I have been leveling my magWarden lately. While the animations certainly are fresh and novel, there is one major setback that really irritates me (apart from aesthetics, which are a matter of taste): the animations take ages. Can you please speed them up?

    I think most wardens would like to have something else than cliff racers. As it is there is not much choice as all other dps skills are delayed. You can set up considerable burst, no doubt. But it takes ages. And if I summon my netch the character does a silly dance for 2 seconds...

    You can animation cancel that one. When going into fight I hit the netch -> block -> lotus -> block -> flappy wings. That way you pull it off in about 1.5 - 2 sec. Still takes a bit of planning to do it. If you're ganked, you'll not get a chance to buff up. Hence warden is not a great solo class unless you have 30k health.

    The animation of the Warden are ridiculous. Yesterday's pledge was Sewers. Because of a Warden's animations, spawning mushrooms and trees all over the place, I couldn't even see the red cones and circles.

    Is anyone finding that certain animations, including the Wardens Cliff racer is...getting stuck? so you try to attack a player and hit the button but nothing happens? Its not a distance issue either, happens a lot on ultimate's for me too.

    I happens with nearly all abilities in PvP when you get a bit of lag. Yesterday I came across an enemy, we just stood there at a distance from each other. I'm hitting the 2H gap closer like mad but nothing is happening. Few seconds later I figured he must have done the same thing as we flew past each other mid air and landed on one another's spot. It was so funny we tried that again and again, then used /drink -> /drunk emotes, bowed and parted our ways. And all that while my alliance was sieging his keep a few steps from us lol. It's nice that sometimes you can have fun with the mechanics.

    "Pretty" is not the word I would choose. But that's more a matter of taste than anything else. I just want a character who doesn't audition for a spot on Starlight Express every time I cast something.

    Not gonna happen, if you make Warden animation way fast, people will start crying it'll get overpower :) What makes him harder to use is specialy it's delayed abilities etc.. takes this faster and it'll be OP and little babies loving their easy to play mages will not like that. :) You just need to adjust, i love it, sometimes it's not jsut a matetr of going fast and quick. :P The only animation that pisses me off and make no sens, is when using the bear's ability, when sumoning it takes time an when using it takes time... i would like a fast almost not visible animation like teh sorc when using their pets aability.

    LOVE, LOVE LOVE the bugs bunny ani's ! Perfect!

    DPS Stam Warden - I enjoy mine very much! Varying up which skills and weaving in your light and heavy are key.

    For you Dive spammers, well , I suggest another toon!

    The Warden is NOT a fast attack Night Blade. Wasn't designed to be. I knew people were going to drop the Warden like hot cakes because it was going to go slow.

    The "coolness/pretty" has worn off ! LOL Some still "kinda okay" though, I'll confess.

    I agree, the visuals are waaay over the top.
    But I guess thats the point of the class... To be "oooh how cute" sort of thing.
    Otherwise I dont understand those weird design choices, like delayed skills (including main spammable lol) etc.
    I like some of the warden mechanics and I really wanted to play it... But the animations and delayed skills killed it for me.

    It's some kind of placebo. ZOS uses Wardens to carry out A/B testing under the hood.

    The animation of cliff racers is irrelevant to his fast someone can slam them. Just like all animations in the game the animation lasts longer than the min time required befor the next skill can be fired off.
