New classes potential

Cooperharley · April 12

I saw something on a Skinnycheeks video that no one else is really discussing.

An added benefit of subclassing is that ZOS potentially would have an easier time adding more ways to play.

It's probably significantly easier to add 1 or 2 class skill lines than 3 for instance. They could create bard, dwemer artificer and monk class skill lines and not have to worry about making all 3. We could potentially get more classes more often as a result. Not necessarily full classes like arcanist and necro, but adding a bard line, a monk line, etc. would be much easier. Thoughts?

I'd rather see full Classes with 3 lines (for damage dealing, healing, and tanking respectively) because some of us will want to not dabble with Subclassing. If I wanted to be a Dwemer Artificer or the like, I want to be able to play it at character creation — something you can't do if the only way to experience it is through some other Class.

i hope we'll still get new classes with the usual 3 skill lines.

a Tonal Magic skill line would fit into a Dwemer class. bards are just musicians in ESO.

a Monk line? that would just be Unarmed, right? so that would fit into the Weapon category as an Unarmed skill line.

And just to preface, it's not me saying I'd rather have a class with 1 skill line or 2. I'd rather have 3 lines as well. BUT, I just hope that we're able to see more varied playstyles and skills added given this feature coming out.

If we were to get anything less than 3 skill lines, it might be better to have a new Guild or World skill line, like Psijic Order, so anyone can use those skills regardless of their Class and Subclasses.
