Viability of Hybrid Warden

Gan Xing

With the ever increasing presence of "hybrid" armor sets, how would one go about doing hybrid warden 2H and stave?

I'm making a controller/tank 1h/shield and Resto. I'll let you know.

I just switched my build up a little. Running 1h/shield and resto currently. It's a lot of fun. Despite what people say about the Knight-Errant set, it works for me with the Shacklebreaker set.

All I gotta say is check out this guy's videos

Rocking Shacklebreaker and Transmutation as a healer, it's fun as hell and very sustainable.

For solo play anything is viable

The group game has no room for hybrid or support beyond normal dungeons. Dps requirements are too high

For DPS yes.

However, hybrids are very viable as tanks since they make use of having high magicka and stamina sustainability.

OP, I'd suggest dropping either the 2h or staff and pick up a 1h/shield, to have on at least one bar, and look into tanking.

I wish Tanking was my cup of tea. I tried turning my Warden into a tank just to see what tanking is like.

Very effective yes, but kinda boring. I was unkillable and a cc God. Yet, that's really all I did. CC'd and meat sponged. I don't know how it is as a DK tank but Warden tank dps is abysmal.

Check this tank build out.

Hybrid DPS = lol
Hybrid heal = lol
Hybrid tank - tank builds usually are somewhat hybrid

I do not see any really usefull sets to make effective hybrids
May be Shacklebreaker can be somewhat usefull to make sustainable permablock tank with both regens buffed and heaving 1h&shield on one bar and frost staff on another

I've seen his stuff. I was even standing behind him during live stream when he first showed off a version of this build.

yea, unfortunately, shacklebreaker is the best current set for this kind of playstyle. I hope they add more options in the future

I also want to point out with my build

i'm a dunmer (for both max mag and max stam boost)
when buffed, i have 3k weapon damage, 2.3k magicka damage
and 1.5k stam recovery with 800 magicka recovery.

in an ideal world, i would have more magicka, and stam/magicka recovery...
