Scribed Undaunted ultimate

Dubhliam

This skill tree has been missing an ultimate since... well always.
Scribing is a perfect opportunity to give players some more theorycrafting options for some of the staple Buffs and debuffs along with potentially giving more love to some less used buffs and debuffs.

First of all, there should be two new Affix Scripts:
Slayer and Aegis.

In the case of this ultimate, we are of course talking about Major versions of buffs/debuffs.

Other potential Affix candidates for this ulti:
Buffs:
- Force
- Berserk
- Protection
- Toughness (never seen)
Debuffs:
- Enervation (never seen)
- Maim
- Vulnerability
- Mangle (never seen)
- Brittle (1 monster set)
- Uncertainty (never seen)

As you can see from the suggested list above, this also gives PvPers more room for theorycrafting.

The next thing this Ulti could tackle are the class identity issues most players are experiencing nowadays.
By giving players the opportunity to "play the way you want" what they actually got was the same skill lines/skills across all players of the same role. The build diversity in endgame community has really shrunk to the point of total blandness.

One way to try to combat that is to give scribed skills (or ulti in this case) some meaningful Class Signature bonus.

Don't get too hung up on the actual suggested Affix bonuses.
Those are flexible and a thing for the combat dev team to balance.

Is this something that would interest you?

Yeah, it would be cool to have a scribed Undaunted Ultimate. I'd like to have more Scribing skills to play around with in general, and I think it'd make sense to add one to the Undaunted skill line.

Since all of the Undaunted abilities have a Synergy, I think it would be fitting if one would be added to its Scribing skill as well in some way. Maybe it could be added to the base skill, or maybe ZOS could introduce a new Signature Script alongside it that adds Synergies to certain skills or something.

yes an Undaunted ultimate skill would be awesome

This is actually a great observation.
Most definitely a Synergy would have to be part of it in one way or another.

I've always thought that an Undaunted Scribing skill would grant the Affix Script buff to your allies via a synergy.


Regardless, we don't actually need Scribing to fill the hole in the Undaunted skill line. While I would like to see a Grimoire for the Undaunted skill line, I actually think a regular Ultimate ability should be added instead of a Scribing Ultimate ability.

It would be nice to see more Undaunted skills. That said, I disagree with making major slayer an affix script as that would either be useless (worse than wm/ma) or make wm/ma dead… then we’d all have to change ults and delete our wm/ma set for no good reason. Same with major berserk (atronach ). Unless it only applied to the person who cast the ult then I guess I could see some use in solo stuff.

Could be controversial, but I would put minor slayer/aegis instead of major, ideally with condition of "while slotted on either bar". It would free so many non-trial set combinations that their drawback is a lack of minor slayer bonus.

I got news for you.
There are no scripts of any kind that are limited to just one skill.

Meaning that Slayer Affix script could be used in any or even all scribed skills.
Ofc, only the Ulti would be the Major version
