Stam Warden Medium Build

TheWalkinDread

Gonna bite the bullet and create a Warden, never appealed to me before but thought id give it a go. What i want to know is a Medium Armour Bow build viable for PvE and PvP?

Casul

My stam warden had about 12 days on server time. With Vigor and the netch I have been able to solo every world boss I've encountered. I would recommend using this for solo pve

Poison injection
Lethal arrow
Vigor (or soothing spores if you don't wanma pvp)
Bull netch
Evil hunter
(Free ult slot maybe DBOS)

This has worked greatly with

3 night mother gaze
5 Hunding
3 agility
I'm running hp and stam food and serpent mundus.

The skill Green Lotus is pretty awesome because you'll get 10% crit increase and health back on every light and heavy attack (will also heal allies or your bear if they need the health more than you do). It synergizes well with the bow passive that increases your damage for stacking light attacks.

You can use the Shimmering Shield skill to absorb projectiles, which is solid for defensive purposes while you keep enemies at a distance (ideal for bow).

Subterranean Assault + Bombard + Endless Hail + Razor Caltrops is a nice AOE/cone combination of attacks for PVE. Bombard keeps enemies in place while the shalk lowers resistances, and then the ticks from Endless Hail and Razor Caltrops keep the damage flowing.

When using a bow, enemies in PVP tend to target you by getting up close, so the skill Nature's Embrace is great for escape (provided there is an ally within reach to "swing" to).

Cutting Dive is a great spammable to use after an initial Lethal Arrow + Poison Injection combination in PVP.

In PVP (Battlegrounds) I've been finding bone pirate, spriggins + 2 piece velidreth really good. Surprisingly tanky even in all medium (I do have sword and shield on my defensive bar).

Always the hardest part of any build! What race are you going with?

Yep, lost count how many times I've created a new character and waited 24 hours to delete because I realised I didnt like the name! Was gonna go Wood Elf but I've already got one as a Stamblade so went Redguard, thought the stam passives would be useful and created an argonian MagWard for when Ive finished levelling this one

Do not forget redguard passive for stam return is melee only. So no bow skills and warden skills will use it and your sustain then will be overall worse than on Wood Elf (with minor bonus of 4% max stam)
