Reminder: We want a one-handed skill line

Messy1

ZOS Please add a one-handed skill line.

I leave the details to you, but make it cool.

One Hand & Shield and Dual Wield both incorporate one-handed Weapons. Why would you intentionally want a Skill Line where you hold a one-handed Weapon in 1 hand and nothing in the other? lol

You are lacking in imagination . . . One handed skill line "would probably" give you access to a new set of skills that will confer advantages to wielding only one weapon.

I'll like to see new magic weapon skill lines, alteration or necromancy?

No I do understand where you are going with this but who is going to use it when they know it gimps their equipment options? Would have to be some pretty badass skills to sway the meta lol

First of speak for your self please and don't say we.

Second I rather ZOS fix the weapons that are in the game first than add new ones. Such examples being the wrecking blow skill. Another one be sword and shields they are laughable under powered. Yes they are used for defensive style of combat but even then it lacks so much along with heavy armor.

People who use 2handers have the same disadvantages. Not really a heavy gimp. (As I recall, Wrecking Blow is a source of ire.)

I think that's a false dichotomy. There's no reason that they can't add a new weapon skill line to serve as the midpoint or control for the others.

Except 2handers have considerably higher base damage whereas a 1hander by itself would be at quite the DPS disadvantage on its own.

Those punks that throw Javelins at you are actually using a skill. Equipment-wise they use One Hand and Shield if not Two-Handed.

Which would be a valid point if the majority of DPS came from light and heavy attacks and not skills. Lower DPS can be offset by having more flexibility and better defensive advantages.

All I want is a magicka DW variant, something like short staffs/wants with a new skill line.

Atm 2/6 weapon skill lines are magicka based and 4/6 are stamina based, it would be nice for the build diversity to add close range magicka weapons.

In my mind, the 1handed skill line should have a fairly universal application. For instance, heavy attacks would return magicka and stamina but less of each than other weapon lines. (Probably with a high level passive to increase the amount.) There would also be skills that can improve spellpower and weapon damage for followup casting.

I would rather have them fix bugs than add new content at least until they finally do away with the vr system.

Not entirely true.
Yes, they use a skill - but so do anyone doing a shield rush.
Equipment wise they are usually showing one-handed (swords) and a javelin rack on their backs.

Which begs the question - might we get an "One-handed and Ranged" skill line? With offhand ranged options like javelin, throwing knives, hand crossbow, shuriken... could even use some skills already present in other lines, certainly one-handed and shield has two one-handed attacks that could be borrowed...

The other one-handed skill line I'd really love to see would be "One-handed and Magic" with some offhand want/runestone and a mix of elementally charges melee strikes and magic mid.range and AoE attacks...

I'd like to be able to slap mobs about with a wet fish, it would make for a great weapon, give a really worthwhile purpose to fishing, and produce some entertaining dance emotes.

However, I wouldn't go so far as to launch a topic claiming that "we" want it.

Rather make it spears and have like longer meleerange attacks.

I think spears fits more into the 2 handed option just like you can choose between axe and sword in dual wield etc.

Personaly I would love a one handed skill line and I remember the first time i played ESO (april or march last year) that I was kind of dissapointed about not being able to choose the one handed skill line. It would require me a shield to do so. It feels wiered to me a game like this would not implement this considering how it's used in the normal elder scrolls games where you have a one handed weapon in one hand and magic spells in the other. How their "Three fates" characters uses both 2 and 1 handed weapons and one handed weapon in general is very known.

No I don't see that at all. A spear is a weapon completey handled differently than a sword, mace or axe. A spear is made for stabbing and keeping an enemy at a distance. A sword, mace or an axe are meant for slashing, cutting and crushing which you can't really achieve with stabbing especially at a distance.

It could be an unique skill line on its own with different types of spears, like halberts or tridents to just give some examples. It could be a defensive/offensive skill line. Maybe not higher dps than other skill lines but has the ability to keep an enemy at distance or something like that. maybe even make it a supportive skill line.

I'm just thinking out loud here, but I think it could be used pretty effectively. And is far from the same as a sword, mace or axe. 1handed skill line could be cool too, but it would need very strong skills to match with the other weapon skills I think because it just wouldn't make sense that 1 sword is going to hit harder than two swords or one gigantic mace or so.

I've only ever seen a white quick bolt coming from them.No kind of weapon.Just an effect and nothing more.

I'd love a one handed weapon and spell skill line. like I did in Skyrim. Two out of the five skills would be magicka based and their morphs stamina and the other way around with the other three. It could be a very cool flex skill line, mid range with supportive skills for your secondary resource pool. And animations would be awesome

Huh? You do realize that one hand and shield is currently the meta for stam builds? Offering two nice dps skills, a reflect and a major defile/stun skill and even a gap closer. One hand and shield is the best choice of weapon for an aggressive and pressuring combat style.

That would be a start but thats only 1/3 of the issue.

The active DW skills are all stamina/weapon dmg based.

The passives mainly buff stamina/weapon dmg based skills.

The problem is that magicka build only have ranged weapon options, some builds would really benefit having close ranged magicka weapon, magicka DKs and Templars mostly rely on skills that have a short range (Whip and Jabs for example).

TheBull

Sure.

ESO is way past due for active skill lines.
