Sorc Lightning Form Transparency Rework
dillonES
✭✭
This is more of a quality of life change than anything, but ZOS can you please edit the look of Sorc's Lightning Form Skill? Everytime I use it I can barley see my character, and it becomes a real problem in veteran dungeons. Can you please remove the Transparency and call the skill something else like "Conductivity" for exapmle, same exact skill just no transparency issue.

Nyteshade✭✭✭I rather like how it is now. I want to be all full of lightning and magic looking. It's my favorite part of playing a sorc.5 -
LightYagami✭✭✭✭✭Same here. I don't like the transparent form. I'd rather have the skill looks like Super Saiyan 2 (with lightning surrounding the body) than transforming into a transparent form...No improvement on Cyrodill servers -> no ESO plus renewal.1 -
drakthir✭✭✭It's the same for with the other classes armor skills, nightblades turns you red/shadow invis looking, sorc blue invis, dk shadow invis/beating heart. I didn't buy all these costumes just to have them dissapear in combat7
-
Elendir2am✭✭✭✭I agree with OP. Lightning Form looks maybe nice, but it is difficult to see myself in veteran trials.
Player don’t see that his character is immobilized, for example.PvP - Recruit.
PvE - Dragon food
RPG - A guy who thought, that he can defeat daedric prince, yet guards still chase him off when he accidentally touches some object during daily writs.3 -

✭✭✭✭✭It's something I've come to live with about ESO where some class skills make you see through. As annoying as it is when you just wanna see your character it works for the pace of ESO's combat which is being able to tell things at a glance. I remember back when I was just starting out with my DK I didn't like using old Stone Fist, Volatile Armor, and Dragon Blood since the effects were so in your face and overwritten everything. Now it just doesn't phase me anymore, although the pets Sorc has are a bit annoying.... even as a sorc.PC NA - Ceyanna Ashton - Breton Vampire MagDK1 -
bluehomeos✭✭pls zos just make an option pllllllllllllllllz i really want to play with my costume0
-
Jameson18✭✭✭✭✭They just need to curb back the transparency aspects a bit on sorc, dk, and nb. It's just a touch too far is all. Meet in the middle. Probably wouldn't take much for them to do either.0

✭✭✭✭✭RPers will like the transparency (look at me, I am lightning), anyone that plays combat competitively can't stand it for the most part. Makes it extremely hard to see any other animation happening at the same time. In PVE, it makes it harder to perfrom your rotation. In PVP, it makes it hard to recognize any status effect or similar that you have on you.
I absolutely think it should be changed, but hold my breath, I will not.5 -

✭✭It's lighting nirvana and you want it to change it?

✭✭✭Lightning form isn't that big of an issue.
I'd rather see the Twilight matriarch/tormenter size reduced by at least 25%. It's way too big and the flapping is obnoxious.Edited by SkaraMinoc on July 28, 2021 5:59PMPC NA3 -

Why are the two mutually exclusive? Pets are one issue across the board, lighting form is another. I really dont care about pet size, what I would like would be the ability to toggle the visibility of friendly pets. As I have stated many times, if its not trying to kill me or heal the guy trying to kill me, I just don't need to see it.
But what on earth does that have to do with lighting form?5 -
Viewsfrom6ix✭✭✭✭✭I agree, I kind of gotten used to it, but sometimes it gets really annoying that can't see my character's animations clearly. I'd like an optional toggle to appease both sides.1 -
master_vanargand✭✭✭✭✭
✭The same is true for Evasion.
The visuals are terrible and both spoil the fashionable style.3 -

As an RPer, transparency is the only reason I don't use the skill.
Similarly, I don't use green dragon blood with DK because of the transparency.
I just generally dislike the idea of my character becoming a non-solid entity.3 -

I agree it needs a change because it can be really detrimental to my game play. I can't even tell which weapon is in my hand sometimes and I don't realize I'm casting the wrong skill until it's too late.
Edit: I mean, turn the transparency down some more.Edited by StarOfElyon on July 31, 2021 3:44PM1 -
Stx✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭I would prefer the ability kept the swirling winds / electricity but lost the transparency, its annoying and ugly to look at.2 -
universal_wrath✭✭✭✭✭Hurricane and lighting forms are very annoying ti use in PvE and PvP, especialy if there is more than 1 visaup effect going on.1 -
colossalvoids✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Would be nice to see yourself for a change, one of the reasons I quit playing stamsorc all that often. Especially on higher latency in raids have close to zero visual indication of successful casts or other effects, pretty annoying.1 -
propertyOfUndefined✭✭✭✭✭It makes every sorc look the same, and hides the unique look you worked so hard on.4 -
NerfSeige✭✭✭✭Same. Most of the time, my sorc is in costumes cause motif is worthless anyway with lightning form.
Maybe something like overload effect but for the whole body instead of hands only.Avid reader of wes’-pts-diary[RIP]
NerfAS and Shill ruins everything
Skinny-meta-fake, graded D, and can’t explain the law of diminishing marginal returns.

✭Damn necros need to calm down.
No change is needed besides maybe a self visual nerf in the settings so that people who hate it can make it less prominent.

- PvE Healing/Damage: The Thief for decent crit rate.

https://media.giphy.com/media/3otPoTggaYFNd1FdAI/giphy.gif- Parse Food for PvE:(DPS) Ghastly Eye Bowl (increases Max Magicka by 4592 and Magicka Recovery by 459 for 2 hours).
- Gold/Purple Food for Sorc PvP and Meme Tanking:(PvP) Clockwork Citrus Filet (increases Max Health by 3326, Health Recovery by 406 [useful if stage 1 vampire], Max Magicka by 3080, and Magicka Recovery by 338 for 2 hours). Witchmother's Potent Brew (Increase Max Magicka by 2856, Max Health by 3094, and Magicka Recovery by 315 for 2 hours.
- Trash Potions when feeling cheap: Regular CP150 Essence of Magicka pots that I obtain frequently from playing the game or Crown Tri-Restoration Potion obtained from dailies.
- Crafted Potions: Essence of Spell Critical (Bugloss, Lady's Smock, and Water Hyacinth). Without magelight this is my primary means of obtaining Major Prophecy on my Sorc, which increases my Spell Critical Rating. This also heals and restores magicka. Essence of Immovability (Columbine, Corn Flower, and Wormwood). I use this in PvP, since this gives me stealth detection, knockback immunity, and restores magicka (better to use it when competent allies are nearby, since it might reveal that you are surrounded by multiple players in stealth and you will not have an emergency pot available after use). Essence of Invisibility with only 2 ingredients (Blue Entoloma, Namira's Rot, Nirnroot, or Spider Egg). I use this in PvE content that requires stealth and if I need more speed I'll use Rapid Maneuver before using the potion. Essence of Invisibility with 3 ingredients (Blessed Thistle, Blue Entoloma, and Namira's Rot). Very useful in PvP alongside the vampire Dark Stalker passive, since you'll be invisible, ignore movement speed penalty while in Crouch, and you'll have a 30% movement speed boost from Major Expedition (I always have this slotted when riding from point A to B in PvP land, since gankers are always lurking). My templar/arcanist will mostly use Essence of Health (Tri-Stat Potion) Ingredients: (Mountain Flower, Columbine, and Bugloss).
