What Class would you add to the game?

Realistically, I'd like to see a Dwemer Artificer.

I think a lot of people hear "class" and think "My favorite class from D&D or BG3." Yeah, we can all consider a Monk or Bard, but remember that ESO classes have to have 3 skill lines, and those need to include skills to meet the requirements of the three major roles. And (as much as some people don't like it), all of the DLC classes we've had are pretty obvious about which line does which.

That's why I don't think "Fight barehanded!" or "Lute Hero Remix" is enough. That's more like a new weapon line, not 3x class lines.

But for an artificer...
That's got an easy breakdown in the lore already. We've got almost a natural healing line in Tonal Magic (which could then allow people to bring out their best Bard ideas) as a way to heal/buff/debuff with sounds, and there are several quests in ESO already that talk about the power of Dwemer tonal magic. Another easy line could be Automata, as pet summons and some of their explosive weapons like grenades for DPS. And finally, we could have the tanking line lean into Steam Power to create vamidium armors or drop defensive buffs.

Would have been ideal if they make a chapter exploring the Dwemer. And they don't even have to get us really any closer to solving the actual mystery. After all, all the discoveries would be just totally up for interpretation... And we have so many NPCs with long lines in-game exploring that, not only in ESO -- and no one ever got any closer, except maybe Divayth Fyr, but he never told anyone.

I would remove classes and left their skill lines available for everyone

Something with shapechanging that's a toggle, not with a short timer like WW. Like EQ druids/rangers.

Something not overly magic based. Maybe a Dwemerologist who uses Dwemer automatons and artifacts in their rotation.

Honestly would rather existing classes get updated to be up to par with Arcanist. Or the resources put into making class change tokens possible. I'd go Arcanist in a heartbeat, not for the theme but because the class plays really, really well compared to the older classes.

If only it didn't mean 'giving up' all my main's progress and choices.

I'd like to see a Necromancer class added to the game. It has consistently been one of the most requested classes since beta and there have been some hints pointing towards the class becoming reality the most recent chapters.

Necrom the city of the dead filled with ancestor worship and commerce the first being a form of socially acceptable Necromancy and the latter a black market to deal with black soul gems and corpse smuggling. Also featuring a class themed on bargaining with a Daedric Prince.

Now we are headed back to Cyrodill with scribing a precursor to Oblivion's Spell crafting and the Mage's Guild questline in that game heavily involved necromancy. We are learning to alter skills and abilities which could lead to a faction split in the Order of the Lamp inspired by or making deals with the Ideal Masters to scribe new abilities using the dark arts! The next chapter could have us working with this split from the faction maybe called the "Moonspirit Lantern" or "The Soulflame Torch" who harness the power of necromancy and raising the dead, but have discovered Ithelia was brought back by Meridia.

This will fit into the lore since both Ithelia and Meridia are Magna-Ge so Meridia would have some inkling of memory or feel the missing presence of her older sibling. This will start laying the framework for whatever plot Meridia has in store for Tamriel in future chapters. We could even see her Golden Knight and our lost friend Darien Gautier for the first time since Summerset at the end of Golden Road. It would be the perfect time to introduce the Necromancer class since Meridia is famous for her hatred of the undead.

TaSheen

? Well, that's a different "take" I guess.

Moothos

an actual necromancer

right now we just got grim reaper cosplayer, but at least he can mow your lawn with his scythe

Why do people keep saying "Monk" for a fighter class? a Monk is a person who wears a robe, lives in a Temple and usually has the ugliest haircut, they are also religious, wouldn't Pugilist or Fighter be more appropriate?

Besides Aang (and Tenzin) we also have Beau from Critical Role


It's a D&D thing for many but also in older TES games

ArchMikem

Can we not have another Class that's themed around a specific entity or color?

I'd love a BattleMage or SpellBlade. A true Magic/Melee hybrid. Mainly because I want a 1Hand&Spell weapon tree.

Katahdin

none, we have enough and more than one has been gutted to take away its class identity and give things to give to a new class

I kinda wish the game was classless and we just used weapon skills/guild/world/alliance skills.

The Dwemer can't come back if they're still not here by the 4th Era.

How about town guard?
You'd have 10 million health and the ability to one-shot any player.

I'd love to see something weird. Like really weird. Bard and Monk, Engineer etc are cool but...

FF14 has that Astrologian
Mesmer is in Guild Wars 2
Sorceress/Witch in BDO
Sheogorath (all the butterflies)/Mind Magic in ESO
The Prophet/Varus in Eso with all the butterflies and teleportation

Ritualist in Guild Wars 1
Painter is coming in ff14s next expansion
Lotro (lord of the rings online) has Runekeeper

Shadowbane (when it was around)
Furies and Huntress were amazingly fun

Then there's the game with the psionics, the telekinetics, think something like Jean Grey, we're missing a lot of that here too.
THere isn't really a class that can Push, Pull, Hold, etc all in one unless we jump through a few hoops.

An Astronaut with a terraforming skill line, that we can take into Starfield and use.
