Mages and casting

[MetallValkyrien]

I was put off this game for a long time due to that Mages should have the ability to use left, right and both hands for spell casting instead of needing weapons. I know it wont play just like Skyrim or any other ES Game, but I miss the classic spells, I would like the buttons to switch my spells I cast with my hands and have some more powerful ones that ESO has put in. Ah well not sure how many else feel this way.

You don't need a weapon to cast spells in ESO.

Having a weapon improves your effectiveness but you don't have to use one. Class abilities can be used without weapons.

Only staff weapon spells need a staff.

I beside the number keys (ablities), theres no basic magic attacks with the mouse. I owuld hav e liked it better if you have powerful spells with some mouse casting.

Powerful, basic, unarmed spells that only requires left-click... There is a reason that would never work in an MMO.

There is a basic magic (light/heavy) attack with the mouse btw, except that requires a staff.

Just get rid of the staff and have it as a skill, then it would be great.
