most unique ultimate in the game despite being fairly unimpressive and sadly useless in pve.

phaneub17_ESO · May 2022

I know its mostly zombie type mobs, usually at dolmens, where they gag all over you creates some pushback or they lunge forward causing your character to jolt backwards. If you happen to cast an ultimate at the exact time they perform that move, it interrupts the ultimate while still uses up your energy. This only happened after they changed ultimate to have a cast time.

fred4 · May 2022

DK Leap, when it works (PvP).

robpr · May 2022

Fiery/Thunderous Rage, I like the visuals and the casting sound. Icy Rage not so much as it looks like cheapo snowflakes rather than icicles.

Jaimeh · May 2022

Fiery rage and nova for the animations, there's also something really satisfying about the synergy on nova too. Tether looks cool as well, but I don't like the cast time on it. Leap, colossus, and northern storm are also fun to cast imo.

Ezorus · May 2022

Most useful/strongest: DB - simple effective
Most fun: Toxic barrage, untill they roll it all

Most hated: Leap -overtuned to F! Cheap, Stuns, gap closer, hits hard, aoe, can't dodge it, you stop moving and take damage before the animation even goes off!

Marginis · May 2022

Barrier is super fun for me to use, because it works great as an option to pull out defensively last-second, making me feel like Lucio in Overwatch or something. It's also great with an ult build, so you can spam it repeatedly and have so much uptime you effectively turn all your teammates into tanks.

Highly underrated, and I get how it's not "meta," but I enjoy it.

I_killed_Vivec · May 2022

My standard. Here is where I stand and fight!

The bear cause it's cute
