WW Transformation is broke./?

Hello. I am wondering if anyone else is having a similar issue.
WW transform takes a lot of ultimate to cast. It's meant to be dramatic. It's meant to inspire fear. In fact the tooltip states this,
"Your transformation also causes nearby enemies to run in fear."
This statement seems to imply that youre WW ult is meant to be cast in combat and even near enemies.
YET, If I use my ult and get hit by ANY attack during the transformation animation, not only is my ult cancelled, but the ultimate cost is not refunded.
ZOS, is this working as intended? Or is this a bug?
Fellow WW brethren, have you experienced this before or am I doing something wrong?

✭✭✭Yep, welcome to the party. In all honesty this is a bug that has been around for a while, I just got used to casting away from combat, for how counter-intuitive that is.0 -

Ah! At least I'm not the only one. I mean, I've seen videos of people like @Lefty_Lucy transforming while in close combat with other players/nps without the ult getting cancelled. But for some reason, it seems that every time I try it bugs out.
What gives? Has there been any acknowledgement for ZOS or any plans for a fix that I don't know about?

Off the top of my head I don't recall, but it seems more like mad luck if the transformation works or not, down to the whim of the server.0 -
Lefty_Lucy✭✭✭✭I've had the most success in avoiding the transformation bug by doing these two things:
1 - Make sure to only press the ultimate button once
Sometimes I get antsy and press the button twice and this causes a transform + de-transform immediately.
2 - Don't press ANY BUTTON immediately after pressing the ultimate button
Sometimes it seems like if I press any button at all, including WASD, the transformation fails.

Yes,that's why I feel the fear is useless and keep a distance when using it.0 -

because these guys got used to it, it takes a while for you to adapt.0 -
Zachy_B✭✭✭It honestly sounds like you're hitting your ultimate more than once dude. Because I thought the same thing because coincidentally every time I'd get hit in the middle of transforming it would cancel but it turns out I was mashing the ultimate. So I did an experiment a couple times and I'd do it while getting hit and I'd transform no problem. So try just making sure to use it only once.0 -

Thanks for the tips guys, I'll try staying cool and only pressing it once! Hope I get this figure out.
