Is it just me or do our ults really suck?

I've been trying several and they just seem lackluster. Incap is meh....I've been using Dawnbreaker but it also seems pretty meh.

Rapid Fire seems alright, but my current build doesn't use a bow.

What are you guys using, and why?

    Incap,Dawnbreaker, or onslaught, and soul siphon back bar.

    Incap for most solo. Dbos for small scale and up, onslaught for stealth-ganks.

    Soul siphon awesome. I usually wait till cc immune to pop it or when I want to go on the offense.

    In the process of leveling psijic line for ulti.

    Dawnbreaker is trash because it disapears and doesnt work. Incap is okay single target wise (if nb = burst high dps class, remove cast time), but nb brings nothing groupwise.

    They used to be good back in the day, but yeah ZOS pretty much ruined it.

    The ults were great until they added cast times. Now you gotta spam buttons wasting cool downs hoping it goes off. Sad they had to ruin such great combat because people didn’t wanna learn the game mechanics.

    I always have soul siphon on, for the other bar either incap or ballista. Usually incap, but ballista makes for some entertaining ganks.

    Outside of them having cast time I wouldn't call the NB ultimates bad (consuming/bolstering darkness I could say isn't the best of ultimates however)

    Incap is great, but you need to know how and when to use it, otherwise it will get dodged 80% of the times. Is common for less experienced played to find ultimates like dawnbreaker or the bow ulti to be "better", but once you get better at the game, you realize how strong incap is.

    Incap is a great ult, it's just held back by its ridiculous cast time.

    If you have a dark cloak build, what do you do about channel time?

    Incapacitating Strike for a quick 70 Ult cost (will also add "Reave" and add to crit rating with the Pressure Points passive). Cast time 0.4 seconds.

    Rend (or Thrive in Chaos) for a big damage DoT with a 50% HoT added in (sort of like a fire-and-forget missile, hits all enemies in front of you). Cast time 0.5 seconds.

    Toxic Barrage for Bow. Four seconds channel -- a heavy hitter. Can move at full speed while using it.

    Don’t forget Incap adds 20% dmg for a couple of seconds. Incap into spectral bow absolutely devastates everything. If you offbalanced them before with surprise attack, it’s even better

    The nb ultis never work anymore [snip] Sometimes i see the animation, the toon says uhh and the targets also like appear to be hit, they go like arrgh, but the skill does not do any damage or stun and the ulti is not spend. Other times it doesn't even do that, nothing at all happens. [snip]

    This combo with either minor beserk from camo hunter or minor venerability from ambush is an inatant RIP against most players, I’ve been hit on a tanky class for nearly 14k relentless focus with what I assume is a big balorgh proc.

    Something about a +/- .5 second cast time feels like lag. a . To me .4 seconds "feels" like the game glitched and the skill failed to fire.

    It ruined every ultimate they put it on.

    I'm thinking of giving Thrive in Chaos a try. I've heard a lot of bad things about it, which makes me want to use it even more.

    If I can't make it work, that means I can't thrive in chaos :P

    Using it on battering rams sounds awesome, with that +damage boost.

    I think DW is awesome and I think most people that think it's bad are doing it wrong.
