In the trailer the Warden can be seen holding a spell in one hand and reaching for his sword towards the end of the trailer. At first I was like this is just trailer magic and just something to make the action look cool but Zos have release pictures that may further prove that their could be a new skill line with Morrowind.
Here is shows the Warden with a spell in one hand and a sword in another.
Here this time it shows a player character with a spell in one hand but instead of a sword it looks like a staff. So this skill line could use both a sword or a staff with a spell. This would be interesting if we could get more info on this.

Think it's just general 1h magic0 -

Was thinking the same but it feels too off to have this many pictures and the trailer showcasing this. Plus this is not the first time Zos has release pictures of something that eventually got into the game.1 -

✭✭Would be great to have a magicka weapon that could be held in one hand - so magicka characters could finally get 12 set items using magicka weapons, and not having to use stamina weapons.5 -

✭Oooo conspiracy!!!!! I would so dig this. And if this 1h spell skill line allowed you to duel wield it. Not just like sword and board where it only works with a 1h and shield.3 -

✭Could just be a new weapon, like magic short staff and a crystal in the other, basically DW but with new 1h weps for magic.2 -

✭I hope this becomes a thing. It's always annoyed me how my staff counts as a two handed but heavy attack, light attack, and all my skills the staff is only in one hand. Blocking is about the only time the staff is actually a two hander lol1 -

✭✭✭✭In the trailer at one point the Warden has a 2H sword, it vanishes and he has a spell. Granted in game our weapons magically vanish when casting a spell... but it made me wonder if they will have a summoned blade of some sort.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I'm still waiting for unarmed skill line

✭✭✭✭✭I think it's very possible because they changed dual wield not to give the double magic bonus along with this frost destruction staff change
Seems to all align now-PC (PTS)/Xbox One: NewBlacksmurf

✭✭✭✭It would be about as easy as adding some super high spell damage bonus for slotting only one sword or make the light/heavy attacks do magic damage if you only have one sword equipped. The gain would have to be big enough to justify the lost set piece. They could do it without too much effort if they wanted to.Edited by timidobserver on February 1, 2017 4:34AMV16 Uriel Stormblessed EP Magicka Templar(main)

✭✭I don't think its a new skill-line. Its just artist interpretation of the animations. If an artist drew a sorcerer casting harness magicka, you would think he was holding a spell in one hand and a staff in the other but thats just how the skill appears.
In all honestly i don't think there will be a new skill-line. This is just the artist drawing what the new Warden class is capable of. Casting Ice spells (blue) and nature magic (green).
Also in the pictures i believe the first one is a stamina Warden and the second a magicka Warden.

✭✭✭Thought of it is cool but in terms of end game spell and weapon damage, it won't be ideal imo0 -
DaveMoeDee✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭Would nice to see a 2 piece magicka weapon line. Perhaps the non-weapon hand could be some kind of orb or other odd item.1 -
Messy1✭✭✭✭✭
✭Yes, I hope it is conjured weapons, spellcrafting, one handed spell off hand, one handed skill line all combined together . . . add it all!!!1 -

✭✭✭✭✭I bet that stupid bear scales off magicka so it would be ridiculous to run 2H weapons with it like that guy did in the video.
Sorcerers have been asking ZOS to get rid of pets for years, or at least let them scale of magicka or stamina, but they are still terrible.
Will the warden class inherit all the issues pets have with sorcerer?0 -
Darkonflare15✭✭✭✭✭Credit goes Woeler
He found an icon of one hand plus rune weapon skill line in the files. This makes sense since Zos has been advertising this weapon style and stance in most of the pictures.

Problem is that that stuff goes as far back as beta. Not really an indication what is in development, even if it was taken out and re-added.
But then again, so was the Warden. Who knows.Alandrol Sul: He's making another Numidium?!?
Vivec: Worse, buddy. They're buying it.2 -
AKSb16_ESO2✭✭✭But if this really indicates an one-hand-magica kind of stuff, there must be an one-handed-weapon skill line too.
When you only use a sword it counts as sword and shield at this point.Edited by AKSb16_ESO2 on February 10, 2017 7:48AM0 -

✭✭✭✭✭It would be great if this is true but I doubt it. An entire new skill line?
Maybe we get just new skills for the older skill lines, maybe Mage's Guild or the recent usable weapons?
I mean a new class AND a new weapon would be awesome but sounds a bit too much for ZOS to implement at the same time.PS5EUAldmeri Dominion- Khajiit Arcanist -1 -

Didn't the warden in the trailer start with his sword, then cast spells while holding the sword (as in, just remove one hand from the hilt to cast and go back to grabbing the blade 2H style), then loose his sword and open up full magic?Darkonflare15 wrote: »In the trailer the Warden can be seen holding a spell in one hand and reaching for his sword towards the end of the trailer...
In any case...
More weapon skills would -definitely- be a great thing to have! Like...

Gavner✭✭Nice catch btw.
But if this would have been a thing, don't you think ZOS would have already announced it? Showing off is their strong suit. Everytime they released a new patch they always put on display everything that patch had to offer, even the small things. And this would not be a small thing.0 -

I don't know. I still hope there will be (at least) new class abilities but they haven't announced anything yet... on the other hand they mentioned the new trial as if this would be a thing that's super important for most players buying Morrowind...PS5EUAldmeri Dominion- Khajiit Arcanist -0 -

The one thing I could see is that they didn't announce it with Morrowind reveal because it won't be part of the expansion, but instead part of base game patch. Much harder to lock a new weapon skill line behind a paywall than a new class.Alandrol Sul: He's making another Numidium?!?

The Warden started with a 2h sword then left the sword in a dwarven sphere. He then casts a big ice spell that looks like a ultimate. After that if you look at his side, during the scene where Nayru is about to kill the grandmaster, he has a one handed sword in his scaboard attach to his hip. At the very end, you can see him have a glow of magic in his hand and he pull his sword out. The glow in his hand looks like the same glow from the pictures above. This is reason why I think it a new weapon skill line.1 -
