No Ice/Frost Class?

MaKTaiL

Sorcerer has a buff for Lightning Damage.
Dragonknight has a buff for Fire Damage.
Nightblade has a buff for Magic Damage.
Templar has a buff for... Fire Damage again?

Something is not right. Frost damage is being overlooked and it's completely useless at the moment.
Shouldn't one of the Fire Classes above change to Frost? Templar maybe? What do you guys think?

Just search 'warden' into the forum search, you'll find plenty of information of what you are talking about there

Would be nice to have but it doesn't really fit the current classes. Maybe one day they introduce new world skills that has cryomancer line or something.

Winter is coming, or some ***.

Seriously though, it's been all but confirmed that we're getting a frost skill line via a new class. I'm pumped.

Is a new class really necessary though? Can't they just revamp one of the classes to accommodate frost damage? Is it because of Lore reasons? They messed the lore so much that at this point anything could happen IMO.

I suppose they could, but it would likely be really disruptive to people who already play whatever class gets reimagined.

Also, at this point the class system is getting stagnant (smells downright musty in here). I'd personally welcome a new class. Though don't be surprised when the naysayers weigh in here.

The Templar's whole thing is sun magic, so it makes sense for them to do fire damage. I'd even advocate for Templars getting more fire damage, but that would kind of single-handedly break my Dunmer Beamplar. If any class should have a bit of a revamp to include ice skills, then give the Sorcerer ice morphs of some of their Storm Calling and/or Dark Magic skills.

Right? My Cryomancer is crying ice cubes.

Must be why it is called a "Cryomancer".

I'm not against a new class, but the game needs new content more than it needs anything else. Like i said the other day, I'm not talking about bells and whistles, it needs a new landmass opened up. We've all been running over the same old ground for months on end with no sign of new area content arriving. Niche dungeons, 1T, housing, crown crates etc, but nothing new for the rest of us to explore. At this point, it wouldn't even bother me if the new landmass involved PvP such is my desire to see something new and fresh.

Talk of cryomancers definitely seems to induce others to cry loudly and often.

Agreed. I feel like the opening up of a new region (and new content) would be a perfect opportunity to weave a new class into the aesthetic of that region's lore.

PvP would just be the frosting on my face the cake.

Vvadernfell is the next big region we are gonna get after the Housing update.

Can't come soon enough. I'm assuming it's gonna be around the summer before we get a sniff of it?

tinythinker

Darkness. Cold. Reduced movement speed. Just add cold damage and a cold damage buff to magicka nightblades.

The Q2 DLC will likely be PTS in April, release in May.

*crosses fingers*

Please let it be Vvardenfell ...

And probably in june on console

I'll just fix the initial post:

Sorcerer have Lightning and Physical Damage skills (some magic damage too)
Dragon Knights have Fire and Poison Damage skills (Some magic damage too)
Nightblades have Magic and Disease Damage skills
Templars have Magic and Physical Damage skills (Some fire damage too)

I would love to see a new class that's based on frost damage

I think some ice magic was supposed to be in with the Spellcrafting system.

But alas, for now, that dream is gone ...

I can tell you now that Templars will never be a major frostcaster type, because Templars purify evil souls with fire to cleanse their souls =P. But hey, anything could happen.

Yeah like a Coldfire subclass/class morph for DKs from over-exposure to the forces of Coldharbour who wields blue flames that chill opponents...

Really hope they will make a warden class soon Will be the best DLC if they made it.

idk

While Templar has a couple fire damage skills it doesn't have a buff to fire damage.
