Will there ever be a 5th class to play?

so ZoS Added a "skill line" where 90% was how to pay less bounty and called that four months of work, do we actually think we're ever going to get something as large as a new Class.

Shallow much? You know damn well that's just a small part of that patch.

Dark brotherhood was also done by the original team,along with thieves guild,plenty of time since then to make a class and add it in.

Their reason for not adding a new class yet is writer's block basically. They don't have any solid ideas yet but once they do they will add it. No ETA though lol

Aye maybe, but tbh I personally doubt it, the backlash from the extremely small percentile of the player base who actually use the forums, would be probably huge.

As I previously stated, they have had 2 odd years and counting and the classes are not balanced, but tbh, its a impossible task, as there are too many opinons, they can never keep the playerbase completely and utterly happy in terms of balancing.

So to add a further class, would be the straw that broke the camels back in a way:P

writers block maybe but i would look at a more pessimistic view and say that most of the development resources is being put into dumbing the game down and into monetizing elder scrolls online.

Not that I wanna give them any ideas,but look at what never winter did with the dragon race.

Yup! More classes will come!

In short..... there are 7 general types of enemy NPCs. Think of how you see NPCs that fight with abilities similar to those of Sorcerers(1), Nightblades(2), Dragonknights(3) and Templars(4).

There are also those who only fight with weapon skills(5), then we have Warden(6) and Necromancer(7).

Wardens are shown by NPCs like Shamans who use lots of green nature magic.

Necromancers are shown off by NPCs who use lots of the light blue/purple necrotic magic, summoning undead. The Worm Cult usually has many of these. Imperial City Prison pits you against the best example we have of Necromancer (Lord Warden's Councel, the Necromancer) soon before fighting Lord Warden,

Necromancer was cut waaay into production. They will likely never become a playable class. Based on the main quest and the theme of playing a necromancer..... I'd say they would be cool but definitely have no chance.

However.....

The Warden was stripped from the game before they allowed players to Alpha/Beta test ESO. Based on an absolutely obvious recent datamine, this class will absolutely return!

Some guy found three new skill lines in the 2.6 PTS, meaning it is very new info. They are titled:
• Winter's Embrace
• Green Balance
• Animal Companions

All three of these skill lines sound very Warden-esque. We also have an obvious lack of Class-based Cold damage.

Warden is returning! My estimate is in like a year or so

Instead of classes, they should add more class based skill lines. I always think of a sorc as an elementalist, so why not add a fire and water/ice related skill line. Probably could figure something out for other classes, night blade as an example, could add a "hunter" related skill line that gives you a permanent pet, along with specific pet abilities. As far as a 5th class, perhaps move dark magic and daedric summoning to a necromancer class. I mean, that's what necromancers do, they hurl dark magic spells and summon undead monsters.

shugg

Warden wasnt the 5th class it was just turned into the templer, zos also put a poll asking on twitter what 2 classes di we want . Necro and frost mage came top by a massive amount , also they did say in an ign interview that new CLASSES will be coming.

Elder Scrolls game should never have fixed class like this. Delete all the class crap, make all skill lines available. And make all builds viable for people to enjoy.

Are you kidding? Did you play any of their games before Oblivion and skyrim? . This is the same mind set that screamed for rewarding solo content and got VMA lol

These are the skill trees for Warden.

Warden is the fifth class. No ETA on release, but that's the situation
• Winter's Embrace
• Green Balance
• Animal Companions

Yes I'm excited

Yeah I agree with this. I always believed that introducing the class system in a TES title was a horrible ideal. And now look at where we are at now? We have whole characters that are pretty much gimped to all hell. We have others that are just disgustingly over powered as all hell. And very little balance between the classes.

I believe this to be the case because this company decided to add class system, in a title of a classless series. If they was to get rid of classes that would open up many avenues. Both, for the devs and players. Now it seems that the company will not even look at try balancing the game. But monetize off their intentional imbalanced tweaks. By rotation which class and build would be imbalanced next.

I truly think if gaming companies would discard, this lazy way of developing MMOs. MMOs may have a future. If they refuse then people will eventually start to completely stop playing any game of the genre. Except for the few P2W MMOs. Where you can short cut the grind with hundreds of USDs.

Remove all classes please make all lines available for all toons imo.

This IMO would be the very risky and drastic change that can and more then likely would put ESO heads and shoulders above all the other competitors of this genre. At the moment it's sad to say. Our only choice is ***, more shittier, or beyond *** show MMOs.

despite how much I want to be a frost mage or a nature based mage(druid) id rather have skill lines than a class but if they add class or skill lines behind a pay wall equals p2w for a lot of people so there idea from years ago for spell crafting would be the best option cause you can trade spells so no dlc required but I doubt spell crafting will be able to get pulled of it would be the biggest task
a big supporter of cp rework why not make cp 70% active abilities and 30% passives and make it actually force people to make choices and specialize and bring in the spells and other stuff in that
