Future Classes?

Classes are only using 1-2 class skills this patch. Stamina classes have always used weapon skills, but as of this patch, magicka classes will be primarily using guild/world skills too.

If anything, I suggest getting rid of classes. They already serve minimal purpose.

While they are at it, let me RP as the Race that I want, with the passives that I want

Kynewynn

I'd like to play a Shaman class.

NO. No more classes!
They finally have to add more game systems that we can use with our existing characters. The last serious addition in that regard was the champion system. I'm tired of having to make new characters to play the content of new chapters.

If anything, they could add new skill lines to existing classes. Maybe even secondary class trees, so a Nightblade could either become a Witchhunter or an Assassin, etc. Although that would mean 12 new skill lines, and they can barely get 3 working ones done every 2 years.

Templar --> Crusader / Pilgrim
Sorcerer --> Battlemage / Archmage
Dragonknight --> Spellsword / Pyromancer
Nightblade --> Witchhunter / Assassin
Warden --> Monk / Cryomancer
Necromancer --> Witchknight / Bonelord

Sword singers/Ansei warriors,. despite them being superstition on mid 2nd era. just like the jedi, there might still be exiled masters passing teachings and hiding around. but i think its enough classes for now. we might need new skill lines atleast or new weapons. something new for the old players.

Classes:
Greybeard
Battlemage
Monk
Berserker
Astrologist (Way different than ff14 one no cards but draws power from the different signs of eso and channels them)

Skill lines:
Morag Tong assassin line that buffs money made with assassinations as well as other more interesting skills like distracting enemies, setting traps, and other stealth stuff to make stealth more interesting.
Bard College
Blades
Blind Moth Priest
Something argonian when black Marsh comes possibly xanmeer related? We simly don’t know because they could go anywhere with black Marsh.

Weapons:
Spear
Summoned melee weapons that scale off magic.
Crossbow
Throwing weapons
Unarmed

Runefang

In the grim dark darkness of the far future there are no classes only nerf wars.

Aptonoth

A lot of people say there is no room but honestly I don’t care as a pve person I want more opportunities to role play. I could see eso ending with a healthy... 10-12 classes before we start hitting other continents lol. At that point I think they would stop adding new ones and focus more on skill lines, weapons, and new zones. I want them to really nail unique classes for eso though nit some generic stuff that could be in any mmo. Most of the default classes are so generic and standard which is why I love warden and Necromancer these say eso.

Spell Crafting & New Weapons

I think regarding classes we have everything now that we need.

ezio45

something that will be exactly the same as every other class whos mag version will come out in and unplayabe state and likely remain that way for yrs

LadyHeloise

Not sure we need new classes (and I have quite a bit of sympathy for the no classes at all argument), but new skill lines would be great. One handed and rune especially, and spears, but seperating ice (so we can have water/ice based dps) and wardens (so they are nature based only - love the spriggan idea) would be great.

Jenzi

I would love the conjurer class from Skyrim. Bound weapons are just so cool, and being able to conjure up a whole load of different animals/Dremora/companions is so much fun.

I would also love a Monk class with front bar fists, back bar polearm. Incorporate the new kata movements into the fighting style.

Unfortunately the Blades aren't created until Tiber Septim iirc

BloodOfTheNorth

Hmmm,
I think removing skill lines would be an interesting idea and add more focused/expanded archetypes.

Personally I think they should add at least 2 more broader classes and 4-5 more weapon and guild lines.

IMO expanding the combinations for builds expands the meta which prevents mass nerfs.

technohic

I'd rather have a magicka melee weapon but for a class, I'd like an illusion oriented class

Perashim

Battlemage would be cool.

It could use bound weaponry mixed in with alteration and illusion to tank/DPS.

Aelorin

Oh, most ideas have been said above.

Skill lines weapons:

- Hand-to-hand
- One hand and Spell
- Illusion Staves
- Mysticism Staves
- ...

Classes:

- Atromancer (conjure, Flame, Frost, Storm Atronach)
- Cryomancer (Frost mage)
- Monk
- Bard
- ...

Skill line guilds:

- Morag Tong
- Aldmeri Dominion/EP/DC skill lines
- Racial skills
- Glenmoryl Witch
- Briarheart
- ...

Possibilities are endless.

And while we are at it:

BloodOfTheNorth

Yeah an Illusion skill tree would be awesome for Magtanks.


And a Spell sword / battlemage are some of my favorite builds from Oblivion and Skyrim.

Aptonoth

Oh I got a unique ESO class idea.

The Delver: An expert engineer who uses a mix of dwarven technology, and other lost culture Knick knacks to fight. I think there could be some real potential here for lots of ESO flavour.

Agreed! This is what I was referring to regarding the Dwemer Artificer class!

Do we really need more classes added? They can't even find balance with the ones we got now!

See the community is torn regarding this.
Some see the new patch as a way to balance and open the meta.
Others are irritated and view it with a more negative perspective.

I am keen on discovering new builds and adapting to change, and because of this I think new classes and skills would be an interesting opportunity to build hard counters for existing meta builds.

Xarko

I really don't think we need a whole new monk class. Templar and Nightblade already kinda cover some of the typical monk stuff.

Hand to Hand/Martial arts skill line should have been a no brainer for Elsweyr though.

Rampeal

4 letter word for you. 👉BARD👈

barney2525

I was looking for a basket weaving class....

No such thing as a balanced mmorpg, far too many variables to consider.
ESO:
Armor types/passives
Armor sets
Traits
Enchants
Skills/morphs/passives
Attributes
CP
Weapon types
Level
Non base-game skill lines
Racials
Roles/playstyle
Experience
Variations of pve components & paywall
Item quality
Animations
Combat (melee, range, mid-range, dots, aoe, healing, buffs, debuffs, block, dodge, bash, cc, etc..)
Timing/durations

Best they can do is try to get as close as they can, even that goal is a reach.

Yellow_Monolith

I want a standard bearer class. One of the skill lines could be marching drums and it could be a class that focus on buffing your group and debuffing enemies.

fakingfocused

Berserker class would be awesome!!

Daus wrote: »

A berserk class. I wanna a character that fights like Guts with an ultimate that gives me the Berserk armor with a new aggressive ability loadout.

Make it happen ZOS!

Yes I second this^. That would be incredibly awesome! Along with class change tokens.

This could be roped into a Bard or Faction skill line.

I dunno , WoW and GW used to do a pretty good job. Took them years to get there, and at times hit or miss , but overall they did well. Especially considering dual speccing for pve/PvP.

Dual specs would be a great qol feature for ESO.
