I too would enjoy werewolf ability skill styles, the swipes we have on brutal carnage, or claws of life/anguish could feature enhanced effects like the beast trap ability they showed except instead of a purple color maybe something reddish or blood like for brutal carnage or green like or some such pallor or subdued hue for claws of life anguish to reflect the disease damage in a new light

Most of what I really want for eventually from Styling is anything for class abilities, like everything everyone's suggested so far, specifically SKINS for abilities, and not just recolors.

Both recolors AND especially skins for things like
warden: bear, shalks, cliff racer, etc
sorc: scamp, twilight, clannfear, storm atro
nightblade: dark shade (especially since the model for this one is sooo old looking)
necro: blastbones, skeleton mage/archer, skull spammable
dragonknight: chains, standard ult

Don't even get me started on arcanist lol


I hope class skill styling (and scribing) will be next up after Gold Road in the soonest update as possible. It's the most anticipated thing for me in this game since housing back in 2017.

Monetization aside, I'm excited for the possibilities themselves. The main things I want to customize are the Warden's skills. Most seem to be very Vvardenfell-flavoured. I'd like to have the bear be styled as a Wolf or Fox. I'd like the cliff diver to be more of an eagle or hawk. I'd also like to customize the Sorcerer skills, particularly something more visually appealing than the Matriarch.

Oh here's a good skill style for the blood scion: a Blood Knight. like the ones encountered in blackreach

Good idea! I'd imagine players would also love to finally have a "Vampire Lord" Skill Style for the Blood Scion skill. I do think that something simple like a "Blood Knight" Skill Style would be a good first step in that direction, though.

In general, I'm really hoping that "transformation" and "pet" skills are given plenty of Skill Styles for swapping out the textures and models. That is, being able to change what we look like when we transform or what our pets look like would be an incredible use of the Skill Styling system. We've seen an example of this with the Slate Gray Summoned Bear collectible for changing the fur color of the bear from the Feral Guardian skill, so why not expand this system further?

I play Arcanist so it doesnt matter to me, unless the Skills will also generate Crux. At the moment 90% of all skills in the game are unusable to Arcanist.

Skill Styles are cosmetic changes to the visual appearance of skills. Scribing skills, or Grimoires, are special skills for existing skill lines that allow players to customize their function. Fortunately, there will be a way to generate Crux using Grimoires, by using the Arcanist's "Class Mastery" Script on a Grimoire.

In short, Grimoires can allow Arcanists to generate Crux, while Skill Styles are for changing the appearance of skills.
