When we do get a new class 2021 which class do you want it to be? Aquamancer Included in options!

Thevampirenight

I added some of the choices that can be done for classes. Given there are those that want bards I put it at the first of the list please don't make this about I don't want another new class this isn't what it is for. If they did add a class what would be your perferance even if you don't want another class Or what you want to see added as a class. There is one option that isn't exaclty covered much in the lore but added anyways. Some npcs do have Aqua power or foes the forth class is my own personal want. The Aquamancer.

For those that don't know this Aquamancy is the control of water magic. Not ice but water. Water like summoning rain to summoning tidal waves more the stuff that Percy Jackson or Aquaman could do. The Maormer have this type of magic. Aquamancy is something that isn't often seen and when it does its some kinda of healing magic. No I don't want to see it added as healing. No no no I want to drown my foes with water. I want to see actual drowning damage added to the game. But in a form that makes sense of course. Example of what it would look like at least for the three major skill sets and
Ocean Herald -Summoning waves summoning mini hurricanes to drown foes with water dps.
Trident- Keeping your foes on your toes taunting pushing them towards you summoning powerful water magic including turning your body partiality into water. For a time skill line based on Tanking and hindering.
Purity of Water- Healing your self with water and healing others with water.

Ocean Herald and trident does stuff that Percy Jackson would do.
Trident would invoke a magical trident and summoning tridents and shaking the nirn below you and hold into place. More Poseidon like stuff and Percy Jackson like stuff.
Purity of Water would be more like the typical water hearing abilities crap we often see in mmos or games when they do add in som aqua ability. Cleansing through water and all that.
But I want a water damage skill line not a healing one. Aquamancer would have abilties themed around how dangerous the Ocean really is.


The reason why I want to see this because well its not often we get to see this. All we get is ice which is frozen water you can't drown stuff with it. Storm which is just lightening basically. And Fire which is the common element used by many of the foes in the game. We got green and nature themed, Now I want to see a water and blue nature themed class based on the Aqua Archtype. Why always ice? No Give us the power of the ocean baby




Wasn't too fond of the percy jackson movie just because of the way they didn't follow the source material the way that would have made it great but this scene from the movie shows the type of magical power I want to actually be able to do. Water Trident throw that knocks a foe back just like what is seen in the percy jackson clip.

But for for this video, you can consider this a fight between a aquamancer and a lightening sorc. If you want to and you can see the awesome power being wielded here.

People having a fit over the thought of bard and we have people wanting Aquaman over here...
(Not to hate on your idea by the way, just the reaction some have to the idea of something new)

Well not exactly Aquaman. Aqua power is what I want. I want something differant from the typical ice, fire and shock or green and earth. Water isn't used as often and the power it has would be great if they could do it. That is why I want it personally. I do not want it to be a healing thing either. So totally want the power of the ocean as a class. We got the power of nature and glaciers the power of fire and earth. So where oh where is the ocean! The ocean is the element we don't have. Not counting sorcs lightening as that is lightening not water.

Well if they are able to pull it off it would be well worth it in my mind. Of course not everyone is okay with new things but can't keep doing the same ol same ol got to do other stuff too.
I will admit i'd likely would be will pay double if they added the Aquamancer.

Aquamancer

For a class I would like to see ZOS explore air magic as well as other possibilities within conjuration, alteration, illusion and restoration. if there isn't already anything covered by already existing skill lines.
Technically all the classes are a spellsword - what does a Spellsword entail for you? What would make it different?

Interesting that you mention Water magic as the Psijic skill line does have a "magical water" aesthetic theme -perhaps they could explore that with Air magic as well.
Air & Water combo sounds perfect actually EDIT: for a class

I would say Weapon/Armor Conjuration but tbf all of the classes already conjure weapons and/or armor:

Sorcerer: Bound Amor/Armaments

Nightblade: Assassins blade

Templar: Aedric Spear

Necromancer: Death Scythe

Dragonknight: Lava Whip, Fiery grip, Spiked Amor

Warden: Frost Cloak & Crystalized Shield

Psjiic does seem to be more about Time magic the stuff that priest of akatosh could do in the dark brotherhood dlc.
Its not actually water. But a form of Time manipulation. Plus some of the skills seem more like what I would expect for a monk class anyways. So I can't count it as a air or water theme. Though I've not been able to see the skills for myself yet. I still got to do the leveling to do so I can actually run those abilties. On my new orc character. Hopefully they do look closer to a more water theme I might substitute for that but still want actual aqua power.

Taleof2Cities

I stopped reading when it was assumed ZOS would not release a class in 2020 and would release a class in 2021 ... without any source for that justification.

LukosCreyden

I'm not sure if monk would work as a class. Well, not in the traditional hand-to-hand combat way, at least. Reason being, you can equip weapons to compliment your class. Hand-to-hand should be a "weapon" skill line.

As for Aquamancy, I DO like the idea, but it isn't an element we ever really see used in terms of magic. There isn't any lore reasons for this, but it just isn't something that gets used in Elder Scrolls, for some reason.

As for Bard, now that is something that COULD work, as Tonal magic is a thing. However, in lore terms, Tonal Magic is OP as heck (the Thu'um potentially being one of the WEAKER examples) so it would be interesting to see how this would be implemented, even if Bard classes have never been my cup of tea.

Honestly, I hope we get another class in the future, but I haven't a clue what it might be. Illusion and mysticism magic iare things we've not seen much of and we don't have what could be considered a straight-up "warrior" class either, so they could be candidates.

@Taleof2Cities
Because why would they release a class this year? They just released the Necromancer in 2019

@Thevampirenight
I meant an Air & Water Class sounds interesting.
Psijic abilities do focus on time but I was just pointing out that some have a water aesthetic theme

Its because of the how they released the last two classes. Warden was released with Morrowind but necromancer wasn't released until after summerset when they did the Elsweyr chapter if that pattern holds. Then the next class won't be until next year. That is why I said 2021 and not 2020. Because I suspect or expect we will only get independent skill lines this time. But I could be wrong but if the pattern holds true that is what will happen.

Ah I see sorry if I misunderstood.

Aquamancer?

Where did this idea come from and why is it so awesome?

People have been going nuts trying to make Maormer or Maormer hybrids since the skin got datamined, and now that it's available, people have gone on overdrive. I was actually considering making one of my characters a Bosmer/Maormer hybrid, but I didn't have a good class in mind. Really wasn't much a fan of Nightblades but I wanted him to use a bow. I decided I'd probably just go for stamsorc for the lightning power...but if there was the potential for a water-bender, that would be beyond awesome.

EDIT: Definitely needs a trident though. Man I really hope we have spears/polearms coming at some point... can you imagine a Pyandonean-style spear would look like some epic tirdent or something? Awesome!

Well I thought of it when thinking of which classes to put down for this poll it was something I thought about before. Its disappointing there isn't many mmos or games with water power like this.
I choose the classes based on what was in the lore the first three. Plus chose those ones because they could possibly still be done even if the other archtypes have basically can be filled in by everything else. I went ahead and added the Aquamancer to it because it is something I do want to see at some point. We are missing ocean based magic and some npcs or creatures have Aqua abilties they cast at you. So that is why I placed it down.

SocialAssassin

Noob should be a choice. Aquamancer this isn't DCUO.

Vanos444

Why not Duelist?
Gun blazing pirate..


Or a Guardian / lancer

UltraMex

Whatever they'll call it, i hope it's a Stamina class.

Don't really like any of those options.

They still haven't made their mind up on how they want to balance the current classes, think it will be awhile before we get another one.

NotaDaedraWorshipper

Where is the Other option?


I'd want to see something that shows the standard magic schools more clearly. Such as Alteration, Illusion, Mysticism etc. A bit too much unusual magic like divine and shadow etc among the current classes. Several of them are also just using Destruction magic but with a specific theme to their spells.

asking for a classless system instead of new classes.

Faulgor

None. Stop adding classes, they add nothing of value to the game.

That would be an amazing new class, but the word "aquamancer" sounds like an X-Men villain.
I'd buy it, though. I just hope they can think of a better name than that.

I’d prefer no new class. Right now classes don’t feel like an important part of the game. It’s the first thing a player would use to describe their character but no NPCs consider your class at all. There is no class specific content. There are so many non-class skills that all builds feel really similar regardless of class. ZOS still isn’t sure of the place classes hold in the game.

It’s not a good environment for adding a new class.

This.
Necromancer felt like a re-skinned Warden and currently each existing class is being re-worked so that there is no difference between them (for balance).
Why add another mundane that fails to shine or excel at anything and ultimately feels like a re-skinned necromancer or warden?

TelvanniWizard

Aquamancer

Aquamancers (or hidromancers) are my favorite mage type, it would be great to play one in Eso. Would surely become my main.

GrimTheReaper45

Id like spell sword or 1h and magic. Would prefer it as a skill line over a class though

StrandedMonkey

if i see another one of these stupid threads ill actually become a dk

Aelorin

Monk

I really wish there was an option: "other".

I really would love to see the "Atromancer": you know, the conjuration specialist that binds atronachs: Flame, Ice, Air,...

But a monk would be nice too, a spellsword, and a bard. In that order.

red_emu

If I was to guess. There won't be a new class any time soon. Don't forget, Warden and Necro were in development since the release. Maybe in a few years they will add something. My bet is a new skill line.

But if I was to dream on, I would love to see a BattleMage. Yes I know. Technically every stamina spec of every class already in the game is already a Battle Mage but would be nice to have something more fleshed out.
