Which sorc ultimate do you use?

As a magsorc in pve the only magsorc ultimate I use is overload and that's just for the spell damage slot passive. The destruction ultimate is my main ultimate.
What do you use on your magsorc?

✭✭✭✭AtronachI use both overload and atro now. Can't go wrong with a third bar and the atro is awesome feeling to call down and 25% more DPS for the other dps for 8 seconds is nothing to sneeze at.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Other. I don't use a sorc ultimateThe primary thing I look for from an ultimate is 100% uptime passives.
My pet magsorc already has the daedric summoning passive from her pets so she double slots the Mages Guild ultimate - that one is not a bad ultimate but the reason she slots it is for the passives of having a MG skill slotted.
My bow/bow stamsorc double slots Flawless Dawnbreaker - again, not a bad ultimate but she primarily slots it for the FG passives. In her case, double slotting the storm atronach for its passives would be another viable choice.PC NA(no Steam), PvE, mostly solo0 -

✭✭AtronachI use Atronach on flags or choke points. Little buff and removal of AoE caps has finally made my favourite ability more viable. I love playing my Storm Mage type sorc and calling down Atronach makes me feel fully immersed (especially the AoE morph - it looks like it could shatter mountains!

Doctor_Zeuss✭✭✭OverloadStam Sorc here, so a bit off on what you were asking, but I Use Overload anyways. It seems people have this idea that it’s very bad on a Stam build, especially the heavy attacks.
I’m still somewhat learning the game and getting better, but my set up does very well I think. 2H with DE buff bar. Overload heavy attacks as a ultimate sink that does amazing AoE clearing while preserving my dawnbreaker for immediate use. And the option for occasional strong range damage when forced away from my target.0 -

✭in pvp overload can hit 12k per second. You can literally kill anyone if you attack without being noticed because by the time they get hit, two projectiles are already in the air.
not to talk about the utility a 3rd bar can provide. So i would have voted Overload without a doubt for pvp, but i don't play that bullshift.Edited by Sergykid on February 24, 2018 3:04PM-PC EU- / battlegrounds on my youtube0 -

✭✭✭✭✭...whichever seems best for the fight at hand?
My sorce tend to go that way, some use their own favorite ulti, but must switch around as needed. And often also use weapon and guild ultis as well...0 -

✭NegateI've been on a dmg mitigation kick lately, trying to work that more into my builds and since the last update, I've been leveling up a sorc toon, my first sorc that hasn't been deleted before level 20, and I love negate, even in pve. Especially when my lowbie sorc is at stage 4 vampirism and I'm still not sure what i'm doing with this class and I just some annoying boss to stop hurting me so much.
Once he's a fully fledged toon with all his proper skills I might not use Negate as much in pve, but he's destined for Cyro at some point, which was the whole point of this toon anyhow--to be a pvp Negate champion.PC-NA since 2015. Tired and unimpressed.0 -

360 degree emergency heal, high damage, 10 second shield, very good resource management.
Grinding just make you go in circles.
Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Other. I don't use a sorc ultimateSorc Ults suck in PvE. Meteor/Ele Rage all day.
You have Negate Magic for the extremely specific scenarios where it might be needed (gargoyles in vHRC HM, 2nd boss vMA, etc), but besides that Overload and Storm Atronach are generally terrible.
I’m still playing CWC though..... idk if anything changes in Dragon Bones. Apparently the Storm Atro has become desireable alongside the newest Destro Ult nerf.Edited by Vaoh on February 24, 2018 8:38PM1 -

✭✭Stam sorc player here weighing in.
All 3 have their uses.
Storm Atronach is actually super underrated as a pve DPS ult. The Tooltip damage on it for me is about 117k vs Dawnbreaker which comes out at 30k. In a long single target fight, Storm Atro is probably the best ultimate you can use.
Overload is either a super potent skill if you build around it, or a third bar. I've moved away from it recently due to bar swap feeling like trash right now, but having access to a plethora of utility skills at any time is great.
Negate is a new flavour of the month for me. I've been running it over overload in pvp for a bit now, and it feels super good. The cost is a bit hefty, but the healing is great, and it's ability to shut down aggression is second to none. Also it ruins Magplar's and Mag DKs days.Lord and Savior of the Association of Serious S***posters.
I play a character called "Gives Me Wood Elf" because I am a mature and sensible person.
