I would love a buff/support class like the Lotro Captain. I picked DK cause it fit the role the most but it's still pretty far from a real support role.

My first preference would be a Bard.

As far as animal summoning goes, I would prefer to see that as part of a World skill set so that anyone could work that into a class build. A Templar, DK, or NB could have a companion.

I am of the mind that an Engineer really does not fit with the ESO aesthetic. Please no guns, bombs, and robots.

No, we don't need more classes. Just today I 'discovered' the potential of the mage guild spells. Specifically, entropy and equilibrium. With those two I can change my NB main into a pure leech spell caster/healer class like I was trying to when I created it.

Like Ers10... etc. said, not more classes, but more spells. You just need to be clever about what spells and skills you put points in. I know someone in my guild who is trying to make a D.O.T character like a wow warlock, which that seems fun to try.

From what I understand, you will eventually be able to fill up all your skills. So there will be plenty of skill points to go around, you just have to work for it.

As for classes, if they do add more, they probably will add to the guild classes, for example, Bard guild, with special skills in that tree.

ok so if they do add more skills to the world section then that means you would have to respect a few timed and that costs a lot of money. maybe if they did something about the whole gold in balance then it be different but that's a whole other subject.

Its cost me around 7500 gold to respect 157 skills...that not a lot.

They need a Bard/Skald etc from DAOC style , buff/debuff, class

As others have said as well;
Make new skill lines/guilds, not new classes

Personally, I would prefer no classes at all, and be able to mix whatever skill lines

i agree with you completely, but since they are not going to do that then i will still wish for a proper stamina based assassin class. that uses invisibility constantly.

someone posted a thread about a necromancer class and I loved the idea of summoning corpses, performing curses and everything being green. I think the poison making skill coming later would work well with this class.

I was also thinking about a class that could summon pets or be able to tame certain animals in eso, there are a lot of different tamable animals. like the different senchi and wolves. I see npc with the ability to summon pets and that makes sense if your a archer. maybe some spirit skills too for buffs or attacking in the form of animals.

engineer class would be cool since they do have robots in the game. the dwemer use to be really advanced in technology so that's not too far out of the way. maybe the mages guild found the schematics and now everyone is learning to build to stuff and use these robots and new weapons in battle or adventuring.

how about a wood mage that summons wood golems and wood magic. use vines constrict and throwing rocks. maybe can add water magic

these are just some ideas I thought about and read on the forums.

Dwemer Constructs are not Robots!!
They are essentially Golems, advanced and powered by quasi-technology, but still golems.

And they might add a new summoning class one day, but only one, and it won't be a necromancer. Necromancers are always the enemy, you can't join them.

Dragon trainer that can mindcontrol dragons and DKs

I made a Necromancer concept a few months back.. but have yet to finish it. I personally can see a few new classes appearing, once the current classes are balanced and whatnot.

Been and gone.

Pre launch there were at least 5 classes and possibly even a sixth. The fifth was called Warden and was a nature themed defensive spellcaster.

Removed about a year before launch, supposedly due to too much overlap with Templar.

I mostly agree with this. Like, I would prefer ESO not to have classes at all. But since they're there I'm stuck with trying to pick one and I'm not a big fan of any of them.

I'm not much into melee so DK and NB don't appeal, plus I'm not much into the darkness theme of NB. I normally play healers but I'm not a fan of the templar designed for melee pbaoe type heals. I'm also a bit indifferent about the light theme.

So I'm left with the sorc by default. Sure I normally play casters and I don't hate pets but I don't particularly love any of their skill lines. The upside is they are 3 thematically completely unrelated skill lines (unlike other classes) so it feels less like a class and more like the single-player games.

But it's a marriage of necessity. I'd divorce it in a heatbeat given a better alternative (for my tastes) like the Warden.

When Spellcrafting comes in I think that will (or at least should) help with some class type magics like the necromancy wihtout making a necromancy class.

I don't know about necromancy but those of us wanting nature themed spells will be getting our wish with spellcrafting. They've shown animal summoning and an alteration school barkskin spell. I'm hopeful there's more.

In fact I'm hoping there's enough that we can - if so inclined - ignore our class abilities entirely.
