More Skill Styles! - Warden Bear

Stx · February 10

Hello!

First of all let me say that I believe the skill style customization options are one of the best systems implemented to the game in a long time. Simple color changes or effect changes to abilities make a massive difference when trying to create cohesive builds from a thematic and visual perspective.

This thread is aimed mainly at the Warden Bear ultimate ability. The skill style system is perfect for remedying a crucial shortcoming in the ESO class roster…. The classic Hunter + pet archetype.

I feel like every fantasy RPG has a pet ranger class and ESO didn’t for a long time until the Warden, but that only came with one pet option. Personally I love bears. I am happy to play a ranger or even nature type caster with a bear. But I feel like it would be a very popular design decision to add in more skill style skins for the warden guardian that allow other animals such as wolves, snakes, guars, kagouti, cats, any number of animals.

For instance, my Warden is a Dark elf who dives headfirst into the ash lander / bug themes. A bear just doesn’t fit. A skill style that changed the bear into a Guar, alit, or even nix hound would be really cool and something I would definitely spend time unlocking in game.

I agree the the warden is fertile ground for style options. Unlike you, I don't embrace the Morrowind theme but, rather, the classic forest ranger theme. I'd love to see a hawk option for the cliffracer and a thorns option for the shalks.

As far as the bear, it certainly fits my theme, though a wolf or big cat would be welcome by others I'm sure. At a minimum, I'd like to see more bear skin options added to the brown and gray. Options for honey blond, white, black already exist of bears in the game so that would be some low hanging fruit I should think.
