Thoughts on standard/shifting Of Might

regime211

What are your thoughts on this ultimate? Should it be reworked? I have looked through mass amounts of pvp videos and have yet to see a stam dk utilize this ultimate other than the good old dawn breaker or corrosive armor. Sad because it's a very unique ultimate that requires situational awareness on when to use it. But I hardly see this ultimate being used even amongst magicka dragonknights. Any suggestions from the community regarding what can be done? If anything needs to be done to bring it up to par?

Shifting Standard for PvE lol

Its a strong ult for grp pvp used in conjunction with a harmony dd that can synergize it.

But the standards are shifting in PvE.

Lol I stated in the post either or and you guys all said shifting lol. What about standard of might?

Of the two, I prefer Shifting as it gives more uptime. Also, along with some Minor Heroism, it can be up almost full time.

Haven’t seen standard being used effectively in PvP for a long time and certainly haven’t died to it in ages so PvP wise yes I think it needs reworking however it’s still a very strong PVE ult (not shifting)

Shifting Standard can be annoying when used by premade, organised groups in BGs. I've been seeing an increase in its usage actually -- A Moving AoE source of Major Defile is quite strong.

The other morph is too expensive for what it does to be used in PvP.

Standard of Might is really good for stam and magicka DKs in PvE and I think it's fine as is. Shifting has always seemed like a niche PvP tool to me, but then I don't really PvP all that much.

If shifting isn't that useful in PvP, maybe it could be turned in to a utility morph that gives allies in the area a buff when the synergy is used? Minor heroism would seem to fit the theme and would be somewhat unique. Dunno if that would really be good or not though.

It's too expensive and honestly it's a situational ultimate. And I have seen people stand right inside of shifting or standard of might in pvp and take little to no damage at all.

I always thought the ultimate should snare anyone who is inside of it and remove the need for another player to hit the synergy seeing as it's not one of those ultimates you can cast and it stays around you. It requires for you to have your back against the wall or in a small environment. It's pretty bad in a open field unless you're fighting aggresive players who are fighting you inside of it, and if they're then more than likely they have the sustain to withstand the damage.

I would like to see standard of might increase the damage of all allies standing in it.
