A 2h halberd that increase crit chance would be nice, already have a 2h version of axes maces and swords that have the same passive as there DW counterparts, Halberd would just be the 2h dagger equivelant.

I want a LASSO!! Anyone who has seen Wonder Woman knows it can be pretty darn wicked!

Polearms are always neglected in games. They are the most widely used and promonent of all battlefield weapons in history, but just get swept under the rug.

The reason is animations. A sword, a mace, an axe, they all have a generic swing animation. But adding in polearms of any type would require a whole new animation set and devs are too lazy for that.

I think it's more because of the "Rule of Cool" factor. Swords are almost always prominently featured in fantasy because it's the most popular of the ancient melee weapon types, with axes being the second most commonly seen melee weapon type in fantasy.

In comparison, weapons like spears and halberds are often thought of as being "boring," "unexciting," and "not quite as cool as swords and axes," and are often excluded from video games completely likely because developers often don't think weapons like spears and halberds are cool or would be fun to use.

Now flails, those are definitely a rare sight in video games because they are generally a nightmare to animate, although Bethesda did create flails during their Skyrim game jam so ZOS potentially has a starting point if they want to add flails.

Personally, I disagree with the notion that weapons like spears and halberds are boring and would not be interesting or fun to use in a video game. TES III: Morrowind and World of Warcraft have spears, and I think Dark Souls games have spears as well IIRC.

I'm not sure why developers like to avoid crossbows, though. That must be another "Rule of Cool" thing that some developers have where they think bows are infinitely cooler than crossbows for some reason.

I think the last Crossbow I saw in an MMO was Asheron's Call. An armsman in Daoc might have been able to use one to pull too if I remember right but it definitely wasn't for damage.

The last game I played with spears and halberds was LOTRO and I enjoyed them there even though with spears I prefer the option to go one or 2 handed with them. Both class that used these weapons (Captain and Warden) were a lot of fun to play. Captain was such a unique play style.

I'd say some kind of magicka based melee range weapon. So something like a spell focus gauntlet or something to that effect.

ESO NEEDS Alteration and Illusion staff skill lines to help diversify magic options. Alteration could be the "S&B" tanking staff skill line (freeing up frost to be reworked as a viable DPS option) and Illusion can focus on CC and de-buff spells for group support and utility.

Stamina should have more ranged options - a Shortbow (or Crossbow) and a Longbow skill line, instead of a single "bow" skill line - one is faster, short-range sustained damage while the other is slow, long-range burst.

The biggest problem with adding weapon types is the dilution of the loot table for specific gear drops. New weapons can't be added until ESO has a reliable token system in place for endgame content. vMA is bad enough with its unreliable drops - adding more crap to it only exacerbates the issue.

What do you think this is? Ninja gaiden? This is fantasy medival style.

Here are the new weapon types that would be great to add. That fit into common fantasy medival style
some of which can be added into the current weapon skill lines.

Duel wield skill line:
Short swords like in oblivion days

Staffs add Wands and tie in magic equivalent for duel wielding wands from duel wield skill line.

For sword and board add tower shields and flails to the mix

Add a new weapon category.
Hand to hand combat.
Weapons included in tree are:
Brass knuckles , claws and magic aura (aka lighting flaming and cold fists

Polearms!
Short spear with shield
Long spear
Scythes
To be added under the 2h and sword and board skill tree

how about new shield versions, Main Gauche with Katar/Centus on edges of shield, they are known as punching shields.

I'm ready. Except for the trait research

No thanks. I already have about 9 weapon skill lines I can't afford to put points in.

I have almost every skill point possible in the game (398/399) skyshards, all areas done(I do mean all-minus vet trials and the new one on normal) You not suppose to be able to put points in them all. I can tell you though if get all these skill points on a character that isnt a crafter(with max SP's in all crafts) you prolly could come close. You shouldnt need too though. I mean the game is pretty cookie cutter sadly. As a magplar myself the odds of me using anything besides dual swords/resto/destruction is pretty low if at all. So why would I need skill points for the other weapon lines. The whole point of new weapons is to make new builds. Yes, we got warden.. but does playing a warden REALLY feel any different with the limits on available weapons we have had for 3+ years now.

Soul Shriven style. The Axes are Scythes.

Yes, but I would love if they would be a magicka type of weapon (as i play a magplar)
they could then use a "necro" kind of skill tree

Single bladed, double bladed, or quad bladed?
