In the same pile of paper work as "fixing server performance"

The good ol'catch 22

I think this is a great topic for discussion. Although the Warden as a new class is a step in the right direction, the older classes need some new jazzy trinkets.

This is a staple in most MMO's: class evolution and change breeds new life in a game. Just about every MMO I can think of will usually have class additions and evolution as part of its growth. ESO has long avoided this.

On the flip side, the game has had a tumultuous existence since launch, and much of the time was spent literally re-creating the end game and balancing whole new concepts into an already published game. That in itself is something that few MMO's do, and to survive as a game during that process speaks to their success.

I do believe that it's tome to move onwards, and look to breathing new life into the game via class additions. I would love concepts like the monk, the bard, or the nightingale (whatever that actually is, not sure personally) as elite classes. We already morph our skills, why not morph the class!

I could even see multiple choices for each class as specializations. Example: a sorc could choose the Necormancer option (more powerful summons and additions summons), or the Elementalist route (lose summons but emphasis on powerful elemental spells.

It would even be fun to see a crafting specialization option: as an example, allow each character to specialize in only one specialization: Blacksmithing could have weapon or armor specialization, woodworking could have staff or bow/shield spec, clothing could have melee (stamina) or magic specialization, etc.

It can be a big can of worms if you open it too far, but they'res plenty of growth room. Specializations could unlock at 50, and give you something to do outside of watching your CP bar grow.

We need old skills, passives reworked and fixed, not new ones. Polishing up the game would bring more life to it than adding more broken stuff. And why do you need new classs and skills? Are you telling me you’ve mastered every class and play style in PvE and PvP?

They are doing their best to nerf class skills to the point of them being underpowered redundant versions of general skill lines. I really doubt they are thinking they need to make more class differences for them to nerf until they don't matter. You never know though, they did see fit to make a 5th class to add to the 4 at the same time they were trying to make the 4 not matter as much.

I would be surprised if sub classes were added into the game.

What I think might happen is extra class skill lines added, it would support the, any class any role play style.

That might open a healing skill line for classes that do not have one at the moment, extra dps skills or even tank ones.

Would open more diversity in builds....and of course people to buy extra character slots to try these out...

-insert cha-ching noise-

I would like a class change system. So if I've got a maxed out Templar and I want to change him to Sorc, then I pay crowns or whatever and I'm a sorc with a brand new skill tree to develop. Now here is the catch. I want to have the option of going back to being a Templar later. So let's say I'm about half way into the sorc class and I decide I want to be Sorc again. I just go pray at some shrine or whatever and then I'm a sorc with all of the skills reset with skill points to apply to previously developed class skills.

At this point I can switch between the two classes by going to a shrine somewhere and basically paying in game gold for a skills reset and an additional amount for the class change. I want to be able to do that for each class.

Then I could truly only have one character, but experience the game from all the different class perspectives now and moving forward. It's just that I can only be one at a time.

I feel like "Moar Class Skills!" is a thing that fits better in one of those sixteen-bars-of-skills type MMOs, where you have bar space for everything you want to use.

(not that I ever filled my bars in WoW/etc.... too much skill management, I could never handle the keybinds and had to click most of it. )
