bunch of haters in here 🙄🙄

Yes people that disagree with you are "haters".

I honestly would guess at a spell sword weapon line coming with Hammerfell next year. I would also guess said line will be a hybrid weapon. All total speculation, but that is my guess.

@eso_lags people are allowed to disagree with you, y'know.

I think it's a neat idea, especially as someone who always wanted to try a stamina healer build. In theory, I would also not have minded stamina morphs in the destruction staff abilities - as well as magicka morphs for those weapons that now solely scale off stamina - but with the current way things are, this idea here would certainly be easier to implement without changing the already established skill lines. And those skills you came up with also don't sound too bad!

Of course they are. And if I think people are hating for the sake of hating, or because they dont understand the game all that well, im allowed to say so. At least i hope I still can, but who knows these days o_o

You have to admit some people just hate on peoples ideas in these threads. No argument, no rationalizing, just some random nonsense. Personally Im all for zos adding new things, it makes things more interesting. And a quarter staff sounds fun. Any new weapon sounds fun tbh.

On another note idk why people complain about mag users only having 2 weapons. Mag users have more skills on pretty much every class in the game (and yes its a valid argument). Id say its still a bit disproportionate in stams favor, but not by much at all. Either way, I dont see why zos couldn't do something like a quarter staff, with some kind of nature magic or whatever, and have the morphs go either stam or mag.

Or even a weapon with skills that scale off your highest stat. But all these things come down to balancing and effort. If zos doesnt want to take the time to do it, they wont. They'll just add a skill line like psijic or a new class every other year. Maybe.

@eso_lags fair. Disagreeing with something is different to disagreeing and being an ass about it. A lot of people get like that on the forums, even me at times. Internet makes people act weird.
As for the magicka thing; for a while now, stamina has been viable with both DW and 2H, which is great. Sure, the curse of the bow backbar "caltrops, trap beast, poison injection, endless hail" remains and is super dull, but some weapon variety is there. Magicka builds, on the other hand, are stuck with destro/destro, the only "variety" being what flavor of destro they use, but that has minimal gameplay impact.
As you know, some magicka classes operate in melee range, they even have skills made for it. If the devs want folk to play melee mage, they really should give them a melee mage weapon. It is only fair, in my opinion. That would be where the "one-handed and spell" thing would come in to play.

Of course, a new stamina weapon would be cool (although I personally would pick something else, personal preference). Variety is the spice of life. I just think magicka is in need of a new weapon and the "one-handed and spell" thing is quite iconic.

Better idea:
Polearms hybrid weapon skill line

2 types of weapons (both can be crafted at woodworking station)
- Spear (Better for Stamina builds)
- Combat staff (Better for Magicka builds) mystic monk style - melee magicka weapon

The line will be hybrid, meaning that all skills & ult will have stamina & magicka morphs.

A quarterstaff healing makes no sense whatsoever.

Stamina doesnt need another weapon line right now. They have 4 vs 1 for magicka.

If the quarter staff makes it into the game, they really should make new animation for these critical moves in this exact order:

Ha Ha
Guard
Turn
Parry
Dodge
Spin
Ha
Thrust

Things go really bad when the order is off
