What are you doing? Visual examples of skills

[medea_fleecestealer]

As much as we appreciate all these nice new vibrant colors and animations, none of the skills in game are exuding dark theme except yugol procs?

it would be nice to see dark visuals like Dark AAR, black colored FOI, black TSS etc etc… . everything black and, if my memory serves me right we have nothing really oriented to the dark side. maybe some items I missed but nothing from mastery classes?

I guess a proper ‘dark one’ mastery in gd2 is the only solution with a new damage type😢

Yeah, black fxs in a dark dungeon where you can hardly see anything anyway is going to look really great.

fair enough that there is some certain dark arts involved with those skills but woudnt it be nice to also see the visual side of it? Lore is one thing but actually experiencing black is another. Many gd players are mature people who loves black and once you go black you’ll never go back… to using vibrant childish looking skills. hope crate creates more conversion to the dark side or better create a new dark mastery

I think RE looks grusome AF.

Which is why I call my RE spec “the nefarious nipple.”

Bone harvest is actually pretty scary looking too if you think about it.

Blight fiend, hell hound, DEE, sigil of consumption (it’s a mfkn pentagram!)

EDIT: The only lame “dark” skill is transmuted PB. It looks like I’m throwing candy cane at my enemies.

Agreed.

TBH, I think most of the skills are “grim-dark,” even when they are colorful. I mean, compare the fire in GD to D3 and … IDK. At least to me it looks much more nasty, more like a petrol fire than the D3 shiny happy fireballs.

All the greens and blues are pretty unhealthy-for-you looking, too. They do scream poison and pain, at least to me. Except maybe the acid balls and pools?

Anyway, point is, I don’t think that black and red are the only colors possible for grim-dark, myself, despite what the critic says.

if I missed something that should be included here let me know.

…so, I came here looking to be sure that the spinning fire around me was the proc of the Flame Torrent devotion, because I wasn’t 100 percent. Maybe worth adding those, since at least a bunch of them are going to be non-obvious, and commonly used? (PS: thank you! this is a super-useful resource.)
