New Class DATAMINED?

Lumbermill_Emperor · October 2016

I have datamined three new skills in the latest PTS update:

Winter's Embrace
Green Balance
Animal Companions

No additional info yet, only names. Maybe a new class?

Jumping to conclusions? I HIGHLY doubt a new class.

Could it be something to do with the winter event?

it can be just skills of new monsters/boss

So is there a reason your title is completely misleading?

Fabulosity · October 2016

According to the first comment in the link you provided it's just the remnants of a class that was removed in the alpha version of the game.

Rohamad_Ali · October 2016

Alpha Warden class abilities . They ditched it .

@Rohamad_Ali

they was ADDED only in last PTS update

Curragraigue · October 2016

You could ask @UrQuan and @SirAndy who I believe were both around for the Warden Class if they recognise those skill names re Warden Class.

I think it is unlikely that they would introduce a new class now. Seems more likely to be new skills for monsters or NPCs in an upcoming DLC.

Yeah, Warden stuff from alpha (back when there was cloaks). If its in the new datamine set than I wouldn't be surprised if a new class is on the horizon... Ive never been a big fan of new classes as "content" but in this game I think new classes would be a boon.

I hope we do see some new classes... Necromancer FTW!

Hey now nothing wrong with little fun wild speculation thread .

It could be something , it could be nothing for new class . Could be new world skill lines . The fun is in guessing and sharing what everyone would like seeing .

Code2501 · October 2016

I'm not a fan of starting a new character and grinding through the same content to get new skills.
I'd prefer spell crafting to new classes. Second preference would be specialist classes that you can add to your base class.
We need more meaningful character growth beyond gear and stats, and it should come in a choice like morphs, where you have to choose, locking out the alternate options.

Thevampirenight · October 2016

Well they could add a free change to new class option for one of your charaters that way you don't have to redo content to level up the new class. But yes they should add a few more classes. Three at least, Necromancer, Monk, Warden.

Tryxus · October 2016

I really hope it's the Warden...

I'd even go as far as rerolling my main, but hopefully class change will be allowed when that happens

TX12001rwb17_ESO · October 2016

These abilities are most likely from the 5th warden class that ZoS ditched before ESO was released, if they are bringing it back I like so many others would love to see a Necromancer Class.

All fairness I feel eso meeds about 8 classes

Warden

Necromancer

Illusionist/conjurer/ elemental mage

Warrior? (Like tg e kind that is based on stamina dps rather than all classes based on magicka)

Cinbri · October 2016

Wrobel said there is no plans for new classes but they wana make currently underrated "styles" to be more usefull and viable in future like frost magick (Winter's Embrace?). It might be that: Winter's Embrace for frost magick builds, Animal Companions for summoning builds outside of being sorc, Green Balance might be group buffs outside of being templar.

I'd have thought these are effects that some of the new monster sets trigger.

Winter's Embrace = Iceheart
Green Balance = Chokethorn?
Animal Companion = Selene

I don't know, just a thought.

Birdovic · October 2016

Thats the Warden class which was planned, its one of the reasons I keep fighting for more importance of Cold Damage in the game (it looks like they wanted to introduce the Warden with a Cold Damage based Tree).

Maybe they thought its too hard to implement a whole new class now, and instead they will add those 3 Skill Trees
(Winter's Embrace,Green Balance, Animal Companions) under World Skills, where everyone has access, who knows?

The first could be the Cold Tree, there are hints of Vvardenfell (and Solstheim) to be introduced at some point. A Cold Damage Tree would be fitting, especially because ZOS stated in the latest Reddit AMA, they want to give Cold Damage more importance soon.

What exactly ZOS_ eWrobel said: "Yup we definietly plan on adding a bunch of new frost abilities in the future."

With One Tamriel and soon Housing, the general set up of the game has been overhauled in line with the vision of Matt Firor when he took over.
You could say that we experienced an extended beta the last 2.5 years.

So... what is left to add for the coming years ?
For sure more content by way of DLC's increasing the area of PVE, and ofc more sets, raid dungeons etc.
perhaps battlegrounds for PVP ?

But will that be all ?
I guess that adding now and then a new class is a nice controllable way to spice up the game as well,
keep it fresh for people that play already a long time.

Sadly the Warden was before my time, but I'm pretty sure @SirAndy was around for it. It does sound like a couple of the things I've heard the Warden had though.

I'll say this: if we get another class, I'm going to need more character slots...

Yup, maybe they currently calculate, if the estimated amount of money they make from Character Slot sales will make up for the money invested in Working hours, to bring back the Warden class

If they add a new class but do not add either more slots to purchase or a class change token, it will be kinda evil. I mean, they wouldn't expect us to delete one of our characters to test the new class... Right?

I can still purchase two more if needed since I'm at 10 characters right now, but I many people are at 12 already.

Robbmrp · October 2016

From the skill description it sounds like a hunter based class. If it was an original class, they dumped it for Sorc Pets. I wonder how many people would have rather had the hunter class for pets....

Yes, yes and yes ...

Warden from the early beta (alpha?). Color me intrigued ...

Panda_iMunch · October 2016

Considering they said they have no given the green light to a new class, I assume it's the left overs of the warden class from alpha or is the abilities of npcs being added in the next dlc/patch.
