New Weapon Types?

Vaerth · February 2016

Would be awesome to see some polearm / spear type weapons as well as 2H swords, not great swords, 2H swords like *** Swords / hand and a half swords. Just some wishes from me I guess, lol. I loved the 2H weapons in Skyrim, not some much in ESO.

Give me a scythe.

Nothing breaks immersion like my 2H sword disappearing and jabbing epic spears in someone's face and then my 2H appears back in hand.

Need spears

Agreed, it REALLY bothers me that I am dual wielding on my NB and when I use Ambush, I get those "energy" blades instead of using my swords. Or I use Killer's Blade and Concealed Weapon, boom, red energy blade and my dual swords disappear. ESO wants to get immersion right then it should allow more weapons, weapons not disappearing, and to have the option to show both weapons at one time.

Example: Bow and 2H on back, Bow on back DW on hip, Shield on back bow under on back as well. Etc.

I would love to see a ball and chain flail, but imagine that the animation would be a pain and contribute to...lordt I don't even want to say it on these forums these days...lag.

Scythes look ridiculously cool, but really are impractical weapons. =P Most scythes in game tend to be more polearm than actual Scythe.

Spears were the most practical weapon, and most used, in ground warfare before the invention of gunpowder, yet they are suspiciously absent. ZOS doesn't care about practicality.

Speakers, polearms, halbergs, bardiche... weapons like that could fit in. And yes, I agree practicality doesn't always fit into game design, but practicality in usage generally does.

Mm, like my Reaper Shroud in gw2!

Iove · February 2016

How about Daedric Artifacts!?

The could have the same status and difficulty to obtain as Legendary weapons in other games. They could be crafted like in gw2 or something

At last, some new unique skins in the game!

Sparky617 · February 2016

100% agree with the pole arms, but something else that I would like to see is off hand slot items for two handed weapons so that we can have the same set bonuses that DW and s&b get. Scabbards for 2h, quiver for bow, charms for staff. They could even work it into Jewelry crafting along with rings and necklaces.

I would like this as well, and i'm sure the animations won't be too difficult. It is possible to connect the spear to the two handed, but also possible to create an entirely new skill line

Aquanova · February 2016

For my magicka toons, I'd like to have DW wands. I think it's wrong that we have to DW swords for extra spell dmg and an added set bonus.WINGARDIUM LEVIOSA

Faulgor · February 2016

We've been asking for spears back since Oblivion. There's something about them that makes developers hate to put them into a game, but I just don't know what it is.

TheShadowScout · February 2016

It has been mentioned a couple times...
Yes, indeed, a "polearm" weapon line would be a great addition to ESO! Who here hasn't seen the fight between Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane and Oberyn "Red Viper" Martell and though "oh, boy, wish I would play a medium-armor polearm wielder -like that- in ESO..." (Yeah, sure, he lost in the end... through a brawling move no less, But it was a nifty fight!)
Give us breton glaives, dwemer halberds, imperial pikes, maormer tridents, akaviri naginata, nord poleaxes, redguard fauchards, bosmer hunting spears, barbaric military forks, daedric war scythes, dunmer spetums, khajiit monk's spades, altmer ranseurs, orc bec de corbins, ancient elf partizans, argonian billhooks, whatever.
Some animations from the aedric spear line could very well be recycled for this... - jabs, charge, sweep, certainly... it could be a medium-range weapon that does full damage ar a longer then "usual melee distance", but only half damage at knife range, making it just perfect for attacking from behins a meatshield... uhm, I mean, tanky player

kirk_lewis_ESO · February 2016

I want scythes that I can split into two separate scythes. Would be cool to take advantage of two weapon skill trees on the fly.

mistermutiny89 · February 2016

Magicka chakrams would be amazing (you could use them in Kingdoms of Amalur), or spectral daggers? Seriously just anything other than a freaking staff or wand.

Bossdonut · February 2016

Shotguns

Kyoma · February 2016

Phasers!!

Inarre · February 2016

I would like an old school cannon. Oh wait....

Abeille · February 2016

I would like Bound Dual-Wield weapons for some melee magic damage, or equippable spells (like, equipping spells like they were weapons, on the weapon slot). Unfortunately, these would have to be actual weapons that must be dropped/crafted, improved and enchanted like any other weapon, even if it doesn't make sense, in the name of balance. I would still take them even so.

Bossdonut · February 2016

Actually bound weapons would be pretty cool. Might make stam sorc better.

BullNetch · February 2016

chakrams/glaves

nunchuks ... imported from Akavir

batons/escrima sticks

spears

MickeyBN · February 2016

I've always wanted Spears to be acquirable in the MMOs I've played, its my ultimate fantasy weapon (not to mention the most effective and practical weapon throughout history).

WoW has them, but are basically cosmetic and rarely used, and use generic attack animations. GW2 has them but are limited to underwater combat, so useless in other words.

ESOs use of spears is limited purely to a Templars jab spell. The animations wouldn't be that hard to implement they practically exist anyway and surely wouldn't be too difficult for ZOS to add into the game.

Two handed skill line has Swords/Axes/Hammers...why not spear? Mankind has been using spears since the dawn of time...literally!

Crossbow please.And before anyone talks about it being lore breaking,there are crossbows in Morrowind.
(and I dont mean those little single handed wrist bows the DKs have either)

PhatGrimReaper · February 2016

How about a 2 Handed Shield for Supertanking? - Just for trolls and lols in PVP

Mojmir · February 2016

throwing axes, morning stars,polearms,actual quarterstaff(not a magic staff), and the *** glaive from KRULL!!
