Spell Crafting - What's your First Priority ! ?

Food4Thought✭✭✭I was always a fireball kind of caster myself. Unleash from afar and then let the target come to me. By the time it did, it was already half dead. Easy as Sunday morning.1 -
Obscure✭✭✭✭✭Step 1: find Fire
Step 2: find Balls
Step 3: make Fireballs!
Spellcraft days complete. Spam full range Fire AoE with knock back effects as a Dragonknight and no longer concern myself with anything else.
Though I truly hope they add Stamina and Health consuming spells to the options. The whole system seems like a giant middle finger to heavy armor, medium armor, and Stamina specs in general:
"Hey guys we've got great new options for you to make spells of your choosing!"
"What about stamina specs?"
*gun shot*
*head explodes*
"Anyone else have a mother ***ing stamina question!?"
*silence*
"That's what I ***ing thought."

Why? It's actually adding stamina regen from the Restoreation school so you can sink 100% of your majicka into stamina potentially.2 -

✭First thing I'll do is find a pub, get drunk, and then find a corner to cry in over melee getting nothing.2 -
Tyr✭✭✭✭Aslong as the "Spell" crafting system has Stamina/melee based building aswell.
Id like to be some sort of extreme fiery bersker dualwield DK, id like to be able to charge or jump to enemies and bash them in but be a powerful glass cannon.
It's spells from the various schools of majic. the only things in the schools of majic for stamina/melee based builds are stamina restoration and the flame/frost/lighting cloaks(which will still cost majicka).
I'm hoping that the stamina restoration spells will be powerful enough to quickly dump 100% of the majicka pool into stamina.1 -

What I want to do is make people realize is that spell crafting is just a name, and by no means is it something only mages can make proper use of.
There will most likely be loads of spells that buff up stamina builds, things possibly such as increase weapon damage or armor resistance etc.
i don't know about "loads of spells". There's nothing in the 5 schools of majicka we've seen so far that increases weapon damage, but maybe in the alteration school we'll see it.
There is majic armor/stoneskin/oakflesh, etc... in the alteration school, health/stamina from the restoration school and the flame/frost/shock shield from destruction.
I don't think we'll see spells that directly increase weapon damage, but stamina builds aren't really lacking direct/burst damage, they are lacking sustain which will get a boost from stamina regen in the resto school.1 -

Soooooooo Stamina specs can still be sub optimal compared to a spec that evenly splits between Magicka and Stamina? Sounds lovely that they'll not only be less versatile, but also have less resource recovery as a spec completely focused on that resource. Seems totally balanced...
Face it. Stamina specializing is just the wrong way to play ESO. Sure, sure, play as you want. But "wrong", "bad", and "stamina specialization" remain synonymous descriptions of the same build style.1 -
Moonscythe✭✭✭✭✭I miss incinerate with stagger so that's my first thought. We won't get levitate but a water walk might be good and I would like a longer invisible. There is a potion of course but I have always been a caster by preference. I would also like an open lock since I suck at this lockpicking game.Scura di Notte - Altmer Nightblade (gear)

Making our pets have attacks would be fun. I'd like my monkey to fling poo, making it aggro enemies when I'm getting overwhelmed.0 -

✭Frost and Flame attronarcs doing some major damage while I get heavy with the crowd control.
Or maybe make them healers so I can go all out melee

roomcreep✭✭I'm mostly worried about the animations. Will all destruction-based spells have the same animation? As well as conjuration having its own and illusion its own etc.? But every damn illusion spell looks the same?
I know it'd be impossible to make every spell have an individual animation, but I'm hoping they give us like 20 movement animations and 20 particle effects to choose from for each crafted spell.
That way, even if say 2 people have the same spell effect, it would still be cast differently whether through the movement or particle effects.
I want all my spells to be green. Green lightning dammit!0 -
Cyberdown✭✭✭my first priority is to figure out how they are going to do spell creation.. All this talk is moot until we have specifics. It might be 100% different than what we all expect it to be...in fact im sure it will be this...
I don't see them making the game into a bunch of "im everything in one shot" type healer/tank/sorc/stealth players. im sure it will be restrictive.
I think it might be more like putting an enchant on gear...only you do it on a spell..so instead of it morphing into A or B (which might still exist) you can enchant the spell to have..increased proc of effect, less stamina or mana use, increase damage by 10....stuff like that. That would make sense. Despite I would love a morrowind style spell creation thingy-do0 -

Cyberdown✭✭✭yeah actually just reading this thread...and the post above me...man I think there are going to be a LOT of really disappointed people.
I really think its going to be more enchanting of existing skills with a new effect or trait.0 -

That's still not terrible though, even though it's nowhere near as fun/useful as it was in Daggerfall and Morrowind (and maybe Oblivion but I never played it).0 -

✭✭Conjuration, rise the dead
Or life drain. In worst case,I'll make a permanent fire atronach spell. So, anyway conjuration is the first priority for me.Profanity filter is a crime against the freedom of speech. Also gags.0 -
