Hurricane Skill Style "Sandstorm"

Nemesis7884 · January 23

Looking ahead at the next crown crate season and theme It would be really cool if we could also get a skill style to hurricane that is themed around / makes it look like a sandstorm....which imo would fit the skill really well as well....? just as an idea...

Good idea. However, considering Sorc will be reworked this year, I think it's unnecessary to provide new skill skins for Sorc and Wardne at this stage. We should postpone that until the reworked skills and effects for these two classes are finalized.

After all, even if we have new skill appearances now, if the animations change after the skill rework, the developers might need to create additional skill skins for the reworked skills, which would reduce the resources and time available for the class rework.
I remember the official statement somewhere that modifying animations/effects requires the most resources and time. Therefore, to allow the developers to fully focus on the class rework, I think things unrelated to balance can be postponed.

Only if it plays Darude's "Sandstorm" while it's active. XD

These also help finance the game....and you cant just pause everything for 2+ years until the refresh is "done"

Could also make a Harrowstorm style as well

How about a sandstorm recall?

I would line a new visual to the current hurricane. I actually don't like it. Hopefully the sorc class update will provide a good change, but I don't like not being able to see my character when they go transparent

Actually I would like them to remove the transparent/ghost form completely with rework. If they could find a fun way to convert these skins into a different effect that would be nice.

Agreed, I’m not the biggest fan of abilities that override your customization and in the form of Lightning Form, all of your work dying your outfit.

This is also why I’m not a huge fan of Coagulating Blood in terms of visuals either. Glad that’s being changed with new rework. As for Lightning form, I’m curious to see what that’ll look like. Maybe lightning streaks enveloping your body as your eyes are turned blue? Similar to Thor. We’ve also seen a bit of this in Skyrim.
