New Warden Class!

Gedalya · January 2017

Hurray! Anyone else excited for this with the Morrowind Expansion?

Abeille · January 2017

Are you kidding me? I'm freaking out!

Seraphayel · January 2017

No kidding.

Bear as permanent (ultimate) pet.

Hand_Bacon · January 2017

If they don't give us more slots, I'm going to have to frame and execute one of my chars.

HegemonIQ · January 2017

Anyone else worried it will be a bit Morrowind centric and not work so well for non-Dunmer characters? In the live stream he talked about "the key creatures from Morrowind". Yes, I know there's a bear, but I'm worried the rest of the summoning line is going to be highly Dunmer flavored to fit in with the new expansion.

There's a cliff racer attack that summons a cliff racer from the sky, attacks the player, dealing high damage

GrumpyDuckling · January 2017

Any details on the skills/ultimates of the new class?

CubanRay · January 2017

Another pet sitter class ,awesome.

Tommy_The_Gun · January 2017

Well... I just hope ZOS is going to be reasonable and either the new class will not be OP or they will just buff the other 3 classes...
But who am I fooling ? OF COURSE it is going to be "the only right" class to pick (buy) when entering cyrodiil PvP.

Is anyone else concerned that we've seen a weapon wielding magic user in a game where hybrids aren't the best option?!? So how will they balance this to make it actually work, as we all know ZOS isn't known for being the experts on balancing?

Easy fix, my friend

Just give them a passive to gain magicka back with a heavy attack on any melee weapon.
Also a passive to buff weapon/ spell damage while using DW

Balance

If it were that easy, don't you think they'd have introduced it long ago, considering the numerous complaints about the lack of hybrid viability in ESO?

You just answered your own question.The lack of hybrid class is the main reason for the warden.

Then I refer you back to your original statement about ZOS not being experts at balance...

OtarTheMad · January 2017

Definitely excited about this. It will be a nice game changer for sure. I am not too worried about balance just yet as you can't truly judge a class based on a cinematic trailer.

Cillion3117 · January 2017

Warden Ranger build will hopefully be awesome.

Orsinium had orc flavor as it should, so what's wrong with Morrowind being Morrowind? That's what we old school ES III: Morrowind fans wanted to happen loooong time ago.

But Orsinium didn't include a whole new class which was pitched only at Orcs. Granted I might be getting ahead of myself here based on one line in the live stream, but I had this nice idea of a druid/wyress type character and can't help feeling that unless they are a Dunmer then summoning Cliff Racers is going to feel weird.

I have the same issue...

If they die, I am blaming @ZOS_JessicaFolsom, @ZOS_GinaBruno, and @ZOS_RichLambert.. Can they sleep at night knowing that they will have innocent blood on their hands from a Character death?

Nyx2 · February 2017

After finally adding a new class the following expansion will introduce the playable Mudcrab race.

I believe summoning Cliff Racers was a joke and it's confirmed that warden class ultimate has a bear, bears are nowhere to be found in Vvardenfell (At least in ES III game). To me warden class looks more like "Skyrimish" instead of "Morrowindish".

AdamBourke · February 2017

I was hoping they would do away with classes.

I want to be able to summon a clannfear AND a bear. Is that too much to ask?

They can also have added the cliff racer summon just as a nod to the swarms of cliff racers in TES: III, since they are not actually adding these swarms as mobs to the game.

RedTalon · February 2017

I'm so happy just prebrought it tonight!

UppGRAYxDD · February 2017

I'll see you all at the ysgramor grind spots....

Yeah, I hope they add other animals... especially wolves and senche cats.

This was posted on the ESO Reddit thread - (its not my information)

German Website Gamestar.de released additional information on the Warden's abilities that they gathered from an exclusive interview:
ICE Skill-Line:
- Kind of a damage shield
- Some way to protect the whole group/trial party
- A glyph that you can place on the ground, if an enemy steps on it, it ports him back to the warden.
- It is also mentioned that the Warden has a healing ability that grants a burst heal and then an additional Healing-over-time effect.
NATURE Skill-Line:
- A cone heal mechanic
- some way to leech hp (translation not clear, they used "Energy" here) from enemies of some sorts
- A gap closer to a friendly target.
- The ultimate lets grow a forest with - presumably - trees that grant healing in an area.
ANIMAL COMPANION SKill-Line:
- A cliffracer that does a swooping attack
- An Area-of-Effect Ability using a mole.
- An insect swarm.
- Calling in a netch bull for a buff.
- And the already known bear for the ultimate.
I've to apologize if some of the translations are off, but i wanted to share this with you ;-) Please remember that all of that isn't offically confirmed, so take it with a grain of salt...

@Hand_Bacon @k9mouse Their plan is to make two more character slots available for purchase when we get Morrowind.
