Wardens Leeching Vines

Tapap · November 2017

My warden is a magicka based tank and leeching vines adds a ton of self healing. The only problem is I have to spin around backwards for the skill to cast on me because it will cast on an ally. Is there a way to make this always cast on me?

I think spinning around or waiting for you to always be the lowest health ally is the only way to make it only cast on you. I find it useful as a healer, because the tank usually gets it instead of me, but I imagine its more frustrating for a tank using it.

i use it as a healer as well.much more efficient. especially if my tank is a warden then they can slot something else.

On a tank I believe Lotus Flower is more appropriate than vines. Heavy Attack is the intended means for tank to regain their lost Stamina (or magicka with Frost staves). I do agree Vines are a great ability just not for Tanking - I do not believe they were meant for Tanks.

I also would like to add that the Mushroom-Heal (Soothing Spores or its magic morph) is likely intended for the burst self heal as well.

Very nice. I'm like the direction of blossom or mushroom heals. What do you think of budding seeds? Potential to heal allies for 15k or self for 8k. Non crits, just assuming they're using synergy

As a warden healer, I love budding seeds. Its great for dungeons when the tank and DPS are doing melee damage on the boss and I can just drop budding seeds on them all and maintain their health that way. For a tank, I think its not giving you enough benefits compared to the buffs from, say, Enchanted Growth. It can be a good delayed heal that you can pop in an emergency, but I also suspect that if you and your allies need that much healing coming from the tank in a dungeon, your healer needs to be doing their job better or your DPS need to not stand in stupid.
