I like the idea of a class focused on pets. They could expand the world skills instead of a class, since the class seems harder to implement, not that I know *** about programming. But a world skill line for pets as you said, more magic schools for mages, such as alteration. A merchant skill, the possibilities are endless and since you have only 6-12 slots to use skills it wouldn't matter if everyone had the same lines.

Arcane Archer, like a sorcerer and nightblade mixed, class defining abilities: Bound Bow, Magicka Tap, Arcane Trap, skill lines, Marksman, Survivalist, Huntsman.

Marksman, Bound Bow, toggle ability, what you would expect, it's a bow acts as a third weapon swap (takes up 2 spaces combined on your bound bow skill bar and the skill bar you use for your regular weapon) light and heavy attacks with bound bow toggled on deal bonus magicka damage, morph 1 increases your max stamina and stam regen while slotted, morph 2 max magicka increased with bound bow slotted and increased magicka regen.

Magicka Tap, Survivalist, you restore x stamina at the cost of x magicka, morph 1, costs less magicka and restores more stamina, morph 2 costs stamina and restores magicka, OR restores magicka/stamina to nearby allies.

Huntsman, Arcane Trap, you place a trap at the targeted location, enemies that step in the trap are immobilized and take increased magic damage, morph 1, enemies now take damage over time and are snared after the effect ends. Morph 2, arcane trap now immobilizes multiple enemies within it's radius, all enemies deal reduced damage after effect ends.

While bound bow is toggled bow abilities can be used regardless of your currently equipped weapon, marksmen tree is focused on the use of magicka based long range attacks that deal physical(weapon) damage that's increased with stamina and weapon crit.

Survivalist is focused on stamina based attacks that siphon from the enemy and give back to you and your group mates.

Huntsman is focused on long range magicka based attacks, setting traps that snare enemies, reduce their resists, apply dots and generally weakening the enemy.

They need to fix and balance what they have before they even think about adding new ones.

There's always one. Sure they do, but there are other threads for that kind of talk.

I don't expect they will add new skill lines past The Brotherhood and Thieves Guild any time soon anyway. It's just a bit of fun, these boards are so, doom and gloom. You would think it's the end of the world some days.

@ArgonianAssassin, I like the idea of traps as a skill tine, it would be interesting to see.

necromancer, druid, ranger/tamer,necromancer, mounted combat thing, unarmed skill line like a monk, necromancer......

I would pay real cash for a lance on my horse where i could "Charge" down mobs like in Mount and Blade

I want a necromancer and a shaman. Both 'classes' are already in the game as NPC's and I love their spells. Shamans have that green flying bird spell and necromancers often have those corruption/death type spells that we don't really have at the moment.

^ I suggested a class pre-release called the Wanderer or Traveler that would start with 0 skill lines, but would start with a higher rank in weapon skills and could potentially unlock the skill lines from the other classes. So you could be a character with Siphoning from NB, Earthen Heart from DK and Stormcalling from Sorc.

^ high stimulated pity then, they should have listened to you. now we have what we have ill defined quasi TES made into MMO. For me TES stands for freedom

Even the way it is you have more freedom that any mmo I have ever played. So it's all good. It could get better...

I think they should have a class option that allows you to choose any 3 main class lines into 1 class. That could really add some diversity, but at the same time I could see some doom in that too. I'm sure somebody already said that above, but I don't want to read cuz I R lazy.

but it is not any other MMO, it is a TES MMO, or at least it has such aspirations. at least I'm not satisfied with the handling of skill lines. class system is an atrocious idea when it comes to TES.

Well before Skyrim TES has always had classes. I don't disagree with you though. Although TES has had classes they also had the option to over-ride that and choose your own. Which is how I think it should be. Some people need classes for what ever reason, I'm not one of them but I don't have a problem with it..

This is a little off topic really. We all have our opinions of the classes, I just wanted to hear peoples thoughts on possible idea's for classes. I should have said skill lines.

I feel that they have held a lot back, probably for expansion. I can't help feeling that I'm playing an incomplete version of this game. As much as I'm enjoying it, I think it will be a much better game in six months.
