Overload needs a nerf!

From full health to dead in less than 2 seconds.

This should not be possible!

Between, Naming and shaming.

Did your buttons for Roll dodging, blocking, or using a dmg shield stop working?

Only useful for gank.

and very very very flashy, easily avoidable, reflectable, blockable.

You took a cc and then were in the cc long enough to take two overload shots. The best advice one can give for this is cc break faster so you can do stuff.

Overload doesn’t need a nerf. It has numerous counters

13k is way too high damage output for a spamable ult, thats 26k hit before you even take into account my spell and crit resist.

Overload needs a BUFF! Those are pitiful numbers compared to Leap or Incap.

Holy ***, I love pvp in this game, but since I joined the forums I just wish It didn't exist, every cry for a nerf comes from the pvpers.

No it doesn’t need a nerf, the guy doing it is casting crystal blast (really) out of stealth, then overload while you’re down. On top of that, he’s running at least two offensive sets including queen’s elegance. That set is terrible for anything else but O/L ganking, and he has zero sustain or defense.

You can block, dodge roll, reflect, shield, shimmer, etc. it’s all avoidable. Sorc isn’t even a stealth class, so they can’t jump back INTO stealth after ganking someone if you shoot them. He can NEVER escape if you have friends.

PS: This is what you’ve all reduced Sorc to with your ridiculous nerf threads. Ganking for kills. I hope you whiners eat dirt hard and often. I hope the guy who did this to you teabagged for a full minute at least.

Overload plays a very clear and audible soundcue when it´s fired at your character giving you enough time to innitiate countermeasures.
A simple dodgeroll on hearing it would have saved you. Block aswell.

NERF SORC! OP CLASS! RAWR!!!! Q('.'Q)

Hardly.

My dual wielding dk's leap with spinner + sun + slimecraw with continious and infused spelldmg glyph proc is shortly above 27k

Meanwhile my overload sorcs (blobs wannabe spinner+slime+elegant) is shortly over 30k PER overload lightattack. Empowered

Both with apprentice mundus with 6 divine 1 impen.
Darkelf dk and altmer sorc.
The DK even has full undaunted where the sorc is undaunted 7.

Tough for some reason when I use magelight my leap tooltip doesn't go up. But leap you use once, overload you can store up to 500 and spam.

So no, you can get similar damage to leap/incap in ONE overload lightattack if not more. Not a good thing to compare it with

Not if you don't run miats to save you from the crystal blast stun or even worse, runecage which cannot be dodged or blocked. Until you CC break you eat atleast one overload. Similar to the high damage snipe builds you seemed to dislike.

So instagibbing with overload/sorc is fine?

Stop with these pointless nerfs already.
And no, I don't play sorc.

I don't mind overload really. Just pointing out some things. People comparing it to leap or incap but forget to mention it can be used multiple times.

And acting as If it's weak/easily dodgeable without thinking of the traveltime of the overload meaning you can get 1-2 to land with a stun.

And forgot to mention they can utilize stealth similar to the gankblades sorcs use to despise.

DivineFirstYOLO

It's just a skill like every other.. it's as annoying as snipe if you are fighting 1vX and one guy in the back is sniping/overloading you. Doesnt really do much in a 1v1 unless you get ganked on your horse by it.. up your volume and block it in that case.

Ragnarock41

each overload LA hits like a leap.

obviously very well balanced.

good thing I have wings to counter it

oh wait, wings are still bugged.

Beardimus

Roll a sorc and try it. People dodge half of them, it's pretty ineffective unless you are against inexperienced players. I ran OL from launch but PvP it sucks and you run a niche build to use it

The only fun ive had with it recently is running it as emp, proper noob cannon then

Any big hit following a stun is going to do damage. You got ganked is all.

It's already had the biggest nerf of any ultimate cutting it for 1000 to 500. It certainly doesn't need another.

There are plenty of anti gank measures. And actually the ganker that hit you mis times it, OL / CB / OL is better.

So like now that dive got nerf is the new MO to take a screenshot of just one ability in a death recap?

Let me get this straight.

Overload is ‘balanced’ because it does as much damage as every other ultimate in the game. ONLY when wearing a garbage set that buffs light attack damage? AND empower? That’s 40% stacked bonuses...

https://youtu.be/qHBQ0c5f-Zo

If anything, nerf queens elegance set. Leave our damn ultimate alone. *** potatoes are ruining this game with the crying. All day and night. Whining. About a class that’s already been nerfed into complete stupid to play anymore.

Delete your damn game already!

I've had more sorcs kill themselves using overload, than hurt me. Most players running it are scrubs, if you reflect it back on them, they usually die in 2 sec. (I'm not sure of its viability in PVE anymore, but for PVP its a zerg or gank skill)

Reverb

A sorc who hits this hard with overload, is specifically built to do so. Similar to builds centered around PvP healing, tanking, ganking, or bombing, they are very good at what they are good at, not so much at others. You failed to counter the thing this person is good at, that doesn't mean it needs nerfed. It means you need to improve your situational awareness, your cc immunity uptime, and your survivability.

You died, deal with it.

IZZEFlameLash

Overload is fine. If you die to it: 1. You got ganked. 2. They were in zerg. If not these circumstances, I don't know what to tell you. You just died to an ultimate rarely used by sorcs due to its slowness and having many counters.

Or you know, having resistance is handy too.

OP, do you have any resistances at all, or are you just stacking health?

You might want to invest in Major Ward, along with some impen pieces in order to mitigate some of that crit damage.
