What is your NEW WEAPON wish?

Kallykat

I've seen some discussion on this topic, but no recent poll. Feel free to justify your answer below. I'm not sure ZOS would even add a new weapon skill line, but just for fun...

TelvanniWizard

Dual-Rune/Wand/Spell/Relic

Magic, just magic.

Cpt_Teemo

Would be cool to imbue each hand as a set bonus just like weapons if you don't feel like using a weapon lol

Lyserus

One-handed and Rune/Wand/Spell/Relic

I guess you will have to say "Aedric spears are the spears" now, no way ZOS would make 80+ models of spears for each motif...

However 1h+rune is a possibility since rune doesn't have to be 1 per motif...they can be something of totally different system

And also the fact that magicka need another weapon choice + some ppl can pretend to be using only 1 hand sword now

klowdy1

Other (specify below)

Polearm to mirror the dagger crit bonus for 2h.

ParaNostram

Spear (or other thrown weapon)

Spear but not as a thrown weapon

lolli42

Other (specify below)

eighter the magic focus (rune, book, orb...)

or polearms
not throw spear xD thats lame

but they should not be includet to the 2h skill line
poles have a different fighting style than just big weapons, to crush anything in front of you
more aoe (360°) and sustain

Probably something like bound weapons and shields so you can make a real magicka melee or tank character. Or some kind of weapon that creates a strong stamina healer to rival the restoration staff. You can already create mag or stam damage dealers, mag, stam or health tanks on most classes But a stam healer is quite limited at the moment, even if you are a Warden.

Solariken

Other (specify below)

Shuriken, boomerang, or other mid-range throwing weapon.

thats probably because healing requires some magic, naturally :x
just imagine a healer, running around and taping everyone xD
stam healer

rexagamemnon

Spear (or other thrown weapon)

Next on the list would be the brass knuckles

Stamina is just magicka for body magic as opposed to mind magic. That is why you can have things like vigor and dark deal. You could have a staff like weapon type that taps in to the body magic in the same way a healing staff taps in to the mind. Doesn't mean you would have to physically touch everyone. Much like you don't have touch everyone for vigor or bone shield to work.

then, i would suggest the polearm

with different forms like, dai bo (heal support), spear and glaive or something

or maybe the monk class, to be able to stam heal

Gilvoth

Other (specify below)

new and more powerfull bow skills.
new and more protection / defensive skills.

I was think more along the lines of two new staff types. One melee and one earth magic for stamina healing. Would mean there is no new art assets required just a few new skill animations that they could steal from other skill and class lines. As you say, it could be just one new weapon skill with different morphs.

Hand to Hand would be one I would like to see.
Sword and Spell is something they can do as well.Would be interesting as I sometimes like to run with just a one handed sword and no shield. Having one handed and a spell would be nice.
Wands yes to those.
Spears
Crossbows
Relics
I would say Most of the Above and that is why I choose other.

you already have to change animations, if you make a melee staff, but that would be a polearm so i would be fine with it

Pure melee weapon skill line, without vampirism, without disease, without any kind of awkward effects on them, just different hits, maybe with some jumps and somersets, with pure sounds of clashing steel and fast and natural animations.

ur asking for an overhaul of the game
theres nothing more "pure melee" than a freakin hammer
they would have to change the already existing weapon skills for you

myskyrim26

No new weapon skill lines!

Seriously, do we really need anything new?
I don't. Did you mastered all exiting classes and roles? Me not. Playing since 2016. I haven't yet tried Templar and Warden (though I have it since Morrowind chapter), I don't know what is it like to be a healer. I don't need any new classes or weapons.

redspecter23

No new weapon skill lines!

Adding a new weapon would mess with the logistics of loot drops which are already watered down. We have underrepresentation of what we have already as well. Ice staff is meh. Two hand needs work in pve. I'd rather they expand on what they already have instead of spending time on another skill line that needs to be balanced against the others (that are currently not balanced well either)

Magic from this ones hands! And maybe tail. >.> Okay okay, just hands.

Wildberryjack

Dual-Rune/Wand/Spell/Relic

I want to fling spells with duel wands! Think Harry Potter.

Nemesis7884

One-handed and Rune/Wand/Spell/Relic

crossbows would also be nice :-) but that might work as a separate skill line as well...

1h + rune has the benefit that you dont need to introduce a new weapon...its just active if you only equip 1 weapon and have the skill line...so the first passive of the skill line could be that it "promotes" your 1h weapon to count as 2

Tasear

Other (specify below)

A harp!

Gythral

Other (specify below)

Magic sword (or any other single handed) and bare hands
being able to get full enchants out the the combo

(Who doesnt want a Spellsword/Battlemage)

Zacuel

Other (specify below)

Flail! 1hand and 2hand make things plode.

olsborg

Other Staff (Illusion/Conjuration/Alteration/Poison/etc.)

Id like a staff. Not elemental or anything, just magical. Or dark.

VDoom1

Spear (or other thrown weapon)

I'm a bit on the fence. Adding a new weapon skill line might be tricky. Plus we already have many.

But alright, let's say one can be added no problem. Out of these I would then pick spear or other polearms. Spear could be awesome for Wardens.

Second place one handed + magic.
