[BUG] Molag Kena proc makes it almost impossible to gain and use your ultimate

I know that after 3 consecutive light attacks in a row the cost of your abilities is increased by 50%, but is this supposed to apply to ultimates as well? I can have my ultimate meter at 100%, ready to use, and when I hit an enemy with 3 consecutive light attacks in a row, I get the Molag Kena aura around me and my ult meter drops down to 66% and I can no longer use my ultimate.

For example, when Molag Kena procs, my Standard Of Might goes from costing 250 ultimate, up to 375 ultimate. And if I use light attacks to try to get up to 375 ultimate, it procs Molag Kena again and raises it even higher.

EDIT: @ZOS_GinaBruno This needs to be passed on to the dev team and looked at please.

    Heh, looks like a bug or an oversight and perhaps will be fixed, or at least capped to just 50% of the original cost...

    Other than this ultimate bug/oversight, the set works great.

    Wait......is Overkill (or whatever the Molag Kena buff is called) not unique? Does it stack on itself??? That can't be intended...

    Also, I agree, ult costs should not be affected by the ability cost increase. That makes ults pretty much unusable.

    Also this set combined with the crit set which increase spell damage will give you 1100-1200 more spell damage. New FOTM will be magicka builds. Proc the spell damage and burst your opponents.
    Because I can!

    There is exactly one other set out there that reduces "all costs" and it works exactly this way, so no surprise here.

    Damn, I was looking forward to some OP zappy zap :smiley:

    I guess it's only fair enough that it increases ultimate costs aswell, though I don't think it should stack with itself (as the OP described, his ult going up from 250 to 375, and after that increasing by another 50%).

    Why wear the set then? If you never intend to use the set bonus because it messes up ultimate usage, the set becomes superfluous.

    On a side note, if it stacks with itself for ultimates, did anyone check whether it also stacks with itself on normal abilities? If yes, that sounds dangerously like the stacking CF proc...

    To proc it when it's advantageous to do so, instead of having it remain permanently? This set was designed with two play styles in mind; insane pvp burst builds and strategic min maxing. It would best synergize with damage over time ultimates such as Banner, Nova, or Veil as you could drop the ultimate and then trigger Overload and have the bonus weapon damage apply to all of your preexisting damage without the cost of it.

    It won't prevent the combination, will it? You'll just have to build more ulti before using ulti.
