Can someone further explain how Carve (Cleave morph) works?

The description of Carve makes it sounds like you get an Ultimate every 1.5 seconds. Use an ultimate, get another, use get another etc.
Wouldn't this then mean that you have unlimited Ultimates indefinitely?

Cathexis

I thought it was you gain ult for each target hit, did they change it?

wilsonirayb16_ESO

That could be correct, but it doesn't state that.
And by 'hit' are we speaking of white attacks on singular targets, or any ability (included AOE, and what about DoTs).

If it does require you to do damage to increase the ultimate, then it sounds like it's just an ultimate gain booster.

You gain 1 ultimate every 1.5 seconds for 9 seconds. It does not matter if you hit 1 Target or 20. It basically works just like a light/heavy attack except it gives 1 ultimate every 1.5 seconds instead of 3 ultimate every 1 second.

It gives you a boost to ultimate point gain rate.

Glurin

Wow, everybody is so worried about wrecking blow but all they had to do was look two skills up.

Seriously though, I'm pretty sure it means one ultimate point, not one ultimate.

Thanks all, that better explains it and makes me consider Brawler more!

Zsymon

It is crap, no one uses it, Brawler is far better.

Yolokin_Swagonborn

It used to be really good. It returned 3 ultimate per use, but ZOS nerfed it to hell and back when ultimate standardization began.

Since bleed effects in this game are anemic (see what I did there) and ineffective against damage shields, the additional ultimate gained by this and the 1HS ability is really not worth the skill slot.

Davadin

used to generate 3 ulti per HIT... any DK can go to town, gather as many mobs they can, and drop a big fat (pre-nerfed) banner of might......

i can solo a lot of group instances that way. dropping up to 3 banners active at the same time and laugh my ass off.


now it's brawler or just go pick something else.

You need brawler - you will have endless shield protection. This is important in group dungeons when you are soloing them...

I don't run a stamina build, so spamming Brawler is only an option if I am not losing stamina to dodges/Unstable flame.
Though I appreciate the comment, I will keep it in mind.

I am right in that the tooltip suggests for each mob you hit with the Brawler AE, you get additional shielding?

Oh yes. I don't know if you get stack effects if you hit a mob twice over time, but each mob you do hit with the skill bumps your shield up. Hit enough of them and you barely take any damage.
