Hi all!Been having a blast with Veilguard. One issue has kept popping up for me and I'm not seeing much discussion of it so I thought I'd post here just in case.I keep discovering that my Ultimate Skill has been reset to the default one. I'm playing a Champion Warrior, so I'd like to be using Warden's Fire, and every few combats I find that I somehow have Flashing Fists equipped again. I'm generally only noticing this when I go to actually use my ultimate and then notice it's the wrong one, so I'm not sure precisely how often it's happening, but it's happened two or three times at least in the past couple of hours of gameplay.I'm on PC and have the latest update.Cheers!

Same issue with my Warrior. It only started happening after this first patch. The most annoying part about it is that I only realize it got switched when I go to use the ability.

Having the same issue on my mage. It seems like it might be happening when I fast travel, either between the zone or to a new one?

Updating this comment:When refunding/adding new skill points to the skill tree reset the ultimate to Flashing Fists. Changing/adding skill points to Companions reset it to Flashing Fist too. Also tested with Fast Travels, but it doesnt reset my Ultimate then. Yeah, it has happen many times for my champion too! And now i'm at a boss with lots of enemies and i wanted to try the ability to burn em all. But nope, i started jumping around and into the ground. Lame ultimate. I never get to use my ability when i really want to use it when theres alot of enemies, to test it out. 😡 Anyway, love the game so much. It's rare that a game gets me hooked and just pulls you in like that and you only want to play that game. I play on hardest difficulty, i find it easy now at this stage in the game. So i can't wait to unlock the even harder difficulty. But they need to fix this dumb bug that annoys the heck out of me. :-(((On PC aswell.

yep! the same thing is happening to me and my mage, i really hate having to change it every time i notice it. it's such a chore...

I couldn't reply to my own comment for some reason but to add to this:
Updating the skill tree resets my ult about 3 out of 5 times. Along with that, I noticed that collecting ultimate potions when the meter is drained to under 50 percent is also switching my ult. It's annoying but workable. I just have to check Rook's items & spells before I start any major fight or when I reload.

Just happened to me for the first time (Mage, just popped my Ult and only then realized it was the default Destructive Light instead of my previously selected Thunderous End). I've been playing plenty since the patch, and this is the first time it happened (during quest "The Siege of [Location]").
Crossposting this to multiple threads, since this is being discussed a few different places.

  Confirming that it's STILL happening after Patch 3 and still seems to be related to skill tree interactions.

  Confirming that for me it's pretty conclusively tied to resetting one or more skill points. The first time it happened was after respeccing a couple of companions. The second time was when, while spending new skill points on a companion, I accidentally clicked a node twice, thus spending and then removing a point in a skill (then deliberately clicking one more time to spend the point in the same place again). (P.S. Using the same button to select and remove abilities is uhhhh not the greatest design ever.)

I'm still having this problem too. The combat in this game is so fun, except for this annoying fatal bug. Please fix it quickly.

Yeah I’m on Xbox and my ultimate keeps switching too was fine before the patch. So hope it gets fixed soon. Not to annoying I just keep forgetting to check before I go into combat lol

This is happening to me as well. I'll have Thunderous End equipped and it will just randomly switch back to Destructive Light on its own.

Hey Everyone,

Bioware has released the latest patch 3 for PC and Console. You can read more details in our post: Dragon Age™: The Veilguard Patch 3 (PC/Console)

Once you've had a moment to download it, can you confirm if this is still happening?

  Confirming it's still happening.
  And while we're on the topic of **bleep** Patch 3 was supposed to address but didn't, could you please let somebody know that they only fixed the WASD-to-arrows keybinding bug and not the others? For example, it's still impossible to remap Map to most things, including Tab.

Yeah it happened to me twice. At first I thought I must be hitting some hotkey without realizing it but after a few seconds it reset. :/ Why

Having the same problem on my Veil Ranger. It's really annoying bc the default rogue ultimate is kinda crappy. It's ridiculous that this has been up 17 days and they haven't responded to this yet; it's messed up a lot of battles
