Give us an actual 1h skill line.

nhisso

ZoS' decisions in severely limiting what players can do in this game are truly astounding. WTH?

Beardimus

I like the 1H / rune idea too that was rumoured. Turned out to be purely rumour tho from artwork.

Bare fists / MMA skills too just for the lolz.

NewBlacksmurf

Sorry but all I thought of is this



I know you are asking for a new skill line that some hoped would come once Morrowind was announced.
It would more than likely be a bound weapon skill line though as I'm not sure TES had One hand stuff

Mashille

1H / Duelist Skill Line would be nice since we've been asking for one since launch. I need the ability to say 'My name is Inigo Montoya...'

SFDB

I would rather have an unarmed skill line. You would still use your weapon slot, but it would be something like hand-wrappings. And each morph would have a stamina or magicka option so you can be a rough and ready brawler or an enlightened monk.

Feanor

A certain swordmaster from Pentos would definitely approve.

Bladerunner1

Could be fun to have a one hand weapon / one hand spellcasting setup, but we'd need some hybrid re-tooling for it to work.

Emmagoldman

Unarmed and polearms would be great and would tie in well with past games.

With all of the suggestions, its important to think ehat vould they do differently then ehat is offered. Adding contet and abilities aldo may be a way of creating balance and closing gaps.
For example, 2h was designed for stronger single target burst but pve is about clearing mobs.

What would they do different?
I could see polearms being more aoe based, a gap closer with a dot, and a defensive stance.

Unarmed being heavy channel with high dps, crit, or dot

1h and rune
Polearm
1h weapons
Fists/claws
Illusion staff
Earth Staff
Wind Staff

I wish I was a dev to work on that but If I were one I will hate this game and spend my days making crown crates.

QuebraRegra

Agreed! Call it "Dueling" if you must (that was the name used for 1h lightsaber usage skill line in KOTOR).

i thought the 1h + rune also came from some data mining

i also like the idea...a melee magicka weapon set would also be cool

I also like the spear idea as another 2h weapon which can be both melee and ranged

and of course crossbow

Haxer

The entire RP community is behind you on this.

You used to be able to use the 1H & Shield abilities that didn't involve a shield, with just a 1H. So while not ideal, it was at least something.

Then they removed that for no reason so now you literally have to use something in the other hand to use any skills.

They could easily let us have fists and claws under the dual wield skill line. Definitely want a polearm line.
I just dont understand why this game so limited in so many ways.

you forgot allowing us to dual weild staves! (yes like i did in skyrim!)

Even if pure 1H skill line was added it would just be there for RP and fluff. 1H weapons have inherent disadvantage of having less damage and only half the trait bonus than 2H. Because you can have two of them with dual wield. So either they will have to add another kind of 1H wich will be counted as 2H and have full bonuses (and that just makes it a second 2H line with different animations) or make 1H count as a full trait and full damage (but dual wield will become ridiculosly OP)

Or they could just make an invisible offhand item...

Anyway, I like the thought of a 1h skill line

Earth and Wind magic don't exist in TES.
