Can you add Destruction Gloves to the game?

Chuggernaut · August 2014

They would act like the staff, but would be created by the light/medium armor maker and would take up the character's left and right weapon slots. They would come in Fire/Ice/Lightning just like the staves and would use all the same powers, but would require new animations (or at least borrowed ones from other skills for example heavy attack could use dark crystal charge us animation).

I would like this because

it would add a weapon to the light and medium crafters
it would allow for destruction magic use without our the harry potter need for a wand/staff

Correct me, but you want to use destro staff skill line with DW or 1H+S (or any other weapon but not with destro staff)?

KariTR · August 2014

Yeah, let's have clothiers make weapons...just because.

It isn't as if the 14*8 traits they have to research right now is remotely onerous.

umm dude this is not fable 3. i suggest you go play fable 3 as u clearly miss it. this is not fitting in an eso game really

Yeah. I kind of hate that they imposed the staves for the Destruction and restoration schools . I would have preferred something more subtle such as a magic focus for the oh so MMOish item that has to fill the slot and carry stats. I would actually play without weapons and only use class skills if not having weapons allowed swamping two sets of skills.

Actually not being forced to shoot spells with freaking sticks was a feature of all TES games.

Yeah . That would be pretty damn amazing. Just like in every TES game. I hope the spell crafting manages to do just that.

well you can use spells with any weapon so no you are not forced to use staffs. if you want to use STAFF ABILITIES then yes u have to use a stuff (See: bow skills requiring a bow to do. or the popular "Sword abilities requiring a sword to use")

so if they implement this i also want my gloves that let me do shield charge, arrow volley, snipe and cleave

other tes games didnt have weapon skill so your point is null.

when spellmaking is released guess what? you wont need a staff to cast a non staff ability..

and unless you are modding the game or something illegal like that, the quote "Destruction and restoration" skill lines have not yet been implemented into the game. (refer to: spellmaking planned implementation)

No just want to use Destruction staff skills without a destruction staff, so the gloves would just take the place of the staff.

I know it's not dude. I just want something different than a staff for using staff specific destruction magic. If it would make you feel better I'd be happy with an orb or ring that allowed me to use the destruction staff skills, the gloves would just be nice for the clothier since they have no weapon crafting in their line.

No offense, but if we're talking crafting balance, the clothiers don't need diddly. They're already ahead of the game. They certainly don't need to poach from the woodworkers.

Agreed, my Sorc does both clothing and staffs, and the clothing has far more stuff in it.

I want spell system like Skyrim. Shield and spell, sword and spell, spell and spell, all the combinations you can think of. I don't want to hold a stick and cast predetermined spells. I can't wait for spell crafting!

Stx · August 2014

This seems like a nice way to be able to cast spells without a staff or other weapon.

Mages look so much cooler casting with bare hands, I would totally love to see something like this!

SkillzMFG · August 2014

I think it's better if they just add spells that can be casted without a staff which I hope will be added when spellcrafting comes out

Circuitous · August 2014

I would welcome unarmed variants of staves, as well as a proper unarmed skill line.
