What is your favorite ultimate ability for that class?

That’s what I’m saying – it’s not bad, but it definitely doesn’t deserve first place. It’s much more useful for mages, especially in the second expansion pack. And the Orcs have a great special ability, although the path to it isn’t easy for everyone.

In my opinion, the path to the special ability for mages is one of the most questionable. At the very least, not knowing any school of magic until level 23, despite having incredibly high magic stats, is too much. You can re-spec with a Mentor, I agree, but you can’t find him everywhere. But with the Orcs, I’m almost completely satisfied with the path. Only the catapult might not always be useful, but otherwise, everything is fine. I wouldn’t put the Dwarves’ special ability in first place if it weren’t for the path to it. Chaos without education and spellcasting won’t bring any benefit. Summoning is almost the same. Defense with readiness looks good, but that’s not enough.
