Make ESO Great Again with this One Neat Trick

Gnortranermara

You fell for the bait, sucker, so buckle up and suffer through my greatest (ESO-related) fantasy.

Change Destro and Resto staves
Destruction: change Ice back to a DPS weapon. You’re welcome, Magdens.
Restoration: make the default light/heavy attack function like the Psijic Mending skill (and rework the skill to do something different). It will be necessary to remove enchantments from all Resto staves. It’s worth it.

Introduce new staff types for the other schools of magic
Illusion: copy/paste the old Resto light/heavy attacks to this staff. The new skill line should include fear, cloak, Minor Courage buff, blind, etc.
Alteration: This is the new magic tanking skill line. Give it a green channeled heavy attack that taunts so it feels like you’re pulling mobs with a magic tractor beam. We can finally have a proper magicka tank and not these cheap ice tank knockoffs.
Conjuration: a low-powered oblivion damage skill, new pets, and a Banish spell (prismatic damage, maybe?). BONUS: a unique Oblivion resistance ability of some kind.

Introduce Spellswords
Sword in one hand, spell in the other. Make light/heavy attacks scale with magic stats. The skill line should include one spell from each school:
Destruction: Destructive Cloak, AOE DOT centered on caster. Destructive Blast, makes it instant AOE burst. Destructive Vortex, AOE DOT placed at target location.
Restoration: Respite, heal + stam restore.
Illusion: Calm, new CC effect. Stops combat, like fear except the enemy doesn’t run away and it breaks if they take damage. Harmony, same effect in AOE. Charm, NPC attacks other NPC’s hostile to the caster.
Alteration: Oakflesh, minor resistance buffs. Thornflesh, minor resistance buffs plus reflect melee damage. Stoneflesh, improve to major resistance buffs.
Conjuration: Bound Sword. When slotted, replaces your sword with a Bound Sword, making your light and heavy attacks deal Oblivion damage. When activated, grants Major Sorcery for 20 seconds.

Do this and I promise I'll buy all the Crown Store camels.

Why do you want to ruin my ice tank for?

Nah dude they got many balance issues as it is now. Usually mmos at their stage they should be able to perform something like this however this game still has months on end of balancing they refuse to do and will keep pushing back.

Wouldn't ruin them if Zos added a taunt to an ice skill..

It should be obvious from what I posted that I don't want to "ruin" your tank. I have a magicka tank, too. Giving them a dedicated Alteration staff skill line would be far more beneficial than a poorly-adapted DPS line that is barely usable. If you think that giving your magicka tank a superior skill line is "ruining" it just because the effect graphics would no longer be white and misty colored, then we are not playing the same game anyway.

Put a skill that reflects melee damage so it becomes impossible to hit DKs and Wardens

Also put cloak and fear to a weapon skill line so NB doesn't exist anymore.

There are cool suggestions tho, must say that.

We have decided to close this thread as it is admitted to being click bait.

Thank you for your understanding,
