The new Warden class looks a little boring

kjmugsy

Is it just me, or did it look boring in the Warden Introduction video?

Khaos_Bane

It looks very boring to me, but have to see how it plays. I think the DK and NB are boring as well. I guess it just depends on the player.

Anti_Virus

The Warden concerns me especially the stam version of it. All the stam morphs are just that same as the base morph but costing stam and dealing physical damage.

Kodrac

The animal tree is totally unappealing to me so I won't be playing one as a dps I guess. Tank/healer orc it is.

Lynx7386

Suit yourself, I'm hyped for it. Totally looking forward to a stam tank warden

Khaos_Bane

I have to say the graphics/effects guys look like they did a bang up job, but yeah, the creativity with the morphs was VERY underwhelming.

I only have experience playing MMOs, but I think I could EASILY come up with more creative skills.

Turelus

Personally I feel it looks that way, but that might just be my play style.

There are going to be many different people that feel differently about it, I'll make one either way and have a laugh with it. GO FOR THE EYES BOO GO FOR THE EYES!!!

Was genuinely planning on a Warden from day 1 but seriously reconsidering now it looks very plain.

A master of nothing but a man/woman of many traits

IcyDeadPeople

I'm gonna try starting with two wardens, M'warden (magicka) cliff racer ganker and Health'warden (80k health imperial).

Stamina Warden is starting to look like a class that uses mainly weapon skill with 1 or 2 Warden skills on your bar, plus the passives. Magic Warden looks like the same thing with an extra Warden skill or 2 on your bar. Not sure at this point if I'm going to bother playing both a stamina and magic version like I have with every other class.

I don't think it looks boring. Depends on what is meant by "boring".

Depending on the final design, Warden could be a "jack-of-all-trades, master of none" class. That will immediately make it off limits for a certain segment of the players.

To me, Warden looks to be much more diverse, in terms of play styles and roles, than any of the other classes.

Kilandros

If by boring you mean broken OP in pvp then yes I agree with you

Turelus

From what I've seen so far (granted only one tree) I see many Warden players being pushed into the role of raid buff monkey.
That way the real damage classes can slot more damage.

So, just like every stam class then?

The introduction video made warden class look fun. It's when you research the class that makes them seem boring. Actually playing the class might be fun tho. Gotta wait and see.

Asardes

I've kept some character slots open and I'll make both a stamina and a magicka warden. The races will be bosmer for stamina and dunmer for magicka since I don't have a bosmer chat yet, the dunmer has bonus elemental damage and lore-wise they match the role pretty well.

Integral1900

Other than the bear there just isn't anything there, it's all a bit bland, also that aoe with the two thunderbugs is about the worst looking effect I've seen in a long while

At the moment the only thing I like is the bear, beyond that it's going to be two handed and fighters guild skills just because I always wanted to do a khajit warrior monk swordsman, maybe yokudan weapons and silken ring upper body.

ValkynSketha

Destro ulti is underpowered and trash they said, 2h ulti is OP they said, and now this.

The Warden is the Jack of all Trades class, unfortunately that outright sucks, at least other classes can call themselves a master at something, this one however cannot, it wont stealth as good as an NB, it wont heal as good as a Templer, it wont tank as good as a DK and it wont deal the DPS of a Sorcerer so what can it do?

Warden is a 'paid-for' class. It will almost certainly be OP in order to drive sales.

Because everyone wants to roll a new character and not just revisit Morrowind.

You really can't say anything without playing it.

Apparently it buffs and debuffs better than anyone else.

I don't think they need to do that, and so I don't think they will. Warden may end up being OP, but that will probably be a matter of player opinion vs what ZOS thinks is important for balance.

I think that the trial and battleground features will do more to drive Morrowind dominance than the Warden class will.

...'tin foil hat' at the suggestion that ZOS would buff something to sell more of it? really?

I really hate the shalk animation...

Strider_Roshin

I love the active healing that the Warden can do. Too bad it'll only be comparable to the brain dead healing that the Templar can do
