Quick noob question.

MidknightWolf

When I cast an Ultimate ability and have more than the cost of the ultimate in my pool, it still uses all my ultimate. Does ultimate abilities do more damage with more ultimate stored? Is it supposed to consume all of the ultimate?

No, they dont cause more damage.
Yes. Its sopposed.

As of now.. Only sorc's ult ( overload ) has the advantage of using a 1000 charged ult. And everything else will use 100% of the ult you saved up what ever the cost is.

The additional ultimate allows you to switch ult and still have enough to cast even if it costs more. Or, if you have just over the amount for a low cost ult, you need to collect more to cast a high cost ult.

I was curious about that myself as well, but I think it has to do something with the duration with some ultimate. I noticed when it's at 1000, it seems to last a bit longer than when I hit it again after it gains back 100. But yeah, when I switched weapon, I noticed I still have about 160 or a bit more left over right after using it when it was at 1000. So, I can use another ultimate back to back. I think I have that passive ability slot to be able to throw out 2 consecutive. Like when I use my stand of might at 1000, then switch to bow and still able to lash out my soul assault ultimate. So, I think maybe at 1000, since it seems longer, you get the max damage versus the shorter period at 100 or so.

We used to have at least one Ultimate, in the Nightblade line, that scaled from the Ultimate Pool, but that is no longer the case.

Amount of ultimate affects absolutely nothing. The only ultimate in the game that benefits from having more ultimate than the activation cost is Overload.

It doesn't affect damage, or duration, or buffs/debuffs. It ONLY determines whether you have enough to activate the ultimate or not.

Probably the only reason we can even get to 1000 ultimate is because that is what the werewolf ultimate used to cost at launch.

That... doesn't happen. You can't affect the duration of the ultimate this way and when you cast an ultimate, you empties the pool on both bars. If you have some ultimate points after switching bars, it's either a bug or it happens because you already built it back up. Soul Assault is pretty cheap, so it could happen. Soul Harvest or Shooting Star could do do that too.

this question came to my mind also one day, if I save it to 200 % if it hits double, but then I forgot to ask somehow..

thanks for answers !
