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...

Honestly, I want anything for Magicka that is not a staff. ZoS really dropped the ball going half a decade without adding more than a staff for Magicka weapons. Should not have made anymore classes until that was addressed.

To all who want Spears as the 2h crit mode
Have u ever fought with a polearm?
Its not just a huge grip with a sharp edge
You dont use it like Hammers and axes xD

Villaine

Other (specify below)

One Handed Sword Skill Line (Swashbuckler) and Polearms.

Tornaad

Other (specify below)

I'm happy with my dual bow build Warden, but I know others want a more diverse weapon set, so sure, whatever is most popular.

Spear (or other thrown weapon)

theres the poleaxe yea
but you dont hold it on the very end and swing it in front of you, like all other 2H weapons in this game xD

EmEm_Oh

Just a long pole. I want to vault over my opponents and watch them thrust fists into the air at me as I effortlessly glide over their zerg ball.

WardenOfTheExalted

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

What they do need to do is

Dark magic staff --> what NPC Seducer Witch uses to match sorcer dark magic

Shadow staff --> what NPC Skaffin wizards use to match Night Blade shadow magic

Necro Staff ---> what NPC Necromancers use to match the up coming necromancer class

Light Staff(not resto staff) ---> to match Templar light magic

Frost staff needs to return to dps not tank ZOS needs to acknowledge that they messed up tanking needs to be sword and board.

More magic damage spells/resto spells like in Skyrim and other games of the Elder Scrolls series. more lighting, fire, and ice.

Unarmed/Brass-Knuckles

Where is my 'all of the above' option? :>

Top pick is definitely a new magic weapon line, both Dual Rune and Rune + 1Hand/Shield combo.
The latter could maybe be some kind of hybrid weapon line even?

Unarmed as a Stamina healing+buff-damage combo weapon, the skills and ultimate referencing the various monastic orders and martial arts of Tamriel, like the Moth Priest, Greybeards, Whispering Fang style, Riddle'Thar.
With skills like "Release a flurry of punches on your opponent dealing [low damage], each hit releasing a shockwave healing allies in a 16m radius for [medium health]". A War Horn like Ultimate with different buffs. One singular Thu'um maybe?
The Vestige isn't a dragonborn but with the necessary discipline any sufficently strong individual should be able to master at least one shout, which imo fits the bill of an ultimate.

I don't think anyones assuming it should be held like that. In fact greatswords and axes are both held improperly in ESO and are swung by the pommel. ESO needs an animation revamp imo.

Plasma cannon.


(or, well, a one-handed Magika implement of some sort. So you can heavy attack to regain Magicka while either dual-wielding or 1h+shield)

RyvenMDR

Unarmed/Brass-Knuckles

I think we have a good amount of choices, and it could throw off balance, but I would love to see Unarmed/Brass-Knuckles. I love monk type arc types. That can tank with their bare hands and use tons of shields for mitigation and use healing to keep their health sustained.

I also have to wonder how the animations would be, heavy attack vs light attacks. Maybe a fierce kick for heavy and light will be, jab, cross uppercut combo.

rynth

One-handed and Rune/Wand/Spell/Relic

Honestly I'm for the top three:

Unarmed combat
1handed/rune
spear skill line perhaps have one of the attacks is thrown spear but I'd also like attacks of not throwing spear. I lean towards this skill line more so for a spear/halberd type weapon use.

Dracan_Fontom

One-handed and Rune/Wand/Spell/Relic

I just want ANY magicka dps weapon that can compete with Destro staff

Shadow_Akula

No new weapon skill lines!

Spear (or other thrown weapon)

What the actual Heck ? Spears are NOT thrown weapons. There is ONE thing you never do with a spear, and it's throwing it. Spears are long reach stabby melee weapons.

That taken into account, I'd love spears ingame. Proper ones, not thrown :P

That, and "sword and spell" combo.

Spears can indeed be thrown weapons. While Pilum/Pila (roman spears/javelins) and most other thrown spear-like objects fall under the category of Javelin, Javelins themselves are classified as light spears, thus a thrown-spear.

Javelin wiki page:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javelin

Spear wiki page:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spear

Second paragraph of the spear page: “Spears can be divided into two broad categories: those designed for thrusting in melee combat and those designed for throwing (usually referred to as javelins).

Usually referred to does not mean always and as I say Javelins are just a type of spear.

Also as for in-universe: Skyrim Solstheim DLC: Reiklings can throw spears which are actually named as spears.

Drierm

Other (specify below)

Toggleable conjured weapons that utilize the same trees as the weapons currently in the game, except they use weapon skills with magicka and block, dodge roll and break free would use magicka too. It would also regain magicka on heavy attacks.

Then, because it'd be a skill line, you could have slotted passive to support a possible reason to take it over other skills, since you'd be losing an ability on your bar to keep it up.

Doctor_Demento

Other (specify below)

A wand in one hand that does damage/healing skills. And globe in the other that does spells,etc. It is in other games and does work and not impossible for ZOS to do.

All of the above. Also Barehanded magic. (for game mechanics reasons it could be a special brand or sign you wear on your hands)

Dual-Rune/Wand/Spell/Relic

I tried to think about fighting a Daedric Titan or a dragon will brass knuckles and feet and, just for the laffs, Zos should include it.

darkblue5

Shield and Rune/Wand/Spell/Relic

This for melee mag dps so that is all balances better. Trying to balance melee DKs/melee Temps around ranged staff is apparently pretty brutal. Also already have the textures for shields and they'd maintain magic damage for light attacks.
