Which class would you like to see added first?

GreenGhostMan

This might be a repeat poll, but I'm interested to see what people think.

Necromancer - abilities centering around reanimating the dead, dark magic, drawing strength from the dead
Druid - abilities focusing on nature spells, temporarily taming beasts, and regrowth spells (possibly a skill tree dedicated to healing)
Monk - abilities focusing on the martial arts, channeling energy and spells controlling the wind

Funny you said that. I had the image of an airbender from avatar in my head when I typed the monk description.

No new classes, many more new skill lines, is my vote.

Fix the current class lines first, before adding more classes.

Men'Do knows his stuff. Came here to say this.

And if I had to pick a skill line to be added, that would be a Bard skill line taught to us by the members of a Bard's guild.

We already have broken skills with 4 classes, I cannot imagine what would happen if you add a new class to the game. First, fix what is broken.

I meant for the poll to be taken as if they were to ever add a class, which one would you want, whenever that may be. Voting no more classes, means you never want to see another class added, even when the others are balanced and not "broken" any longer.

Didn't intend for this to be a complaint thread.

Necromancer

I'd love to see necromancers, but I sort of dread them adding pets with how bad the current ones are.

But a dot and drain class might be interesting (forget the pets).

I think a original EQ style necromancer would be a very interesting addition to the class balance.

I'd only be open to new classes if they actually belonged in Elder Scrolls.

Necromancers are too similar to Nightblades (blood magic, vampiric magic), Sorcerers (demon summoners, dark magic users) and Vampires (drawing strength from the living). Plus necromancy is outlawed in Tamriel. You can make arguments either way but its just too similar to to TWO of the classes in the game.

Druids. While Druids can be found in Tamriel be I would argue that a Druid as a class would be too similar to DragonKnights (earth manipulations spells that heal and provide utiltiy) and also wouldn't fit in between the traditional categories of magick (IMO Earthen Heart is a representation of Alteration Magic in ESO). Without changing the lore, what would druids represent that are not covered by Resto Magick (Templars) and Alteration Magick (DKs)?

Monk. The only monks I know of in Tamriel are the Psijic Order (which are what the Mage's Guild are already based on) and the Moth Priests (and with the rarity, duty, and power of these monks I don't think we should have swarms running around Tamriel). While this idea has some merit I don't know that the monk archetype proliferates Tamriel enough to support that as a class and how would we differentiate them from Templars?

Currently Nightblades are based off of Morag Tong, Dark Brotherhood, Necromancers, Shadowscales, and Illusion Magic.

Dks are based off of the Dragonguard, Alteration Magic, Destro Magic

Templars are based off of the Vigilants of Stendarr, Resto Magic, and various Priest archetypes.

Sorcerers are literally just sorcerers but they get flavours of the deadric summoning culists, evil magic, and destro magic.

The only magic schools not adequately represented in ESO currently are Mysticism and the command portion of Illusion Magic. Find me some lore that supports those ideas and I'll support your idea.

They could have reanimated corpses have extremely low health, but do high damage... And only let you have one corpse reanimated at one time and put a cap on how long it can be reanimated for. Like after 12 sec, it disintegrates. This way, necromancers don't have a ton of corpses running around. Or maybe reanimate a corpse that gets up and runs at enemies and explodes doing physical damage.

But I do agree, even though I voted druid, I think necromancer would be a solid choice.

New skill lines rather than classes. New class skill morphs, maybe even class morphs.

Nightblades are not necromancers.

They use illusion magic, alteration magic, destruction magic, and offensive restoration (formerly mysticism) magic.

They're the "ninja" class.


Necromancers in Elder Scrolls are not ninjas.

Necromancy in Cyrodill is legal, along with daedra worship.

Necromancy is outlawed in the three factions that have invaded Cyrodill but it is tolerated among their "black ops."

Necromancer class would be a problem, lore wise, in Coldharbour. Meridia detests Necromancy. She would have to tolerate your necromancy and resist the urge to kill you. Her followers would try to kill you. Coldharbour is partly in the Colored Rooms. She'd get extremely pissed if you summoned undead there.

You'd have to be a loophole necromancer... like a Dunmer "bone construct" mage or someone that makes dremora-flesh Atronachs.

I'd rather have them fix the ones we have now instead of worrying about balancing/creating a new one.

I still think adding classes at this time in the game would be a bad decision, due to expluding and thus vexing old time players who might feel cheated at not having the classes available during their character generation, especially when one of the new classes might have been a much better fit for a character idea they had way back when...

Thus I would still prefer to see any class changes to be done with some sort of Class Morph - no surprise there, of course.

This is the reason why Necromancy should, in my opinion, only be added as a skill (if ever) and not a class. It could then have a quest about teaching you Necromancy, and explaining why it is okay for you to use it, why you are part of the "exceptions" (a "loophole necromancer", as you put it).

Not for another couple of years, anyway, and then it would take quite a lot of TES research to come up with a suitable class. Plenty of MMOs have necromancers, monks, druids and the like. It doesn't mean that ESO has to have them, now or ever. If a particular class fits into the lore then fine, if not then forget it.

I would prefer never. Does never work? We already have the 4 archetypes, adding another would only introduce way more balancing issues. New skill lines would be great, but a new class should be absolutely off the table. If they ever add a new class they will have officially jumped the shark.

I'm sure if TES added another class that fit the mold of the ones I listed, it would go by a different name and match up with TES lore. I'm not knowledgeable in TES lore, so I didn't know what the appropriate factions or titles would or could be.
