I love in MMOs when certain classes or races can do something the others can't. It brings the whole game to life.

I think it will widen the divide between unbalanced classes just like hybridisation did. Regarding Streak, vampire mist form is a better version of bolt lightning and the arcanist has their portal.

The #1 thing I want from scribing is a Summon Daedra ability, probably from the Mages Guild line, with fire atronachs and seekers as options among others. I think this will give players the ability to enhance the flavor of any and all classes, as well as giving them each a little taste of pet gameplay.

Classes are important to define your character identity. Actually i want more choices to make my character more unique.

Agreed!

I like the idea of scribing changing how the wapon skill line abilities look. I feel like a lot of classes are losing their identity or unique look as alot of builds use the same weapon abilities (unstable wall for instance) I hate using it on my nb because it makes me feel like a sorc. If scribing lets me make the lightning red for instance? Hell yeah, Im down with that.

All I really wished was for skill style to extend to class skills. I'm all for changing the colors of some skill to bring a new take into the visual identity of the class

I am most curious to see how Scribing interacts with the Armory loadout system per character or per account. This may determine how many characters of mine go through it. ZoS handling of companion access merged with quests has me nervous.

I’m sure if you save a skill with one armory slot that you’ve created that you can recreate it and save it to a different version just like you can do with builds now. I also assume, just like other skill lines, that you’ll have to re-level the scribing skill line with alternate characters, but I’m definitely curious to see how grindy/monotonous it is to level.

I like that some classes have a unique ability that others don't. NB invisibility, Sorcs with Pets. Honestly there should be more things that make each class better at something than another

Not really that classes are broken but certianly feels like certian classes have more wiggle room so im hoping scribing will help with like the necro since you can add a corpse drop mechanic or consume to buff it or help mag builds feel better cause even though hybridization is a thing it feels like stam has more support

This will absolutely break classes. Without a doubt

Really good discussion. Love your channel.

Thank you!! :)

Any class can cheese out on the vVH boss mechs since Vampire got Mist Form reworked.

That’s what a bunch of people said in the comments. Sounds like OP just wants every class’s utility on their main which defeats the whole purpose of classes 🤷🏻‍♂️

I want more identity and choices not less. Giving everyone access to all may look like more choice in the surface but will inevitably end up with everyone using the ame 5 meta skills.

I'm a bit concerned about the spell styling. In one hand it sounds fuckin AMAZING, I'm an edgelord and I need my red skulls and bats, anne rice cosplays and emo Elmos BUT... At the same time I'm not a smart guy and I know for a fact I'll lose my mind on the new dungeons and trials or boss fights trying to identify fight mechanics at a glance. My stamina willl suffer severely. I'm sure it will be funny to watch, so I guess that's another plus lol

Bow tank with aoe taunt would be fun on warden

In PvE it's much easier to balance. Now imaging scribing in PvP that already is dominated by 4-5 sets and META 1 builds for each class (ironically, hybridisation decreased the versatility of builds).

How exactly are the classes "broken"? They all have pros and cons and you can supplement them with weapon skills, guild skills and set procs. The classes are supposed to be different, that's the whole point. It also makes group composition more interesting. Rather like life - some run marathons, some sprint, most jog.

Not broken, but unbalanced in a way that seriously diminishes the game on the whole. What adds to the replayability of rpgs is being able to restart the game on a different class and enjoy the playstyle. But if you start on Arcanist, every other class is going to require far more work for far less reward. Newer players are far more likely to quit at this point and go play something else.

I do not agree with "all classes have their own thing" statement because all classes play similar in pve. Most skills will be same non-class skills or reskin class skills. Class identity is very weak. I think spell crafting will make the classes even more similar to each other.

We don't get Spellcrafting, we get Scryping. And this is why I'm of the opinion that ESO would have been better had they not had a class system.

It's hard to talk about class skills in relation to balance. Every class has strengths and weaknesses in different areas, and people always want to latch on to whatever weakness the class they chose has and say it's not fair because other classes may be stronger in that particular type of skill. They conveniently ignore the aptitudes that their class has and the one they're complaining about does not. The truth is that if all classes had the exact same strengths and weaknesses, what good would the class system be? They can't all be clones of each other and still be considered different classes. People think the class system is broken because their character can't do what a nightblade or a dragonknight can do. It's not broken. They are all different for a reason. You said maybe they shouldn't have gone with a class system. But they did, and it is what it is. They can't all be the same, and part of the fun is figuring out how your character with its chosen class can beat the challenges of the situations presented by the content. Otherwise they may as well have made us all oompa loompas dancing together to get through the content in a synchronized manner. Does that sound fun to you?
