Would you like to have spears/lances in ESO?

Lord_Chonus

I would like to be able to have my toon carry a spear/lance. I even think it could have its own skill tree

milesrodneymcneely2_ESO

Yes

Should have been in at launch.

At the very least, add them to the 2HD line and use the animations from the Templar's Aedric Spear skill line.

Do it, ZOS.

Do. It.

Ffastyl

Yes

Spears were there in TESIII: Morrowind, and removed in TESIV: Oblivion. They stayed removed in TESV: Skyrim and ESO used TESIV and TESV as primary references.

NewBlacksmurf

No

Already do...just roll a Templar.

As far as weapons....no thanks

TheShadowScout

Yes

YES!

And I would want both a "Polearm" skill tree (which might as well 'borrow' half its animations from the templaes "Aedric Spear" skill line) for wielding pikes, halberds, glaives, spetums, tridents, etc.; and a "Lancier" skill that allows to use the same weapons on horseback...

CherryCake

Yes

Yes definitely!!! I was always wondering why they didnt include them as weapons.

GreenSoup2HoT

Yes

I dont know anyone who would say no to this. I would love a polearm skill line.

Glaiceana

Yes

I wouldn't use them, but sure why not? I know plenty of people would love to have spears and lances.

Deadfinger6

Spears yes, ball and chain "Yesser"

Marcosyn11

Yes

They were in Morrowind. A polearm skill line would bring more options in terms of character building into the game, and it would be fun.

Lynx7386

Yes

I had a post about this way back during beta, polearms should have been in at launch

gw2only1b14_ESO

We have them its in your skills no need to add in..

shadowwraith666

Yes

Yes, in fact add in other polearm weapons as well.

Glaiceana

Yes

Speaking of lances, that reminds me about mount combat. If they added them it would be nice if they did a complete overhaul to mounts, allowing you to fight from them, using lances, your bows, even swords. It would add a whole new dynamic to fighting. Being knocked off your mount will still happen, and it would give more reason to put points into mount stamina, so you can fight from up there for longer.

khele23eb17_ESO

Id rather they added a ranged stam weapon and a melee magicka weapon... or one that isnt a staff at least.

Marktoneth3

Yes

Yes so we can Jab Jab all days all nights

captainwolfos

Yes

They could be either one or two handed, and have them paired with the current 2-handed or sword and board skill line, just have different passives for the weapon type. Some of the staff animations would pair pretty well with them, too.

I've been wanting spears since launch, man.

AfkNinja

Yes

Yes. #Always

1hand/2hand Swords = +dmg
1hand/2hand Axes = Bleeds
dagger = +Crit Chance
1hand/2hand Spear = +Crit Dmg

Yes, please.

Thornen

Yes

Yes but they would need their own skill line.

Morimizo

Yes

Though Sheogorath hath purged Nirn of all corporeal polearms, the Mad One can always change his mind in a fit of apathy, adding a weapon skill line, perhaps accompanying an Imperial Legion DLC.

Or maybe he won't.

How about throwing cheese wedges like shuriken? Combine with fire for a "slows movement speed by 50% effect."

idk

No

Already have a spear and it has been in game for 2 years.

Seriously though, the OP seems to actually mean a spear weapon line and do that I saw it is certainly keep not needed and would not add much to the game.

Lynx7386

Yes

Not necessarily, they'd fit just fine with 2h if zos could create separate animations based on weapon type.

Problem is we've got lazy devs and the entire game is governed by how many crowns something can reel in now.

imapogostick

Yes

Been waiting for my spear for my argonian since morrowind3

UrQuan

Yes

Whether it's an additional item added to existing skill lines (two-handed skill line, and maybe a short spear for the dual wield and one-hand & shield skill lines), or a brand new weapon skill line I'd like to see spears/polearms. They're by far the most common weapon class throughout history, and they've been in other TES games.

Saturn

Yes

It fits well with the lore and Morrowind had spears as well if I remember correctly. Every time I hear about spears in TES games it reminds me of the Snow Prince story found in the Fall of the Snow Prince book in Skyrim/Oblivion/Morrowind.

"The Snow Prince is come! Doom is at hand!"

There was then a great calm that overcame the Elves that still stood. Through their mass the Snow Prince did ride, and as a longboat slices the icy waters of the Fjalding he parted the ranks of his kin. The magnificent white horse slowed to a gallop, then a trot, and the unknown Elf rider moved to the front of the line at a slow, almost ghostlike pace.

Like a sudden, violent snow squall that rends travelers blind and threatens to tear loose the very foundations of the sturdiest hall, the Snow Prince did sweep into our numbers. Indeed the ice and snow did begin to swirl and churn about the Elf, as if called upon to serve his bidding. The spinning of that gleaming spear whistled a dirge to all those who would stand in the way of the Snow Prince, and our mightiest fell before him that day. Ulfgi Anvil-Hand, Strom the White, Freida Oaken-Wand, Heimdall the Frenzied. All lay dead at the foot of the Moesring Mountains.

Lynx7386

Yes

Reminds me of the story about an armorer contest where an argonian in cheap scale with a spear beats a redguard in ebony armor with a fancy sword.

idk

No

There would be no point if it was just a modified 2H. The person you quoted is correct that a new skill like would need to be developed.
