No other move can stack 1,000 ultimate if you're using it at 75 ultimate then once its gone its not OP but allowing Sorcerers to bank up to 1,000 ultimate to unleash whenever they feel is OP. Once activated it should stay on for the length of Ultimate but then taken away when you deactivate it. People just charge their ultimate on grindable mobs then jump in PvP encase and overload. Scrub tactics that work a dream as I've found out myself. This move is the main reason Sorcs will never get as much respect as any other class as DD. If you know how to activate ultimate and use hardened ward you can hold your own for a decent amount of time no other class can bank ultimate and unload such power when they want like this. Yes meteor is not reflectable but you can easily block it. Try block overload then you'll find yourself encased and melted. I love it might I add but I hate it when I'm on my templar.

But unlike Meteor, Overload is very much dodgeable and reflectable.

I didn't vote because honestly, right now Overload is SO broken it's hard to even say. I get stuck in unintended heavies at least 2-3 times a (short) boss fight. 4/5 times that happens lately I don't even see heavy animation, it just looks as though I'm not attacking but if I look closer, my ulti is rapidly depleting and addons tell me I'm in fact heavy attacking(which I need to bash to get out of). Every once in a while it just stops working. Not stuck in heavy, not lag, it simply won't attack no matter how many times you click left mouse button. Bash doesn't fix it, dodgeroll doesn't fix it. I think turning Overload off and back on fixes it but not sure. Seems to go away eventually on its own but sometimes it's crucial for me as a sorc to have that high dps+mag return+possible Surge heal right that moment and I can't get it(like in vet Maelstrom or when things get a bit hectic on certain bosses)...and then I die. It's one thing sorcs have to rely upon yet cannot rely on because there's no telling when it'll bug out next.

They really need to do something with it...make it more responsive, less clunky, less buggy, perhaps also do less damage but be weave-able or something. Not sure, in its current form it just makes me want to beat head against keyboard as it becomes worse and worse every patch and you can't even complain about it because everyone's like "look, another sorc complaining about her OP ez mode" >.<

Bugs aside, Overload is both our saving grace and evidently the reason why ZOS thinks we're fine without a non-ulti spammabke dps skill and all that good kind of stuff. Great burst, highly meh sustained dps, having to miss out on happily Meteor-ing stuff every time you get 170 ulti because must save for Overload...it does have some really cool things going for it, like I absolutely dig the third bar and magicka return, but the damage part and relying on it in PvE(and it being as buggy as it is)...meh.
