Ideas for racial ultimate?

Here's an idea since I enjoy playing the Nord. What if we could create our own dragon born character and have a Thuum ultimate for our Nord hero's? Obviously the rest of Tamriel's races will need an ultimate too. Any ideas?

    Nord =/= Dragonborn. Racial active abilities would be cool tho. Nords have "battle cry" in Skyrim, khajiits have MMO-useless "night eye". I'm for the idea in general but balancing can be tricky.

    Nords ultimate is he goes home and beats his wife. The goat later dies.

    I personally don't think racial ultimate will be a thing, it would be a balancing nightmare.

    High elves could have an ulti called Disdain. Their moral superiority and contempt for other races causes a 15 meter AoE of 5k damage per second while inside the sphere of contempt. ;)

    Altmers radiate intense racism that make every non Altmer enemy stunned by that bs for 5 seconds.

    Dunmers summon ancestral spirits that enslave any non Dunmer for 2 eras.

    Bosmers transform into wild hunt beast and are unable to use bow ever again.

    Orsimers send their target to fetch some cultural heritage from Wrothgar for 3 months.

    Bretons use AOE boredom and whine how the toilet paper is too rough for their royal bottoms.

    Redguards summon Tu'whacca and make their victim listen to his bs for 25 y irl.

    Saxhleels erect all kinds of spines. All kinds.

    Khajiits rob you blind and all your spriggan daggers are now decisive.

    Nords use mead keg attack and pass out for 24h.

    Imperials turn into Bretons for no apparent reason.

    Just to clarify, The Thuum is a Nord thing. The only two I've heard of being non Nordic Thuum speakers are Emporer Tiber septim (Talos) and the Dovahkin if the player didn't choose a Nord character. Tiber Septim was taught the way of the voice by King Wulfarth (a Nord) and Dovakin by the greybeards (nords). The only reason any of the Nords know it is because Paarthurnax teaches the grey beards atop high wrothgar. So there's my logic behind making the Thuum a Nord ultimate hah.

    Although I'm loving these, we got anymore serious ones? I like the idea of ancestral ghost for Dunmer, maybe Akatosh's blessing for imperials. If the Nord was given a Thuum though which one? Id like the push shout that maybe throws everyone to the ground and stuns them.

    If we are talking serious, then Warcry is what Nords need. Few seconds of fear on enemies + reduced damage you take by any enemy for the same duration.

    Khajiit's yarn ball. Spawn a giant ball of yarn that pulls all aggro from enemies to the ball for 12 seconds.

    Morph 1: endless yarn- now scales off stamina, moves around the player absorbing all mellee damage for 10 seconds

    Morph 2: curious yarn- scales off magicka, distracts enemies by placating them casting decreasing intellect (reduce spell damage) while absorbing all magicka projectiles for 10 seconds...

    Howay Enslaved mate help me out! We've already got the Thuum down for the Nord hah. I'm sure there's plenty of other cool stuff we could use for par with the other races.

    Well I am not that good with any other race, since I play as Nord from the beginning of time and space. I liked Orsimer berserk in Skyrim, but it would be op af to use such a skill in ESO. Redguards might have some frenzy discipline or something, that would increase attack speed of all their melee weapon abilities or something, Bosmers could summon feral spirits of wild hunt, but as someone already stated, there is no way Zos would ever balance these racial ultimates, so we would have a flood of Orsimer, for example, if an ulti like berserk was in Skyrim would be re introduced. Hardly any race could be on even ground with such a dps burst and that would make our PvP even more miserable.

    We are already kinda pigeon holed into certain races due to passives, because it is simply better to pick Redguard, Khajiit, Imperial or Bosmer for any stamina dps, and no matter how much we would like to be able to play the game our way, the struggle is real. I play as Nord, and it is far from good pick for dps. Yes, there are ppl out there that could play as Bosmer magplars and still be able to do any content of the ESO, but for all others that simply do not have 10+ h/day picking a propper race actually matters. And with disbalance that racial passives would introduce, some nations would go "extinct" in ESO.

    So, as much as I would love to see racial ultimates, it might be better if we never get those.

    I'd agree if I didnt see how well they implemented the Weapon Ultimates, they are done pretty well (except some should do more/something else...yes, looking at you, Mr Destro Staff)

    and come to think on it....

    perhaps starting this up on a less drastic scale could be adding a Racial active ability.

    Nice! X2 Awesomes for you Hrothbern. I like that idea too. Everyone seems to like the new weapon ultimates but I think the more the merrier. Adds to the diversity of the game which is what we all love about ESO.
