Bats will be the new bomb blade ult probably

Libonotus

Thanks to the buff being added in homestead. "Players may teleport to another player with 22 metres to deal high damage. Players can use teleport repeatedly until the ultimate expires"

Gilvoth

this sounds like a great change to help stop zerg piles.
but i am a bit concerened about what it means for a group of 3 to 6 people that they can teleport around like that.
this might make escape for a solo player really hard.

While mag blades will probably use this the most as well as get the most benefit from it, I think bomb blades will stick with destroult

Master_Kas

Didn't it say high damage to one enemy, making it trash for bombing?

Meaning, the pulsing aoe part of the ultimate is gone.

Not as long as eye of the storm exists in its current form

It sounds like the perfect Ult FOR zergs. A few of them pop this and then spam their high damage 22m gapcloser with simultaneous procs. If you aren't runing a high health+heavy armor+blocking cancer build you'll get oneshot.

Best. Balance. Ever

TELEPORTING ZERGS.

ZoS *** nailed it this time.

ParaNostram

Eh let's wait and see until it's actually used, guys. No need to be [censored]ing ourselves thinking about this when we haven't even messed around with it yet.

Ulfgarde

I'm assuming this is supposed to work like the last boss of Spindle II, so it'll be nice single-target damage and possibly be great at small-scale. That also means it sucks in zergs.

It's going to replace the Destro Ult at those Bridge Farms the Covenant players love to do so much.

Rampaging Vampires everywhere.

I think there's a bit of misinformation floating around in this thread. Here is what the patch notes say:

Clouding Swarm (Bat Swarm morph): This morph no longer causes your character to pulse invisibility every second it is active. Instead, activating the swarm now allows you use the ability again to instantly teleport to an enemy up to 22 meters away and deal high damage. This teleport can be used as many times as possible within the swarm’s duration.

Dont bring factions into this lol.

Wollust

What they basically did with this change is to encourage the stupid gap closer spam with that stupid gap closer snare. That's what I think.

Pretty much this slot a lightening staff and that bomblade will be doing even more damage then he would in this patch.
