Hello,

I noticed that only light attacks of Overload ultimate summon a Bound weapon and not Overload heavy attacks.

I think it is a bug.

Regards

    Overload HAs are not really heavy attacks - they don't require a target, they are projectiles with AOE explosion on collision. You don't get Armaments stacks when spamming normal (non-overload) LAs/HAs into the void either so I guess it's intentional.

    Disagree if you compare to HA shock staff
    But over all it is written heavy attacks. Empower buff those attacks. So it is a bug.

    It is not a bug. Lightning heavy attacks tick on a target. Overload heavy attack is a channel that requires no target, and functions more like a (mobile) ground based DOT produced in front of your character.

    It breaks a part of stamsorc gameplay. It should summon a bound weapon for each tick on at least One target in the aoe.

    It would be nice, but it would require recoding stuff so I doubt it will be changed anytime soon :/ I see no reason why it shouldn't work the way you describe, but it at least makes sense why it doesn't, for whatever that's worth.

    If because it is difficult to do that and ZOS let it like that since long Time, so give up perf upgrade and other things more complicated that I suggested earlier 😅
