Some new ideas of classes along the road. The Bard

Bollanger

We talked abit about wanted classes in our guild. And some wanted the old famous Norse Bard. He can entice aggro. Heal with songs etc. Only one NPS can be charmed. And not in future pvp areas.

world skill line yes

class no

if you've played Daggerfall you should know what class the game truly needs: Linguist.

I loved ultima online bards..make things fight each other.

But yea a bard would be awesome

And a monk class

i think the game has plenty of magicka based classes- mage centred clases- when we want to fight melee- we pretty much have to use weapon skills and not class skills. i dont care about the general class- provided that it has actual melee and range CLASS skills that are preferred over the weapon ones. right now- go to any dps parse, any good pvp build, and for the most part all stamina clases are the same- except for their resistance and damage buff, but they all use-
poioson injection, caltrops, hail , CLASS BUFF, rapid strikes, deadly cloak, maybe one class spammable like surpise attack and subterranean.

for magicka its the same routine pretty much

give us a class that is actually unique and plays differently. more utility and actual class damage, and make it interseting and effective for groups- and not be lazy- by trying to encourage us to use them like we have right now- "get 2 percent damage for every class ablity slotted", etc. thats just lazy and unimaginative design.

I agree..when I created a nightblade rogue all the skills are Magicka just about..I couldn't even see much of a class that uses physical stuff

YES PLS!

im missing it that i can train my char to get 10% more gold for selling stuff to a trader of the opposite sex, like in skyrim.
A Speech skilline would fit nicely into the current game. (CWC, Morrowind and HOTR brought us a ton of new skillpoints for free, and no additional skillines to use them on).

There's already something like speech in thieves guild, but they only work for beeing a criminal. higher prices on stoel items ect are nice, but for non criminals there should be something like that aswell.

For some reason, every time I hear about ideas of bards being added to the game, either as assistants or classes, etc., the character Cacofonix from the Asterix comics come to mind

well atleast then we'd have a player to blame the wipes on

Actually i dont think that a bard class is viable in elder scrolls. Yes there are bards in taverns, but those arent the type of ppl you'd take into a heroic battle vs giants or so.

So you not only want Maluakha singing in all taverns, you also want her in your party. Why not asking to add to the Crown Store a Pip-Boy so yo ucan turn in the radio. Which would buff the party, yea.

Haha, I imagine he'd have a warhorn type of ultimate that makes a terrible, ear-splitting sound, and upon activation disorients mobs in range, but it would also grant major cowardice, so he wouldn't be able to recharge it very fast (to the relief of the other group members)

Enough with the new classes.

Like seriously, this company cannot manage more than it allready has created.

I always imagined that one more as a guild skill line rather then a full class, so that it can be refitted to every character, not forcing people to make a fifteenth one and play through all the content they did over a dozend times once again... maybe a bit like: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/306759/additional-guild-ideas

i's love new (usefull) skill lines rather than classes

Bard? What about NO. This game does not need bard, no game needs bard. It is just silly concept.

Pulling from the 21 classes in ES3 how about Agent/Pilgrim/Witchhunter.

So music wasn't used to inspire and basically enrage warriors of days past?

Even modern militaries use music as psychological warfare. Blaring it 24 7 until the enemy folds

I wouldn't count it out as silly

Cpt_Teemo

Summoner
Necromancer
Illusionist

top 3 i could think of atm for me

Why not have him "charm" enemy players in PVP, could be similar to NB fear ability, but instead of running away they walk toward the caster
