2 new skill lines. One for magik, one for stamina. Not positive in what form they should take. 1h+Rune for magik, other weapon or Companion line for stamina?

Why not both?

This is very interesting! I always dreamed of a dagger/magic tome skill line! Something with Telekinesis and space manipulation spells!

After necro I'd actually pass on a new class if that's also as half baked. I surely want a new weapon or a lack of weapon line - melee martial one, just look at endboss of BDV, ultimate badassery and a conjured flaming sword, I want to play that.

Earrings slot sounds interesting though, but I wonder what stats could it possibly have to justify its existence. Not sure we really need that but if zos would have an idea I won't oppose more customisation.

I agree with you, a new class might be hard to nail but 2 new skill lines would be very interesting! an item slot would also increase customization, but as @peacenote suggested that might be a little bit problematic... perhaps ZoS can manage to balance things out by reducing the damage output or something like that (PTR is always there)

New weapon skill lines: One hand and rune and pugilist (claws, knuckles, etc.).

New weapon type: Pure Magicka destruction staff.

I noticed that fire/ice/lightning have their respective staves but we have no pure magic damage weapon, Maybe an orb, rune or tome can do
P.S: I love the pugilist idea!

I’d love to see some sort of EQ Enchanter/GW2 Mesmer hybrid.

Dumbfire pets like the Necro blastbones, that cause various effects depending on the skill tree. Aoe and single target glamours. Illusory damage with flair.

I would probably prefer something tech based. We have a lot of Dwemer stuff lying around. A class based around it's use would be pretty neat. No pets though. Good grief pets are overdone in mmos and always come with loads of baggage/issues.

Bard skill line, Magic a based - buff/debuffs that can be speced into DPS or Heals

Staff skill line, Sta based - lots of AoE attacks and stuns, DPS or Tanking

Ya it's unfair the options Magica builds get for weapons vs Sta weapons options.

More weapon choices for healing and magicka builds.

There's a lot of wasted potential in Stamina-based weapon skill lines. They hybridized some passives, but it didn't really accomplish much. All weapon skill lines should be customizable for any resource be it magicka or stamina, or they could just scale based on which resource is higher. We could have actual clerics with a frightening mace in one hand and a gleaming shield of impenetrable defense in another, an agile martial fighter with a staff, blood mages and necromancers that draw blood with their cursed blades and funnel their magicka through it as a focus.

In addition, I have no idea why there isn't a skill line for a single 1h weapon. Why do games force player characters to occupy both hands?

There's so much useless and wasted skills in this game that if you took them all out of the game, we'd probably lose 60-80% of abilities depending on the class-role combination and it wouldn't change much in terms of gameplay.

The game doesn't need new classes, items, or other extra things. The game needs to consolidate all the current skill and combat systems and undergo a proper and sophisticated overhaul to redefine its core systems and create more meaningful choices.

There are a bunch of great ideas proposed in this post, very creative and thoughtful.

spellcrafting

Maomer as a playable race with their own class skills.
A hybrid, one hand dps, not one hand and shield, but sword in one hand and "magic light" in the other, for example, mages fury or sun fire.
