I am running Dawnbreaker on my mag toons. Is that also imbalanced?

My biggest "complaint" about resto ult and s&b ult is the fact that people drop them while outnumbering me heavily. I'm by myself, I'm getting attacked by 8 people. I meteor a group and try to burst down one or two and OH LOOK resto ults go out and and they are instantly back to full health AND just for good measure taking 30% less damage. That pretty much means I'm not taking anyone with me.
Objectively, it's not fair for me to just expect them to roll over and die for me, but that doesn't stop the ult from being frustrating. You know there is no way they are going to kill you because their damage is so low, but these defensive ultimates just waste so much of my time.
Nope.
Low cost ultimate that is AoE, stuns, procs Implosion, shatters vampires, shatters werewolves, can be timed with allies for inst-nukes, ...
As people pointed out, repeatedly, we need more low-cost ults. It is irrelevant whether that is weapon- or spell-based, ults scale with highest, and last CP update further narrowed the gap.
Got it?

You are certainly missing the point. Dawnbreaker doesn't one-shot you if you play your cards right. Resto ultimate on the other side, heals you full. gets you 30% less dmg for 10 seconds and gives you a damage buff. That's without counting your shielding (or other healing) and your dps
AND: dawnbreaker costs was 100 some time ago. They upgraded it to 120.

Dawnbreaker+DoT certainly kills a vampire without other defenses. Resto ult won't heal you to full when you're taking a lot of damage. 120 ult is higher than resto, but still good. We could use more cheaper ults.

The resto ult can be extremely overpowered situationally. IMO in general it's godmode on magblades and msorcs and just really good for everyone else.
They need to
1) Increase the cost to at least 140, and
2) Not apply Major/Minor Protection to shields (which is completely broken).
S&B ultimate doesn't give you a crit damage buff. Doesn't heal your teammates giving them major protection, doesn't heal you and lasts for 6 seconds.The resto ult can be extremely overpowered situationally. IMO in general it's godmode on magblades and msorcs and just really good for everyone else.

The restostaffult works similar to the 1h+shield ultimate, you shouldnt do pressure, when its active. Just wait until the ultimate effect is away and then you can go with your pressure. This ultimates works very tactical, so you need to play with a counterstrategy.
FOR sure many magicka sorcs and nightblades flame about this ult, because there pressure comes often together in same time this ultimate is up again. When you know this, you shouldnt play with allways same rotation in same time. That is easy to counter with this ultimate. Just make a bit pressure, that your opponent activate this ult. When its over you should go with all your pressure and its much harder to counter it.
PvP isnt like PvE content, where everybody do same rotation everytime and you just need to learn this 1 time.. You can kill people much easier, when you play very tactically. Do lesser pressure you can and go offensive, when your opponent dont calculate with it. This is the key to break against "OP"-ultimates like this. How do you think i can beat much stronger magicka sorcs or nightblades. Without using my brain?

Agreed, you can't keep pressure on a magsorc/magblade while this is up even if you wanted to. As soon as they pop this they go full offensive and you are on your back foot immediately.
The ult mechanic itself is fine IMO, but like I said it does need a cost increase and the Major Protection buff should apply to the player only, not shields.

What's cool is combining maim and protection to get the ultimate shield mitigation (also works additively this way rather than multiplicative muhahaha) so minor maim + minor protection = 23% increase in shield real value (imagine getting major protection or maim involved)
So Riposte + Warden Frost moves can mean a potentially 50.5% increase on an 7-8k shield... Nice

Nope just reduces in coming damage from all sources by about 95%, reflects all projectiles or makes your abilities free with 100% uptime, clearly worse....

IF you want to reflect, you won't have the 100% cost reduction. Get your cards right before writing, people not knowking the ultimate could be misleaded.
Then again, the ultimate costs as the resto. But has less staff and lasts less.

SnB has access to minor heroism, I don't know how'd you get that with resto.
Go look up the builds that have 100% uptime on shield wall.
Also, blocking gives a different source of ult gain than healing.
