Whats a good single target ult for a magika sorc?

[Fatum]

It seems like most of my obvious options are all aoe.
Which isn't too bad, since many bosses I've faced so far have adds. Currently I'm using overcharge and use the light attacks.
I use the bubble for general questing and stuff, great to pile them all up, drop aoes, then plop a giant stun down on them.

I think PvP is where ill really want a single target option

Overload is the only single target ultimate available to magicka sorcs I think. That said, stuff like dawnbreaker and comet while aoe do a lot of damage even in a single target combo. Dawnbreaker is very useful against vampire players in pvp (as in you can 2shot some of them).

Yeah...I should totally not play something I enjoy just because it's poppular....hipsters. Even invading our video games.

I recommend Meteor, from the Mages Guild skill line. Its aoe, but it does a lot of damage.

Two good options:

1. Destruction Staff > Elemental Storm > Elemental Rage - Gains a new effect based on the staff you use: Fire - +10% damage; Ice - targets are immobilized; Lighting - +2s duration.

2. Meteor - great all around area damage ultimate, typically used on your backbar regardless of what your mainbar ultimate is. Even non-magicka classes, like Stamina Nightblades, often choose this for their secondary ult if the need for area damage comes up. (Although with vMA weapons, it's not really necessary thanks to Rend becoming super OP at that point.)

The second morph of Elemental Storm, Eye of the Storm, is pretty OP in Cyrodiil. It causes the storm to cast on yourself, and follow you for the duration. To top it off, it hits like a nuclear bomb, often outright one-shotting people and dealing ridiculous damage with the ground DoT. (It also apparently kills frame rates for people with older hardware.)

I'm talking 25k+ initial hit criticals, with 9k+ gDoT damage.

And that's with a set of Impen gear equipped. So with the correct CP/gear setup, you, too, could be smacking people around for that kind of damage!

Also, multiple Sorcs spamming that crap pretty much make for an indestructible wall of death that no one can get near; pretty great in choke points or for holding down a control point. Tanks with healers behind them can't even walk in to that without dying in 1 to 3 seconds.. let alone squishy DPS with no healers. :)

That one.
In skill description (i'm not even sorc, and my equipment is pretty bad) its 44792 damage over 3,5 second chanelling. In fight much more. Meteor does more damage and its aoe, but Soul Assault is 2 times chaper, 100 ult vs 200. So you can use Assault on single target 200% more often, which is way more damage in total.

If you want single-target ult, use Assault. And save those Shooting Stars with Rages for trash.

Thanks for the tips. Can't wait to get out of work and see where I stand. I've got to be close to unlocking my staff ult as I've been running double staff all the way up so far. Don't see much use for any other, maybe some resto staff for rainy days.

Looking at these abilities in my app here. The meteor ability seems almost too good to be true. Generates 10 ult each when it hits? So if I pile up 10+mobs, which I tend to do.. that's half my ult regen already??? Op.

I pull pull pull with the staff. Los when possible, plop my aoes down and root them it.

As i said, its good for trash. But it wont generate tons of ult in single target.
