Anyone Planned out their Warden yet?

Argonian Healer

Been saving up 5pcs of Winterborn (from my old MagBlade build), Chokethorn and still in the process of farming Worm and SPC

I believe it was ice defences? I may be wrong

As for my warden I think I will be rolling healer with some kind of green theme, I was also lucky enough to get the wildhunt senche so I think they will come together well

I've got my iceheart, ysgramor, and winter born sets ready, they will probably come out with more sets for ice stuff, but those are a good place to start.

Enslaved

I am planning to make 3 wardens. One will be Nord for sure.

stamina will be a bow build built with a wood elf, the green bird attack thing will be similar to a poison injection/silver shards type skill- so that will be my stam class- plus I've read that the warden will make bow builds viable. and in terms of lore- wood elves are silvernars - tree huggers quite similar to wardens.

for my magicka class it ll b a fire and ice dark elf. gotta see the skills to know what i ll do exactly but probably a frost destro and fire destro .

I've been told it will come with one free slot, plus we'll be able to buy 2 more. I'm not sure how true the free slot thing is though, but I've had a few people say such. Its very possibly an urban myth though...

Then you've been misinformed. The truth of the matter has been known for some time now.

Scroll down a little on the first link - Gina confirms. No free slots. Option to buy up to 2 more over the current cap.

I haven't planned beyond thinking she'll be a Nord, and saving crafting motifs and recipes/blueprints that I find for her.

I've chosen a "theme" for them.

Going to go with a Dunmer who studies Dwemer and have a Dwemer theme, pets, mounts, costumes etc.

I am thinking of going with a play on the ice magic, getting my hands on the sets already in game, however if I want to play a tanking role I might need to wait and see if Morrowind brings any heavy ice sets.

@Turelus Ice Furnace would play on the Warden's frost affinity and the Dunmer's fire affinity. It fits pretty well into what you are doing, although it's a pretty *** set. But if it's just a "for fun" character which you will roam around on a bit it should be fine.

@Zinaroth thanks I forgot about that set.

I only really focus on true min/max on my main, my alts I tend to go for optimised but fun builds using the less cared for armour sets as they mainly do zone based PvE.

Currently thinking I mess about with a hybrid tank Warden, using 2x Engine Guardian, 5x Ice Furnace and that leaves my weapons/jewellery open for some fun experimentation.

Coilspun

This might be a completely naive approach but...

I was thinking Nord, 2H Axe/Hammer, Winter's Embrace line (possibly using the Bear Ultimate if it has a DPS morph) Medium/Heavy armour depending on objective, as both will be worn whilst levelling.

For flavour, the Winterscout costume and a Frostmare mount, with the Windhelm wolfhound.

I've wanted a 2H, Frost Magic build since launch, the bear pet is an added bonus - depends how/if the morphs for Winter's Embrace can be flipped to Stam, but we'll see...

I really hope this is a possible build, I envisage it being a DPS/Off-tank with buffs for groups/duos.

Sort of. I've planned my Warden out to be a Magicka Warden High Elf DPS.

I have full gold Necropotence, BSW, TBS, Julainos, and a few other gold sets specifically for Magicka DPS, including Ilambris and Grothdarr.

I'm HYPE!

Ohhh I didn't think about Necropotence! I'm just tryna figure out weapons Feels dumb slotting an inferno staff for a Warden... Ice Staffs is a no go for dps... hmm

With all those pets there's a chance it could be really powerful on a Warden. We'll see when we have more details.

As for cold damage who knows man.... I'm hoping there might be a super powerful +Cold Damage passive! something like 10-15% damage (plz ZOS)

Yess! But Ice Staffs are so hard to light/heavy attack with compared Inferno Staffs. If only they changed the animation of light/heavy with ice Staff to work the same way as an inferno staff but with ice spikes.

I upgraded my Moondancer sharpened Ice staff to legendary yesterday. I really hope my Warden can make use of it

Also I agree about the heavy attacks. Imo they should give Ice staves a (slightly) new stance to differentiate it from Inferno/Shock staves.

Reviving the old two-handed staff animation and applying it only to Ice staves might be cool.

Animations aside and as the OP said,the main issue with frost staff is the taunt passive which makes it completely useless in mostly any PvE related content.I'd like to see anyone allowing a frost staff user in any trial and using a heavy attack on bosses .
So unless they remove the taunt there's no way for frost staff to be viable in PvE.

Or maybe just not take the passive?

It's either Altmer Ice Mage or Imperial Archer, but probably the first one as spamming birds and bees seem a little weird to me.

Just in case you're not aware, they're spirit animals, not 'real' ones. Go to 54s in this vid. I've used a timestamped link but the forum seems to be breaking it.

Yup, moving my summoner sorcerer gear over and going to be a summoner warden. 5x Necropotence, 3x Grace of Ancients, Lightning Frontbar (will change to ice without passive if warden gets ice damage passive), Fire Maelstrom Backbar (may change to restro if class skills can avoid using elemental blockade), and Illambris (may change this).

No ones really sure about it, but it doesnt look like the Warden is going to get actual summoned pets. All those creature attacks look more like jst normal attack skills with an animal animation skin to them. The only true summoned creature we know of is the Bear Ultimate. Necropotence may not work with the Warden.

The Bear is a true summon and should work with Necropotence. According to those at PAX the gear setup they have for the Warden is indeed using Necropotence so it surely has to work.

It's hard to plan when you have literally no info.

The netch is a true summon as well, it's basically a sorcery buff with magicka gain.
