I think the game has a really good mix of race characters to choose from but I would think for developers it would be far easier to give us players more skill tree choices though.

I like all the classes but feel that a ranger class with animal taming/pets would fit very well into the ESO world.

I want to see something like what @TheShadowScout posted. I think each class should, at some point (say veteran rank 1?) be given a short quest line to select an "Advanced Class" or "Specialization". This would add a new, fourth skill tree to their class skills. Each class would be able to pick from one of two advanced class trees, one focusing on stamina builds and one on magicka.

Dragon Knights would pick between Pyromancer and Warlord. Pyromancer for the magicka-based skill line, providing more ranged fire spells and effects; Warlord for the stamina-based skill line providing group and self buffs and debuffs for enemies (war horns and things like that).

Sorcerors would pick between the Necromancy skill line, focusing on magicka and summoning, or the Berserker skill line focusing on lightning-based melee combat.

Templars would pick between the Cleric skill line, further improving healing and offensive holy magic, and the Dawnguard skill line, using stamina and crossbow-style attacks with bonuses against undead and daedra.

Nightblades would pick between the Warlock skill line improving offensive shadow and blood magic, and the Ranger skill line allowing the summoning of toggled animal companions (similar to sorceror pets) and providing some trapping/mobility skills.

I think and would like to see a priest/healer class or skill tree added to the game which would also fit in well.

My suggestion was to do away with set classes and allow players to choose any three branches they want. But ONLY three.
I.e., Take one branch from DK, and 2 from Templar. Or 1 from NB, 1 from Sorc, and 1 from DK. Or all three branches from 1 class tree.
Allow the players to mix and match what they want to do, how they want to do it.

I don't think you want to see a shieldstacking jesus beamer who can cloak at any given time.

Rather than classes I'd rather see new skill lines that would be opened up by the players choices in the game world.

Joining the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood would open up their skill lines, dedicating yourself to the service of 1 of the Tribunal, Eight Divines or Daedric Princes would open up their skill line, there might be other groups like the Greybeards, Morag Tong etc.

Many would be mutually exclusive. Any character could do anything but not everything.

A unarmed combat class. Like I guess a monk or something. I miss my character from Skyrim that punched dragons in the face.

Khajiits already favor this type of combat.

My god, there would be some super OP combos.

Instead of adding more classes, I rather wish they would completely remove classes from the game or allow you to create your custom class - Elder Scrolls style.

Spellcrafting would have been a step into that direction, but I think that idea quickly became vaporware after Quakecon 2014...

We'll see. Battlehorn Castle (Fighter's Stronghold dlc for Oblivion) took so long to be made that it was often referred to as Vapourware Castle on the Bethesda forums before it was released. I'd rather they take their time and make a decent dlc than do a halfassed rushjob.
