Are there enough Classes in ESO? Which class do you think is missing in ESO?

reguvin

Something that excites all of us is new Classes. I wish we would get more of them in Updates. Really waiting for it.

DuskMarine

we need a necromancer class man

Froil

The inevitable answer of Necromancer.

LegendaryMage

I wish hybrid builds were more viable. It would have been a lot more in the spirit of TES games, rather than this crystalized magicka vs stamina stuff. I mean sure you can play a 'hybrid', but it's not nearly as effective as a purely mag/stam oriented character.

its trufully the only one out of elder scrolls that were actually missing.

More than enough, I even think they need to remove Warden - coz it's absolutely stupid class

Breedj01

Bard.

Aebaradath

The Leeroy Jenkins Class.

Cheetac19

Nightblade kinda fits this idea, but a class based on buffs and debuffs would be cool. With abilities that curse your goes and help allies. All classes have some skills like that, but a class based around it would be fun.

Yellow_Monolith

More than enough classes. I'd rather Zos balance team to look at sets and skills that need buffs and nerfing atm

Facefister

A pure support class, your typical "Bard"-class.
Tree1: Damage support
Tree2: Healing support
Tree3: Mitigation support

Hmm yeah Bard Class and Necromancer Class would be a Good Addition to ESO.

Wrong.
Not all.
Some are worried by the idea of new classes... some like me.

Now, if you were talking about more character diversity, sure, I'd be on board. But new classes are a sore point for me, and probably quite a few other old hands... for reasons often stated, for one, people who have been here a while and already played a bunch of characters through all the same content kinda feel vexed at the thought of having to do it all over again another couplöe times to enjoy a new class, and even moreso for anothjer... it is -highly- aggrivating to see a new class and think something like "Why the [-censored-] was that [-censored-] class not [-censored-] available back in summer 2014, it would have made soooo much more [-censored-] sense for that backstory of this main/alt of mine..."
And vexing people generally is not a good idea if you want them to enjoy the game and have a good time (and drop some money into the crown store).

This I always dream of mechanics that allow us to "refit" new class options to ALL characters, no matter if newly made or played since launch, like: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/369966/class-morph-idea-mk-ii

Agreed. But I doubt a class could help much there... what would be needed is a return to attribute softcaps, so that the question of "All into one stat or mix it up" actually becomes a viable choice either way. Right now, anyone sho doesn't drop everything to get their "damage" stat as high as possible is gonna get laughed at by all the self-proclaimed META players...

That... sounds more like a guild skill line to me! Like: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/387560/additional-guild-ideas-mk-ii
(But one they totally ought to do someday!)

Hell with necromancer...just say no to crutches...err, I mean pets.

Frostcaster is what is needed...move the Winter's Embace skill line from warden to Frostcaster, add a couple more skill lines and make a viable ice-mage. Meanwhile...to replace winter's embrace on warden, give it a couple more non-combat pets, a nature-magic based class root(vines sprouting from the ground, etc) and a couple instant-cast nature-magic based damage skills.

With those changes...the classes would finally be rounded out...you would have all your elemental magicka DPS options, you would have 2 pet classes(3 if you count nightblade) And I am sure interesting things could be done with stamina morphs of frostcaster abilities(I would add one more ice-magic skill line and leave the 3rd more focused on stamina options). Necromancer really holds no interest for me...at least not as a pet class. I had enough of that garbage in Diablo II. Now, Necromancer could be interesting if they left pets out of entirely...I could see being able to build a beserker-type tank based off of life drain and regeneration, using corpses for resources similar to the templar in some ways, summoning buff totems, etc...but no, I think pets are a waste of useful skills and people use them as a crutch way too much.

While not a class, I'd love an unarmed skill tree. I'm not really sure how it would work, considering you'd be unarmed, so they'd have to figure out a way to balance it without weapon damage or set bonuses.

huschdeguddzje

No I think we have enough classes, give us more skill lines each class has access to instead, preferably without a grind akin to the Psijic skill line

RaddlemanNumber7

Monk, with unarmed, unarmoured and stealth/athletics/acrobatics skill trees.

It would pair very nicely with an Elsweyr chapter.

Comments like that are even more stupid...

A class that I would like to see is the Witchhunter Which would be the ultimate form of irony if they added it instead of Necromancer

jlmurra2

Necromancer, and Bard sound like great skill lines.

I would rather dissolve classes as they are now, and instead use a create, and name your own class system(at least a long list of name options), allowing players to choose three skill lines from all current classes.

Anyone who likes their class the way it is would not have to change anything, and this would open many more build options.

necromancer needs its own class or it just wont be the same. you have to have all the necromancer abilities or you cant claim to be one.

Enemy-of-Coldharbour

How about a Summoner class?

LegacyDM

Necromancer and monks. Necro would obviously have a summon undead skill line and a dot skill line with maybe a death healing line. A monk would have an acrobats skills line, a healing skill line, and an unarmed skill line.

Knootewoot

There should be no classes man.

There should be only skills. But with a cap of the amount of skills you can buy/morph. And some skill tree's should be unavailable when buying a certain tree. Like you go fighters guild, thievesguild/dark brotherhood should be disabled. Or when you choose a magic tree (with what now are the class skills of sorc/templar/NB) you can forget about choosing the skills for example of DK/Warden, of they were stamina skills)
Of course there would be no stamina/magicka morphs in my world. And it would take a huge amount of rework and balancing would be very hard, but there would be a ton of diversity.

also instead of a HSM to put points in, i want it more in depth like the previous old school TES games like Morrowind/Daggerfall.

There are five too many classes.

for an elder scrolls game there arent enough classes to be honest.

Izanagi.Xiiib16_ESO

I think that only a group support / synergy orientated class would kind of fill the gaps. I'd rather have spell crafting though.

"Classes" from Daggerfall onward affected nothing aside from which skill advancements contributed to a level-up. The gameplay impact was negligible, thus my use of the "actual" qualifier. It wouldn't be the first time I've used a word like "actual" and just assume everyone is on the same page as I am re: what I mean, so I'm sorry for not explaining to begin with.
