What do you guys think about the warden class

Dk_needs_a_buff

If you guys have seen the abilities for the warden class how do you think it will change pvp?

Having seen all the skills in my opinion alot of people will get annoyed. Constantly getting rooted and snared will only increase the need for heavy gear wich is still op in pvp. Some damage is based on max health so its obvious wardens are gonna be rinning around with huge health huge damage and heavy gear. It feels like zenimax wants another class siniler to templar. Or do you guys think heavy armour will get slightly nurfed when this class comes?

Thanks guys id like to see your opinions

Got the impression they're going to be OP no matter what

(mainly because people won't know how to counter them at first)

I think I will love the Warden for solo and duo PvE.

For PvP I have no idea yet. I will run a medium armor, bow and sword and board with pets Warden. It will be not the best setup for PvP but I think I will have fun. But in the end, the FOTM builds will come with heavy armor, constant rooting and healing to max health in one fart.

I tried building one and it seems very buffy. My whole back bar and part of front bar were buffs.
They do get access to almost every buff in the game so I think they'll be good solo. Great healing etc.
I also think they have some 1v1 burst potential if the bees work like I think they do.
The ice tree on the other hand just seems weird. Might be able to build a cool tank but with the cc dmg scaling off health its a rather expensive snare. Other than that I only see frost shield being used, maybe slot the ulti for max magicka bonus.

It does look like something fun to try out but with mage guild/fighter's guild/undaunted/alliance war/the *** horse grinds I'm not sure it's worth the bother for me personally.

The meta is heavy gear. As soon as zenimax *** it all classes will be balanced. New class will not change the meta

Just to follow up I used this tool to build.

Honestly I think Warden will be well balanced.

You will see a ton of Wardens at launch since they're new, but that hype will die out in about a month or so.

They don't have the burst healing and 5x effect purges that Templars have, the tankiness and Vamp-killing power of DKs, or the damage and burst (or utility via Negate) that comes from Sorcs/NBs. They have other benefits, yet (obviously) lack those of other classes.

Wardens are simply "unique" in their own way. We will see this class act more supportive than any other class, and become powerful when in groups they can support with many of their skills, including Expansive Ice Cloak amd Sleet Storm (the next "cancer" ult).

Templars will still be the most reliable healers. Some tanks and damage dealers will convert to Warden though for sure. It all has to do with what classes offer, and Warden fits in well with these all imo amd doesn't sound OP.

Remember Morning Kush told you this. Beware.. the health wardens are coming...

xeNNNNN

Seems cool up until the frost skill line ult.

Seriously...stacking damage reduction with templars remembrance is going to be disgusting.

Nobody will need heavy armor they'll just run warden.
