    Was it only DB? It feels a lot longer ago than that.

    Dawnbreaker is the Figthers Guild ultimate, it makes sense to me that it is more effective on stamina chars.

    Why don't you ask for changes to meteor, soul asault or class ultimates? it makes more sense to me if you are feeling that some magicka builds lack a burst damage ultimate.

    I just like to see some diversity, and won't like to see everybody using DBoS in PvP.

    Dawnbreaker is a Daedric artifact of Meridia which is specially effective on Undead and any minions of other Daedric Princes such as WW. It is technically a magic sword which should deal magical damage as it used to. But OP's suggestion would not upset stam players at all.

    Why should not all ultis deal damage of the typ of your max stat.

    e.g.
    physical meteor for stam classes
    mag damage incap
    poison leap with shield
    mag dawnbreaker
    ...

    It would at least give you a chose why you would choose this ulti because of it's effect rather than that it deals the correct typ of damage.

    Make this change happen so I can 1-shot almost any player in Cyrodil with my templar, and if not 1-shot, purifying light + DB would end anyone with less than 40K health...Please do it ZOS!

    Magicka dawnbreaker is called: a magicka character equipping dawnbreaker.

    Stamina meteor is called: a stamina character equipping meteor.

    Not really if you consider the context of these complaints: the swift meta in stamina has put magicka builds (who don't incorporate swift themselves when they should, mind you) on the backfoot and asking for adjustments that are unnecessary & counter to core design, they simply want something to be more competitive, but dunno what to ask for so they plead for nonsense. Remove swift from this context and these conversations would disappear as well.

    I'm more concerned about diversity and balance than lore issues, if using the word Dawnbreaker for a physical damage ultimate doesn't fit the lore just rename it to something more lore friendly.

    I think it's fair to say there's no compelling lore reason that DB shouldn't be able to deal magic damage (covered by numerous posters already).

    As for diversity issues, I'll reiterate a point I made earlier—the classes that will use DBoS after this change are the same ones that already use it. Ult diversity won't be affected.

    Ideally we'd all have the need for a burst ult fulfilled by the class toolkits, but until ZOS implements that (assuming it's even on the cards), this change would help the classes that need it without taking anything away from third parties.

    And how would OP's version of Dawnbreaker hurt the diversity? Classes like Templar, Sorc and Warden do not have any other viable CC options atm when magicka. I don't think OP's proposal will hurt anyone. I feel that almost all universal ults need to do this.
