New weapon type with Skyrim?

seipher09 · December 2019

Anyone think there is actually a chance of getting a magic sword/wand/scepter/rune or anything for magika classes so we can finally get a break from staves?

Gilvoth · December 2019

crossbow would be Awesome.
or some flying stars.
maybe hand to hand fists.

Those sound stamina based lol.

I figured stamina has bows, 2H, dual wield, sword and shield. Magika has....staves.

SodanTok · December 2019

Crossbow or alteration staff just so OP is happy :P

I would really like to see 1h+spell

crossbow might thematically be cool but I think in reality it conjures images of a slow and painfull playstyle. Reloading for example.

Longbow would be cool. Or shortbow.

I like medium range playstyles and dont like bow snipes, kinda locks me out of physical builds.

I'd like to see an alternative to weapon/shield for tanking/defense. Hopefully it would be magicka based, and focus on resource sustainability and dodging rather than blocking. Maybe have the ultimate grant a few seconds of dodging with no cost.

Maybe, I’m hopeful. There’s already a mage guild line and someone mentioned Whiterun in Skyrim. What else would they add in a mage themed expansion?

validifyedneb18_ESO · December 2019

sword and spell
spears (propper mid-range melee stuff), or glaives
shortbow
some kind of sorcerer channel that floats around or just allows mages to cast with hands
summoned / magic melee wep skillline
hand to hand combat (monk style)

Just prepare yourself for dissapointment, all this talk of new weapons is a result of community chatter as far as I can see, not a leak from the top or anything else that would indicate this is whats coming. The chance that this completely new idea from the community is exactly what ZOS have been working on for the last few months is very slim.

I'm usally not much of a roleplayer and don't care if I'm holding a stick or a sword but I wouldn't mind seeing something new. I love to theory craft and I agree that it gets a little boring for magicka specs since we are pretty much stuck with staves these days. I would be interested in rune magick, maybe 1h sword and rune? I think they could create some interesting passives. There could be different types of runes which would have different effects like runes that give you a bonus to different elemental spells or defensive runes that don't give you damage bonuses but defensive bonuses. There would be many possibilities. I'd also think summoned weapons would be interesting for magicka. Something like you would hold something with which you can summon different weapons that give you different passives. Depending on what situation you are in you would change the weapon to gain more range damage, meele damage, defense, mobility or other buffs. This might be hard to balance though and idk if this would be a too complicated system for ESO.

Not a weapon. A skill line. "Blood Magic".
>;3

HappyLittleTree · December 2019

Brawler stamina based class

Bard guild skill line

Hand-to-Hand weapons.

I can feel my spider sense tingling! I hope this happens

Also I would like to see sword and spell or enchanted weapons skill line for magicka characters.

- Spear & combat staff (could be a hybrid weapon skill line)
- 1h & spell (could also be a hybrid weapon skill line)

Isn't it basically a Siphoning skill line than NB has ?

Isn’t the siphoning NB line about siphoning your chances of winning in a battleground and giving it to the other teams?

Jk, Jk.

idk · December 2019

Is there a chance. Of course.

Does anyone actually know what we will get, yes but they will not speak about it in this thread.

Siphoning does not do the idea of blood mage justice.

DOS2 all-in necromancers for example are thematically and artistically amazing, using all sorts of blood magics to fortify themselves into tanks, teleport and explode corpses, call down a storm of blood and decay.
All amazing to look at with bright red blood effects and punchy sound effects that make it so thematic and cool.

"Enchanted" weapons to do magic damage with phyiscal weapons, would be one of the best changes they could add

dorogov.alexeyeb17_ESO · December 2019

Tambourine weapon

Xvorg · December 2019

Claws

so I can play a Wolverine toon

nihoumab14_ESO · December 2019

Personally instead of a new weapon, I'd like them to give all 6 classes a 4th class skill line. I think this could be used to shore up the original 4 classes to bring them in with the philosophy of the new 2 (i.e. a damage line, a tank line, and a heal line), but also use this to create 2 distinct damage lines, a stamina line, and a magicka line, with some crossplay between the two in the form of a morphs that change the resource type on a few of those abilities.

Gnortranermara · December 2019

Survey says >50% of players want new mag skill lines, either Spellcrafting, Spellsword (or 1h+focus or w/e), or new staves for the other mag schools (Alteration, Conjuration and/or Illusion). Really hoping for this.

<4% of players seem interested in new stam weapons at this point, and those would require new art models for every motif style already in-game, unlike mag weapons. Seems unlikely.

Based on the "Dark Heart" theme, there a chance for Vamp Lord, which would be cool if a Dawnguard guild line is included for the uninfected. A Vampire Lord vs Werewolf vs Dawnguard PvP zone might be fun (although super cheesy and cringy...).

It's been nearly 2 years since the awesome Psijic skill line, and combat gameplay has gone downhill with every single update since then. If they fumble the ball yet again, and fail to produce some nice new combat updates, 2020 will be oh-so-appropriately known as the Year of Hindsight and wondering where all the players went.

That or brass knuckles would be awesome however if its given a gap closing skill line attack anyone who can't handle a hot kitchen will demand it be nerfed. You should see the pages of people demanding the various ones available now be nerfed into uselessness.

I doubt a new weapon type will come with the next chapter, but one can hope

It would be very interesting to see diversifying of bows into shortbows with short draw time for CQC, and a longbow with a bit longer draw time, but also increased power and range. Could be great for bow-bow builds.

Personally, I would hope to see a one-handed rune/spell option. Would make for interesting hybrid builds.

Nord_Raseri · December 2019

Berserker/brawler type skill line would be my dream.

VocalThought · December 2019

New Weapons:
1) Runes- One handed, used in main or off-handed, midrange attacks. (Ice, Fire, Lightning, Force)
2) Pole-arm- Staves or Spears meant for midrange melee combat. (Blunt, reduces physical penetration or Sharp, increases Weapon Critical Rating)
3) Crossbow- Skills same as Bow, but has a longer cast time and reduced skill points.

New weapon skills:
1) Dual Rune- L. Attack, H. Attack, & Block consume Magicka. L. Attack chain starts w/ main hand Weapon, H. Attack chain starts with off hand weapon. All skills are Magicka based.

2) OneHand & Rune- L. Attack are stamina. H. Attacks & Blocks are Magicka. All skills are Magicka based.

3) Pole-arm- Stamina skills

4) Crossbow- Skills same as Bow.

Isn't it just that phoenix guy making a butt ton of nerf everyone buff me threads?

You know: 'it is my opinion that gap closers should never stun' but he thinks streak is fine 😂

relentless_turnip · December 2019

I am really hoping they make some sort of enchanted weapon that scales off of max magicka/spell damage. I really don't want block to be magicka I like having a separate resource for it and have never enjoyed frost staff because of this.

I do frequently use s&b in PvP though and it would be nice if my light attacks hit harder... Of course any melee range magic weapon would be cool though👍

I just don't want magicka based block...

we already have ice staves for magica block

also s/b bb in pvp is a real fun killer.

datgladiatah · December 2019

I'd love to see the rest of the schools of magic as weapons + spears and a hand to hand line. Alteration magic can have shields/disables/buffs/debuffs and be more orientated as a secondary bar for healers, conjuration could more offense orientated, mysticism and illusion could really be anything because they have so many spell options
