What good is the Warden Bear ?

causes lag with all the bears summoned at once?

Bear should have been normal skill, not an ultimate. As it stands it's just a toy.

I agree with this. He should have been summoned just as a natural part of the warden without even having to slot him. Maybe one slot (that's not an ultimate) but he probably should have just been an automatic part of the warden (like a hunter's pet is in other games).

The bear is just fine for me when levelling and questing, and not having much other options in terms of damage ulti yet.

It would be a bit OP if it didn't use a skill slot.

The main benefit seems to be.the bonus damage per pet skill slotted much like similar passives.for sorc skills and.fightets guild skills

For instance in pve on a.stam toon you might with for active skills but it's.often better yo stack Hunter, Flawless, Trap, silver bolts and then your spammable on your single target bar just to get the big damage bonus per slotted skill, same with your Warden pet bar with Dive et al.

Advanced Species – Increases your damage of Animal Companions abilities by 2% for each Animal Companion ability slotted.

A 10% damage bonus with a bar loaded with critter skills. Odd thing is you'd want one on the back bar too for the +12% Stam/Magicka Regen, too, so a Stam build may want Flawless instead, and a mag build the cold ult with the max Magicka while slotted boost. That health regain when prets are unsummoned or killed is nice though and a bear ult user will never ever lack ult to resummon due to the ult Regen passive every 8 seconds

Umm, bear costs 0 ultimate to summon. It uses ultimate for the special attack that hits like a truck. If I'm going around all sneaky like, I'll unsummon him. The Ultimate generation is nice. I can sit in the back letting my bear tank and throwing cliff divers to generate ultimate along with my light bow attacks.
