Nerf Ultimates.

Ultimates are too powerful. They need a 30% damage decrease across the board.

Also, it’s not realistic that you can target your enemy and successfully damage them.

Especially Meteor and Dawnbreaker and their morphs. If the boss moves the Ultimate cost should be wasted.

I’ll go ahead and add Take Flight, Solar Prison, Consuming Darkness I meant incap Incap and why not throw Storm Atronach, Overload, and Empowering Sweep on the pyre too.

All Ultimates that damage need to have a chance to waste the ultimate cost and a 30% damage reduction.

If we nerfed your class ultimates by 30% it would give you more variety so you don’t feel as though slotting your class ultimate was mandatory.

How about a compromise of a 3% increase in damage passives? You won’t even barely notice your class ultimate has been nerfed.

    It does. People complain that they HAVE to slot Dawn Breaker or Meteor if they want to be competitive in dps. So Nerfing ultimates makes it less mandatory.

    It's not nerf to a couple of ultimates which is really needed. As if there's not more than enough nerfs to so many skills already.
    It's a very thorough re-thinking of many useless abilities (including ultimates) in the game to actually make them useful everywhere, instead of single situations, or not at all. Then it won't be slotting just 2 ultimates to "be competitive".

    No I’m speaking on behalf of the entire game. Not just nerfed with Battle Spirit in Cyrodiil.

    Nerfed all over. Especially dungeons and trials. In my first post I specifically mention the ultimates having a chance at missing the boss.

    Well, I've never heard of people complaining about the power of ultimates in PVE. Nobody uses Meteor or is forced to use meteor in vet trials and vet dlc dungeons. There is a variety of game play options for the use of ultimates in PVE. I use a different ones for different situations for my healer, dps and tank. I've never felt trapped into using just one ultimate. I use whatever fits the situation the best.

    If we reduce the damage of your class ultimates we can buff the base damage of your class. The overall DPS would be within 1-2% of what it was. This means that anyone who doesn’t use ultimates will see less of a dps loss as compared to those who do use ultimates.

    Also, changing ultimates to have a miss chance and wasted cost makes gameplay more strategic. Not every attack has to be successful.

    4.30 Combat Changes

    Renamed “Ultimates” to “Ultimehs”. Ultimehs will now be dodged if your target moves or presses any buttons whatsoever.

    Developer comment: This is a buff if you’re a clueless zergling who can’t stand out of ‘the red’ or who’s never discovered the block button.

    The only powerful ultimates in this game is dawnbreaker + mighty whineblade 70cost ulti that either increases his damage done on you 20%(magic vers) or defiles besides doing a XXXXload of damage.

    Whineblade ulti would be fine with a cost increase to match all the other ultis, since they passively get 20 ulti when they pot(lol)

    But the real problem is dawnbreaker, its being severely abused in PvP by tanks combined with retraited fury/7thLegion/Ravager that results unkillable tanklings in a zerg formation healing each other + focusing 5+ AoE ultis on one or more guys.

    Templar ultis are still trash healbot ultis.
    Sorc ultis are still trash zergling negatebot ulti and nothing else.
    DK's ultis are fine, not op not bad.

    Warden healbot ulti.. Permafrost...LoL
