I was sort of, kind of with you up to here. But you want an ultimate that does nothing unless you commit a second skill point? Can't get on board with that unfortunately. And the morphs are just 3 completely different abilities. Don't mean to be harsh, but it sort of feels like you couldn't decide between 3 totally different morphs so you awkwardly made a hypothetical where they 2 are options.


And aside from that, I noticed what I would consider a slight over use of the word "Unstable" in the ability names. Firstly, variety is the spice of life so more in that department would be great, but also the Dwarves were engineering geniuses. They disappeared 3900ish years before the events of Skyrim (the Elder Scrolls game that is furthest along the timeline) and yet they have armies of mechanical drones, entire cities that remain entirely functional and self sustaining. It really doesn't make sense for half of their abilities to be unstable. "Mechanical" also had more of it's fair share of the spot light, but I can overlook that given that "mechanical" very much is the theme of the Dwemer.

I'm still holding out hope for a DWARVEN TINKER class!

Should be a class centred around this. Mages trying to replicate what the dwemer could do along with other things. Would be ESO version of an engineer class.

This would be a subclass like vampirism or other skill trees. Since the true knowledge are no longer with us, and no one seems to be able to replicate what they have made. Unstable is the perfect word for half these skills. We aren't fully able to perfect it, but we are in some ways trying to replicate it.

As for the ultimate, its not that im undecided on 3 different skills, I thought it would be unique to have a skill that ultimately branches into 2 different skills. The Lore with the skill is that your doing research hence its name as you level up. (No one ever uses a base skill in the first place thats not morphed) As for Morph 2's Ultimate alternate, I just thought of it on the fly while writing it.

As for half the skills, I've made them more Skill shot than lock on to add new mechanics to the game with extra spice for hitting.

I would like a full class for dwemers but I don't think it would be lore friendly since the Dwemer, disappeared leaving all there machines behind. My Subclass is kinda like your trying to replicate it, but its more like a crappy replica of the real thing. So any class can learn it giving everyone new tools to use in the arsenal.

Haha, it sucks, but antiquities are the more lore friendly way to discover dwarven/dwemer tech since its archeology. Its kinda like how tedious the psijic, and mage guild is. Besides I think it would be worth it for all the new tools and mechanics you can work with.

I totally support the idea of a Dwemer guild-type skill line. This would be a really awesome addition to the game.
Granted, I don't know a thing about what it takes to balance combat so I don't feel like I can give any kind of impute. However, this is creative and I think ZOS should really consider this.

My one request is can we PLEASE have the option for a Dwemer Spider combat pet.... please, please, please. Lol
There's this one little quest with the Dark Elf Twins (Vanos Twins, iirc) in a Dwemer ruin and you have to get a Spider to fight by your side. And all I could think about was how awesome it would be to have a skill line that allows for a Dwemer Spider combat pet.

Dwemer Artificer… way better than a bard skill line, imho!

This is pretty much what I thought. Would be a neat new class. Could tie it in with Telenger. Always liked him.

Yes I just want them to add more variety of buttons.

A bard skill support line would be awsome.

hey everyone thats already here!

i had a vague idea for a tonal attunement skill line... but my ultimate idea was abit different to whats here

i was thinking players could hold keening with wraithguard in their left hand, and smack the blade with sunder, creating a big forward resonating tonal sound cone that resonates a damage proc and also silences active buffs for a duration after.

ive always envisioned that this was the intended proper use of them. (not so much stabby hammer chisel mode imo)

(and we have a dawnblade ultimate)

i remember reading somewhere that since teso tamriel is before the events of morrowind, yagrum bagarn would be alive somwhere... would be awesome if zenimax considered a story/skill line similar to the psijic questline, where the player actually helps him to forge keening, warithguard and sunder, before theyre used for the events of tes3... i dont know if the lore specifically states when they were originally crafted, but if there is room for it within teso's timeline...
would be super awesome
