I would like 3th morph like selfcrafted. Or you can take one of your morph and can add another effect 1time for every classtree. On that way you morph that skills you are use more wisely

I believe you should consider this is not a easy feature. Adding a third morph implies all current and future abilities will need to give that option which no only increases balancing issues but also give ZOS much more work to think about what those morphs should do.

I believe they should convert every ability to have a stam and magicka version on morph phase. Example: if a double hand skill uses stam as primary dps resource upon morphing it should present a stam or magicka version. Conversely, a destro ability that uses magicka should allow you to choose a stam version.

For PVP abilities this should be the same. Vigor is stam only and its not fair magicka users can't use it.

All ultimates are fine as they are.

I honestly don't think that the morphs themselves need a stam and magicka morph. That in itself seems rather, limiting.

Take a look at the skill elemental blockade. You could bandage it with a stam morph, or you could create a skill like:

Hearth-fire Caltrops:
throw powder coated Caltrops on the ground, that ignite and burn over [x] seconds, dealing [y] flame damage.

The flame damage here could scale based on stamina due to it allowing you to carry more heavily coated caltrops, or more of them. This could be expanded upon, whereas how the hell do your muscles spontaneously create flames.

@Giles.floydub17_ESO

I can't say I'm fond of mag=>stam or stam=>mag skill options, but that's just my suggestion if it were ever to happen.

On the subject of other skill lines not having enough (Soul), or not having an ult (Und), yeah, They could use some. However I look at LM,TG, and DB right now as just passives. Though it could be cool if there were skills associated with them (like the TG having a cloak skill, or DB having an execute (that is the blade of woe but used differently)).

Does zos analyse on a per class lvl which skills get used the most / the least? would be interesting if for example the bottom used skill(morph) of any class gets redone on a quarterly or semi annually basis...?

@Giles.floydub17_ESO

Yeah, which is why I'm leaving TG, DB out of the picture, (and haven't touched on them). The cloak would be situational anyways (see the fighter's guild, hidden hunter morph suggestion) anyway, such that the NB would still have the superior combat cloak.

... dude. I freaking agree with you that stam/mag skills should generally deal their respective damage category if it scales with it. I was just showing how (if for whatever reason they decided not to do that) I would like to see it done.

Warm Fuzzies have nothing to do with it. If it adds a new avenue of gameplay, that's what I'd go for, and if not, at least make it unique. I don't want to make skills that have zero use anywhere in the game.

Take an undaunted ult: Undaunted is more about teamwork and synergies. Adding anything damage related will make it overtuned or undertuned when considering a skill such as aggressive warhorn when it comes to boss fights. So, for an Ultimate like that, you could take a look at survivability and/or CC (Essentially an Add ultimate). Templars already have an ultimate that fits that bill (Nova/Solar Prison), so perhaps adding a player buff somewhere would be nice, and perhaps swapping the positions of the stuns could work too:

Unbroken Bonds:
Rally the Bond forged within you and your allies, pinning all nearby enemies with chains for 5 seconds and dealing [x] Physical Damage. (Stun comes first, good for tanks to hold down an area when they've rounded them up). An Ally can activate the "Unshaken" Synergy against a pinned foe (So it can't be used against bosses that have no nearby adds). Causing the player to cry out and grant themselves and all nearby allies Major Berserk for 4(?) seconds.

Now this is an ultimate best used in coordinated groups when it comes time to burn adds. Useful for scenarios such as with Firemaw in City of Ash II, wayrest, and for tanks who want more control over the field. Since it requires a pinned target for the synergy to be used, it won't replace warhorns usefulness when it comes to horn rotations against a single damage sponge target except for a few bosses who have suitable adds (which means that it becomes a situational ult in place of warhorn occasionally)

of course that's all speculation.

(Here's the morphs I'd add)

Strengthened Bonds: Synergy also Grants all players minor protection for 4 seconds.
Healing Bonds: Synergy also heals all players for [x]
Reaching Bonds: Increases the radius and duration of the pinned effect.

What's the point? Combat "balance" is an utter joke right now and pve is boring as hell because of Morrowind. Adding morphs to abilities is pointless if it's a damn chore to manage resources. Combat itself is stale and restrictive now - those morphs wouldn't even be able to be used much since ZoS requires all DPS to be primarily Lightning Staff heavy attacks.

Summon Shade -> Furious Shade

Significantly increases the damage that the shade deals, removes the minor maim application.

This would actually give magblade some gearing flexibility allowing them to more effectively run War Maiden and even Necropotence.

Also not a morph but something I've always wanted:

Undaunted level 10 passive:
Seasoned Plunderer
The drop rate of items already in your inventory is reduced and the droprate for all other items in the loot table is increased.

Awesome ideas @Avran_Sylt

Sorry that so many people apparently can't conduct criticism constructively.

I actually really like the work and thought you've put into this, and I really hope that ZOS gives this a look for the sake of build diversity and more options.

A major deal-breaker, though, is balancing, and you know how capable ZOS is at that.

Dragonknight -> Ardent Flame -> Firey Grip

Derisive Grip
Also taunts the enemy for 15 seconds.
