Anyone else enjoying the Warden?

SwampRaider

Here's what AOE looks like at the moment. It paints quite a picture tbh. so many different things are going on at once:

-I command hordes of flies to eat my enemies flesh
-At the same time, Ice shoots out of the ground slowing them down and freezing them to death
-I shoot lightening out of my staff as my enemies are getting ripped to shreds by an ice storm flying around the air
-All the while Mushrooms are popping out of the ground to keep me alive.


Am I high? or is this just the typical life of Warden AOE? Truly a master of the elements

That sounds like my PvE build too. Not the best dps but gets the job done. Still working on undaunted.

He really shines in PvP.

Plus all the pretty colors

Spring: Animals, Flowers and Shrooms
Summer: Fire and Lava
Fall: Lightning and Storms
Winter: Ice, Hail and Snow

I keep wanting to make a warden named, "the birds and the bees."

Your thread title says: "Anyone else enjoying the Warden?"

Let me answer that.

Yes, yes I am. Although it's not the most powerful class, it offers a lot of utility and unique playstyle. I'm currently leveling an Argonian Tank/Healer and so far everything is good.

The real tests will come when I enter Vet dungeons with this build, as I want to fill the tank role while still healing my team, or at the very least off-healing.

This can be done, I've had numerous tanks heal us through entire dungeons before, so I thought I'd have a go at it, and the Warden seemed to be a good fit.

You playing as DPS in a dungeon and the healer isn't worthy of the name? No problem

Phatmattfu

Heck yes, having a literal blast!

I've made some tweaks to my magicka Warden and I'm feeling my DPS is actually pretty decent!

Really enjoying the Ilambris monster set with it, highly recommend.

I like magika warden in PvE. Bugs+winters revenge+lightning blockade and heavy lightnig combo is great AoE and for bosses you can add flies and racers spam.

I like stam warden in PvP when you hit enemy on the siedge with bow when 2-3 clifracers are allready in the air. And in close combat you switch to frost staff and can block while dodging and racer attack keeping your stam regen all the time. Buggs put AoE resists debuff. And you also have wings that improoves your mobility greatly.

I love my warden. In pvp i can do great burst damage my helaing is great and i can soak up damage.

Im running x2 selene x5viper x5/4 darkstrider

I know i know proctard alert but hey you can tbeat them ... join them haha. I went with darkstrider because it was super easy to get in the perfect traits and i wasnt always running sword and board on my back bar so the 5th trait on my 2nd set didnt matter much. Recently made that switch and fell in love with the mobility darkstriders provides with bird of prey. (and my sharpened greatsword is already gold)

Basically pop subassult bird of prey then crit rush in viper proc (hopefully) selene proc sub assult hits dawn breaker execute.

Yep! The nature stuff is

I don't feel super powerful, but it's incredible amount of fun!

I love my Warden. Each day I feel like I learn a bit more about the class and how to "organize" skills, gear, etc. to make it work even better than I thought it could.

Here's mine in her vMA setup:



I'm still experimenting with the above loadout and plan to tweak a few things the next time I go in. But yeah, she is my main now and I'm hopeful that she'll get some love from ZOS soonTM.

Magic mushrooms are a hell of a drug.

SydneyGrey

I am. I think they might shine the most as healers rather than damage dealers, though.
Love flinging birds in people's faces.

Love love LOVE my magden healer. Shes absolutely replaced the templar.

Two questions:

1. What addon are you using that displays your gear in that way? I really like it.
2. What costume are you wearing? I'm ( relatively) new to ESO, don't think I've seen that before.

Thanks!

Oh, and to answer the original question, I am having a lot of fun on my mag warden. Still feel like I have a lot to learn about the class and lots I can tweak both in terms of gear and skills, but definitely enjoying the class a lot and consider my warden my main at this point.

It's superstar, there's another one called "my build" that does similar things.


Also to answer the original question it feels like fun. There's room for a lot of creativity.

I run a PvP Warden Healer. Love it.

Integral1900

Fun but okay... tbh most of the damage is weapon skill lines and the fact that my big *** cat is rocking a mountain of crit, works okay in normal dungeons, the old vet damage sponges can get tedious but then they normally are

It's only real pve strength seems to be outlasting the enemy... won't be deleting it but I ain't putting this at the top of the killing power tree

bebynnag

no i hate all 3 of mine - so they are just mules

Integral1900

Lmao!!!!!

p u s s y cat is a banned word


How, how can this one be anything but a khajiit?

Anyone else enjoying the Warden?

Yes, in fact I am.

I'm now getting "OP" "P2W" messages, oh and "meta streamer build"

I didn't know of any streamers running heavy warden like me...

It must be good

I hate not having a particular theme. Sorcs have storm/lightning, Nightblades have shadow and life stealing, DKs have Fire, Wardens have forests, animals, and ice. It just feels weird.
People wanted a Cryomancer class. We got a bird throwing, beetle spewing, mushroom planting weirdo where Ice is only used for defence.
Having said all of that, Warden is a pretty fun class. It's just not what I was hoping for. Lack of execute is considering me to just reroll my mag sorc again. With meh damage and no execute combat is like pulling teeth.

Sorcs have a single lightning skill line. The other two are daedric / dark which share purple visuals.

IMO wardens are on par with them in this respect. They have an elemental line and two visually similar (glowy and ethereal) but functionally different skill lines.

Each to their own but that's one reason I prefer sorcs. They're slightly more like the classless single player games.

I'm really liking my MagWard in PvP. There's def a learning curve but he's shaping up. I think they are due for some tweaks though and would like to see the delayed hits sped up by about a third to half time.

Gan Xing

I'm enjoying my Warden. She is complicated, but she works in pvp. I may not get the most kills, but I can survive most fights. (it's harder in nonCP)

What gear do u run?

seedubsrun

I really like my magwarden. The DPS is really sad but it's just a pretty cool class. I play my sorc when I need to get stuff done and Warden when I want to relax and just quest a little. I'm bringing her into PvP for the first time tonight and looking foward to that. Can't wait til a little buff action happens

Transmutation, Shacklebreaker, Sentinel of Rkugamz.

Playing around with Julianos instead of Shacklebreaker, I Like em both, TBH. For different reasons.
