Overload

The_White

I've started playing quite recently, around 1 month ago.

Today I found out that it's awesome to just walk around as a sorcerer with the skill overload being active. Was expecting it to dissapear once I would mount my lion, but it still stays active. Just curious and was wondering if more people here like to walk around with overload active?

I was lucky enough to get the atronach juggling memento, and occasionally I'll turn on Overload and juggle.

overload is definitely a really cool looking ultimate...like you're ready at any moment to shoot lightening right out of your hands...

super useful pve skill also, pretty much used it to clear lots of tough content when I first started out...

I only use overload to travel. Its the bar I stick rapids on.

Same - and defensive rune.

I often run 5 piece Elegant and 5 piece Netch's touch or Martial knowledge on my sorc.

Overload is glorious

I don't walk around with it on, but I toggle it on and off alot as I put longer buffs and stuff on it.

Retreating manuever, magelight, surge and Balance (from mages guild) my entire bar consists of long buffs

very handy for traveling in cyrodil, keep defensive rune up, run rapids, have a few offensive skills at hand for gankers.

Yes to bad they just nerfed it by cutting stored ultimate in half. Imo that was pointless nerf. I love the ultimate and will probably still keep it on back bar.

Why could the not reduced overload cost, I can agree you could keep it up for forever before but now its way to short.
Something midway would work, I guess this has to do with the warden bear who will also use part of ultimate on resurrect.

It's because a sorc could overload from 1000 down to 240 and then hit destro ultimate. That was far too powerful and the change was a necessary balance.

I haven't used overload before - does your ult need to be full to access the third bar, or can you call it up whenever you're prepared to travel?
