Can someone please post a video of Fatecarver: Aetherius?

Soarora · December 2025

Once again, it's impossible to properly see what the skill style looks like before purchasing. I found a video but the camera is behind the caster so you can't actually see the beam.

One order of Fatcarver: Aetherius aka Fatecarver Purple, coming right up!

Fischblut · December 2025

I like this skill style, but not "2000 crowns" like :'(
Fatecarver is the most mild skill which we can see from other dds in our groups, so I don't understand complaints about it at all.
If I knew that other people can't see my skill style, I would never buy it

It the reason why I ignore very cool Winter-themed skill styles currently in store - they are not shown if we select to hide ally effects.

Here is how new Fatecarver style looks for other people, pretty cool with those cosmic particles!

In actual fight:

Don't have a video but it's just a purple beam. That and it makes a slightly different (and imo more pleasant) sound.

Necrotech_Master · December 2025

im not a huge fan of the color, but i do like the new sound effect lol

The colouring looks interesting, almost void-like with a touch of arcane.

Unfortunately I can't really see where it fits into any of the class sub-themes though, it's just slightly too purple and cloudy for Sorc's "Dark Magic" that is more bluish and crystal themed and no other class outside of NB skill styles really has any purple theming for their skills (NB skill styles are more black with a faint purple tinge than the full purple shown here).

Many thanks! It's not exactly what I thought it'd be but it's quite pretty, I think I'll end up getting it. The dark bit right in front of the player is a little weird but I know ZOS can only do so much with a recolor.

Arcanist's alternate color is actually pretty similar (I actually use purple wall of elements on my arcanist instead of green for this reason). I might use it on my arcanist for a bit before swapping back to green but I think it'd look great on my Meridia-themed Vestige if I ever give her fatecarver for some reason (I'm leaning more into the Colored Rooms colors instead of white and gold as a way of showing the dark side of Meridia).

Think this one might actually be easier on the eyes. Although hard tell from a video.

everyone knows, purple always wins

LunaFlora · December 2025

beautiful new Fatecarver style

SkaiFaith · December 2025

They really need to fix the previews for new skill styles they add; we shouldn't have to ask someone to post a video every time.

Skill styles are cool, but I'm tired of purchasing them without knowing what I'll get.

Malyore · December 2025

Thanks for the video, I also needed one for the same reason. Are these styles not available with Endeavors?

Endeavors are only good for Crown Crate items. The styles are Crown Purchase items but not Crown Crate items.

YandereGirlfriend · December 2025

I've resisted adding Herald to my Sorc DD but this style might make me change that.

Yeah, I had abandoned Fatecarver on my main since it performs better without, but I am now bringing it back in just because it's cool XD (being Oakensoul user with subclassing and scribing makes skill choice really hard)

opaj · December 2025

Oof. The character I was considering this for does a lot of questing in first-person. I'm a bit worried about visibility with this style, even though it looks amazing.

And lose out on $20 to change the color of a skill, no chance.

Is this visible if someone has "Show Ally Effects" turned off, because I know the blue one is visible regardless, and that purple is going to wreck havoc with my eyes?

@ZOS_Kevin There have been many posts about being able to turn off visual effects. If ZOS are not going to do that, then at least put skill styles behind the "Show Ally Effects". My eyes > ZOS selling crowns.

Yes, it's fully visible with the setting turned off. The green beam looks thinner and lighter, but purple ones are full blast with snow particle effects. It's obnoxious.

Ugh! I'm going to step away from this thread before I get a forum ban ...!

I have show ally effects off and the purple aetherius beam looks effectively just as muted as the green and blue beams do.

Far as I'm concerned, this crown sale beam is bugged. Why? Because while the color and sound are subjective to personal taste, the lack of laser-pointer like beam is functionally lacking vs default beam.

Default beam - area effect animation around front of char + green beam clearly visible through the mobs you are hitting (e.g. laser pointer effect)

This purple beam for 2k crowns - area effect animation around front of char + no visible laser pointer purple beam (to the player). The beam is clearly visible to other players, but from pov of player firing this purple beam, it's only visible as a laser pointer when you point high angle down or up - straight ahead, all you see is the area effect animation.

True - you don't see where you are hitting. (I play in third person with camera near character)

I would really like to point out that during the time of year that it was on sale, a lot of us travel and for something so wanted I think it should be considered that the skill style goes on sale a little more often. The same should probably be said for other skill styles as well. You can't really make money from purchases people want to make when they're not available

I'm surprised there isn't a crown store website that you can purchase from directly to your ESO account while you're on vacation.

Even though im "beamed out" and never want to hear about or have to be an Arcanist again for the rest of my Eso career (or any of its skill lines since last summer) this was a needed skill style because the beam is literally EVERYWHERE. The blue one was still pretty bad but better than green. The purple one definitely looks better, though I do wish we could actually see where we are aiming it. Hopefully they dont add a beam to the Warden (please no more beams!)

To my knowledge, they are adding a beam/channel option to every class, and I think it's the right way to go so that not so many people are wanting to multiclass into arcanist for the aoe damage.

I'm excited for sorcerer to get one.

Fallout 76 does a thing where there is a huge list of items on the CS website. You go to the site and submit your account and choose what you want from the drop down menu. They will take the cash shop currency from your account and grant you the items. The caveat is that you pay full price (in their version of the store, things are often "on sale") I've long thought this system could be great in ESO.

"We also realize that many of you have expressed the desire to be able to enjoy the game at a slower pace – and as we’ve introduced similar attacks into higher levels of play with Heavy Attack builds and Fatecarver, we want to make sure there are more flavors to this experience, each with their own distinctions in how you build and play. This morph won’t bring the same heat as either of those builds alone, but it should help take some pressure off constantly needing to press down the gas pedal (buttons)."

Taken from the dev note in the dragonknight refresh patch notes. Looking back at the post, it seems like it might not be an aoe for every class, but rather they are looking at ways to introduce slower gameplay options.
I pressume (and hope) since the dragonknights implemention of this is a channeled aoe direct damage multi-tics/second, like fatecarver, that it will become an option for most classes.
