Sorc ult overload
Anomaly 2
✭✭
I really like this ultimate and ever since it has been buffed it has become quite powerful. I'm just wondering what increases that damage on this to maximize the damage output on it? If I were to use it I would want it to be as efficient as possible.

Tamanous✭✭✭✭✭The attacks completely replace what ever weapon you are wearing. The damage scales off of magicka and not stamina. I have no idea of crit as have never seen it crit. Sadly this likely means that resto staff is the best if indeed you gain the bonus damage from it's passive. Haven't tested that though.
I only use the damage from Overload when I need damage when magicka and stamina are low. Otherwise I use it only as a 3rd skill bar to hold my buffs and whatnot. I use 2h + resto staff.Edited by Tamanous on August 2, 2014 8:01PM0 -

Interesting, thank you for your response! I'll have to play around with it a bit using a damage meter but this was helpful to get me started

Ugh, I'd hope to make an arcane archer type because of this. Bleh that's something I'll pass on.
Maybe I'll make it as a Templar.0 -

Overload scales from spell damage / magicka and uses spell crit.
There was talk about Ultimates scaling from weapon damage as well in Update 3, but I saw no mention of it in the patch notes. Haven't tested Ults w/ my stamina users yet to confirm, unfortunately.0 -
Tamanous✭✭✭✭✭I haven't yet tested to see if it scales off highest stat since patch. Someone should do this (I have to leave on vacation). Remember though that it still replaces the weapon you have (although you still technically are using it and can still cast your weapon skills. This reverts the bar back to the weapon bar though. Only weapon skills do this afaik).
I have no idea if passives outside the skill tree for Overload affect the light and heavy attacks.0 -
Comaetilico✭✭✭even if it is not in the notes (and I cant' understand why since it is something quite important and that will make happy lot of stam lover ^^' that always cry for more balance betwwen magika and stam builds...) it actualy worsk as stated above...
ultimate now elect the better stat between magika and stamina... also it seem they elect the best between spell power and weapon damage... but I'm not sure everyone of them are working fine right now.. for example I've found a couple that doesn't seem to switch to weapon damage no matter the value... and there is also the siphoning ultimate of NB that seem to scale out of ALL of them (magika, stamina, spellpower and weapon damage... resulting in abnormal high values... especialy for build that stuck up both spellpower and weapon damage...)..
the idea is pretty good... but it seem like it still need to be refined ^^1 -

Sindala✭✭✭✭✭Still too bugged for me to use it happily.
Either lasts 5+ mins which im happy at...
or lasts 1 shot then vanishes which im not happy at....
or just vanishes and don't return my normal weapons leaving me unable to hit the mob that's wailing down on me.Being First is not the prize, it just mean's everyone can stab you in the back.0 -

Is this because you didn't have enough ultimate? I only use it when stam and magicka are low and this is usually when I am maxed on ultimate. I've never seen it bug out as you describe. Once too low it simply vanishes. It does rather extreme damage I must say. I doubt any other ultimate has so much potential damage. It is like slinging crystal shards at people with no cast time but no knockdown. I still use it primarily for a 3rd skill bar though so this means I must have ultimate stored up.Edited by Tamanous on August 13, 2014 8:19PM0 -

Resto staff bonus gets nullified for some reason. One moment I'm happily rocking out my spells with resto staff, then Overload, BAM bye bye extra damage.
