It's not dumbing it down for simplicity's sake--it's normalizing it across all classes. Now Dragonknights won't generate ultimate at several times the rate of other classes.
Also, I'm going to call BS on dropping Veil 8 seconds after one dissipates as a tank. I gain Ulti faster on my NB tank than I do my Temp tank, not quite as fast as my DK tank, but currently Ulti gain
5 minutes. Hell I've idled in town with a full ultimate bar and it's stayed up for at least an hour and then I go into a fight, kill something and it's gone. Nothing like pulling a group and having
Queue in the ESO Ultimate change. This is essentially a dumbing down of what was a dynamic system to "You get 3 ultimate every 8 seconds as long as you do a light attack".
like a good answer to it. All of the issues with ultimates could be solved differently- when you're out of combat, you can't regen ult, whether through healing or the DK earthen heart ability. Cap ul
