This is essentially what everyone playing a necro bash build transitioned to and its the new ultra cheesy beyond easy plague of PvP build, the worst part is this was around last update and ZOS did nothing to stop it. Before the socrwagon come to defend it, it is cheese. The key to a bombing build is that its an all divines glass cannon, something a magsorc with 30k health and 12k hardened wards is not, midpatch fix for this would be much appreciated.

    Overload: Reduced the damage dealt of this ability and its morphs’ Heavy Attack by approximately 25% per tick. The radius of these attacks will now properly respect their telegraphs, and have been reduced to the following;
    Overload and Energy Overload: 4 x 6 meters, down from 4 x 15 meters
    Power Overload: 6 x 8 meters, down from 6 x 15 meters

    OP, judging from the number of threads you have started......most of which either complain about other peoples' classes' skills, or are just outright demands for nerfs on said classes......you really don't seem to be very happy with life.

    Why don't you go and l2p a bit more instead of spending so much time on the forum whining. But while you are on the forum, you might care to read the latest current patch notes, so that you can keep abreast with what's happening.

    Or find another game.

    OP was a lie even before the nerf. You won't find any sorcs with "30k health and 12k shields" doing much Overload damage.

    Will the nerf crying from ignorant babies who can't be bothered to keep up with the patch notes and hyperbolic LYING never cease in this game? Apparently not.

    I play every class except Necro and avoid things that are too easy like last patch petsorc or magblade, I can see when 2 ticks of overload heavy attack hits my capped resistance character for 20k +

    Can you screenshot your "capped resistances" ?

    Apologies ahead of time that I don't believe you ... but sometimes players make false claims in the forums in an effort to support their point.

    I can hit 51 on my DK and that's with 26k health and 2800 crit resist. Think armor is at 28k/24k and regen at 2k. Still can't survive a pulse/curse/frag/execute combo

    It's sad. After the nerf to Heavy Overload, I haven't seen one Sorc using it. What's the point of nerfing a skill or ulti so much that it never gets used?

    I play PvE, is this the third sorc ulti that I’ve never even put a skill point into? I hear it used to be cool but now it’s only useful for easy pvp kills once in a while.

    Already nerfed. I used to be able to kill district flag guards with only 150 ult points, now it costs 250 if I'm lucky and they stay in range.

    Not really calling for a nerf here, but my 30k spell resist character sometimes gets hit by 6-7k ticks from overload heavy attacks - so there might be merit for futher fine-tuning.

    I congratulate all people insulting the op but didn't even bother to think about whether the OP is playing on PC which got the overload balance patch, while console did not.

    The fix might be included in the patch today that does include consoles(?) otherwise it might take longer.

    screeching L2P!!! whilst on a class with 60% raw damage mitigation + armour master backbar and a 46k+ pool, its a bit obvious when absolutely everyone in the duel area and people are winning 1v1s against an emp With a class that it might be over performing, but hey necro Bash build wasn’t overpowered and vipers, selenes stamblade proc meta wasn’t overpowered everyone who couldn’t survive it was just bad at the game and should have L2P.

    SMH at people that are still crying about gimped Overload. When there are those of us running around with Onslaught deleting other players in 1 to 3 global cooldowns with little to no counterplay. OMEGALUL :D

    Yes onslaught is very overpowered atm and Im suprised the changes went live, however think about incap only a few patches ago similar tooltip damage wise, 20% flat damage, major defile and a cc for 75 ult, at least you don’t get to start every combo with an onslaught
