    OK, if the post above with the pics is any indication, that S&B ult is way to OP. I could keep probably 60-70% up-time on it, imagine what good tanks could do. Ult needs to be ~200 for something like that.

    That 2h ult, full refund on a kill, also waaaay too OP, tone that down HARD.

    Kinda sad the DW ult is not the most PvE oriented, but that might just be me. The rest seem balanced.

    The 2H ultimate is absurd when combined with the PVP meta for 2H. Rework it entirely.

    DW ulti definitely is the most PvE oriented, if that DoT can be cleansed or negated with cloak.

    Destro looks a bit weak, casting yourself is nice for PVP, utilizing that with gap closing you can maintain full dot potential on people. I can only see this glitching out constantly.

    Really? I'm struggling to think of cases when it wouldn't be absolute overhealing... I don't think I'd ever use it. Maybe it would be OP in PVP though.

    I'm really disappointed that the restoration staff ultimate does not restore resources, missed opportunity IMO.
    Agreed. But maybe a morph of it does? Has anyone seen the morphs and I maybe missed them?

    Thats what Im talking about
    OK, I could see that being potentially OP in PVP. I barely ever PVP so I don't have a good handle on how something like that would balance out with the healing reduction and stuff, so I'll bow to the judgement of those who do PVP on whether it's balanced for it or not.

    I see it more anti-zerg oriented. But bow is silly and is gonna be the Ult of choice. Since it is a channel (like Soul Assault) then Maelstrom Daggers buff it, so it will look more like 80-100k damage over 4 seconds, and if you take the insta-cast morph...

    yeah, that sounds interesting. Kinda hope it DOESN'T work in this manner.

    Oh, some positive feedback: the shield ultimate, cost and everything, actually makes it kinda tempting for my tanks. Not over warhorn for super serious content, but could be fun in vet four mans. Good work there, ZoS. I'm glad you didn't change the whole game and do a group-wide taunt. Never, ever do that. We have WoW and every other MMORPG released in the last decade for that.

    I really dislike the destruction staff one.

    Magica did NOT need more aoe ultimates. It needed a singletarget burst one.
    We have Nova, negate, standard, veil and batswarm all of which are in their way more tempting than this destro ultimate.

    That´s just sad.

    True, but people may argue that if the healer can grant major force then you don't need to run ulti gen tanks to keep the buff up.

    Spear wall would not be able to be used in vMoL final boss as reflecting those projectiles heals the boss. And again is not as good as Warhorn/ Veil of Blades / Magma Shell / Nova or Empowering Sweep. Maybe for a sorc tank but meh. Might be ok in pvp / decent for tanking axes in AA

    I know I saw that. I meant you kill 1 guy and you get that ult cost back. You kill 5 guys you get 5 time ult cost back.

    It's single target so you cant kill 5 guys with it. Unless you were meaning there to be some inherent cooldown on the ult return.

    Really? It seems kinda underwhelming to me.

    I mean, an ULTIMATE, and the only effect is that it basically saves you some stamina every now and then. And the more block cost reduction you have, the worse the ultimate is(because it saves less stamina).
