Any new classes coming in 2016?

Rebel230

Necromancer?
Warlock?

Anything?

There will never be another class nor should there be. There are plenty of problems with just the four. In two years to get here... where we are ATM lmao.

Alucardo

They are still balancing the four they have, so I highly doubt it.

Lightninvash

Its like any mmo(in my experience) they have balancing issues then decide well we cant balance the issues so lets throw in 1-2 more classes and have those ones balance out the current issues(that's what I normally see happen.) so who knows.

Katahdin

I hope not. We have enough classes and enough issues with them as it is.

Agreed. I think the backlash would be pretty bad if they announced new classes while there are issues still to resolve.

Again for the last time no.

Why should ZOS add new classes when the 4 already in the game are broken, imbalanced, useless, one sided, and so on?

Seriously to any one wanting new classes answer that question then you can post till your heart contains abut adding new classes. Till then please stop asking thank you.

well they've already got another class but they withdrew that class, so I imagine eventually new classes will come but in 2016 who knows,

warden class

LOL just read the description

However, the class was alleged to be more “nature oriented,” and didn’t possess the Templar’s tanking or damage capabilities.

No wonder it got scrapped. Jesus christ.

I'd be guessing, but when and if they release an expansion (a full expansion pack) they will likely have to add a new class.

So many "New Class" threads. If they will add anything new it will just be new skill lines in my opinion. Or as I have seen before a class morph which I think is a great idea and the better way to go. My apologies for not remembering who made the thread but anyway if they did add a new class I don't think necromancer would be one because that would go against the story of the game where you are fighting against the necromancers. However they could add a Necromancy skill line that could work with the justice system such that if you are caught using necromancy you get a bounty put on you. That will be very difficult however and probably won't work. And if they added any other new classes it would involve a lot more balancing and I can see a lot of angry people for multiple reasons. A few being things like having all 8 character slots filled and having to delete one to make a new character with the new class. Another being balance issues that might arise. So as of right now I don't think they will release new classes nor do they have plans to. At least not in the near future. I am all for adding another class but it is not something that is needed in the game right now. Once we reach a point where classes are pretty balanced and everything is going smoothly (at least on the PvP end) then the Devs can start thinking about new classes but until then they should focus on the classes that are already in the game. So those are my beliefs. Feel free to argue any points I had a give other suggestions. Just please keep it civil.

The problem is, the 4 classes wont be balanced in 5 more years. So anybody thinking ZOS will balance them if they just stay with 4 is hilarious. Having only 4 classes isnt that acceptable to me, Yes i know you have other skill lines which adds to it but i think there should have been 6 classes at launch.

yeah pure healer class haha

Each of the classes can be played in 2 or 3 different ways at least. So while there may be 4 class titles, there is a great variety of builds to chose from.

How about: Some people don't care and have never been affected by any issues with class balance. I couldn't care less about it. It has never affected my ability to enjoy the game. For me, the game is becoming a little stale and new classes or skill lines that aren't just passives would add some much needed variety and freshness to the game.

I'm not saying the balance issues don't exist but for me they simply aren't a priority or that important. Obviously to you and others they are. And I respect that. But for some us having new skills/classes is more important. Each to his own.

Funny how people keep demanding only new skill lines. Well we have a few new ones here: Legerdemain and now the upcoming Thieves Guild one - both completely dedicated to helping make little mini-games easier and pretty much useless outside of that. It also seems like any upcoming Skill Lines associated with DLC will continue to be that way to prevent any 'P2W' accusations.

I know many wish it was totally open when it comes to skills/builds, but ZOS chose to go the route of the standard MMORPG with a class system. When the timesink of Veteran Levels is gone and the CP cap is easier to achieve than before, they will need something to keep players interested after they hit 50 and max out their characters. 4 classes is just not enough when you compare it to the competition out there.

I completely agree. I've said this in other threads, 4 classes is way to few for a modern MMO.

its gonna be a Dps Tank the SorcNBDragonleap

Well, there are 3 classes already. Also if you want something fresh, then you could try templar beta-class.
It's still buggy and broken like any other beta stuff, but they are working on it right now....oh, wait.

giff2830_ESO

I'm extremely hopeful for new skill lines. Very soon hopefully. Just give me a necro line!

People looking for balance....it's never going to happen, ever, in any game. All the companies will always try to do there best, but when min/maxer's exist, they will always find the flaw in the system, and so on and so on. I love the elder scrolls universe so it's my main MMO, but it sure is nice to go play some PVE mmo's where roles are important and there isn't all this constant balance bickering(though some does still exist).

Now, about that lag.......different discussion.

The only REAL problem with the current 4 classes are the people whinning and crying on these forums.

TheShadowScout

Like I always post when this topic comes up... I believe new classes at this point would be a suboptimal decision, as while it might please newcomers, it would certainly vex old hands on account of "Why was this class not available back when I made my eight characters, it'd have been so much better for this character idea..." and so on.

The better alternative might be... Class Morphs! Yeah, of course I would link to my old idea again! After all, I always do, no surprise there...

Anyways, if any "new classes" were done via class morphs, as in, the old classes with an special added skill line (and possible some effect color shifts for more visual varietee), then everyone could have "new classes" and with additional choices too (I had my idea at three options per class - like the saying goes, one choice is no choice, two choices are a dilemma, three choices is where freedom starts - no reason there couldn't be more too though)

Class morphs! (need to finish the examples for the other classes someday)

i agree they need to fix the classes we have, but ffs its stale as hell with only the 4 we have. besides its the same skills being spammed over and over.

I take it you've never played a templar. If you have and you still stand by that statement...for shame.

That's probably because you don't PvP. I have said it before but I'll say it again.. the real problem is PvP. PvP ruins everything and it's why we can't have nice things. OH NO..someone will be OP if we change/add this so we can't do that!

If the PvP crowd gets their way ESO will get the GW2 treatment with 4 classes that all do the same thing but with different animations/spell effects so everything is "balanced". No itemization, either. We wouldn't want someone at a disadvantage because of gear! But don't worry..they will give each class a different looking hat for "flavor" (cosmetic only of course).

I do really want a wereshark transformation.

Honestly I hope they never add new classes. New skill lines and weapon variety, yes. Classes, no. And its not because of balance either, I just think that while ESO has no needs for any more.

If they want to add more skill lines (necromancer, druid, shaman, whatever), then they can add it in ESO as world/weapon/gear/affliction/affiliation skill lines. Preferably as part of a quest line or a story-acknowledged affiliation (your a shaman? Help us out with this haunted forest, it is filled with senche and Spriggans!).
