I said it last time a post like this was made and I’ll say it again: templar and nightblade are the execute classes. If every class had a good (I know sorcerer has an execute but I don’t think its used in PvE) execute spammable, then thats another step towards every class feeling the same with different colors.

I could see a scribing signature that provides execute scaling. Specifically for Destruction Staves (Or through Soul Magic) as I don't think there are any Magicka-based class-independent Execute skills.

Perhaps not quite as high scaling as NB or Templar, but something to slot.

Higher damage for Direct Damage single-target melee execute though, keeping it in line with 2H Executioner. Might not want to do any DoT Execute as to not (edit: allow overlap)

But I agree that not all classes need to have everything. But I do think they should be able to branch out to most things via world/weapon-skills.

I don't see what purpose it would serve to have a class execute instead of a weapon skill execute.

Like, I guess Sorc can get their 2% W/S Damage from their passive (Though AFAIK Sorcs actually do utilize Mages Wrath anyway)

You might argue "Oh but weapon skills mean you're locked into that weapon" but if you're playing at a level where having an execute slotted is noteworthy, then you're already going to be locked into DW anyway because of how much better than every other weapon set it is for DPS.

The entire concept of weapon skill lines and Guild skill lines is that classes all provide different things and if your class is missing something, you can look for it in one of these other skill lines. With Scribing building on that by allowing you to create more specific types of ability to utilize.

I would like to see a new Scribing ability that just has execute scaling by default. For example, a Grimoire for the Dark Brotherhood skill line could utilize the Blade of Woe in the attack, and it could always have execute scaling regardless of which Scripts you pick for it, by nature of it being an "assassin" ability.

Though, I would also like to see new Scripts added, and in particular one that can give other Grimoires execute scaling. We've yet to see new Scripts introduced to the game, though.

I also don't think that each class should get an Execute skill, as I can imagine that it would lead to more classes playing the same.

I agree with those that have said that it would be nice to have a Signature Script (or something) that adds Execute scaling to some Scribing skills, though. It'll be fun to play around with something like that for a bit.
