What skills do you use but hate how they look and sound?

GeorgeBlack

Players mentioned these skills, and what I dont like about them
1)Steelnado
2)Corrosive armor
3)Dragon Blood. Where did my awsome character looks go? Heart/veins good. Shadow ugly.
4)Spiked Armor. I though I was a dragon. Not a coral.
5)Warden. The whole class is ridiculous. Change everything to Ice. Everything. Trees animals. Make them all ice elements and such. Moving on...
6)Lightning form. More character looks, more thunder/wind, less transform
7)Familiar. Not intimidating at all.
8)Rally. I hate the white weapons and the red aura.
9)Blade cloak. Looks lazy. Dont like my character/armor look giving way to a very distinct white aura.
10)People find Flurry a ridiculous looking skill and they are not wrong.

I hate how Steel Tornado looks and sounds. The knives animation is laughable. The sound brings to my mind umbrellas. Dont know why.
Years ago I was using Corrosive Armor in PvP. It was not the best at the time.
Front bar Leap was better and Standard of Might was awsome. Anyway. Corrosive armor used to sound AWSOME. BETTER THAN LEAP. True ultimate momment.
Then stamDKs became poisonKnights and Ive never used that skill evet since. Sounds bad, looks bad.



So what skills do you like using, but hate how they look/sound?

Guarlet

Oh I agree completely with Steel Tornado. It just feels derpy af, like you're trying to be this really cool kungfu master but you just whirl in a derptard circle. One thing I like about maining a stamsorc is that I can use Shrouded Daggers instead lol.

Also holding block and bashing with a staff looks silly, you can't tell me it doesn't.

Hanokihs

Volatile Familiar. Like, the pulse is nice (even necessary/required compared to the clannfear's ability), but the weird little monkey-scamp throws off my whole look.

Edit: On second thought, that winged twilight's singing takes the award for most annoying sound. The flapping about is tolerable with the right positioning, but her "laah, laah, laaaaaaah" sound drives my main group up the wall in long play sessions.

MalakithAlamahdi

Spiked armor and especially dragon blood. I hate turning invisible on a DK like that. I wish it'd only make the place where the heart is seethrough but nothing else.

And jabs, it looks really stiff the way he uses that spear.

SkyIsTheLimit1206

Rally


Very boring animation, just raises sword into air, sometimes I even forget if I cast it or not

Lylith

falcon's swiftness.

whiny, keening, annoying sound on either morph.

hates it.

lzzy

I'm not too big on the semitransparent look lightning form gives the player. That and I wish its morph hurricane was a more compact and visible twisting funnel around the character.

Lastly, it's not finalized or anything but I don't like bound armor on the PTS, because there are practically no longer any visuals attached in the first place.

Wing

most of the warden animal companion line.

I detest that the effects are specific to vvardenfell / EP zones in general instead of just a more generic nature magic effect.

Taleof2Cities

Warden Nature’s Grasp

ihazzit

None of the skills are particularly annoying to me, but I do not like the break-free animation. If my character gets jumped on by a clannfear I just let it do it biting/crunching thing until my character gets back up on its own.

Pink_Violinz

I think mistform looks really dumb. You just kind of explode into a void that looks more like a swarm of flies than anything actually intimidating.

geonsocal

vampires bane...it's a bit underwhelming...

NeKryXe

whirlwind.

i need to use it but i hate to use it because it's too loud.

Sigtric

The Warden class. All because of the visuals.

_Salty_

All of the above mentioned options. Hurricane the most. Im ok with boundless storm looking how it does but hurricane should just be swirling winds around the player and not the translucent blue hue.

mb10

Mark target on nightblade. Just raises his arms up, nothing to do with marking a target or anything at all

The immovable heavy armour skill is ugly. A see through bubble lol

Metoer. Same hand movement for a bunch of other skills

Waffennacht

I've never been impressed with blade cloak's animation. I was expecting a lot more back in the day when I first unlocked it

Vaoh

Imo, Cliff Racer and Scorch.

It was funny at first but now it’s just lame. Throwing birds at people? Exploding.... beetles?

Why not just throw an ice spike or have some cool explosion of nature or ice magic. Stuff that makes sense. None of the other classes are doing weird stuff like this that is zone-specific.

Warden is one ugly P.O.S. how did the visuals ever make it past Zos quality control?

Eyro

It isn’t a skill, but jumping. Hate the way it looks. Although it has grow on me over the years.

They don't have one. I thought it was quite obvious by now

Oh! That is a good one. Forgot all about it. I make pug dungeons cry, no I’m a ranged templar... what? Oh, Pokey stick? No I hate it. What do you mean I should be kicked?

It wouldn’t be so bad if that one skill wasn’t all you needed to complete around 95% of the game content. It isn’t bad when you start. Years later oh please gods, make it stop.

getemshauna

Crippling Grasp. Lazy animation and annoying sound.

DanteYoda

Warden the bug skill is garbage, i use them because i have no choice too, but holy hell they are the worst skills in game mechanics wise...

Seraphayel

Basically all Templar DPS skills look and sound quite bad (except Nova and Radiant Destruction).

Yzalirk

Mostly the stamina morphs for the Dragonknight. I personally like the flame visuals better. It would still be pretty cool if all the abilities fit that caustic aesthetic though. Just not a fan of the two mixing together.

Everstorm

I dislike skills that conjure up a weapon like Jabs, Veiled Strike and Lava Whip. Just looks clunky having your own weapons go poof and then replaced by an animation and then back again.

maroite

Pierce Armor and Flurry - while wielding hammers or axes. Both of these are terrible. It seems they were designed for two types of weapons, swords and daggers. The the devs were like "good enough, we don't need appropriate animations/sounds for axes and maces."

The animations kill me. It is possibly the single most frustrating thing in the game for me at the moment. I mean, really? "Hey dude, let me stab you with the blunt end of my hammer... that makes piercing sounds." -.-
