This skill is SO easy to counter(s&b Reflect skill for non-DK classes works magic; also dodging - one roll dodge makes like 3 Overload attacks miss in my experience) its biggest use in PvP literally is that 3rd bar, in my experience. And right now I don't even have that>.<

You know what else is easy to counter and does the same amount of damage or less? Meteor

What I want to know is what in the patch affected Overload in the first place? The only thing I can maybe see is if it was a Dual Wield issue.

Theres a difference between what wheeler said and what the patch notes said

Here is a crappy work around. If you spam weapon switch and hit your Ult button you can get it to activate. Not the best solution but it is something.

Too big of a chance you'll just activate your off bar ult IMO. Unless the solution is to keep it on both bars? lMAO

One costs 200 the other costs 33
for one cast that does more damage than the initial hit of the other.

Your argument saying it's easily countered doesn't mean anything, it's still stronger than a 200 costing ultimate and it needs to be changed accordingly

It's an ultimate... it's supposed to do a lot of damage.

Hm, once again templars are broken.

What does that have to do with overload?

Nothing, but templar ultimates going against this statement that

Well, I'd agree with you if sorcs had another class spammable attack, which they don't atm. Give me a spammable skill on par with all other classes spammable attacks, and I'd be happy with overload gone.

I always marvel at ZOS's ability to break a completely unrelated portion of the game when applying a patch.

I am so glad I didn't have a mouth full of tea when you posted that.

Well since my scor is currently set up to do Maelstrom Area it just happens to be on both bars. But you're right I didn't think about that.

Where are you getting 33 from? Snipe does as much damage as overload and it's not even an ult.

When did this turn into an overload debate. The issue here is that it's not working. If you want to discuss whether it's too strong start a new thread. This isn't the place for it.

Really? Do you think about your questions before posting? Not being mean, I just legitimately wonder.

I do, yes

I don't know how they work and wanted to know so I asked. I'd hoped it would prevent people assuming they throw patches at the game before checking them and lynch the Devs. Also, I have a health condition which makes things hard to phrase sometimes. I never, ever mean to be rude or argumentative. It could be a brain tumour apparently - but hopefully it's something less serious. Probably weird headaches. My neurologist is investigating

I don't want people assuming I'm horrible or anything. I really do support the game and it's staff

It wasn't his/her argument actually, it was mine=P
Meteor cannot be dodged now though and it has AoE and CC going for it.
That aside, Overload does need some tweaking probably(also some bug fixing, it literally gets stuck in a heavy 1/4 of the time for me) but it definitely doesn't need being removed from the game entirely. Especially while it's my main single target damage source as magicka sorc dps.

My bad 64 my tooltip says, I knew you'd make a comment on it though, either way it's probably the strongest ultimate in game for being as cheap as it is.

I take it you don't know why Snipe is strong, it's actually Focused Aim which is the strong one because you can't mitigate Physical Damage - which is being added in.
Not sure if you can mitigate the other morph with Hardy

"Good job ZOS", seriously, how old are we? 12?

Pretty sure it will get fixed before tomorrow IF this is something everyone experiences.

Basically it seems lately that there are more and more broken mechanics/bugs added than there are ones that are fixed. I'm sure OP meant a little sass, but honestly this is reoccurring happening and it does get frustrating.

- We had numerous reports of overload getting stuck in heavy attack so we turned it off altogether, please stay tuned for more sorcerer changes like the one we have planned for next incremental that turns all sorcerers into trees.

Fine, I guess I will work on VMA with my NB this week

. Seriously though, the tone of the OP is uncalled for. These forums sometimes sound like the whining of a bunch of 5 year olds. Thanks @ZOS_GinaBruno for the quick response.

Good life lesson: If you feel the need to lash out and complain about something in writing, draft it and sit on it for 24 hours. You will be surprised how much better things tend to work out.

maboleth · January 2016

One thing I know - what's ruining the immersion of ESO for me isn't Zenimax or bugs. It's those whiners on this forum that keep whining, mocking and moaning and playing this game in Tamriel with me. Fortunately, the spoiled brats are vocal minority.

ZOS has worked hard over the past two years to get salty reactions by people trying to enjoy their game while they´re doing their best to deny that.

Also if it's immersion you want, maybe being on the website isn't the best idea
