Major mending aside > how much will minor int/end effect group make ups?

Putting the major mending changes aside for a moment. How much will the need to have a class that can give minor intellect or endurance be a thing? Wardens will be able to give their whole group both minor int and endurance. Sorcs can give minor int to the group. No other class can give either buff. It kind of feels like wardens will be required in at least every group just to provide the buff. Maybe sorcs, in magi only groups?

I understand that the major mending thing is upsetting to a lot of people. But with these changes sustain is going to be a real thing, and having only 1 and a half classes with access to group sustain buffs seems a bit broken? Yes Dk gets a self only major endurance, and Templar gets a self only minor int/end. But what about the poor shadowblades? (I would include sorcs in this too, but who's kidding, sorcs don't need help)

Also as a side note, everyone bitching about losing major mending on templar & to an extent on DK. You can still get major mending on resto staff by weaving in attacks. I know it's not perfect, but it is there...

Yea in the current state, warden will probably be a must have for every group.

I hope that everyone who is suggesting using a resto staff for major mending actually understands the passive... it gives major mending for 3 seconds, most of which will be spent channeling another heavy attack to keep it up if you want 100% uptime. It is impossible to actually skillfully and reactively control when the buff is up because a LOT of damage can be dealt in the time it takes to complete a heavy attack. Most importantly, it is completely irrelevant for stamina builds.
