However still, my biggest issue with magden (and stamden as well) is its limited (almost non-existent) ability to apply Minor Toughness to your group. All other classes can reliably apply their class specific Minor buffs to whole group regardless of their role and without having to significantly change their builds. Warden dps simply cannot do that and Minor Toughness is exclusively a tank/healer specific buff. Yeah, you can argue that any warden can just slot Altar, but seriously, do you have to slot some useless skill and gimp your build in order to apply Minor Prophecy, Sorcery, Brutality or Savagery?

So true, and it’s even worse than you state. Minor Toughness isn’t the only crucial group buff Wardens bring to a group, Major Resolve is arguably more important and requires slotting and casting another skill with zero damage. Frost Cloak + Altar result in the need for a Warden tank or healer in every trial group, and a Warden DPS cannot reasonably provide these buffs.
