What if Berserker Class was in?

Inhuman003

What do you think about a Berserker Class being put in ESO?

The Berserker Abilities (20) & Ultimate (3) will it classified to a mixture of a Tank in a (dps) Nightblade?

I don't know... Knowing ZOS it'll have some instagib ability that will be undodgeable because it looks cool.

Whenever something new is introduced I'm more concerned than excited.

But truthfully I would like a stamina/melee focused class.

Stamblade is the closest thing I can get to it; however, I'm not a fan of cloak so it's class defense mechanic doesn't really appeal to me.

Classes in eso before anything else, first and foremost are thematical, not archetypical based on role. A "berserker" archetype is already achievable in game from more than 1 class.

Any new classes that would conceivably be added to eso would have to represent themes that are currently not available or represented for players to play under.

Templar
Holy, purity, light

Nightblade
Dark, illusion, life draining, assasination

Dragin knight
Fire, draconic, earth

Sorcerer
Lightning, arcane, wind, conjuration

Warden
Nature, green magick, frost

What in this case would a "berserker" class bring to eso in terms of theme?

Another thing to consider is that despite what many try to argue against, every class has to in some capacity, be able to perform any of the 3 roles. Generally from direct class abilities or uniquely tuned passives that reinforce universal skill lines like resto staff and sword n board.

These are things i dont believe many consider when making posts suggesting new class x or y be added to the game.

Necromancer
Undead armies, death, curses

Berserker
Mutilation, lunacy, master of melee weapons

Nah

I always like more variety. If you're itching for something like that right now, try out a stamina sorceror with 2h and bow. You get three heals and a damage shield while attacking- it's nuts!

Megabear

Variety is always a good thing so I'd vote in favor of it but I never did like "berserker" archetype so it's a class I'd skip.

Stand in front of me and let me blast you with my Combat Prayer. Boom, you're a Berserker. No no, your gratitude isn't necessary. Just happy to help. ;P

ezeepeezee

You can make a berserker build already, if you mean a tanky warrior that isn't using s/b. Just have to build it and play it right.

What can't you do now that you want that class to do?

Vercingetorix

One can be a berserker already in ESO:
1. Choose an Orc.
2. Choose the Sorcerer class.
3. Invest in stamina and find a big hammer.
4. Cast Hurricane and drink a speed/immovability potion.
5. Profit?

Yep I can't stand the cloak as well

Berserking in ESO?

Go for a good stamina build, grab a two handed weapon, or maybe two weapons, wear speed-enhancing medium armor and possibly warpaint, use food buffs all the time (original berserkers were said to chew roots and mushrooms to numb their pain and induce their battle frenzy), charge ahead without tactics and attack, attack, attack?
(you can also scream your own name as you bl9indly charge ahead, but that's a bit clichee at this point...)

Insandros

Why are you asking for a new class question when people are crying enough like this with the classes we got already? Just giving them another reason to cry more?

3 handed battle axe. The other hand is for your little buddy

2h sword in hand and 2h axe in the other hand and 2h shield in the remaining hand lol??

We already have access to a "berserker" class. While it sucks we still kind of have it haha. They need to add more classes like Illusionist or Necromancer or hell even a damn Lancer. Those would be fun.

Tryxus

As long as it's not a damn Necromancer, I'm okay with any class being added to the game
