✭✭✭✭✭Yes, Please

A few carefully woven words and a melody can translate into feelings, and feelings can motivate your corporeal form to take action. Action can change the world. Action can level you up.rexagamemnon wrote: »I don't understand how the skills of a bard would translate into battle. I mean what would a bard do, sing at a drauger until it dies?
Bards, songs, writers, playwrights, poets, movies, books, video games... They can inspire, terrify, mystify, confuse, heal or harm. That's why you're here. On a forum. Reading words. And your reality changes. You carry something new with you because you read someone else's words."Words have power. Words are power. Words can be your power.
You can change a life, inspire a nation, and make this world a beautiful place.
Isn't that what we all want? Isn't that why we are all in this hall?
Your mouth can spit venom. Or it can mend a broken soul." - Mohammed Qahtani
Edit: Also very loud noises can burst your eardrum.
...music is a -language-. Much like the ones wizards use to cast spells. I mean, if you get down to it. all wizards really do is speak arcane phrases a their enemy... only in a magical world, those might have a magical effect, right? So... enter bard spellsongs... (see above for some old thoughts of mine on the matter)

what can be more stuped that start to SING during a hard boss fight?
Try listening to "We Need a Hero" from Bonnie Tyler during one. You will change your mind. If not, then beat Saints Row 3 (or watch the final mission) and you will see what I mean.
I also believe that Persuasion should be Passive from Bard not Mage. Makes no sense. Mage could have something else like Glibness. Thieves guild could get Streetwise.

of course...
And i'll play a bard if Zos signs on Lindsey Sterling to do the Music. She is a real Bard.

✭Maybe/OtherWould rather the devs built:
1. Weapon & Spell melee Magicka line
2. Necromancy world/guild line
3. Appearance morphs for Warden & Sorc pets.

jaschacasadiob16_ESO✭✭✭✭✭Guilds should be mutually exclusive. A Vampire in the Fighters guild? A stamina Nightblade who can't cast a fire bolt a Master Wizard?
Then it would make sense to have different characters, each with his own story."Yesterday while searching a barrel in vVoM I found a lemon. Best drop of the whole run."
Protect the weak. Heal the sick.
Treasure the gifts of friendship. Seek joy and inspiration in the mysteries of love.
Honor the Earth, its creatures, and the spirits. Use Nature's gifts wisely. Respect her power. Fear her fury.1 -
stitchesofdooom✭✭✭✭Bard's College was officially codified under the Guild Act at the same time as the Fighter and Mage guilds.It could have some nice bard-style buffs/chants along with distinctive passives.
What do you think?
Do a multi stage questline, sure but what, you gonna music people to death?
lmfaoSay NO to Crown Crates. Crown Crates are Loot Boxes. Loot Boxes are gambling. Zenimax makes enough money off us.
ESO+ is part of the "Games as a service" trend. A trend that needs to die. Subscribe only when you need Crowns for DLC.
Say no to "radiant" junk quests replacing proper side content and the dumbing down of our favorite franchises.

No, bards sing/chant/humm to inspire group with buffs and all; they still use the same weapons we use now.
I am not suggesting adding harps or instruments as weapons or any such nonsense some might have seen in other mmos.

✭✭✭✭Maybe/OtherA music/Bard skill line would be great for healers and tanks as a method for Buffing yourself and/or others.
Also lore wise would be a great way of expanding on the races lore.
unique songs from various cultures and factions

ideally a new guild skill line would offer skills such as single-target (snare/charm/fear/etc.) as well as support skills so that it would be versatile to anyone who would want to be a Bard.... skills would ideally be very versatile and appeal to all...

Again. in this game the bard+dancer uses instruments/whips as weapons + uses skills to support your group, heal/MPregen/Stamregen/faster ASPD/shorter cast time etc. + they can sync together to give even greater buffs
I thinks some stuff like that would be cool^^
Or at least give us like a bard skill line which is only for fun and rp like DB/Thieves with different Instruments and the ability to create "macros" to create your own songs etc.Thuu chakkuth lod Hajhiit c’oo? Hajhiit gortsuquth gorihuth thuu gooluthduj thdeitoluu!

dont get me wrong .... Im fine with such a class/skill line existing just I dont see much use for it personally,
rather like the mage guild or psijic order skills which I dont use on any of my characters

✭✭✭✭✭Maybe/OtherOnly if we would have heavy metal skill line xDEdited by Mayrael on March 15, 2019 9:57AMI'm done with this game because of ZOS pushing us into Vengeance, because they don't know how to fix Cyrodiil.0 -
Xerikten✭✭✭✭Maybe/Otheroh yes we need a class that is a jack of all trades and a master of none. don't we have enough of that already with the way people make builds.
I wouldn't mind having a school if we can get the npcs to join and learn to play something different.

✭✭✭✭✭And... what would this skills be focused on ? Playing on trumpet or what ?!
Psijic skill line was themed around utility, based on the lore (time manipulation, mysticism etc.). What would be this new skill line for ?0
