I cant be excited about abillities I dont know yet. I can just hope some will be not underwhelming.

Balancing compared to existing Ults in the current Magicka vs Stamina balance will be tricky !

There are 4 Stamina Weapon lines
and only 2 Magicka Weapon lines,
of which the Resto will likely be pidgeonholed in healing or support.

Meaning that in terms of DPS, Stamina has a 4 to 1 advantage to pick good matching Ults and morphs.

This can easily be balanced if the ults are not "boooom, baam. nuke-everything"-damage dealers.
I hope for them to be supportive abilities.

Weapon Ultimates were confirmed by Rich Lambert. Let's start some speculation what do you think each one will be like?

Also which weapon ultimate are you most excited for?

I picked sword and board. Hoping one of the morphs is an aoe taunt

Cously

Sword and Shield

The Warror's shield throw...that would be sexy.

Junipus

Bow: Taking aim.
Cost - 100.
Range - 42m
Fire a charged arrow at your target dealing X damage (based on WD and potential one shot).
Morphs: One adds knock back, the other adds a resource drain for 3 seconds.

What I would like to see from weapon ults that would be suitable for pvp or pve:

2h: Something similar to Dawnbreaker. A massive swing that deals DoT as a bleed to only one target and slows them. Basically you are crushing bones and flesh into a pulp. This is already a very strong tree and doesn't really need much. Morphs could turn this into an AoE swing around the caster or a gap closer that then executes the damage and slow.

Sword and Board: an AoE taunt that does moderate damage. Like a dragon leap but doesn't move you and doesn't cc other than the taunt. I know ZoS said they wouldn't never have an AoE taunt but hey. This is an ult, you can spam it very often anyway. Could also reduce your damage taken for X secs, instead of granting more resistances like every other ability does. Morphs could a shield throw that bounces to a number of enemies, taunting them or a stampeding charge for a number of secs that taunts all enemies that you charge through.

DW: This line seems very strong as is (despite having no built in gap closer). Maybe an ult that dramatically increases your damage out put with DW abilities should go here. like a 200% damage increase for X secs and allows you to ignore a certain percentage of armor for Y secs. Morphs could allow you to blink to one target dealing a moderate amount of extra damage or causes all of your attacks in the next Z secs to all have 100% crit chance.

Bow: I would like to see an ult here that does a single target rapid fire. Like you fire X amount of shots into a single target at a missive range. Either that or an execute shot that deals damage based on the missing health of the target. Morphs could increase also add a passive that causes your bow abilities to deal extra damage to targets poisoned by your poison injection or venom arrow.

Destro: This weapon line is probably the weakest at the moment. While Ele drain, Crushing shock and Pulsar are useful they aren't really that impressive or interesting. I think an ult here should be dynamic and be based on what type of staff you have. Like a fire staff would set you on fire for X secs and increase your resistances dramatically and cause everything around you to take a large amount of fire damage and sets them on fire doing DoT for Y secs. Lighting could increase your move speed significantly and cause you shoot bolts of chaining lightning to up to X targets for Y secs dealing large amounts of damage to the first enemies struck. Since Ice staves are garbo and no one seems to use them except for very niche builds, this one should drive people to use them regularly. Maybe something like channeling and dealing damage in a large cone in front of you for X secs that roots targets to the ground for Y secs and deals a large amount of damage and slows them for a large amount while they are inside the cone and for Z secs after they exit the cone. If not a cone then perhaps a large AoE around the caster or even an AoE at a target location with the same effects. Morphs could increase the size, duration, and/or damage of effects.

Resto: I HOPE this ult can make classes other than Templars able to heal as a primary role. I'd like to see this ult have a passive that, while slotted increases your healing done by X% with HoT effects, increases the shields you cast on others by Y%, and can be activated to reduce the damage taken by up to Z party members while they are within Q meters of the caster for and healing them moderately for V secs. Morphs could also restore a small % of missing resources for affected party members upon activation or reduce the cost of spells and abilities for all party memebers affected by the activation.

As long as templars are the only class which can restore your teammates stamina, other classes won't be first choice in most content. All classes can offer enough healing, but templars are the king of ressource-support (and also provide lots of synergies, which is important for some sets atm).

Most weapon ultis will probably some kind of "deal xx damage to x enemies", but I'm curious about the restro staff one. I really hope it will not be something boring like the Templar healing ulti. Interessting options would be:
- protective shell, that will protect an ally from death once, similar to the phoenix set
- instant in combat ress
- ressource restore
- toggle: "reduce the damage an ally takes by xx%, drains x ultimate per second / for each 10k damage mitigated

the 2h is the shehai storm (starfall we called it) or the 2h cleave (the one like shield throw)

coming from other MMOs to ESO, I still find it very strange that healers are responsible for their teammates resources in some way. Like the way repentance works is ok and decent but theres no real alternative for magicka user except for Luminous Shards which is meh for magicka and great for stam. Then again i generally don't like how shards function anyway. I wish they would change it so that they arent stolen by dps and can only be used by some one with a sword and shield equipped OR that when you throw it, it increases the magicka and stamina recovery of those around it in a very, very short radius by 100% or more.

Magicka has Orbs, elemental drain and siphon spirit. Btw. Stam-DPS need some shards aswell...alkosh or moondancer-users need all kinds of synergies, why should it be exclusive for S/B-users?

Sword and Shield

Hoping for an AOE taunt....

Lucky28

Destruction Staff

for the restoration staff ult. it would be kinda cool if it fell into the illusion class of magic. like changing the morphs on all enemies in a certain radius. so if your a stam build you suddenly find yourself with all magicka abilities and vise versa for 20 seconds or so while affected your dodge roll/block costs either magicka or stamina depending on your build.

just a complete mind *** situation. would be kinda cool.

Nighn_9

the 2h ulti will bring 2h's back

Strider_Roshin

This will most likely be the 2H ultimate;

Also it will cost only 50 ultimate lol.

DeanTheCat

How about... sparks?

Cost: 50 ulti

Morph: Heated Blades

Scrape your blades against each other with legerity to produce a blinding flash of light, blinding the target for 5 seconds, causing all melee strikes to miss. The heat from the flash lingers on the metal, granting Major Berserk on your next attack.

Love my bows. I'm guessing we'll get some sort of AOE.

Weapon: Bow
Ultimate skill name: Rapid fire
Cost:120 ultimate
Range: 30m
Target: enemy
Duration: 3 secs

Description:
"Fire a hail of arrows with great precision in rapid succession dealing x physical dmg over 3 seconds."

We already have endless hail.
I was hoping for something over the top - I'm talking Final Fantasy style.

"Stellar Harpoon

Launch an arrow blessed by Meridia to skewer a heavenly body. Upon impact, the projectile explodes sending cosmic fragments hurdling towards your enemies."

Something like that, maybe.

hopefully a veil of blades esque ultimate that changes based on the element, and does more damage of course or provides some utility

You mean like impulse/elemental ring?

Instant 5 man battle rezz

That would be pretty cool - I hope they introduce an insta-kill boss mechanic which would wipe a group, but having that would prevent an actual wipe.

Also, I'm really hoping these ults come with a serious passive to accompany.

Helgi_Skotina

What about "i win" ulti? costs 1 ulti, deals 100k damage with 100m radius, heals caster for 100% of max HP, gains major self-respect for 10 hours?

I think the destruction staff ultimate would be a summon. depending on the staff.......Ice would be frost atronach, flame a fire atronach, and storm would prob be thunder storm.

or they would be firestorm, thunderstorm, blizzard.

That's a cool thought.

I really wish they would split the classes for this stuff, though. I think it would be great if they split sorc to be more arcane/summoner focused and more elemental focused.

Arcane: Dark Magic, Daedric Summoning, NECROMANCY
Elemental: Earth/Fire, Water/Ice, Air/Lightning

The skills in the latter line could actually permit a summoned follower.

I think Class Specialisation would definitely make the game a lot better. I'm kind of tired of the same old.

NewBlacksmurf

Restoration Staff

I know everyone is thinking DPS!!!!

But if you play PvE group content, I bet tank and healer weapon ultimates will be your favorite (assuming they make sense and are done well)

Suggestion:
Healer: The ultimate should cost less than 60 and fill up very often. The effect should provide shields, HOTs and resistances. Maybe another morph could be regen based with a dmg shield DOT.

-crazy idea unbalanced would be a group Rez (yes crazy but viable in PvE)

Tank:
So if u actually play sword n shield, freaking give these ppl a 60 cost aoe high dmg Taunt DPS. For balance tho, the dmg is taunt based so in PvP it'll have little dmg difference.

A morph could potentially be a HOT shield that or something.
