Why?I don't even know what to say to newly proposed set even on PTS as someone thought this was a great idea at some recent point...
Obviously the Arkisis set will be changed but jeesh.

Why?
This is not in any way spamming nonstop ultimates. Too much effort for the fun build, which in trial group wont be optimal enough. In pvp, Arkasis feeding will be cancer I guess... but again, how do you know who will get the ulti? Were there any tests? In 4 man group it is easy to show, "ah it works, op", since it is built in that fashion. But once we are talking bigger group, how does that work? Closest allies? Group invitation order? Lowest ulti currently in group?Why?
I was there years ago in Cyrodiil when the game was hacked and a couple of guys were spamming Ultimates nonstop at the Border Forts.
That said, to answer your question, while initially potentially funny for 5 minutes, all Combat balance and reason goes out the window if Ultimates are spammable in the fashion demonstrated in the video. All Dungeons, Trials, and encounters would be made trivial. All rewards meaningless as such.

Too many ifs, demonstration was made on content older than 4 years, that is notoriously famous for obnoxiously large packs of trash.
Tavas (self) ultigen is almost as strong as Arkasis for the group (when you invest in the potion cd enchantments). Without the enchantments, tavas is slightly better.
I simply dont see a big deal in Arkasis, because not any robust tests (that I know of) were performed.
