Energy Overload needs to be fixed. (Storm Calling ultimate)

Elyna · April 2014

Countless times have I suddenly been unable to attack or use any spells when I use this ability. I have also died because of it and theres nothing more frustrating than dying because the game suddenly refused to let you do anything.
Am I the only one thats had this issue?

I have this happen very frequently. All I can do is use magicka based attacks, no staff skills.

I have never had a problem. I just pop it, use Shattering Prison to snare the mob, and blow them away while holding heavy attack down.

This has happened to me a number of times as well. When it works, it's great, otherwise, I'm dead in the water.

It happens to me quite a lot to, I put in a bug report a few days ago.

The only problem I've had with it is that once the AoE heavy attack part of it gets going, it takes a godawful amount of time to stop casting, even after you let go of the mouse button. I've always been able to use class abilities, but haven't tried with a staff ability.

What can happen is that your ultimate gets drained down too low to actually fuel another light/heavy attack...but it isn't zero so it won't turn itself off. So you cannot do any more light/heavy attacks until you turn off the Overload yourself.

Mild bug to not automatically turn itself off.

Yea this basically is my frustration with the ability

I tend to avoid most of the these issues as I primarily only use Overload as a 3rd action bar. I hope the upcoming changes to swapping priority helps fix some of this. No idea if directly related or just individual bugs to skills.
