Spell Crafting - What's your First Priority ! ?

Phantax

Well as we all now by now Spell Crafting is coming. Personally it's something I've really been looking forward to, especially since the Quakecon announcement and we now know more about it.

Of course it's going to take some time to learn and master the various schools (any longevity in an MMO is good) BUT... what is the first thing you are going to work towards ? ? ?

For me its definitely going to be Conjuration, a new minion to replace my Clanfear.
As my characters persona is quite dark and thanks to the new dye system his appearance will soon be too. I need a pet/minion that's a little more fear inspiring !

So... what school/spell will you work towards first ???

As a Dragon Knight hopefully I can make some better healing spells.

I don't know. I haven't even thought about this. It will just push me further away from a stamina build, which makes me sad.

Not sure if we can make buffs, but a better magicka regen buff/spell would be nice.

Summon daedra of course.

Followed by:

Add 3000 to all protections.
Fly
Water walk
Invisibility (prolonged)

Link? I would like to read this spell crafting you are talking about.

Hypertionb14_ESO

I always used Pets in previous TES games, then switched to either melee and joined them or if i summoned ranged pets, joined them in lobbing ranged attacks.

babylon

Any "polymorph target" spell I think...hoping for chicken.

Enkil

Destruction...

MrDenimChicken

^^yeah I want a destruction spell. Tired of using crystal shard. I just hope we won't have to do the same "jazz hands" motion to cast fireballs or ice lances.

Water walk, levitation, new summons, and a massive explosion that will kill every NPC in town (i know that wont be possible but still)

For me, I'll be looking at restoration based stuff first... but it all looks cool, so overtime I'd say ALL OF IT!!!

EDIT: Starting at 52:45 for Spellcrafting in the vid... oops

I would just copy all the spells from MM7.

Anything and everything Frost. I so wanted to be a frost tank like I was in Skyrim wearing plate and freezing everything. However having it tied to the staff and pretty much needing a shield to tank in vet put that dream on hold. Since spell crafting seems to use the three elements, if I can fill my hotbar with frosty tank like spells, I'll never leave.

Daethz

Aslong as the "Spell" crafting system has Stamina/melee based building aswell.
Id like to be some sort of extreme fiery bersker dualwield DK, id like to be able to charge or jump to enemies and bash them in but be a powerful glass cannon.

kimboh

Conjuring new creatures/daedra, but I'm sure there will be some unexpected surprises once you start to experiment with things like alteration and illusion.

Thanks you! Here's to hoping for a necromancer type skill line..

Liquid_Time

Some better gap closers would be nice. Also, a nice offensive spell for the retro staff. Would be even better if said spell took resources from my stamina, so I can be an offensive healer with great uptime.

Natjur

Templar with a summoned pet....

Zabus

My first priority will be to craft spells that can be used in a stamina build (example: mana to stam) just to prove that spell crafting is not just for mages.

What I want to do is make people realize is that spell crafting is just a name, and by no means is it something only mages can make proper use of.

There will most likely be loads of spells that buff up stamina builds, things possibly such as increase weapon damage or armor resistance etc.

Nysticc

I'm gonna add endurance to my dark cloak! stealth forever!

Mataata

Illusion and Conjuration were always my favorites. I'd like to see more temporary summon spells, like maybe a Daedroth or other types of Atronachs. Illusion spells for prolonged invisibility or causing an enemy to be frenzied and attack its allies would be great too.

These spells aren't "for" any weapon line, they function as class abilities do.

I guess I should have said.. "something that would work well with my restro staff that used stamina." I didn't mean a spell from the resto weapon line. Just one that I could use effective that only pulled from my stamina.

Sorry, but thanks for the info either way

While I think spell crafting is a great idea and I'm really looking forward to it, it does seem like they are pushing everyone towards skirts and sticks.

Archaole

Destruction and alteration. Restoration and conjuration will be nice while illusion will be solely for the sneaky/evil characters. But I really miss being able to summon a daedroth. By far my fav daedra.

Limbus

A charm spell would kick ass

Lord_Hev

To get all conjuration spells... And make them set-duration... free myself of sorc useless toggles

PBpsy

I can only dream of Frenzy and Command type classic TES spells. That would make the ESO Nightblade a true Nightblade. I doubt that will happen, And of course I want to shoot fire from my hands.

Phantax

I'm liking a lot of peoples ideas. Looks like Zenimax will get their wish and have spellcrafting create a massive diversity of builds.
Been thinking that as well as a new minion it might be nice to have a good snare/crowd control spell so they cant escape as my minion eats them lo

Epona222

My first priority is to see what other people come up with and copy whatever looks good.

I am not a very creative person
