What Class themed skill styles would you like to see implemented?

Mascen · September 27

Been thinking about this one ever since they switched the OG templar spear for the Nighthollow knockoff we currently have and hen they announced skill styles for Gold Road.

Personally, I wouldnt mind some holiday themed ones like a giant candy cane for the New Life festival, Gingerbread weapons for a DK/sorcerer buff, skeletized haloween bears for wardens or even event themed ones like perhaps a Gold Road style harpy to replace the standard winged twilight.

But what does everyone else think?

Here's 5 ideas for Sacrificial Bones Skill Styles:

...joking aside, we are slated to get some simple recolors for our first batch of Class ability Skill Styles, including one "Warrior" reskin of Summon Winged Twilight. Hopefully we get another Skill Style for Feral Guardian along the lines of the Slate-Gray Summoned Bear Skill Style, like perhaps a polar bear or a black bear.

I want a WHITE warden bear. Not slate gray, just white. We do have them in game, so it would not be too much of a stretch.

Assuming that they do something beyond simple recolors for Class skills, I would like stuff like zombie/mummy/ghost variants for Necro summons, wolf/eagle/senche/deer/etc for some of the Warden Animal Companion skills and more Daedra variants for Sorcs like banekin/hunger/ruinachs/etc.

For non-pet stuff I would like other ''themes'' for some of the skill lines, like for example Warden Winter's Embrace line could be ''Earth themed'' skills instead of frost and Sorc Storm Calling line could be ''Crystal themed'' instead of shock.

I want to see some more totally new skill reworks to replace things like class spammables that rarely get used. Necro's Skulls skill and Wardens Cliff Racer skill are two prime examples.

We are getting a red-colored Skill Style for Flame Skull, though that's only visual. What Skill Style visuals would you propose instead of red for Flame Skull to make it more appealing? Honestly, it doesn't even need to be a skull, but I can't think of anything else a Necromancer would throw to make it feel thematic. Maybe a "soul magic" projectile or something?

If you're referring to actual ability reworks, then that's not something that Skill Styling can do. The Scribing system could probably add new spammables for each Class, but we don't know for sure whether ZOS intends to make Grimoires for each Class — it seems unlikely, given that we have the Class Mastery Signature Script.

i would really like:

- Green skill styles for Warden's Animal Companions skills.

- skill styles for the Feral Guardian for every bear we have in-game as monsters.
Black bear, Arctic bear, Wild hunt/Spriggan bear, Wildburn Spriggan bear, Reefborn bear as examples.

- a Shadowrend style for Sorcerer's Clannfear pet to make it look like Shadowrend or its Shadow proxy.

- backpack style for the Sorcerer's Scamp pet, to make it look like the Undaunted Porter Scamp pet

I want my dk to breathe fire like Shin Godzilla.

ChaoticWings3 · September 28

I wouldn't mind if the dks had a cold fire look to their abilities or a color change for the spike armor and wings.

Other than color changes for the warden and sorc summons (or the wardens animal companion abilities) I'm not too sure what else I could suggest.

Thinking styles that take after various enemies / factions would be cool-

Dark Aeon skins for DKs, green fire with black particles like Kaalgrontiid.

Gloam skins for Nightblades, to lean into a more Nocturnal aesthetic.

For Templar, Mirrormoor themed with glass shards floating around yellow light.

Red lightning for sorcerers, kinda like Harrowstorms

Fire themed skins for Warden, like Firesong Druids

Kinda stuck on Arcanist though, maybe a Psijic theme could work well with the runes and other skill effects.

I could see that being particularly popular for the 2025 undaunted event.

For us templars, we need spears for sure yeah, but also I was thinking a redux of the classic beam to different colors.

Those landbound twilights you can see in Apocrypha are pretty cool. Would that technically count as a skin?

Everything for arcanist, same graphics but in blue. (And red and black.)
