Sword and Board.... Weapon Ultimate= Lame

Crom_CCCXVI · September 2016

Seriously, everyone else gets a cool weapon Ultimate and Sword and Board gets a stamina buff? Your kidding right?

In the past year, I really think all ESO cares about is ending fights quicker and quicker. First you brought out a bunch of "nuke sets" like Viscous Death, cranked up siege weapon damage.. then you totally nerfed sheilds,.. and probably a bit more, then you add more one hit kill sets like Vicecannon.

Very few people even want to play a proper tank in PvP. (by proper I mean actually performing the roles of a tank, not just having high resistance while trying to kill people or the guy who stands in the corner and is hard to kill)... yet for the few of us who do, you give us essentially NOTHING to get excited about?

I could think of so many things that would have been at least somewhat appealling. Maybe a mass stun, or returning some damage, or shield charge a group... etc... I can only hope that when you see no one is using the new ultimate you make some adjustments.

It's one of the best new ults, if you can't see it's potential then it's on you

It is literally one of the best weapon ults

Extremely low cost
Able to use skills while it's active

One morph mitigating even more damage
The other allowing you to cast skills with no cost (dune ripper, master sword and the new heal on taunt set, I'm looking at you)

It's gonna be a game changer for people who know how to use it properly.

This. That is all.

S+B Ulti is the best one everyone saying

Go back and look at Destro Ulti and tell us how US magic users got screwed

Sword and board ulti looks great on the PTS. Will be fun to use live if it does not change.

Lol, a stama dk will get invincible with this ultimate. It will give him free offensive, major defence and gives recourses back. I'm totally gonna combine it with the set that gives 1200 HP back on s&b skills, when it costs you nothing you can just regen everything and continue on.

Knight errant is the set you're thinking of, and bingo.

Six seconds of free damage, resource regen, healing, and practical.invincibility. put down the skooma, OP.

The S&B Ultimate is so good right now it should be nerfed.

Question ? If your using this ult and you come up against another person using the same ult do you cancel each other out

That's ok I hit like a noddle anyway

The Stamina Cost removal one is probably the best Ult for DKs

It will save you close to 10k Stamina alone during its duration just from taking the cost of Heroic Slash Off

I agree. I don't like the "DPS walls" in so many dungeons. I think that a sustained, intelligent fight should be a valid approach as well.

I think top players make it this way. A lot of places have interesting mechanics like for example, vDSA last boss. He spawns like 4 hard hitting adds twice making a total of 8 (cant rmb exact number). Everytime ive run it with my guild or friends, they strongly prefer to ignore any mechanics. So what do they get me to do? (im a tank). Taunt adds when they spawn and kite them to the other end of the room while they burn boss. When the next set of 5 adds spawn, i bring the 5 already on me to the new ones, taunt them all, and run like hell to the other end of the room desperately trying to stay alive while they burn boss lol. I must say, this method simplifies the otherwise complicated fight so I can't complain haha.

This is when you run with a templar using Purifying Light. Get them to cast it on some of the adds periodically and you'll get a nice heal to keep you alive while the deal with the DPS being DPS

Vicecannon a oneshot kill set!

LMAO. OP you funny.

Ah that would be nice to have but sadly we almost always do it with a magblade healer lol.

It hits quite hard with the right tank build, the only reason why you wouldn't after you applied DoT is because it's cost is a bit high, but when it's free you can just spam it for extra dps.
