This suggestion barely changes anything when it comes to balance either. I already played without my ult and never felt like I needed this big cd to take on mobs. In fact it was more powerful to have 2 dashes to daze mobs with Rogue or other lower cds like shadow imbuement or energy from concealment to deal with packs.
Adding an extra slot JUST for ultimate wouldn’t even be adding every extra skill to the bar. It would just allow for ultimates to be slotted. and I bet if Blizz looked at everyones builds they would see VERY few people putting ult on their bar. I know all of my friends (about 8 of us that met each other through the discord and played all the beta on vc with each other) did not take ult on their builds and felt it was useless because of such a long cd and so few buttons to choose from. Ult was always first on the chopping block and they all wanted to use more normal skills as the combat wasn’t fun with only 5 buttons.
I think most good build guides will tell people not to take ult. After going to level 25 with barb rogue and sorc, I can see lots of very good builds that would outdamage builds that include ultimate.
This really would only make ultimate actually be viable, as like I said, I think Blizzard could even prove this to themselves just by seeing that most people don’t even slot ult on their bar at lvl 25. At least ults would get used this way and console players I don’t think would have issue pressing 2 shoulder buttons every 60 seconds or so.
