Would you like to see a new weapon skill line in the next chapter

idk

Whatever Zos has planned for adding with the next chapter they have already started working on it. In other words, this thread is really discussing 2022 chapter if it is intended to give Zos ideas.

BTW, a magicka weapon is what would be likely for the next weapon if Zos adds any. Stam already has 3 weapon lines designed specifically for damage while magicka has only one.

IDK about strict Magicka Melee bc magicka builds are made for mid to ranged distanced attacks, you will leave them in striking distance without as much Stamina as Medium Builds to Escape AOEs or block heavy Damage attacks unless they have a shield up constantly which pretty much defeats the DPS viability if you are solely focusing on defense.

I chose this option bc I'd like to see another Magicka weapon to revitalize Magicka Builds so we don't always have to use a staff.

Wand and rune or just a Sword/Dagger and Offhand that's reworked for Magicka based attacks that as I've suggested above should be at least mid-ranged.

This has been requested countless times so I wont get my hopes up but one can dream.

NO, BECAUSE

All I want for Christmas is a working game 🥺

NO, BECAUSE

No, i just want my skills to work without having to press a button 7 times and not die to skills that hit me 4 seconds after I’m already dead.

Everyone asks for spellsword (and I agree), but anything hybrid would be a necessary change imo for the authenticity of the brand. You know... one of the biggest titles that has always promoted hybrid play, until ESO...

I would almost prefer that each class get a fourth skill line, or if weapons received 1-2 more skills.

Gun or crossbow would be fun.

Crossbows would be cool, but I could see the regular bow skill line working just fine, just allow us the option to equip a crossbow instead and use "bow" skills. Also make a subtle change, like in ES5: Skyrim. Crossbows deal more dmg, but make you attack slower.

If I see guns in ESO... I'm quitting. One of my biggest pet peeves is blending medieval fantasy with modern technology/steampunk. Clockwork city already irks me. Dwemer technology has always been vaguely reminiscent of modern technology, but still mystical and magical enough to still blend in with the lore universe... until ESO.

I always just smh at "balance" arguments. Lets pretend its a valid argument: at least then we would have more meta builds available, instead of seeing everyone running around as the same 1-2 options...

I agree if you could wear Crossbow and still have the bow-skills it would suffice. Hahaha I can understand your frustration. I liked guns in WoW, that's why I thought it would be fun, but I can see your point.

What we have right now isn't balanced, why are we adding something else?

@Radiance how well will a mDK do with ranged, or even mid-ranged, attacks? Seems they would suffer greatly if they had to stand at even a moderate distance from the target.

YES, MAGICKA DEFENCE

Alteration and illusion staff so dps can get their ice staff back(use already existing staff motif)

Also spear stam dps

And rune/bare hand magicka dps(something that would looks like dual handed spell in skyrim) if they make rue apparent they could use tose class logo(or whatever they are called) as the rune, for exemple warden would get the bear paw rune other stule would be added later

NO, BECAUSE

No, happy with what we have. I think back to the amount of people requesting wands for magicka and I just shudder at the thought. I’d prefer skill lines such as a bard skill line for more buff variety over adding another weapon which does nothing except for aesthetic.

Unarmed skill line please.

I've always had a few suggestions for both mag and stam but mag just needs more atm.

1) Spears [Stamina]
A new ranged stam weapon that you can just keep on throwing. Does more damage farther away but can be used up close.
2) Magicka Javelins [Magicka]
The equivalent of a spear for mag. It could have a neat recharge animation in the user's hand. They can also be used to stab at close range, but do more damage from far away.
3) Scythes [Magicka]
Melee mag, kinda speaks for itself
4) 1h/rune [Hybrid]
Can work as a tank or hybrid DPS. Magic in one hand and steel in the other, or rubedite I suppose.

Not entirely sure how hard these would be to balance but these are just ideas to start a conversation and answer the forum post.

already getting one.....

Thought this thread would be about a weapon skilline we would like to see, not about the specifics of mag/sta already hehe.

Personally I would love to see a chakram skilline, half ranged/half melee. And it would fit in the game, since it is not a modern weapon. I do not want guns or anything else modern in an elder scrolls game, it doesn't fit.

If they introduce a chakram style weapon motif you already have that in dual wield, even the zena bounce throw.
