Next Class to be Released?

DTAmoral · June 18

What are the odds that we will ever get a new class?

Obviously there are balance changes, and performance issues that need to be fixed before we start adding new classes, BUT all that aside.

What new class would you want them to add to the game?

Maybe a Spriggan class? Could be interesting.

Sylvermynx · June 18

Really don't think we need any more classes. You might check some posts in the other thread about this a couple below this.

ShawnLaRock · June 18

My bet is 0 chance. We'll get more mini games and a PVE Cyrodiil for next chapter, and that'll be it.

Like Warden, Battlemage was actually originally planned to be in the game from Day One.

For whatever reason it was scrapped.

If the theory that we are going to Cyrodiil next year holds true, then I would be surprised if the class is not Battlemage.

I want to see an ebonflesh spell in the Battlemage's tanking skill line. Also it feels over due to walk though that gate at Varen's wall into the Colovian Estates.

Maybe there could be a meta orc Magicka build.

drakthir · June 18

They need to hire more animators before they do, i swear if they bring out another class that makes weapons go invisible after every class skill use im gonna freak out.

kathandira · June 18

I think the only damage type that isn't already majorly focused on by any class is Oblivion Damage.

Perhaps a new Class and Race could work for that. A Daedric Race, and an Oblivion Damage class.

Zos has proven this statement wrong on more than one occasion.

I just hope they dont go with the same route as with Necro and Warden cause then magicka will be lackluster for PVP

cmetzger93 · June 18

No new classes I hope. I would like to see more skill lines open up that all characters can use.

Banana · June 18

Class change first please

Inhuman003 · June 18

The two most favorite classes are Bard and Monk on past forum polls so that's what I'm going on by the ESO community's choice but ESO Dev's and ZoS its a different story. But I agree with some of the guys here about new skill lines or new types of PVP.

Aptonoth · June 18

Battlemage as cyrodil is next year. I hope we get melee magic weapon with it as well to make the class make sense.

Sounds pretty lame when sorcerer exists. It would be like releasing a brawler type class while Dk exists... Oh wait.

Zorgon_The_Revenged · June 18

All this combat standardisation could possibly be moving towards them releasing spell crafting. Players might be expecting a new class next year, releasing spell crafting instead would break the cycle, and open it up to "something else" every couple of years and not just a class.

A new class is a lot of work for the combat team, 3 themed skill lines and a few new animations (and some old ones

). Necromancer theme worked well, but the Warden frost line seemed a bit odd (could've had a weather themed skill line, might have worked better).

This is my best case scenario for the next chapter. I have been waiting for it since it was announced 5 years ago

Tessitura · June 18

I'd rather see some new weapon skill lines instead of a new class. Weapon and Focus for magicka, and spears for Stamina. It's the dream I want but will probably never get to have. ( By focus I mean things like spell tomes, orbs, crystals, and skulls. What it looks like would depend on the motif style. )

Ri_Khan · June 19

The last thing this game needs is another class. Half of them are useless as is. Actual balance of current classes without involving the marketing team trying to sell new content needs to to happen first.

VividMind · June 19

what's top rn on suggested classes is a monk and a battlemage i would prefer a monk though tbh ;p

willjones1122 · June 19

Both battlemage and monk (which are at the top for requests) aren't really new "classes" - they could simply be new weapon skills i.e. unarmed and sword/wand, foci, tome, etc. A new class for me would have to be something more than just a stamsorc or magblade with different animations. I know people have requested bards as well... But i am not a huge fan of the concept. Plus there's no real need for a charisma based class considering the limited dialogue options and as a buff/support class they would have to bring something major to replace a tank or healer. Honestly, I just don't see them adding one in the near future. New weapon skills and some more magic lines available via the mages/psijic guilds I could see.
Tl;dr i don't think a new class is on the list, but some new weapon/combat skill lines would be what i would bet on.

RPGplayer13579 · June 19

If there really are any plans for new classes, there should be a class change token.

GrimSlayer · June 19

I've had my fingers crossed for a bard class.

Oliviander · June 19

In my opinion it is rather time to give up on classes altogether, than introducing a new one.
As we have only 12 skills to slot we are limited enough.
And by opening all skill lines to every character all balance issues will be gone :-)

Asdara · June 19

Performance>Spellcrafting>anything else
the game doesnt need a new class, it need balance, fix, rework

LeHarrt91 · June 19

Im all for New Skills Trees like Mages, Fighter, Psijic. I dont want to level any more characters.

YES and that's the whole point TES game, everyone can pick everything they want there's no class

I agree no new class but instead I hope existing classes get a few more class identity instead of more generic skills so every single class uses 7 of the same skills.

For instance:
An extra morph option for a number of class skills
Class specific weapons
Class specific outfits

Except of class specific weapons which are contradiction of Elder Scrolls tradition - you can use whatever you want playing who you want.

But class specific morphs of skills... That's awesome idea!

Tommy_The_Gun · June 19

New class = heavy nerfs to current class that has similar theme.

No, thanks.

highkingnm · June 19

If there is another then I’d want Battlemage and I’d really want it to be a tank/heals focused class (obviously with some DPS potential). I think a slower more tactical class could be interesting, maybe where chaining attacks in certain ways changed them (which could give a great chance to use Alteration/Mysticism) or where building stacks of buffs is part of class identity. Something to give it a unique flavour that reflects the lore of Imperial Battlemages.

I’m not sure if we’ll get a new class, but if we do I think it’ll be Battlemage. I also think that would be the last one for a very long time.
