Trinotops✭✭✭✭Hmm it probably is a skill line. The icon is just a daedric rune surrounded by scribbles. It doesn't seems to match the uniqueness and style of other class icons.

I'm not sure about the two on the left of the top row, but the one without a picture is a storage chest according to the file name, the two on the right are loading screen art which is already in the game. The two on the left in the middle are Wolf Hunter concept art/loading screens and the rest are images of houses from the original housing release.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

✭✭If they add necromancy but not spell crafting I'm going to puke.
Fairly sure the amount of people that want necromancers far out number those who want spell crafting.Edited by MaxJrFTW on January 6, 2019 1:48PM"I don't know you, and I don't care to know you."

✭✭I should mention that people forget about 1 small thing called Sorcs...that have an entire skill line of daedric summoning (pets) so if they make a necromancer class witch will be far more potent in summoning then they will have to rework the daedric summoning on sorcs and I dont think zos can afford another riot...so my guess is that it will be another skill line just like psijic order...3 -

Honestly, I wouldn't kill all hopes for Spellcrafting yet (saying this since 2015 so...).
I think if we'll ever get Spellcrafting it must be a base game update available for everyone and not just for Chapter or DLC buyers. That's why a Chapter exclusive class makes more sense than Spellcrafting.PS5EUAldmeri Dominion- Khajiit Arcanist -0 -

Why would they have to do that? Skyrim had Conjuration which was basically split into two different versions, one for Daedric creatures, the other for Undead. Sorcs could be the Daedric part, Necros the Undead part in ESO.PS5EUAldmeri Dominion- Khajiit Arcanist -2 -

How do people even imagine spellcrafting? I mean yes, many want spellcrafting to be in the game, but what about balance? ZOS spends months to balance existing, pre-calculated, tested and whatever skills. In terms of ESO and ZOS it is impossible.
I could imagine something like one more slot for both bars for created useful skill (something with utility, not about damage). But even here I see a lot of complaints about how OP SC is and future nerfs.1 -

✭Sorcs could be the Daedric part, Necros the Undead part in ESO.
Well problem with that is that the necromancy icon is a daedric letter. Though I guess summon flesh atronach, zombie and undead skeleton would be enough to qualify a necromancer when it comes to the summoning part. Then throw in some blood magic for CC / heal / tanking and summoned blades for the weapon part and I guess you´re good to go.Edited by MaleAmazon on January 6, 2019 2:00PM1 -

Why didn't they teach spellcraft first place? because it's suck and useless.History, like a human being, is thirsty when it wakes from its slumber…History wants to drink up an enormous amount of blood. And even if history has tired of drinking blood, that’s only in regards to the amount. But what about quality? The larger the sacrifice is, the more delighted the cruel gods will be.0 -

Well those people are wrong!
We never wanted more than what they showed us in 2014. I never understood why people wanted something so close to Sorcerers to begin with, but I guess their whining paid off.
Nah, spellcrafting is finished. As you said, it's harder to monetize, and necromancy would have been a major part of the conjuration school.Seraphayel wrote: »It's the very opposite of spellcrafting to me.

So there's dragon fights, but assuming that the crown store icon is referencing them then I'd guess that they aren't necessarily dungeon/trial bosses or simple world bosses. Maybe they'll be more like large-scale event world bosses that some people have been asking for.2 -

Spellcrafting would just be more skills developed by ZOS, nothing developed by the players. It's not like you as a player can create a spell that wasn't previously created by ZOS.
It's just like you have the different magic schools and each of the schools has - let's say - 3 skills. And those 3 skills have five versions. So in the end it's like 15 / 18 new skills overall with 75 / 90 "morphs", all developed and created by ZOS.
I think balancing those predetermined skills wouldn't be too hard (like the AoE version is dealing 20% of the ST version but on 5 targets, the Ultimate is dealing 200% more damage but costs 200 Ultimate instead of x Magicka etc.).PS5EUAldmeri Dominion- Khajiit Arcanist -0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I hope they do not add a necromancer class. A necromancer skillline however would be sufficient.
Necromancy is merely a sub category of a single school of magic. It is nothing that requires or justifies an entire class with 3 skill lines. So a single skill line accessible for everyone makes much more sense.

✭✭If there are a bunch of dragons or dragons teaching the thu'um and spells, ESO finally jumped the shark and pissed all over Elder Scrolls established lore. It was already shakey. They do this, this isn't an elder scrolls game. Just a game in an alternate universe. Don't @ me about dragon breaks.
