    Ummm...They always knew ultimates. Some mobs with negate/standard before. I presume that because new ultimates is added that they are readily available to the mobs as well.

    No, but they have the old version of eclipse which can reflect ultimates. In general you'll quite often see npcs that still use original versions of skills even after they got nerfed for players.

    So how does one reflect a skill I dont even have unlocked, never mind using ?

    Well, I haven't tried it with that ulti, but I know that you can take damage if an ally next to you get's his meteor reflected. So it's possible that the same happens here.

    Exactly what has happened here, the aoe component of this skill someone near him casted on the npc has killed him, the original casters recap would have looked alot worse tbh, I have seen 150k reflects from thrive in chaos on the caster. This is pretty serious bug and has been reported since weapon ultimates went on to the pts but zos has ignored.

    The thing is, I was there myself and only 1 dead DC and I was about to burn the siege when I dropped dead

    A 44k hit - LOL

    That would have killed me 2.3 times - He would have killed me, Teabagged me, and then taken 2 of my soul gems just for good measure...

    If it was A hit then that's clearly not intended. Thrive in Chaos is a DoT after all, and when a DoT is responsible at least in SOME part for your death the total damage taken from it is displayed on the recap.

    P.S. I've seen Standard of Might, Dragon Leap, Negate Magic, Rite of Passage, and Soul Shred used by NPCs before.

    Thank God. That makes much more sense.

    This was posted from a thread back in September, not sure exactly what the bug is regarding how you took the splash damage when nobody else was around (almost like the npc stores damage then the next target that gets a reflect put on cops it) but it has been reported to wipe entire groups. @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom this should be passed along to the devs as it's a pretty mean bug.

    Did you try spending magika to activate abilities though?

    Khajiit was doing a main line quest in Stormhold on a low character and the NPC's were using warhorn. This one heard it and was like "Some walker used the wrong ultimate" but then the health bars of the NPC's grew.

    Still, provided that they do not get better versions of the ultimates than this one can use then humble Khajiit does not mind this.

    Sadly, there are lots of NPC Dragonknights whose abilities are still pre-1.6. See, for example, the three DK mini-bosses in White-Gold Tower or several rounds of Dragonstar Arena.

    "My DK Standard was nerfed, why wasn't theirs?" is a common expression I hear from other players in these areas ;).
