Templar Heal Ultimate now dead in PvP (negatable) - intended or bug?

Diundriel · September 2022

I noticed that enemy players are now able to pull you out (interrupt/stop) of your templar healing ultimate with negates. As I come back from a break from the game I wanted to ask if this is intended... In PvP group play it makes the ultimate basically useless as NPCs or enemies can insta counter you defensive ultimate - both morphs are affected (of negate and of the templar ultimate...). Templars therefore rely on resto ultimate and barrier or the group just goes for a nb healer to get a nice and med expensive group burst heal ultimate (and the unique templar ultimate is therefore dead in group play pvp).

Would be nice to know if this is intended or not

cheers

Yes, it is intended as it turns off all abilities that cost Magicka, Health, and Ultimate. Certain channels and toggles were bugged and could continue on until that was fixed.

If my destro ult can be instantly cancelled on a resource by an NPC dropping a negate, why not the templar heal ult as well?

kinda no one uses stationary destro ultimate in grp play (unless you play range bomb blade); and the one that "moves with" you doesn't get negated.

Healing Ulti has never been negatable (don't know when they made it negatable, maybe 1-2 years ago idk; in the way that it interrupts your ultimate). In the past you just had to roll dodge out of the negate to cast templar heal ultimate or assume that you probably will get negated and preventivly cast it (which no longer is possible) - while it is still possible to use other healing ultimates (night blade heal ultimate and barrier) in that way.

Just thinking it makes the ultimate kinda useless as you have to be stationary (at least in one morph and the other one if damn slow) and are in that way the easiest target for a negate ... so you are 100% guaranteed die if you cast your ultimate ...

and if there is no good counter on templar people will just switch to a different class and stack their earthgore sets again to counter negates (at least in group play // ball groups) which will be kinda a boring meta ...
