If each class were to receive a new skill line, what would it be?

subtlezeroub17_ESO

Sorcerers would definitely receive a frost damage skill line with a blizzard ultimate. I would love to see a more combo focused frost line.

Dragon knights I can see having a ranged earth DPS line. Like earthen heart but instead called earthen fury with nature spells.

Templars are a hard one. They already have magical melee,ranged, healer and tank all in one. So idk.

Night blades could finally get the necromancy line everyone craves so bad and it fits the theme of NB with shadow magic of sinister origins.

No, you got it wrong.

Sorcerers are necromancers.

Dragonknights use akaviri abilitys, so maybe a tang mo melee skill line.

Templars use light magic, a new light skill line.

Nightblades are illusionists, a illusionist skill line.

the thing is night blades already have a drain health line that would synergize well with necromancer and sorcs already have a pet summon line.. so I could see nightblades getting a necro skill line as its a taboo line of magic and does in some way make sense for them to have it.

Sorc though getting a illusionist line though would work maybe something more close range focused... or frost..

Dragon knights need something ranged not another melee skill line.... maybe sotto shouts for debuffs and ice... there were ice dragons right?

Templars... also they could be illusionists as well.. you know the whole bending of light...

mertusta

Cancer skill line for templar pls.

Templars being a holyish class can call upon the aedra for assistance in battle. Maybe summon an aedra's power to create different spells and effects. I imagine hearing a gods booming voice come from the heavens while he/she is called upon.

Sorcerers I agree with necromancy or be the opposite of templars with the ability to summon daedric (evil ones) princes to aid them. Summoning necromancy I imagine hearing lots of croacking and sounds of death rattles when their power is unleashed. I want to hear sounds of possession.

Dragonknights.. I would think they would have dragon blood right? Isn't one of their class passives called green dragon blood or something of the sort? They should have a thu'um skill line like skyrim.

Lastly nightblades.
Some type of illusion skilline. Maybe a trickster skill line like Houdini lol. I don't know anything for them.

brandonv516

Nightblades?
Necromancy.

Classes don't need another skill line. The global skill line does.
Adding another class only skill line is a HUGE balance question.

• Necromancy sounds awesome as choice between WW, "human" and Vampire.
• Unarmed and unarmored "weapon" skill line, is another.
• Crossbow and Halberd (Long spears) (spelling?) as new weapon skill lines.

Perhaps 2 new classes. Monk and Illusionist?

The skill bar combat system and the fact that we need to CHOOSE setup, helps tons with balance and prevent that you only need to get X gear to get "better".

I love the skill bar system. More choices means more variations and "classes".

4th SKILL LINE HYPE!

subtlezeroub17_ESO

If anything...just give sorc a frozen line. They were destined for ice magic!

I think we need what you'd theme necromancy.

Even if necromancy will never happen as it does not fit thematically.

Ice ice baby.

I don't care for each class, although Sorcerer would be best so I wouldn't have to reroll. But definitely ice magic skill line, if we can't have an ice-focused class.

Would rather have ZOS add the Warden class early! You know, the fifth class they removed even before Alpha? It's coming back. The skill lines were recently datamined!

Warden
• Winter's Embrace
• Green Balance
• Animal Companions

Confirmed! ...... but no ETA on release. my guess is within 6-12 months

So I take it this is a nature class? Green balance.. Command plants? Lol. Animal companions speak for themselves. And Winter's embrace would be what frost skill line?

All of the the typical NPCs we fight in ESO are based off of player classes. They have very small skill sets though.

We see many Sorcs, DKs, NBs, Templars, and NPCs who use only weapons.

Then we see Wardens, the "green" class. You find many Wardens named as Rangers or Shamans with powers that are almost identical to the skill lines datamined. If you wanna see what they sort of look like in-game, just find those NPCs

Necromancers are the sixth class, but I have doubts this'll ever get added. You can find many of these amongst the Worm Cult, with the best example being Lord Warden's Necromancer in Imperial City Prison. If this class releases, it won't happen for a VERY long time.

So potentially a mag/stam based support class calling wolves and putting up wards? More excited for Necromancer but I'll take any added class for this game.

Necromancy.

It is taboo magic and siphoning magic is already considered borderline necromancy and has only been saved by being placed into destruction.

Nightblades are all about magic that is considered questionable.

Not at all. A skill line in which each skill has multiple debuffs/buffs and at least half of them grants a Major Expedition buff.

Balance.

Ideally, 2 more classes would be great but I am starting to think we may never see another class and therefore adding the elements from the warden and necro classes to the original 4 classes sounds more feasible.

KICHZY

Abilities

• Launch 50m across Cyrodiil and smash an enemy, dealing 5411 damage.

Passive

• Decrease your lag by 30% for 10 seconds after killing a target.

Izaki

Sorcs must ditch the pet stuff and get a real skill line with abilities that deal damage or add some utility with bound weapons and such. Conjuration is good, but not the way we currently have it...

Loralai_907

I didn't take my psychic pills this morning, so I have no idea what it would be lol

Rykmaar

No new skill lines for classes. You would have to add new passives which would really much things up IMO.

My solution would be to add two new classes:

Necromancer
-curse tree (ranged DoT focus)
-conjuration tree (raising zombies, skeletons, etc)
-worm tree (buffs/debuffs/survivability)

Wyress (don't know what the male version would be called...)
-nature's wrath (offensive abilities)
-nature's spirit (summon animals and stuff)
-nature's blessing (HoT/buff focus)


New weapon lines?
-1h/focus
-polearm

I could come up with stuff like this all day, along with abilities, tooltips, etc.

No new skill lines for classes please. If new lines are added , they should be general access for everyone.

The only exception to this would be for Sorc , but not a new skill line , just a redesign to the summoning tree , remove pets and replace them with some ice themed skills.

Some people say this but you guys dont know what that really means. It means that new skill lines have to be balanced in regards to ALL classes and all current skills that might leave them either too weak or too powerful.

With that being said, there should be new world lines and such but certain things need to be class specific.

ice so that they can actually find use in builds

It is actually quite tragic that we have whole entire monster sets dedicated to ice magic...and yet no ice magic apart from mediocre ice staff spells and the mage ultimate morph.

What is ZoS's endgame for ice? Why do they seem to want ice to be a major player like fire and shock and yet give us no ice spells? Lol. It makes no sense.

Well to be perfectly honest , when the game was still in beta , i was hoping that the devs would simply remove classes altogether and simply let us pick and choose what we want to focus on. Basically you should be able to choose how to build your character not your class.

But since that is not possible anymore and the game is like this, going away from class focus on general stuff that can be used by everyone is the way to go , especially since they already said that the 3 trees they give initial is kind of a template on which to build your style , so basically , my statement comes from both my disdain of the fact that we have restrictions such as class specific trees in an ESO game and from their statements about classes.

As a last note , its their job ( how well they perform it is irrelevant ) to balance skills and stuff like that , so yeah, i see no problem with that.

Lexxypwns

mDK would get a new skill line called "fireworks" like other DK skills the abilities in this skill line would have dope animations but not be very useful at all

Please no more "light" abilities on the templar. Don't you get bored looking at the same color on every damn ability?? The same really goes for most classes. Give the skills some variety on each class. Make it interesting...geez

Perhaps give templars a nature, druid, type of spell line.

Maybe give sorcs or nightblades a necro line.

ESO could definitly use a frost/water line of skills. That could be sorc.

There's a lot of stuff they could add but they need to make them more interesting than more flashing golden light...

The problem with not having classes tends to be that a meta build is created and everyone who wants to be competitive MUST have that build. Trust me, we are better off having classes. At least we are afforded a lot more creativity with builds. No, you can't be a tank magicka archer NB in plate but you can tailor your build to certain roles and still have something different.

I won't deny that there are meta builds for the highest level of play (snobby elite guilds) but class distinction at least defines the different kind playstyles instead of everyone running the same skills and morphs and passives and essentially being clones until ZoS shakes up the meta and everyone flocks to the next meta build.

Why just dream about -one- skill line?
I prefer to dream about more choices then that, in my old class morph idea...
