I can see I will now be having two characters I play alot. My Templar and my Warden.

Honestly, Warden is just Templar 2.0 from what I see in the skill descriptions.

That's the reason why Warden was scrapped for launch.

Not exactly. During development, zenimax wanted each class to be focused on a specific type of gameplay (yes, even though they claimed everyone could do everything, they still geared towards focused roles).

There were five concept classes in development:
-dragon knight: tank role
-nightblade: Stamina dps
-sorcerer: magicka dps
-templar: healing/support
-warden: healing/support

They had to pick between the two latter classes, and there was more support In favor of the templar, so resources went to finish that class instead.

I can see it now, full zergs of wardens running around in Cyro with each person carrying four pets around with them mowing down players with their bees, netches, bears and cliff racers... potentially sad times await in Cyrodiil. Also it says the Bull netch restores stamina over time so gg on that one ZoS

It's probably Staminasteal, where you get a steady amount of stam back around other players and mobs. Some classes have Magickasteal and Lifesteal, so it seems fair.

The hype train is nearing critical mass??????

TL:DR:

Warden is basically a magplar with more tanky skill lines and pets? Sounds like a pro Xv1 class.

I was hoping for more offensive ice mage skills in winter's embrace like the ice arrows from round 5 vma and the ice wall that roots you from the worm cult cryomancers.

It looks like those skills are unique to npc's, which is disappointing.

From the description, maybe the first skill in winter's embrace is a dps move?

Destructive Touch with a Frost Staff equipped already immobilizes the enemy. I think it's the same skill as the worm cult cyromancers you referenced.

I would advise waiting to see what the skills are on PTS and they might be more offensive than we think, and there's also a good chance that all or some of them will have offensive oriented morphs to allow for more playstyles.

Well, it has a shield. Maybe there will be a possibility to make a light armor magicka sorc equivalent with it ? Certainly the bear looks cooler than the djihadist pet and the sex demon we have in our summoning tree.

Oh, please. Unless it's written in Archaic English, it's not a trustworthy source.

That should be "Thy mother", and "Thou weareth"

Yeah but no…

As long as the pet it a (240 ult for example) cast it and let it go, being able to cast other ults while the bear is up kinda thing. Ill be a happy camper. If this is the case it will be really beneficial to pure ranged type stamina builds. Not really having an ult viable for range. Cept balista...which is wierd to me having a magical balista being casted by my bowplar...just...strange decicion

There was actually a 6th class that got scrapped or merged as well. We never got much information other than it was supposed to be some sort of ranger type. This can be found in the same video( I think it's a TGN video) from 2013 that made it's rounds relatively recently which mentions the warden class, which they ironically had more information on at the time than Nightblade.

Seems like they have created an Off tank support.

I am really looking forward to the Warden, icestaff/dw or sword and board has endless possibilities.

A roaming bear on top of it? This has really great potential.

Coolio_Wolfus

They say the warden can't ride the to be skinnable ultimate combat pet
which is by default a bear (pre collectors grey skin option) but like mounts there could be other skins in future like senche, wolf, haj mota, etc.

Anyway they could make it rideable by having it that if your 'unlocked' mount was the same as the combat pet, the combat pet would show with saddle and mount upgrades alongside the player and if active at mount summoning time come over to the player into the mount's position and have the character climb aboard their mount (hiding the pet if the 2 are the same) and revealing the pet on dismount...

If the combat pet+mount combination was a wolf/direwolf it would make being a pack leader werewolf warden even more interesting...

Hope this all makes sense.

@ADarklore


You and all the pessimistic people of the forums were wrong then lol

That article was indeed accurate so next time try not to shut things down without any proper information to support you

Who remembers this thread and all the people shutting it down saying its not credible or legit?


Awkward, you were all wrong.
