DBoS Down The Ult Drain

What is up with this ult? I have more DBoS' drain with no effect than any other ult except for maybe dragon leap when I used to play dk. Last night alone I had a minimum of 5 times where my ultimate drained with no effect and thats not counting the times the delay on it could be measured in seconds. So far Ive had DBoS drain with no effect after being feared, javelined and dragon leaped. Ive seen it happen to friends, and Ive seen it happen on streams. Free crown crates are all well and good but Id really rather they do a legit maintenance. Can you guys at ZOS please look into this?

    That reactive prison rune thing that sorcs have is a usual culprit.

    Using it near a staircase will also cause it to bug out. Same with using it on steep terrain.

    Can confirm. Multiple DBoS either disappear completely or have 2-3 second delay.

    I got so annoyed with these issues I'm actually using 2h ult for a while now..

    Overall I like the ult, but Its definitely not cost effective.

    2h ult is arguably one of the most overpowered ults in game for duels.

    yet we see nobody using it over dbos/leap/potl.

    Guess what, being cost-effective+reliability of an undodgeable aoe ult, beats 2h ult %99 of the time.

    But with that being said, if it had a cost similar to incap, people would actually use it a lot more.

    Sadly this isn't just for dawnbreaker or ults, it's for skills in general. Abilities go off but it does nothing even though it still uses resources.

    How? You have to kill someone with it to get the cost refunded, so you can’t use it twice in one duel Whether you kill the other guy or not.

    I've learned to just hold my DboS when I am within a few meters of a wall or vertical terrain. I can almost replicate a drain event at will by pointing it at a tree in Cyro or pillar in BGs while in motion. Very dissapoint

    Yup. Most people don't realize, it grants 8 seconds of snare, root and hard CC immunity after casting.

    Then if you kill the target, you'll get stamina Regen back just for using two hander.

    I personally prefer the reset morph in PvP, as it has the potential to be ridicilous on a stamDk via battle roar.

    But in the reality of things people tend to block-dodge a lot more when they are low hp, so the reset mechanic just never works like you want it to.

    If the one of the morphs had reduced cost I would gladly use it.

    A quick update, I absolutely destroyed a few people with 2h ult in duels today.

    Also hit a magsorc for %70 of his hp with it. I guess it isn't so bad when you have like 5k weapon damage.

    I was actually gonna post the clip here but shadowplay decided that it hates me so All I have is a clip of me dueling a stamplar instead :/

    PS: I really need a shadowplay alternative, it sucks, don't buy nvidia for shadowplay, Im serious.

    must be a just you thing, I have never had issues with shadow play. Streaming, highlights, last 15 minutes of gameplay, all gameplay, never had an issue :)

    Stamplar vs StamDK sounds like they are fighting for the bottom tier slot for stam builds. Lol.

    And yes, I can confirm that this happens on vertical slopes, staircases, and sometimes even on flat plains. Ult is consumed and then there's no ult firing off. This is getting more annoying and this happens more on Dawnbreaker than any other ults.

    In general I have tons of broken recordings caused by shadowplay randomly deciding to screw up, and OBS is just plain better at streaming. Maybe you're not using it enough to notice it.

    Lately all my friends are having same kind of issues with it.

    I actually use it everyday :) Have been since it first got released. I'm not saying what you are saying isn't true, I'm just relaying that I have never had an issue with it unless nvidia screwed something up, and when they did they quickly fixed it and it went back to working amazingly well for me.

    I noticed this happens most often when DB does the killing blow. You charge up a heavy attack, press R, and nothing happens even though the targets still died.

    Guess I will try reinstalling it then. Maybe the issue is fixable, who knows.

    Shadowplay is amazing. I use it almost daily and have no problems with it.

    Not to mention that nobody should buy nvidia for shadowplay but for the fact that nvidia is the superior video card to all the other cheap variants.

    honestly the only reason I went with nvidia was because amd didn't had anything to offer for the same price range at that time. Before my gtx 1070 , I used an r9 290 and was very pleased with the performance. Amd's new vega line up is a complete failure in my eyes, and I'm glad I didn't wait so long and just got a 1070.

    But competition is a good thing. I hope AMD comes back with a solid gpu line up next season.

    AMD really needs to come up with something good next season. Nvidia is dominating so hard right now, they're really pushing AMD into irrelevance imo. Not to mention the interface and how nvidia cards interact with the user. I can't see myself ever going with an AMD unless somehow they'll suddenly make a chip that massively overperforms compared to Nvidia.

    AMD is in a fine spot for sales, thanks to their mining performance, and eastern market demand for cheaper cards. The cards sell so well I remember my friends not being able to find vega cards to purchase, and same story was the case for their 500 series(which is just polaris rebrand anyways)

    That being said It makes 2x more sense to get an nvidia for a regular gamer. AMD cards are pretty much non-existant at the moment and prices are skyrocketing because of it. When this mining craze is over amd needs to step up their game.

    Shadowplay is a part of the GeForce experience... that stupid program will shut off my laptop’s graphics card every time I alt tab, ruining my frame rate when I tab back in due to not reallocating the lost voltage properly.

    I had to uninstall GeForce experience, and I do not believe that bug has been fixed yet. I’ve been streaming and recording using OBS, which is a better program in every way.

    pardon me for being "that guy", but you don't buy nvidia for shadowplay. It comes as part of the GPU you buy from Nvidia. If you are buying a several hundred dollar GPU just for shadowplay, you should check out Fraps.

    Yeah its unbelievably difficult to go into settings in GeForce experience and slide that bar to the left and disable shadowplay. Not sure how anyone can handle it, took me a full team of guys to get done.
