Spears idea(s)

Hi,

I had an idea when using Templar and lightning staff. Why not make a spear skill line with the animation from the aedric spear skill line and the passives/damage of the destruction staff skill line. The light attacks would be just one hit, while heavy attacks would be a dot like the lightning staff heavy attack. The head of the spears would change the passive you have. Please give me your idea on this :) of course i know the animations are not easy to make, but spears are awesome and always are being asked for in the elder scrolls titles.

    Spears! When I played TES III Morrowind, I specifically made spears my main weapons just to use them. I had a lovely glass halberd. Man, now I really miss that game...

    Don't care about implementation really, just gimme spears already.

    Easily can borrow staff looks as no one would develop a new weapon model for an old motifs, make it hybrid one like possible magicka melee option or stamina depending on morphs.

    Fine by me, as long as they're pointy.

    I currently use (I forget which one, some basic elf thing I think) a transmog on my staff that makes it look like a spear and have it dyed to look metallic (the silver one you get from jewelcrafting is an exact match to the scale accents on the event paladin armor style). The animations for the Templar spear line go so smoothly with the staff, and the silvery gold color goes really well with the gold glow the weapon gets when you use the skills.

    It is pretty perfect for anyone who wants a spear character. The only thing off about it is the light/heavy attack.

    I know it's not as good as a dedicated weapon... but it's really close.

    I think they could easily make a pole arm skill line that includes staves, spears, and halberds, just like dual weld includes swords, axes, maces, and daggers. They can even use the current staff skins, even add it woodworking for crafting, and no one would care.

    spears could be the equivalent of daggers in the 2h skill line. daggers give crit chance from dw passives, spears could give crit chance as well from heavy weapons passives

    Yes but it will not fit in with the animation of 2h weapons. Also the attacks of spears should be fast like the aedric spear.
