Mag Sorc is not really in a good place right now. It’s one of the weaker classes, all it really has is Bolt Escape now...Stam builds or more mobile, mag Nightblades are better casters, Templars are better healers, other mag classes are better damage dealers. Look how rough mag Sorcs have had it in Legends duels as of late...it’s pretty painful

We’re in an absolute terrible place right now competitively.
It’d be nice if the devs would fix it so that we’re not free AP Piñatas for every other class. @ZOS_GinaBruno

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 withOverload 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.
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?
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...

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!

Edit:
I think you need to read my post again and see who/what I replied to. It wasn't to the OP claiming overload needs to be nerfed.
That person wrote that it does pitiful damage compared to leap / incap which simply isn't true.
While forgetting that you use leap / incap once and it's gone, meanwhile you can spam overloads FROM greater range with SIMILAR damage tooltip WITHOUT empower aswell.
I simply pointed out that it wasn't correct.
If you want I can take screenshots from both my sorc and dk on their tooltips with glasscannon gear without empower if that statisfies you?
Perhaps you should go ahead and delete your forum account instead?

It’s blockable, dodgable, and reflectable. When I can reflect your incap back at you and kill you, let’s talk. For the slightly higher damage (on the power morph only) you still don’t get a CC on it like take flight or incap. If you’re getting hit harder than 7-8K or so, you’re not wearing enough armor, impen, or you don’t have enough points in elemental defender and ironclad.
The projectile is also slow, and makes a very distinctive noise like snipe. And for the same cost, you’re only getting a couple of shots. If you save up 500 ult you get more, but then you’re comparing it to something like two consecutive lightning Destro ultimates for damage. Sorry guys, Destro ultimate wins, it can’t be blocked or dodged if you’re stuck in the mess.
I’m pretty sure overload also doesn’t get the ancient knowledge bonus from a Destro staff, where other ults will. Getting in and out of overload is clunky even if you cancel the animation, it’s not like you can smoothly swap weapons back and forth in a fight, (ie shield, heal, and come right back offensive).
That being said, I use it mostly for the third bar for buffs. I really only shoot it at mounted people, or snipe spammers on castle walls who aren’t paying attention.
Do I think it’s balanced? Yes. On Sorcs it is. Give it to a magblade? Probably not.
Is someone actually legit using Overload still? Aside from ganks - did you get ganked there? Because that's almost the only scenario where it can even be used anymore. You can dodge, block, reflect Overload, some of the times it simply misses just because(I don't mean "dodged", I mean it misses its target, even in PvE. I have no idea why, happens every now and then even with tab targeting), it gets you stuck in heavy attacks some more of the times, it takes FOREVER to hit the target and you're still complaining?
Before doing one of those "nerf this because I got killed by it" threads perhaps do some research into how the skill works and what its counters are. Also 13k damage lol...I've been hit by about that much by Warden birds which aren't even dodgeable(at least they will be next patch, thank the divines)...I've definitely been hit by as much and more with Dizzying Swing and stuff...
Overload is probably the buggiest ultimate in the game, it needs a lot of love and fixes, I really hate how they find it okay to nerf a skill multiple times but not actually FIX it >.<

It's a gank build.
I've been hit by it and survived. I've been hit by NB bombs and survived. And I'm in light armor. OP needs some form of additional defense. Maybe more impen, more efficient CP allocation, a defensive set or buff, I dunno. I don't care.
However, I wouldn't be opposed to an Overload REWORK.
Get rid of third bar, make toggles slottables and buffs. Make Overload an instant burst ult, akin to Dawnbreaker or Incap. Boom. Sorc now has top tier ultis and is highly competitive again while removing cheesy nonsense.
