What Skill-line next?

leothedino

Ok, I admit it... I'm a dreamer, I run around in this game and I summon up loads of ideas and (at least what I think) cool skill lines for this game. At the moment? Acrobatics! It's from the single titles and I really missed it in the Skyrim addition. So here is how I think it could work here:

Flanking Leap - Vault over the target and get into position behind them, gaining a damage buff in the process.
Flat Footed - Sweep your leg at an enemy, tripping them and lowering their physical resistance.
Hasty Retreat - Perform a backward flip out of danger (potentials for snare morph perhaps)
Agile Defender - Whilst toggled your stamina drains at X amount/rate, during the active use of this ability your roll dodge becomes visually more exciting (flips, cartwheels etc) and you move 50% further. For having the ability on your bar, passively increase stamina by X amount of %.

Who knows, could have passives that reduce fall damage too or something to do with movement speed etc.

If you guys could implement a skill line, or perhaps would like to see one from the single titles, what would it be?

Combine this with the idea for putting dodge/block/sprint/bash on a different resource bar, and you'd have a very interesting thing indeed.

Ha, maybe a passive? That would be awesome... like, even if that was too sharp to do, you could have an overspill that allow so many extra dodges before it ate your stamina. Maybe a morph for that last ability there. I like it!

All my wants for a good in depth Frost Magic tree

Ice Shard - single target - 15m
Shoot out a frozen shard of Ice from your hands to impale your enemy, dealing X frost damage. Damage is increased by 200% against enemies at 30% health.
Morphs:

• Icicle - Increase range to 28m
• Scatter Shards - Attack will hit 2 additional targets

Cryomedic - Heal - 6 seconds
Soothe the wounds of your allies thru cryomancy, healing them for X over 6 seconds
Morphs:

• Ice Barrier - Reduce damage enemies take by 2% for the duration
• Cryomantic Rememdy - Weaker instant heal.

Summon Ice Wraith - Pet
Summon forth an Ice Wraith that deals X amount of Frost Damage and applying Minor Breech
Morphs:

• Icy Double - Summon a 2nd Ice Wraith
• Ice Fury - Wraith now applies Minor Fracture

Fissure - Ground based AoE - 6m radius
Open up a frozen glacial underneath enemies, freezing them for X frost damage and applying a 50% snare.
Morphs

• Cold Feet - Increase snare to 70%
• Cold Snap - Increase damage

Cold Front - Frontal Cone - 10m
Release a wave of snow before you, rooting them and dealing X Frost Damage
Morphs

• Avalanche - Increase range
• Blizzard - Apply 40% snare

Too lazy to think up passives atm.

Acrobatics or Unarmed would be awesome.

There won't be one for a long time. Since this game is no longer P2P, ZOS has to constantly be focusing on putting out paid DLC. But when there was talk of adding new skill lines to TG or DB people cried "P2W" so now we only get passives. Will ZOS add new active skills someday? Probably. But as long as it is something they can't throw into a DLC, don't expect it to be a high priority for them.

This makes me really sad to see this, because... I can absolutely see your point. It makes so much sense.

I thought at first you were being just pessimistic, but in light I can see why people may think it is P2W. Shame what they don't realise is, that with all these buffs and skills we already have, anything new is simply a different playstyle/way to apply what we can already have. That and a different theme/visual. Shame, I really hope this is not the case for the future, skills need to be added, surely?

Love it. More pets in ESO please, ZoS! This is a good starting point

I think we'll get some more crazy, exciting, and unique passives!

Blitz- Increase damage by x%
Magicka Blitz- Increase magicka damage by x%
Roll Blitz- Increase roll dodge distance by x%
Skill Blitz- Increase the change that passives will be added in the next patch rather than mechanics that can add something of substance by x%

Haha true, maybe I got too excited with recent DLCs... I should think more along the lines of 'magic' or current weapon line ults.

I hoping for alternative skill lines for armor. Like instead of using Leather Armor for Stam DPS instead you can spend points on an alternative path that increases the player dodging for tanking. For Heavy Armor there are skill points where player get's a melee damage bonus 20% of the armor where the player use the weight of the armor as brute strength. Clothes I can't think of anything for it yet.
