What if we had spell sword skill line?

Tasear

How would you like it to be implemented?

What kind of skills would you like to see?

Support buffs skill line, maybe a meele spammable and an execute (morph difference) so classes without them could get ones for meele range

A Magicka Roll Dodge when the weapon is equiped (same as Frost Staff Magicka Block).

Make that happend and Spell Sword can actually be worth it!

Vietfox

A passive allowing weapons to scale with you higher stat. Am i right @Deathlord92 ?

Iskiab

Melee only abilities I think. I’m not sure, a nice spammable maybe?

Definitely an ability to get major sorcery.

Yes 100%

Like Vietox said swords daggers axes maces 2 h to should scale of max stats. And if your a magic build blocks roll dodge should cost magic.

If I recall correctly there were several hints that sword-singers were to be the weapon equivalent of spellcrafting. That might have been semi interesting.

Now we probably wouldn't get more than a single skill line, like psijic which IMO was a huge bust.

As always I'd ask for more magicka damage abilities. Though psijic only had one so my expectations would be low.

There's litterally spellblade NPCs in Elsweyr.

Spell SWORD, Tas. It's the official term Elder Scrolls games used.
(^_-)

Melee spammable, AoE spammable, execute, DoT, stun. Ultimate: magicka Dawnbreaker with two blades instead of one, no DoT but PBAoE.
Pretty pink lightings, or magenta or reddish violet.

Anything that would free my mDK from wielding a stick for 7m range abilities.

i think it's a perfect opportunity to implement spell crafting. you can equip a one handed weapon in one slot, and the other slot can be a spell you can customise. maybe instead of blocking when you right click, you activate the spell?

Spell blade doesn't exist.

Spellsword does and, oh, it's a StamSorc :

This should be a default game mechanic.

NPCs are called spell blades

I would like to play a toon like the Elven Hero in the ESO trailers.
Dags and shocks.
Unfortunately, you can RP such a character but do little damage in something because either your dags
would scale from magicka or your shocks would scale from stamina.
Or, you could split your attributes and be weak in both.
I'm not sure what could be done from the POV of the game's designers.

I always wanted to play a Breton stamblade. In pvp I could 1vx kill good players in 1v1 but I struggle a lot against good players in meta hence my love for melee magblade. I hope there’s a day when swords daggers axes maces scale of highest stats.

I support a magicka melee weapon personally. With the emphasis on light attacks and so many magicka based melee classes, it MUST happen

Or you can play a stamsorc and use the overload ultimate. (admittedly not the strongest setup around but still viable)

Go light attack or heavy attack a player as a magicka char with a melee weapon

Skander

Give it a heal over time like vigor and it would be best in slot for every magicka
