yet another weapon request thread

I know they're common but I'm bored at work with little else to do, so here's some weapons I would like to see worked into the game:

polearms - two handed skill line
Heavy weapons passive: polearms grant a 10% increase to critical damage.

spears - 1h/shield and dual wield skill lines
Twin blade and blunt passive: each spear increases critical damage by 5%.

crossbows - bow skill line
Accuracy passive: bows gain the current 10% crit chance, crossbows gain 10% crit damage

kinetic staves - destruction staff skill line
While a kinetic staff (could be called alteration staff) is equipped, all destruction staff abilities cost stamina and deal physical damage, and use weapon damage instead of spell damage. Light and heavy attacks with the kinetic staff restore stamina and deal physical damage.
Kinetic wall of elements slows enemies.
Kinetic touch applies minor fracture (major fracture with kinetic clench)
Kinetic storm afflicts enemies with minor vulnerability.
Tri-focus: fully charged kinetic heavy attacks ignore 50%/100% of physical resistance
Ancient knowledge: with a kinetic staff equipped you gain x/y physical penetration

bound weapons - come in any 1h, 2h, or bow weapon variety
Any weapon can be turned into a bound weapon by using a new form of crafting station (like the transmute station). Bound weapons look like the original but are spectral/translucent.
While a bound weapon is equipped, all abilities and attacks with that weapon deal magic damage and use magicka/spellpower instead of stamina or weapon damage. For example, a bound bow has access to snipe, poison injection, volley, scattershot, etc. But all those abilities now cost magicka and deal magic damage.
This allows for builds that want to fight with a weapon but focus on magicka instead of stamina. Would function similarly for 1h/shield, a bound shield uses magicka to block attacks and all shield abilities deal magic damage instead of physical.

I actually wouldn't hate that staff idea tbh. I'd love for stamina chars to get another weapon...just as long as we magicka users also get close-range melee weapons, like a conjured sword or battleaxe.

Read the bit about bound weapons, also made another thread specifically about that

That all about bound weapons definitely wasn't there when I commented.
