Sorcerer Skill Bugs? (Unstable Clannfear, Overload)

Curtischoy · July 2015

Hello,

I recently got a sorc to 15 and have noticed a few things.

One is that the Clannfear summon will sometimes disapear when zoning into another area. I thought he was supposed to come with you? Now it's almost every time I enter a new area (wayshrine or not) I have to re-summon. For instance, I was in the north part of Auridon finishing up the portion of the quest with Queen Ayreen that takes place in Auridon and when closing the portals every time I zoned in or out of one I would have to resummon. Is it just that you are not able to sumon Daedra in Oblivion?

The other is the ultimate ability in the Storm Calling tree, Overload (not yet morphed). I seem to have infinite lightning bolts with this ability. I can turn it on at the beginning of a dungeon and have it on the entire time without running out of ultimate. Once I leave, I can turn it right back on again as even after clearing the dungeon I am still at full ultimate. I have no abilities or gear or anything that affects my ultimate, simply the ability. While it is nice (and damn fun) to walk around shooting Force Lightning out of my hands it is pretty silly that I can have my ultimate on through 100% of a dungeon. Only sometimes do I notice that it will actually affect my current ultimate and tick it down, the other times my ultimate stays full the entire time I am using it.

Has anyone else noticed these things? Is there already a thread (or 100 threads) with this that I missed?
Thanks for any info.

The Pets do tend to disappear when entering a dungeon or delve. Same with porting and wayshrines. However, they will not disappear when you go into say, the Bank.

So, just recall them when go into a dungeon, there are almost never any mobs in the first 30 meters or so of a delve or dungeon.

As for Overload, you can build your Ultimate Pool up to 1000, so it can take a while to use up the pool with just light attacks. But it should go down as you use it.

Your overload builds up as you go. If you don't use it for a while, it will build up and you are able to use it longer. I use an add on called FTC, which shows the percentage of ultimate I have. Sometime it will show that I have 350% ultimate stored. Every lightning bolt I use from overload will lower this percentage. Once it gets to 0, I will not be able to use it anymore.

Too bad on Xbox there are no addons, also no way to see your total ultimate. There is only the perimeter of the ultimate button at the bottom of the UI. Well if this is working as intended it is crazy powerful.

Ahh sorry to hear. My usual strategy for PvE is to try not to use my ult until the last boss, and then unload all of my overload bar on him. Crazy deeps

Yeah that was what I was doing at first. But then I realized that I could use my ultimate form the beginning and still unload on the boss, and STILL not run out. That's why I thought it was a bug. I use a mix of heavy and light attacks throughout. Single targets I use light and groups I use heavy.

AS others have stated it takes long time to drain Overload, but there are actually a few major bugs i've encountered as well. The main one iis sometimes when switching to the SC bar it will wipe my 3rd loadout and copy the loadout from the original bar overwriting the specific SC loadout. MY friends also ran into something similar to an infinite overload bug though in the one dungeon, can't remember name, where the final boss turns you into a skeleton and takes away your skills. my Sorc friiend was transformed while in Overload form and the SC attacks still worked and as far as we could tell were not draining SC at all.
