You listed close to the same skills for both bars, which makes little sense. Perhaps you mistyped?

What are you envisioning doing with this build? Solo? Group play in dungeons? Something else?

What do you suggest then for pve?

You have two bars for a reason, set up one with aoe/dots and the other with single target abilities.

Something like:

Front bar
Cliff racer / force pulse
Deep fissure
Destructive clench
Inner light
Flex spot
Elemental rage / eternal guardian

Back bar
Elemental blockade
Winters revenge
Fetcher infection or growing swarm
Ice fortress
Blue betty
Northern storm / eternal guardian

You'd probably put northern storm on the front bar to maximize damage. Elemental Fury does more damage and can do more damage when swapped to the front after activation.

Good gear to use is Julianos/Winterborn. If you must continue doing ice damage then iceheart isn't bad. Keeps you tanky. Just make sure not to take the passive that taunts enemies. Or do. Maybe you want to off tank

What about Weapons?

datgladiatah

Well realistically ice staff isn't the best dps tool. Heavy attacks taunt so you have no way to get resources back unless you don't take that passive on the destro staff. So Julianos fire/lightning staff is what most people go. If you want two ice staves instead, just make sure not to take the taunting passive.

Lynx7386

Go with a fire or lightning staff.

Piercing cold passive for wardens boosts all frost and magic damage by 6%, but that stacks with the 8% single target or aoe damage bonus you get from fire and lightning staves respectively; meaning with a fire staff you're getting +14% damage on screaming cliff racer and with a lightning staff you're getting +14% damage on deep fissure or winters revenge.

Winterborn, necropotence and Iceheart next patch when a staff will count as a two piece. Try a charged frost staff too, the chilled status proc does a little bit of cold damage that can help proc winterborn and enemies will be perma-rooted.

I appreciate you trying to help, but I don’t see any immersion with fire or lightning on top of frost magic.
Otherwise it wouldn’t be called “The White Warden”.

The question I was asking is What Weapon Set to use.

@esp1992

I tried Ysgrammor and Willpower on a MagWarden DD, with Iceheart. Master frost staffs (both bars, when they still gave 1k magic). I used all the frost skills I could, and the DPS was fun, but lackluster.

It was fun having all the snow globe action, but I was gimping the group in vet content. I'll give it another go when I can have Necro, Ysgrammor and Iceheart due to staff changes, but frost staffs are extra work in the sense they are made for tanking, not damage. Your sustain is aggro, so you need a different staff or compensate with witchmothers or other regen - which takes more damage away.

Joshuagm1991

I use Atronach mundus so you don't have to heavy attack. Keep tri-force and don't heavy attack. If you somehow need to heavy attack even with all the regen from witchmothers brew, Betty, and atronah mundus use a different staff.


Also have a hunch this is a troll thread. -_-
