Templar Dawn's Wrath not building Ultimate

Fena · August 2015

I've reported to TESO that my vet 2 Templar (xbox) isn't gaining ultimate while using any Dawn's Wrath skill & their less than stellar response was "There are no known issues, try asking about it in the forums"

So here it goes... On my skill bar I have Solar Prison ultimate, Innner Light, Structured Entropy, Breath of Life, Spear Shards, & have swapped between Radiant Druction & Vampires Bane. I'm have all the Dawn's Wrath passives at 2 ranks including Prism which should grant 3 additional Ultimate when activating a Dawn's Wrath ability (6 second cooldown)

Neither DW ability is granting any ultimate. 3 other templars I've talked to online are having the same issue.

Is anyone else noticing this? Are the 4 of us missing something with our varied builds that's causing this to happen?

If it's a bug as we suspect, can we get some extra reports to get action from TESO

THANX

I believe that it only works if you are already generating ultimate from light/heavy attacks or heals. Are you testing that out, as well?

By "it" are you referring to the Dawn's Wrath passive Prism?

As described in the tool tip, it should increase the amount of ultimate I gain when using any Dawn's Wrath ability. Vampires Bane, Radiant Destruction, etc...

My other skills: Spear Shards & Breath of Life as well as, resto staff (right trigger attack) build it. Just not any DW abilities

If Spear Shards is building Ultimate, that is actually a bug. Here is how Ultimate is built now:

Light and Heavy attacks (builds X ultimate over 8 seconds after using one)
Healing someone who is gaining Ultimate from light/heavy attacks (same generation rate as using a light/heavy attack)

Passives that give you X ultimate on skill use (usually only when you are gaining ultimate anyways)
Death of certain enemies (Fighter's Guild skill passive and Death Stroke morph)

General skill usage doesn't just generate ultimate from nowhere. If you are not using light/heavy attacks, or healing someone who is, then you shouldn't gain Ultimate.

Ok I understand what you are saying. What are Vampires Bane & Radiant DestructDestruction considered as? Light attack, heavy attack or something else? I haven't found anything that lays out which attacks are which.

Light attack: tap left mouse button

Heavy attack: hold down left mouse button

Anything else is a skill.

Light attacks are actually swinging/firing your weapon.
Heavy attacks are the same, but when you hold the button down to charge a stronger hit.

Nothing on your skill bar is considered a light/heavy attack.

Thanks guys, when I get online again. I will verify that it's not working after I preform a light or heavy attack. I'm 90% sure it's not (as use both while fighting) but, want to be 100%

Update. I must not have been weaving enough light & heavy attacks into my fighting.

I logged on and did a light attack and waited 8 seconds several times as well as a heavy attack with 8 sec wait & judged the amount of ultimate gained. After getting a good read, I tired both a light attack & heavy attack followed by radiant destruction 6 seconds later & can see it adding to my ultimate above what the light & heavy attacks add.

Thank you Aett_Thorn & driosketch for the advice/help

P.S. Aett_Thorn I mis spoke about spear shards giving me ultimate. I checked that as well & it does not

Still a good idea to test. Pretty sure things like this passive have been broken in the past.
