I wish they had more diversity in the Destro Staves - Elemental is nice and all but some times it just doesn't fit the theme of a character, I wish they would add:

Shadow Staff - They could reuse a lot of the animation they have in the Nightblade powers, so it wouldn't be difficult to do.
"Light" Staff - a staff whose effects look like the Templar powers Gold Light, again easy to do and could share some of the animations.
"Negative Energy" Staff - it is already in the game, its the ones some Daedra and Necromancers use that look like blue translucent energy - several of the Warden Powers use a Similar effect.

With the exception of the Ice Staff a Magic Tank is very limited in weapons it can use that really benefit it and work thematically, so why don't they Add:

Wands - single handed versions of the Staves that can be used with a shield. Probably would do less damage then its 2h counterpart but It wouldn't be that hard to change some powers and make one a taunt (if you just wanted the wand as DPS you could just skip over that specific power).

The big one a lot of people I am sure ask for is Hand to Hand, and I figured a way to make it viable for either stamina or magic characters...

"Brass Knuckles" for Stamina and "Claws" for Magic - You would buy one or the other weapon style, or heck have one bar of each if you wanted to. They would use the same animations and same weapon skills, only difference would be what the heavy attack recharged. Out of all the ones I listed this one seems like it is a no brainer and should have already been done at this point.

All the ones above aren't really that much of a stretch using the stuff in the game, this final one might be, but would still be cool.

The rediscover a crossbow designed by Dwemer that fires bolts of magic instead of arrows, this would allow Magic Based character to have some of the fun Bow characters do without suffering in the power recharge area. Might not be exactly the same as Bow skills, but they could get pretty close. In fact in the game the one Fighter Skill Line power "Silver Bolts" already makes use of this type of weapon, and the graphics it uses shooting out of the crossbow looks far more like bolts of energy then physical bolts, especially if you choose the Morph that fires multiple bolts at the same time. So the base animation is in the game, they would just have to expand on it, but it would be a really cool Magic Weapon.

    while I agree with Eyro, I have to admit the staves suggested sound pretty cool.

    If i could be a little more specific from Eyro...

    Anything but a frost, ice or lightning and restoration staff. I am so tired of holding those staffs.

    Gimmie a shadow staff my nightblade would be all over that! as well as the negative energy staff!

    Negative energy staff could have a heavy attack where it sends a spectral hand out from the staff that stays connected too the staff and the opponent for the duration of the heavy attack and latches on to the opponent and for the duration of the attack slows or life steals or something like that.

    Everything except brass knuckles and "negative energy" staves is a big no.

    Wands don't make sense in lore.
    "light", "shadow" and "dark" magic are already things, just used by their specific classes (Templars, nightblades and sorcerers)
    Hand only magic was kept out of ESO for some reason by ZOS, so I assume that they have good reason for not having them.

    I know, right? That's why the "Spell Focus" idea in the aforementioned discussion of mine is one of my favorites...

    Feel free to add suggestions to my discussion too! ;) I always keep hoping people might take my ideas, and let them inspire them, then add something to the discussion I didn't think of... :) (Not that this would keep me from picking apart such ideas, when I feel they may be suboptimal... but on the other hand, that means I can hardly complain when others do similar to my ideas :D )

    Just go play DDO for a few days. Then it should become glaringly obvious how wands/scrolls/and other various weapons can be sensibly added into a game.

    We need skill line for using our fists, and so we can use our fists and an additional weapon. This will really add to immersion and is a good way to introduce a way for players to apply important buffs/debuffs.

    Sure.
    But then, if they cannot balance things in four years, they won't balance them tomorrow either, or next year, or ever - it will -always- be a catchup, they implement something, find out some of it doesn't work as they thought it would, nerf this and buff that, find out some of it doesn't work as they thought it would, buff that and nerf this, find out... you get the idea, right? ;)

    So, if balance is and always will be a "work in progress"... why not have imbalance with -more options-? ;)

    I don’t see why they couldn’t add spears, they clearly meant to as the game has a full set of animations for it, just go to the skywatch fighters guild hall, outside are npc charecters sparing with one handed spears, between the matched pairs their are quite a few animations. There is no way you would go to that much effort just for a bunch of random npcs that most players just run right past. Especially in a game where almost every class is using the same set of animations for at least half their skills just with diffrent effects over the top
