So currently we can only use Destruction Staff(Shield and Bow in some situations) for endgame and comeptitive content.
I would like to see the following weapon types added to the game:
  • Dual Wield
  • Twohand

This is the first mmo I have ever seen that dosent have melee weapons.


No, they are not in the game if you cant even complete veteran level quests with them because they are so terrible compared to destruction staff. 2014 Missile Cruiser(Destruction Staff) v Rotting Wooden Raft(Melee weapons), who wins?

    Idk, I've been able to complete most of Glenumbra using my bow and dual wielding. It might help that I'm a Nightblade though and I don't use weapon abilities exclusively =/

    I have managed to get to v9(almost v10) using them, however as I have routinely see people with destruction staffs have(and have had) None of the issues I am having with difficulty.

    Any damage chart can show you the horrible imbalance.
    If this game had WoW's community you would have ~4 million angry subscribers right now. Because mages and warlocks would be doing 5-10x more damage than melee classes.

    And most players are also "Sorcerers", because regardless of class most people are using destruction staff.

    My nightblade recently started dual wielding at VR9 to level it up. Not having a problem, outside of having to learn how the abilities sync. Enemies are still dying, just like they did with my bow. Faster, at that.

    If you cannot complete VR content after the recent nerf, even the higher level content and VR dungeons, there is more wrong with the player than the game. Sure, they could use buffs, but being underpowered doesn't mean the same as non-functional.

    Trials, I will admit, are a different matter. Not that the trials cannot be completed, simply that they cannot be competitive at the moment. But on the PvP end, DW and Two-Hand nightblades are doing amazing things out there.
    Ruze Aulus. Mayor of Dhalmora. Archer, hunter, assassin. Nightblade.
    Gral. Mountain Terror. Barbarian, marauder, murderer. Nightblade.
    Na'Djin. Knight-Blade. Knight, vanguard, defender. Nightblade.

    XBOX NA
    Ruze is a veteran of the PC Beta, lived through the year one drought, survived the buy-to-play conversion, and has stepped foot in the hells known as Craglorn. He mained a nightlbade when nightblades weren't good, and has never worn a robe. He converted from PC during the console betas, and hasn't regretted it a moment since.

    He'd rank ESO:TU (in it's current state) a 4.8 out of 5, loving the game almost entirely.

    This is an multiplayer game. I should be able to log in, join a dungeon, join a battleground, queue for a dolmen or world boss or delve, teleport in, play for 20 minutes, and not worry about getting kicked, failing to join, having perfect voice coms, or being unable to complete content because someone's lagging behind. Group Finder and matchmaking is broken. Take a note from Destiny and build a system that allows from drop-in/drop-out functionality and quick play.

    Yet im guessing Dual Wielding DK's are the weakest possible class + weapon combination in the game.

    I have tried several changes to my rotations, Storm Atronarches are still impossible.
    Ice Atronarches are still nearly impossible (Cant kill without atleast one ultimate already ready to use).

    Whilas someone with a destrostaff would burn right through them with time to spare.

    I doubt very much that modern missile cruiser will be able to target the stupid wooden raft :smile: So raft wins for me!

    Shooting the water near it would create enough shockwaves to break apart the rotting wooden raft. :wink:
