Sorc overload bar, no ulti swap?

Prior to wolfhunter I could put an ultimate different than the overload ultimate on my overload bar, and use a weapon ability on my overload bar to swap out of the overload bar without using the ultimate. Now I am unable to spot a different ulti on my overload bar. Was this intended? Didn't see anything in the patch notes about it.

    Most likely slotting another ult shouldn't have been possible. ZOS fixes many bugs that don't reach the patch notes...I've seen many bugs mysteriously vanish with no patch notes mentions. Maybe it was accidentally "fixed".

    Interesting.

    The stance on this was never clear, some felt it was an exploit or not intended. I guess if ZOS fixed it now we know.

    But why that's a stealth Nerf I don't know.

    Change control in these projects scares me

    Nah, definitely wasn't a bug. There were past posts about it and zos knew very well the use of the overload bar. Honestly, if there is any bug whatsoever that actually helps sorcs, the forums erupt with posts about it. Forums are 50% nerf sorc posts lol

    Just wondering why they wouldn't put it in notes

    I think that's a bug fix. You never should be able to slot a 3rd ultimate, because you couldn't use Overload attacks then. I'd consider being able to slot Life Giver for example an exploit.

    I didn’t think I could do it before just by dragging another ultimate to the slot when I tried. Didn’t you have to mess with it to get it to work?

    I used to slot Meteor on the 3rd bar to get more max mag. Plus, if you were only using overload for utility and not the damage, you could drop the ult on that bar.

    References? Can you quote a spot on the notes? Anything? Maybe it's a bug that you now can not lol

    They never clearly stated that in the past. And if it was ... why wasn't it fixed during one of the countless updates during the past years. I mean a third ulti can be game changing.

    We should be happy that we still have our third skill bar. OL is being "looked at", supposedly. Just imagine how boring the class becomes when the amount of free skill slots is being reduced.

    I have been playing a ton of pvp since the patch, and one really big pain point is the lack of a good burst ultimate for mag sorcs. Meteor gets blocked nearly every time and doesnt compare favorably to dawnbreaker.

    This is high on our priority list for mag sorc now. Wrobel is looking at options for reworking Overload, and we have advised him to move in that direction with it.

    I tried to change mine once and the game wouldn't let me, I guess there was some exploit involved? or did it somehow become a simple swap at some point?

    Sounds like Wardens recasting their bear ulti over and over until two spawned to me, not intended and not accidental.

    It only worked with Power Overload. It´s gone now anyway after 5 years or so.
