All This Talk of Nerf Sorc - How About a Buff? (Overload)

Okay so not really a buff but an improvement. Small but meaningful.

Currently if you are on your Overload bar, you cannot quick switch to your back bar and drop the Overload bar (you must hit ultimate again and then switch). Let's make this happen.

    I think he means for pve. It'd be nice to able to utilize the 3rd bar in End-game content.

    Overload feels very clunky as a skill. This would be a small, great improvement that will likely never happen for some unspecified mechanical constraint.

    Oh well.

    Power Overload
    -Change it, so you could still do your rotation and swap bar, and each light attack with a weapon would consume ultimates and deal additional damage ( like elemental weapons) until you run out or toggle off the ultimate, or make it deplete ultimate every 2 sec, so it only work with a good weaving.
    Charge your fists weapons with the power of the storm, Light attacks become Lightning bolts dealing X additional damage, and your heavy attacks blast enemies in target area near the target for X additional damage. Both attacks restores 300 magicka ( this would help with sustain a bit ) Attacks deplete Ultimate until you run out or the ability is toggled off. you can not gain ultimate while using this ultimate.

    Energy Overload
    - Keep it as it is " Charge your fists ect..." but reduce the damage, and reduce the time travel ( = faster )
    - Or Make The auditive clue more noticeable, you know, something that you can not miss, like the old jorvuld sound (but for the storm). if you don't pay attention to it you would deserve to be ganked. This would be fair.

    @brandonv516 put healing ward on your overload bar and it will automatically remove you from your overload bar onto your back bar.

    I only play PvE.

    Back when we had 1000 ultimate instead of 500, I found overload just a bit to clunky to use to make it worthwhile. With 500 ultimate my decision is much easier. So for me, overload requires much better 'ease of use' for me to even consider it.

    Overload works pretty well already.

    The change I would actually prefer is if the skill could be activated as long as you have any ult, but you can't fire until you acquire the 64 ult. It's a small change, but it gives overload more reliable utility.

    No, you already get a 3rd bar that no other class gets.

    Learn to look past your hate for a class which you clearly haven't a clue about.

    This has nothing to do with "you get this already" or "your class is too OP". This is basic functionality. If I am in the middle of using any other ultimate (which Overload is), I am able to switch bars quickly.

    I main a magicka NB followed by a magicka DK and magicka Templar. Then comes this class. I can be impartial, so can you.

    That's not a buff . It's just a very good suggestion to smooth the mechanics over .
