    There needs to be a special set that reduces the cast time of full charged ice staff attacks, does more damage and gives a bigger damage shield.

    Pair that with molten weapons, winter born and you've got a top tier character.

    I know @Toraf would not disagree ;)

    Give me my frost mage !
    In TES lore, Dragons do not only use fire, but also frost, poison and blood (depending on their color).
    And if I remember well, Dragon Knights in ESO are supposed to be using some form of Akaviri magic. So why only fire ?

    They're is no poison/blood Thu'Um ! HERESY !
    The DK use the "akaviri power/art" but the akaviri take this "art/power" from the dragon. (the Tsaeci have killed a lot of dragon on akavir then the dragon had leaving akavir to conquest tamriel)
    Sorry for my really bad english (it's 'cause I'm a stupid french you know #lol and I can't explain all of the lore about dragon/akaviri and Thu'Um ('cause bad english boo ! boo !) and YES I'm a huge god damn fanboy of TES V Skyrim).

    I got a piece of this set in vMOL and it made me think of this post. Get someone with an ice staff and wabam! Insta-ice mage. Shame there are no real ice class skills but... What can you do.

    they should add fire ice lightning & summoning skill trees for sorc & scrap the old ones, but most spells remain spells are just added & skill trees are changed, well maybe some will be removed, but most ramain, dark magic remains D Summoning will be conjuring & fire ice lightning spells go under destruction tree & ward & that defense spell from current lightning tree & that type of spells will be on alteration skill tree & one more new tree will be restoration & it has healing spells, then it feels more like Elders scrolls, i have been away from the game for a while, but i know things have not changed that much, i have been in game couple of times to see whats new, also 2-3 more spell slots to all classes they can be passive buff slots for a spell like Aegis if not normal spell slots, well if just buff slot separate then it can be just one, its separate like ur special skill slot R what u need to fill up with combat

    so i am not interested in just ice build, i want all elements like i told above it will give more of a ES feel to it or skyrim feel or how to say this

    no idea does it goes against lore, but also why not add blood magic to this game & druid magic, both can be learned from quests, maybe to get blood magic u half to do something considered evil & for druid type magic something for nature ppl like the ones in daggerfall first are Forrest or like the mission where u had choice let nature free or let it stay under human control & let the princess or who she was become next with that power

    & also warrior skills are bit slow & boring specially DW skills, overtime u get bored with it like sorc it needs refreshment, well all classes need that the skill choice in class skills is so small, that's the reason i have only 1 free char slot left i played with meany chars, in skyrim i did not have that issue, i had no reason to make new char until i finished current char

    most issue i have is with trading sys cause u depend on guild & i like to depend more of myself cause when i make long pauses from game ur contacts Disappear inducing guilds, after u have been away ur lone wolf when u get back at 1point, spamming on chat WTS is pain if u have a lot of stuff, i know typical action house would be a problem ppl would abuse it & prices would be ridiculously high, i know a game where that happened, first it had personal shop ur char was a store & when they added action house it became to grindy game, but personal store wasn't bad & they should add this to this game & make it work

    also there is issue with learning traits, i no longer know what i have & what i don't which pieces with what traits i should sell & which should i keep cause of that i have so much junk with my smith char (& also with others) that it drives me nuts, well i remember some traits can be learned from combination of multiple other traits if i remember correctly, skyrim way would have been more simple, just use spell to add trait, spell & Soul-Gem, current trait sys is pain in my opinion

    i like the game in general, but some things bug me, specially when ur lone wolf & sometimes ur forced to be lone wolf, specially when u don't play so often

    one question how long u half to be + member to get permanent all dlc access?
