What does the % number in our ultimate ability box mean?

    And how do I post a picture without the link? Like I want to post the image, not link.

    It simply means how close to being full your ulti is:) For example if you have an ultimate that costs 200 and you have 100 ultimate stored, it'll say 50%. At 200 it'll say 100% and while you can store ultimate up to 500, using an ultimate will consume all the ultimate points you have(with exception of Overload) so it'll never go above 100%.

    Edit: you can turn it off in settings I think.

    And why does the number above our ultimate ability go up to 500? I was doing some test on a target dummy and my dawnbreaker did the same damage at 120 ult as it did at 500 ult.

    You are wrong. Dawnbreaker takes 120 ult. In game now I am above it at 183 ult and that percentage in the box is at 36% so I dont know where you came up with that.

    I am guessing 183 ult is 36% out of 500 ult. Just a guess. But why would someone want to build up their alt to 500 when dawnbreaker does the same amount of damage at 120? I don't know.

    It shows the % of ultipoints you have based on the coast of the slottet ulti.

    Example
    When your ultiskill coasts 120 and you have 60 points ready it shows 50%.
    Ultimates are spezial and powerfull skills that need to be filled up befor you can use that by making light/heavy attacks or healing players how are in fight.
    PVP Saint-Bud magicka Templar: AR 49
    PVE Lord Victarion mDK : dro'm-Athra-Destroyer pre Morrowind retired for crafting
    PVE Ramsay-Bolton magicka NB: Voice of Reason Clockwork City Patch retired
    VAA hm/ VHRC hm/ VSO hm/ VMOL hm/ VHOF hm/ VAS hm clear

    Stop playing PVE because its boring, content not disigned for melee players and class balance and sustain is ***

    Overload doesn't consume all stored ultimate at once. You can shoot of some LA overloads and stop, so you can toggle it once again after a short while to e.g. switch to the third bar.

    I answered that in my previous post already. Only ultimate for which it makes sense to store about its cost is Overload because it's a toggle.

    It'd appear your percentage is wrong then. Reloadui, might help, they get stuck sometimes ;) Mine is correct. Alternatively, it could be from an addon that would be tracking % of 500 ultimate points but that'd be a bit odd. I'm pretty sure this is not part of base game interface.

    Edit: Not to sound like a jerk, but maybe when people are trying to help you by answering your question and their answer(that of several people, too) doesn't coincide with your experience, it'd make sense to assume you're somehow getting different results from them, not that they're talking out of their a**. What addon are you using that's giving you these magical numbers?

    Its been like this since forever. Dont know what addon I have that could be causing this. I have sorc helper addon but its disabled for my templar. I don't know.

    If you disable all of your addons(or at least all the combat/interface related ones) you should just be seeing an empty ultimate bar without any %(and without any numbers unless you enable ESO base game interface one which doesn't feature %). Try turning them on one by one and seeing which one it is that's tracking your ultimate. Personally I'm using ftc which tracks ulti for me and doesn't have any further settings that'd let it track full 500 ulti rather than the one I have on bar, so I have no idea about this.

    Ok I was using Azurah. And had show relative percentage off in the ultimate box. I got it fixed now. Thanks for pointing out it was an addon. Last question. Is there a way to track ultimate % without using an addon?

    Nope. There's a base game setting they added that shows ultimate number there but that's all it does, like it'll say 94, but not 94/240 or 40%.

    If you watch the bar itself though it has a visual cue. It's empty(dark) at 0%, then it starts filling(getting lighter, from the bottom up) until it gets all pretty and shiny at 100%. It's not exactly % but you'll be able to see if you have roughly 1/4 or already almost 9/10 ulti full.

    Does the box not fill up when you hit your ulti goal, or make a noise. If you know how much it takes to use it, then watch the number go up, and use it when you hit the right number. It's not a difficult thing to watch a number grow. Not sure if it's an add-on I'm using, but mine makes a sound when I hit the minimum number.
