So, I wasn't around when it was datamined, but was there a reasoning why it never saw the light? I would love to be able to use that weapon combination, I mean, seeing the warden using a longsword properly was the best part of the entire Morrowind trailer. =v

SirMewser✭✭✭✭✭Same thing with spell crafting and horse racing, both had files being added to the data suggesting it was coming or in development, nothing to confirm when or if they will ever truly happen.

1H&Rune
Icon found
Can't actually recall if any of the weapon icons are actually used in game, the destruction staff types are definitely are not familiar nor is there a restoration staff icon.
Shown in Morrowind.
Even notice that the pit daemon banners are different at this time, prior to release. There was probably a lot of scrapped content including 1H&rune at this time, however, this is how they've chosen to preview it.
Shown in Summerset.
Then trolling us a year later.
We do need more weapon options.
Now it feels the same way with the wrathstone tablet looking like a rune, having a hexagram and being fragmented, as they explained in the quake 2014 news for spellcrafting, needing to combine the pieces.
We still yet to know what the next mechanical feature is that is coming with Elsweyr.

Damn, thanks for this insightful comment, like I said, I wasn't around back then, I only saw some videos on my Youtube recommended section about this, but when I started playing again I saw no trace of it.0 -

✭✭✭It could be conceived as a spell forming in the off-hand, as most of the classes have some magical skills. Still, a staff/sword/axe + rune would be fantastic.

ZoS shows awesome artwork and trailers.
Then you get in game only to find the weapon choices really suck when mixed with Stamina and Magicka.
S&B - Tanks Only
1H only - Not a thing... Really, it not weapon to wield ONE sword...
2H - For those who refuse DW
DW - The only front bar choice for Stam builds
Bow - Required for all Stam builds
Frost Staff - Useless unless a 2nd bar back up for TANKS only
Fire Staff - Must use for Magicka builds front bar
Lightning Staff - Must use for AoE back bar Magicka
NO creativity is allowed in ESO without being punished in end game. The way they did weapons and class skills with Magicka and Stamina has everyone forced to play meta builds or stay in normal's. 5 years this game has had to make a new weapon skill. But nah, they rather make Psijic skill lines, thieves guild, etc.
This has been asked for since release, 5 years ago, and I was one of the early access players who also felt this was foolish to limit Magicka to Staff only. Now, if you are a DD you may only use lightning and fire staff, and need both.
Soon the white knights will arrive to defend why they dislike what I said. I know this, but the fact remains that half a decade is plenty of time to have given a Magicka weapon skill line that is not a staff....Pact Bloodwraith3 -
Starlock✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭I have a magicka character who uses two swords on one bar, and a sword and shield on the other. I accept the drawbacks associated with that and have successfully worked around it by and large. I have to watch his magicka very carefully in drawn-out fights because he has no good way of recovering resources. His light/heavy attacks also get all of their punch from the weapon enchantments he runs. The changes the developers are making to one-handed weapon enchantments are going to straight up ruin that for him. It makes me mad, and it makes me want a magicka-based melee weapon line now more than ever.0 -
mateosalvaje✭✭✭✭Magical-based melee would be coolI've been wrong before, and I'll be wrong again.0
