Which Weapon Ultimate do you predict will be the most OP?

Does it really even matter? It's hard to imagine that anything will be better than Flawless Dawnbreaker for melee and bow. Whereas there's tons of others that are situationally useful for magicka builds, but Meteor is still the go-to not least due to the passive.

Resto, just wait and see. Would only make sense

You're probably right to be honest. The resto staff will probably have the most powerful healing ultimate in the game.

Um...yay!?

Whatever it is, it'll be a Stam weapon ult.

I mean, they've got to outdo dawnbreaker or nobody will bother using it.

One of the Ults should be a different type of Negate, that only locks out Stamina abilities.

One of the Ults should counter Meteor, reflecting or absorbing the damage, or even causing it to heal you instead.

Adding new Weapon Ults presents a unique opportunity actually add new mechanics to the game, not simply more ways to do burst damage (we already have Ults for that)

Agreed. Would love to see new dynamic ways to fight. Maybe something for hybrids

Well I for one wasn't baiting or being non-constructive when I said the poll is biased, because it is. This poll is basically implying the Ultimates will have imbalance which in and of itself is actually baiting since the poll offers no option to say "none of them".

In short this thread is actually baiting.

For the ult it will be the old fire ring from PC launch where it would take three quarters of your health

Looking at the two handed skills leads me to believe ZOS is in love with 2 hand, so I predict it will have a ridiculous ultimate.

I can tell you that the most powerful ULTIMATE will certainly be for a STA based weapon.

If I had to guess each ultimate.

1H+Shield - Slam shield into ground and knock enemies within an 8m radius up into the air, similar to Volcanic Rune.

As someone that only plays a pure tank spec'd DK, I sincerely hope it isn't this lame for 1H+Shield.

Id like to see the Master weapons themed and re-worked to be based around weapon ultimate abilities instead.

ZOS hasn't really shown much love for 1h+shield, so of course my expectations for the ultimate are low.

I just hope they can attempt to balance Pvp with these changes. I ranked them in the order below

Resto staff
Destro Staff
Bows
Dual Wied
Sword and Board
2handers

Give us some group utility thinks like a damage shield with a resto staff that reflects back dmg to attackers like repentance but no healing effect just reflects all dmg by 50% to attackers that would be super useful in Pvp as a healer.

2handers give them crit dmg bonus to a group

Sword and board redirect all dmg in area to player at a reduced 30% rate for 15 seconds but you can only do this while blocking breaks ult if you attack

Dual wield grants major expedition unbeakable for 20 seconds with minor butaility group buff

Destro staff summon a pet or gives you a chance to double cast spells 2% maybe for 10 to group

Just spit balling ideas but we need diversification in Pvp not a cookie cutter oh it's a Stam patch everyone roll Stam source with flawless dawn breakers and Kena with alch or when mag NB bomb builds were popular.

They have a real opportunity to help the Pvp community with weapon ult said I just hope they choose the right road and balance it

Vangy · August 2016

2H:

150 ultimate;

Uppercut and its morphs now hits every target in front of you (25m) for the next 15 seconds. This ability also gains 15% damage on every successful cast (stackable up to 2 times) and now has no cast time during the duration of this ultimate.

=X

There now 2h will have its one weakness (lack of aoe's) fixed. ALL HAIL THE 2H. WORSHIP IT.

Yes I totally agree they need to diversify ulterior and have new mechanics for new builds and strategy

I´m just hoping they will follow destro staves general theme and give different flavoured ultimates for the element used.

They probably will, but......... I get the feeling flame will have the most oomph behind it given the current track record of flame staff.

This is of course WILD Speculation, but I don't think new moves are being made.

Too expensive. Besides, Crown Crates.

What the Ultimate will be is all five active skills firing one after the other, in about 7 seconds (give or take a .3 nanoseconds, it's hard to be completely accurate with no real data; any deficiency in this exaggerated hypothesis is entirely the fault of my imaginary High School Trigonometry teacher).

So, where was I? Oh, here? Very good.

So yeah, 2-handers. Duh.

Healing is always the first to surpass other abilities in this game . I'll bet 2 Sweetrolls there's a healing bomb ultimate that makes everyone's eyebrows drop .

Not likely. That would *** off Fengrush and the other PvP streamers if it gets in the way of their quick kills.

What does fengrush have to do with the wep ultimates?

RebornV3x · August 2016

knowing the current meta duel wield, 2 handed and bow will probably be OP with 1h/s being Ok resto staff will either be garbage or Ok I doubt they'll give a Repentance like ultimate to everyone the Destruction Staff ultimate will probably be the weakest or most useless since ZOS hate everything magicka.

A bizarrely pointless thread, but my suspicions:

Resto will probably be a heal, and will probably be useless compared to other ult options available to healers. If they make it related to helping resource management for the team, it could be good.

1H&Shield is probably some cute effect INTENDED to be used by tanks (AOE taunt, debuff, idk), but will probably just not bring as much to the group as warhorn (or other class-specific ults)

Beyond that, I hope 2H ult is weak. But it will probably be Dawnbreaker 2.0 or something.

I have a feeling 2h will be lackluster and Dual Wield will knock everyone's socks off.

Bow won't be OP, but everyone will complain that it is and it'll get nerfed anyway.

ZoS is predictable because of players' speculations? Huh?
