Please create a Spear 2H

A_G_G_R_O

I do not understand why there are no polearms in ESO. They were in other scrolls games. Also they could make them function like daggers in that a polearm would give 10% critical hit chance. Currently heavy weapons is light 1 extra bonus we see in dualwield/ crit bonus.

Agree 100%. We need (non templar) polearms, and 2-handers do not currently have a crit weapon. This would address both issues.

Plus I'd love to cosplay as a dragoon with my DK. Take Flight + Spear anyone?

MaleAmazon

Yeah, would love it. Miss it since Morrowind :'(

essi2

Zenimax post TES3 are phobic about polearms for some reason.

Enslaved

Spears? Spears.

DeadlyRecluse

As an aside, in some building (might be a fighter's guild somewhere?) there are spear models. You can't interact or steal them, though.

Go to Skywatch, Fighters Guild, and see that we do have spears in the game even with animations for it. Only for NPCs however.

I also would love to see some 2h spear action.

Why only 2H? I say, they should introduce 1H version as well, to pair it with a shield. Considering real-life advantages of this type of weapon, a good choice for tanks, in my opinion. Don't know about dual wielding, though. I saw dual wielded spears only in one computer game, which is Pillars of Eternity. It looks kinda bizarre, and I don't think that someone seriously consider to use two spears, one in each hand, to fight in real combats (if you know such examples, please, let me know).

Well we do have the aedric spear line (my first char was a templar for this very reason). It´s not very realistic though (but I guess a magical spear isn´t very physics-realistic to begin with). You wave it around like a bullroarer and often with one hand.

I dont think there would be as much animation / gameplay issues in ESO compared to a single-player RPG (where it might look too weird or hard to implement long-range melee weapons). Would love to see a polearm weapons skilline split from the current 2h.

I tbh just want the crit passive for 2H IDGAF about the aesthetics but it would be a nice plus.

Would love Spears. They are the reason I chose a Templar in early access and beta.

I can only imagine that wielding a spear is difficult to animate since it is such a versatile weapon.

Already in the game. Can find where further up...

Recremen

Spear 2-handed now costs 1k gold per attack. You can circumvent this cost by spending $4 in the cash shop. :-) Per attack, mind you.

Kanar

Can't wait to use cleave and uppercut with a spear. Such realistic animations!

LeagueTroll

Spear cause confusion with templar skills, make a scythe

A_G_G_R_O

Whatevs make critical weapon for 2H it doesn’t need to be a spear.

Deyirn

I'd like this too, I'm a bit disappointed that they did not release it with Morrowind and the Warden. It would've been The Bomb if in the trailer for Morrowind they showed off the Warden wielding a spear, would've been so amazing and probably made so many people happy.

Summerset has what? Psijic order skill tree and jewelcrafting? Pfsh... not even a new class or something grandiose like the Warden in Morrowind.

Someone summon ZOS, we've got a good idea here.

They should use Oberyn Martell for an animation model

that would be cool. the problem with melee combat in this game- is that there is no range factor- a heavy attack from daggers is the same as a greatsword- and the same as an axe, etc, etc.

the main benefit of using a poleaxe is its range- dont know how they would integrate it in - other than making its skill attacks ranged attacks.

They wouldn't. It'd be a crit 2h. hopefully with spear animations.

White wabbit

So already 4 stamina weapon skill lines and you want to add another

You don´t have to put in a range advantage though, combat in this game isn´t really of the Oblivion-backpedal-while-I-maintain-range-kiting-dremora-to-death type. Even DW and 2h are basically the same in concept.

There doesn´t even have to be a new skilline, but it would be nice. I don´t think a spear uppercut animation would look less silly than the current sword one, but "cleave" doesn´t make much sense.. then again, we have the radial sweep silliness already.

I actually saw this thread right after I thought about making a spearwielding khajiit, alas, maybe not yet :'(

Wishlist: Elsweyr chapter with less stereotypical khajiits ("this one is a... little dense.. and loves moon sugar..."). Include new weapon line, polearms. Rehaul existing things. Add in unarmed combat too, for the hell of it. TES3 Morrowind got some things right...

I said this since before the Beta... I want Spears more than anything. I would like to see a 1h/spear combo as well as a 2 hahder. The spear/shield combo being more offensive than sword/shield.
