People's Skill Styles Wishlist

Arcturus · April 30

Haven't seen one around here yet so here goes. Also haven't seen anything about the pts so apologies if some of these were there already.

Mine would personally be (for sorc skills specifically) :

Haemomancy summons for vampire Sorcerers (werebat, bloodfiend for example).
Any alternative to Twilight to get rid of Miss Flaps-On-Faces. Something tells me this is gonna be a popular one

Superspeed shadowy streak instead of lightning teleport + other elements. Same for Atronach ultimate.
Lightning form being all 3 elements at the same time without making the sorc translucent/transparent.
Blood magic Dark Conversion.
Again more elements for Overload ultimate.
Orbiting daedric runes around cursed targets + magic circle or pentagram at their feet (daedric curse).
Conjured ward with updated vfx that look more torn down the more dmg it takes and sfx when summoned and hit.
Yet again more elements for Lightning Flood.

What would yours be?

Werewolf & Vampire. I mean come on... it is asking for it. Especially considering that Werewolf already has different variants. Ideally, I am not sure if this is not too much to ask for, but...

...An entire "suite" of skill style for Werewolf that would alter every ww skill & sound effects would be a way to add other "were-creatures" (WW ulti style).

Lore wise there are plenty of those. Werebear, werecrocodile, werelion seems to be the most popular ones, aside from Werewolf. It depends on the region.

Green for Templar's Radiant Destruction channeled attack and Yellow for Arcanist's Fatecarver and Remedy Cascade channels would be fun.

i would also love green and turquoise as skill style colours for any skill. they're my favourite colours and they fit the warden skill colours.

no clue if we're even getting skill styles for class skills, but i would also love bear skill styles that gives it the pattern of some mounts like Brindle Bear or Sunback Bear. a white style for the bear would be nice too.

So, Zos declared that upcoming skill styles will not end up on the crown store?
Asking since you've posted this in general discussion.

I'd like to see some violet purple skins for nightblade class skills. A long time ago I saw someone suggest this to reflect a king of Nocturnal/shadow magic based concept, which would be cool, since I bet a lot of people have made a nightblade involved with Nocturnal stuff. For me personally, I just want some purple for one of my nightblades.

I'd also love more model options for Summon Shade. The current model it uses is so old and stiff looking. Different shadow creatures, wraiths, etc would be lovely for this.

they haven't said anything about future skill styles being crown store items.
and as the update 42 skill styles are all earnable from the chapter i think the OP's chosen category is fine

No - during the Amsterdam livestream and developer insight, they announced that future styles will be BOTH earnable and purchasable via the crown store. Not simultaneously though and Rich didn’t seem to go into too much detail with this. Idk if the same styles can be earned and purchased or if it’s going to be one or the other for several styles.

Disappointing considering they already monetized customized actions, but not surprising.

Old jabs, I really miss it

Hurricane needs a small cow and shed whirling around in the wind (not really, but it would be awesome!!)

ArchangelIsraphel · April 30

I'd like to see all of the other weapon skills/skill trees done in "templar gold/white/yellow" so I can lean into the bright gold aesthetic of Templar even more. Bonus points for added floaty gold light motes.

Oh, and also an option to flop to old jabs. I kinda enjoy the sparkly jabs we have, but an option for classic jabs would be welcome too.

(Also all skills in every class and under every skill tree done in pink because it would be hilarious. Yeah yeah I know, come after me with the torches and pitch forks XD )

ZoeliTintanie · April 30

I want whatever this is, plus Sheogoraths butterflies on something else. I don't care on what class or skill, just, give, Zoe the butterflies.

ToRelax · April 30

Ice spikes instead of Shalks.

Enemy-of-Coldharbour · April 30

It would be nice if we could choose our own color change. Maybe with a slider. I saw a streamer review the new system and the new colors are chosen for us and some are so faint you can't tell the difference.

Vaqual · April 30

My dream would be to have alternatives for all the animations that leave weapon glow effects and the ones that hide weapons. Less is more for me.

stybbe17b16_ESO · April 30

Something that replace lightning form so I can see my transmog after all these years.

FabresFour · April 30

1 - A less blue version of Sorc's pets. I think their coldharbour theme is really bad. Using the color pattern of scamps that we can find in the world, for example, would make me very happy.

2 - Replacing Twilight with a Flame Atronach, I think this is possible, if you can somehow make the Flame Atronach animation work at the same time as Twilight's animation

3 - A version of the Nightblade Shadow that actually looks like the player

4 - A reskin for the Necromancer's skeletons, for example.... ZOMBIES!

5 - Skins that don't refer to Morrowind for the Warden, for example, in the Gold Road trailer you can see an NPC using the Warden's skill, throwing a Cliff Strider, but instead of Cliff Strider it's an eagle! Just changing those animals would be insane. For example, can you imagine replacing the beetles that explode from the ground with roots? Or the bear skin for a giant wolf!

6 - A daedric version of the classes... But i THINK that's too much to ask. For example:
An arcanist from Coldharbour, who instead of taking his power from Apocrypha, takes his power from Coldharbour- that's why the color of his magic is blue, instead of tentacles he invokes chains of domination and instead of black goo , azure plasm!

7 - Ultimate of the staff of destruction with purple color, in the same way as the wall of elements would be really cool too!

Maybe if they could add RGB packages for each class, for example:

Nightblade with green or blue skills.

Templar with red, green or blue Skills, etc etc etc

I would like them to be complete packages, that change the entire class. If the idea is to theme the skills, let it be the entire class skill set. (Perhaps like Sea of Thieves does, where you can get the whole package or buy each part separately - but maybe with the full version getting a slight discount compared to buying it separately)

The list of original skills with earnable styles doesn't include class ones but that is an obvious thing people might want.

I noticed in scribing one of the new skills summons your mount.

Trample
Skill Line: Assault
Pierce the air with a shrill whistle, calling your mount forth to trample enemies in a line.

Having opened the door for mounts having being usable in combat, allowing wardens to summon bear or possibly also other animal mounts isn't a big step.

yea i love Trample it's one of my favourite grimoires, it's been so fun to use on pts.

would be wonderful if each class got grimoires in the future too and Warden got another summon

Major_Toughness · May 1

Red Vigor
Purple Path of Darkness
Black Drain Power

I would be super happy to see Warden getting another summon though the recent change and dev note attached to Blue Betty could indicate that they're going to rework it into a combat summon.

Their original, leaked plans for spellcrafting also included several summons so I'm hoping they also make it into scribing.

Since apparently Grim Focus permaglow is here to stay, I would like an option to replace that horrible red glow with black wisps of smoke.

Skill Styles for the Werewolf Transformation skill. Might start out basic with fur color swaps and then expand toward new polymorphs and such for the form.

Erickson9610 wrote: »

The upcoming Skill Styling system can solve one of the problems Werewolf players have — the lack of any customization for their Werewolf form. While I also think Skill Styles could be made for some of Werewolf's other skills, like Hircine's Bounty, I think the greatest potential is found in the ability to swap the fur color of your Werewolf form, and possibly even "polymorph" it.

Take, for instance, some of the existing fur colors that Werewolves across Tamriel can have:

Werewolf's fur color is currently tied to the morph of Werewolf Transformation that you pick — in other words, the cosmetic system is tied to the combat system. As an example, if you wanted your Werewolf form to have white fur, then you are obligated to pick the Pack Leader morph, even if you'd rather play with Werewolf Berserker. If you want brown fur, then you have to use the unmorphed skill. This also means that some fur colors, like gray, are inaccessible to players, due to there only being 3 versions of Werewolf Transformation to choose from.

Also note that some "polymorphs" for Werewolf exist, such as the "undead" and "skeleton" Werewolf models:

It's worth noting that there exists a collectible which changes the fur color of a different Ultimate ability. It's the Slate-Gray Summoned Bear collectible, and it changes the fur color of Feral Guardian and its morphs from brown to gray:

Plus, the functionality to support changing the fur color of Werewolf is already in the game. Because of how the morphs of Werewolf Transformation are distinguished from one another, it's also easy to tell at a glance which kind of Werewolf it is. For instance, this is a Pack Leader Werewolf with brown fur:

So, with all of that out of the way, here's some mock-ups I've made to illustrate how Skill Styles for Werewolf Transformation may look in the UI, using the fur colors of black, brown, gray, and white, as shown earlier in the post.

Werewolf Skill Styles in the Collections Menu:

Selecting a Skill Style for Werewolf Transformation from the Skills Menu:

And finally, here's what the 4 aforementioned Skill Styles might look like in the Skills Menu alongside each morph of Werewolf Transformation.
Werewolf Transformation:
Werewolf Berserker:
Pack Leader:

I would personally love to use gray fur on my main Werewolf character, rather than white or black. It would also be nice to be able to use brown fur without missing out on the benefits of Pack Leader or Werewolf Berserker. Plus, I have some Werewolf characters who have white hair in their human form, and so I'd like to keep their Werewolf fur color as white, despite what build I'm running.

Above all, the option to switch between fur colors at will is important to me — I do this all the time in other games where I can customize the look of my werewolf character. I would buy every available Werewolf Transformation Skill Style just to have some form of customization for the form that I try to maintain. "Werewolf-like" customization options for the human form (like the Werewolf Lord polymorph, the Beast personality, the Sable Man-Beast skin, and so on) are great for when I'm not in Werewolf form, but once I transform, I lose all of that customization. Skill Styling can give Werewolf players the freedom to customize the look of their Werewolf characters where they couldn't before.

Red storm calling and destruction staff skills. Also red recolor of light and heavy attacks.

“Hide effect” option for sorc storm form, dk’s blood and nb’s grim focus

Loralai_907 · May 2

DK whip - in Green.......like in the original cinematic trailer...... -_-

I've been waiting on that since beta launched and I realized there was no green whip lol. First thought with Scribing was FINALLY! But alas, still not a thing.
