Which new possible class would you like to see happen?

I'd would like to see a Templar class that wasn't nerfed to hell and back

Druid like WOW. My favorite MMO class of all time. Being able to shape-shift on the spot to change role was great.

I would rather see these added as skill lines.

I don't think adding a class is a good idea at this point... it will vex people who already have been playing for a long time and done eight characters into the veteran ranks... even with more character slots coming to the crown store, it would be really annoying to see a new class pop up and think "Oh, my, that one would have been so much better for this character idea I had back when, but I can't reroll now; I made the charcter as this old class and played for over a year, researched all the crafting and maxed my riding... arrrghhh..."

Nowever, more options -are- a good idea, and that is true with classes as well.

Thus... what I would want is something along the lines of Class Mophs. No surprise there, huh?

Douing it that way everyone can have "new classes", be it those who start now, or those who have been here since launch - just with an fourth skill line added to the existing ones and calling the whole a new name...

Hunter

Hunter because I enjoy going around an MMO and gathering up pets and learning how to best use their skills. If done well you learn a lot about the games bestiary.

... Other : Spellcraftting.
I don't want them to 'introduce a NEW class". they'll need to give everyone a free transfer. and then the game will be 90% Meta class of that one week they introduced that, 5% meta class of the week after that, because some people went for it, and 5% "Insert new class here", because of the curious people who did choose to wipe their character progression on class skill lines to a completely randomly new one..

Necromancer

Necromancer, because I remembered all the fun I used to have in Age of Conan with my necro and all the pets that he could spawn, looked awesome, but could lag out a raid with lots of necro's lol

Kildayen · February 2016

Necromancer

The 3 classes j would love to see are a bard, necromancer, and enchanter.

The bard would wield swords and an instrument, allowing him to inspire the group with his music. This could add things like weapon power, dodge chance, stamina regen, or even running faster.

A necromancer would be able to summon the undead souls around him while also have deadly dots, the ability to fear an enemy and also feign death.

The enchanter would have the ability to control the minds of other mobs. She would also have the ability to buff the group (increasing things like magical pool and regen), enchant your weapons and spells with special powers, etc.

Pls no

TheTwistedRune · February 2016

Necromancer

Necromancer definitely. Or at least a Necromancy world skill line to appease those who complain about class balance, or the need to balance other classes first.

I have said this in similar threads but four classes is way too few for a modern MMO. In my opinion of course.

Necromancer

In TES lore is so much about necromancers, when we can play it?

Jura23 · February 2016

In most fantasy worlds, necromancer would be executed if he walked into the city. Is ES lore different in this? Like necromancy is legit thing?

SkylarkAU · February 2016

How about a Dwemer inspired mechanist/tinkerer type class that has stuff like dwemer pets, traps and gizmos, and the ability to harvest souls for soul gem things that do cool stuff.

threefarms · February 2016

None, ZOS needs to fix the classes it already has.

Gilvoth · February 2016

i cant see how you guys think that a necromancer class is going to do any good.
the only way a necromancer class will survive in pvp is if they can necro some extremely POWERFULL and i mean VERY powerfull PVE creatures. and i know for a fact that aint gona happen.
if it does happen by some chance then it will iether be nerfed to death and the class be terrible like all the other classes or ... hmm, if they do make it OP then i will make one, but im just sayin tho they aint gona do that.

Spottswoode · February 2016

Necromancer

Probably the most requested on on here.

Elsonso · February 2016

I think the Necromancer class should just remain NPC bad guys.

The Templar class in this game is the most muddled class in the game. I think that the problem with Templar is that it dilutes healing with offensive skills. They need a really strong Priest healer class that is focused on magical and physical healing and "divine strength" so that people can be stamina or magicka focused, or a mix, depending on how they want to play. They would provide healing and defensive and offensive buffs to allies and curses/debuffs to enemies rather than doing direct class-based DPS. Direct damage would come from weapons instead of offensive direct-damage class skills.

Aside from that, what I think of classes today is mostly that they are all trying to be the same thing. We have four largely magic-based offensive combat classes that use magicka, and more recently stamina, as the basis for their magical abilities. Before ZOS adds any new classes, they really need to sit down and clarify the roles, abilities, and properties of each class. Edit: with 4 classes, these should be mostly not overlapping in abilities and properties.

everyone just kites the PVE creatures around and makes them follow them while they kill the real players and ignore the PVE creatures.
how do you think a necromancer is going to do any real damage with thier summoned creatures in pvp? lol
necromancers will be laughed at and killed

MornaBaine · February 2016

Necromancer

I understand those who would prefer to see classes done away with entirely and more skill lines brought in. That would be my perfect world too. But for reasons passing comprehension ZoS went with the stale MMO standard of classes rather than trying to make this a true multiplayer TES game. I don't think they are going to totally revamp the entire game at this point to correct that mistake. That being the case, there really are far too few classes. And necromacers are a popular request. So I really think ZoS ought to consider it.

A templar

We need balance, and hence a metagame controller. A class with protect and 'punish' skills would be great.

For example: for every melee attack you receive over the next 3 seconds, reflect 80% damage.
This will stop a lot of wrecking blowers and actually put some meaning in placing attributes in hp.

or antispam

For example: The next skill used by target enemy will be disabled for 5 seconds. Only one skill disabled at a time.
(players can choose to burn low cost skills to mitigate the effects i.e. repentence, etc.)

Forestd16b14_ESO · February 2016

How about a "none" options seeing how the 4 already in game are horrible imbalanced.

D0ntevenL1ft · February 2016

IMO a necromancer will not be able to compete with the existing classes. Sorcs pets just got a juge buff and they still arent going to be useful.

kirk_lewis_ESO · February 2016

I want a necromancer that can summon darknight like undead or just give me a darknight. The armor designs tend to be tops.

Wow did it right. The classes have a story that make their roles make sense. With this game, the narrative behind the classes will eventually make no sense. Assassin healers and templar assassins. Just watch.

No, especially right now that the world's biggest necromancer, Mannimarco, is wrecking havoc in Tamriel. A Necromancer would have a hard time staying alive and free right now.

There are actually quite a few arguments in the lore for necromancy not always being a terrible thing. Also, like vampires and werewolves, only an idiot would walk into town with a pack of shambling undead and say, "No worries folks! I'm just here to knock back a few ales at the tavern! I'm a good and friendly necromancer so have no fear!" Short of seeing your cahracter in action raising and controlling the dead, there's no way for anyone to KNOW they are a necromancer.

Problem is, NPCs often see our character in action. Many quests are in busy hubs.

About necromancy not always being a terrible thing, I imagine you are talking about Vastarie? She practiced "good necromancy", and we could be her disciples, but her study is hardly used for combat (it was more for gathering information from the deceased).

In the end, Necromancy is still banned and shunned pretty much everywhere.
