Pummeling Goliath Morph

Just a friendly reminder necromancer goliath morph "pummeling Goliath ULTIMATE" is still garbage and needs to be reworked! it is an ultimate and at this point shouldn't just sit on the shelf either change the entire morph or figure something out.

    Daily reminder that the Magicka Morph of blastbones still literally is bugged and does nothing.

    It needs to be changed since the skeleton does not run.

    That ultimate is OP when it comes to blocking the tanks view, so the tank can't see the boss to block/interupt/dodge their special attack.

    Just no reason to use it over Ravenous Goliath. Pummeling morph should probably be reworked into something else imo.

    You're probably thinking of the colossus. The goliath is the necro transformation ulti.

    Minutely reminder that penetrating magic from destruction staff still only works with destruction staff abilities while maul's and maces add penetration to all physical damage.

    Really? Isn't that the ultimate that completely dominated PvP when it released? What happened?

    I noticed this and thought I was either lagging severely or just crazy. He doesn't run at all, he just leaps an absurd distance to hit your target

    The same thing that happens to every ability they adjust when they think it's even slightly too strong, they nerf them so much they become unusable.

    crusade? not at all! this skill is an ultimate and doesn't make any sense for it to just be shelved and forcing players into using the other morph, because they can't seem to come up with an idea on how to either adjust it change it entirely. at this point they should just change it and allow for it summon lich crystals that do physical damage kind of like the nerienth set, they have all these blue prints they can use from NPC's they have created but instead they rather it just sit here and continue for it to be usesless.

    I Agree no skill/ultimate especially on a class should just continue to sit around for patches unchecked.

    exactly my point it just needs to be gutted and reworked into something else. i love Avid boneyard but also hate that is is only catered towards magicka user's kind of like how majority of some skills are for different classes, i have played this game since launch and i continue to see them just resting on certain skills etc, while some get reverted back to it's original state.

    It was OVERLY tuned, and they KNEW that it was a selling point for necromancer, and afterwards they nerfed it because of the complaints, and they nerfed it so bad that the ultimate is "useless"

    It will also jump up into the tree vs Longclaw in Selene’s web and hit the boss before he jumps down. It’s the most hilarious BB mechanic I have seen to date!

    ah so that means the morph should just be completely useless and not useable at all?

    What are we playing an MMO for if weak, over-nerfed stuff can't be updated or changed?

    Kinda defeats the purpose of constant balance/updates to existing classes.

    Pummeling Goliath is in the same boat as Perfect Scion. Why use it when the superior option is there for you to pick?

    Crazy how these useless morphs are allowed to exist for so long when almost all ults in the game have a very good use for both morphs.

    That's not the game I'm playing. So many useless ults ... and it seems there are more and more each year. With the changes to Minor/Major buffs, Consuming Darkness and Nova are a joke, Rite of Passage always has been. Radial Sweep has seen ups and downs, I'm not sure where it stands atm. And there are several morphs that are just not used because of superior alternatives, like Summon Charged Atronach and Shifting Standard.
    And those are just the class ultimates. Have you ever seen anyone use the DW ultimate, for instance? Or Sturdy Horn?

    Sadly, Perfect Scion and Pummeling Goliath seem in pretty good company ...

    we dont need constant balance and whatever. lets fix the core issues of the game before we begin crying about unpopular morphs. we need a stable working server, with good preformance. Cyrodiil is a lagfest and it has been for the entire last year.

    If we had waited for the "core issues" to be fixed, nothing would have happened balance-wise in the last 6 years, though.

    You do realize multiple jobs exist for a reason, right? The guy doing the balancing and ability changes isn't the same job as the people working on balance.

    Kinda selfish of you to want to put these people out of a job.

    Honestly, didn't know so many useless morphs for ultimates existed.

    You'd think that the one skill in the game they'd make sure has two useful morphs would be ults.

    Considering they are quite big and important.

    Here's to hoping they change them eventually.
