Scribing Skill Styles

aspergalas4 · March 14

There any plans to add skill styles to the scribing skills at any point? Would love to be able to customise the banner bearer skill to a different banner design or make shield throw on fire to fit my dk.

While I hope this happens eventually, we still have many skills that don't even have one skill style...

I'm not sure that's possible; scribing skills vary too widely—even within a single grimoire—depending on the specific scripts selected.

i really doubt the possibility of that.
i believe technically every variation of a Grimoire is a different skill

It would be cool, but each Focus script has a different animation for the same grimoire. So to make a purple Skill Style for Elemental Explosion, they'd have to recolor all 9 Focus Scripts for it—or just make one new animation for the Skill Style that looks the same and ignores the Focus Script (much more likely, but still more bugs to test).

I am talking strictly a whole new animation to cover all variations of a given skill. I always approach ideas and suggestions from the perspective we should ask for more of the devs rather than making excuses for them to not do things because they seem more complicated on the surface. They are more than capable, the New Dragonknight skill animations (barring earthspike mantle and molten weapons, both subjective) prove that.

The fact the banner bearer skill is just different colours of a generic flag is bone idle, they should be alliance flags (corresponding to character allegiance) at the very least. Would also love to see the IC Sewer boss flags as a skill style.

I want ESO to reach a point every skill has multiple styles that cover a range of themes, that includes the scribing skills. They should add more scribing skills too while they are at it.

i do believe zos is capable of many things.

But the start of this thread did not mention new skill animations.
Skill styles, so far, have only changed colour and added visual effects. (as far as i know)

And i am not opposed to Grimoire skill styles, i just doubt it due to the difference between them and regular skills.
It would be nice if all active skills had multiple skill styles.

You are usually correct but some of the premium styles do tweak the animation. Grim Focus Malacath's Fury is very different from the normal bow proc animation for the skill for example.
