Rather than changing tank morph to dps or heal, why not create new morphs/skill to use for that purpose

I would too like more stam and mag morphs of skills but no more class skill lines.

3rd Ability Morph seems to be the most promising. It would help bridge the gap in cases where a Stam or Mag morph are either lacking or are rarely, if ever, used. Great example would be crystal frags getting some sort of stam morph as a weapon skill projectile or something of that sort.

Idk. On live stream they were talking about all 4 original classes (NB, DK, Sorc, Templar) that their 3 skill lines were not originally designed as DPS , Tank, Healer skill line.
New classes - Warden & Necro were designed with that in mind from the start. So we might see some changes in the future.

This is true, it was during the Q&A part. They stated the original 4 classes were designed along with the lore and the Warden and Necro were designed along the DPS/Tank/heal skill line thoughts. I am hoping to see some change but how much can you do to the original 4 classes without gutting them and starting over.

Current system still has dead skills/morphs. Additional morphs/skills would make that more pronounced.

Till they get a better handle, my vote is on no.

We need more general skill lines that everyone has access to. For example it's been 5 years with the same weapons, magicka should have gotten another weapon by now.

Psijic Skill line was a nice addition, but it's the only real general skill line we have got during the last 5 years...

I know new classes sell the content (Warden and Necromancer), but I want something that I can use with my current class, shake the meta a little bit...

The more you add the more they have to balance and it seems they have enough trouble already.

There's no need for a 3rd ability morph--just make the base ability competitive with the morph options.

For example, take templar sweeps. Currently you have:
Base skill: Magicka spammable
Morph 1: Add heal to magicka spammable
Morph 2: Convert to stamina, add minor buff

This could easily be converted to:
Base skill: magicka spammable with a heal (i.e. Morph 1 in current system)
Morph 1: remove heal, convert to stamina with minor buff
Morph 2: Keep as magicka spammable, remove buff and tweak skill (add a buff, add a CC, etc.--this is the new "third" morph).

Essentially, the base skill is dead design space on most skills--making the base on-par with the morphs gives you "3 morphs" without redesigning the UI or anything.

4th class skill line, but I want most of them to be purely cosmetic/role playing. More like emotes that are tied to classes, and some stuff like persuasive will passive that should help with some quests.

Imagine wardens can sense where the plants are without any help from crafting passives, and they see them on the map.

Or sorcerers make portals that can only be used inside the cities.

Necros can summon their latest kill to dance for them and entertain them.

Anything that doesnt directly interfere with numbers and battles.

That Idea is awesome. Instead of an increase in power you would get more possibilities, I like that very much.
