Warden Netch Companion should last longer

Sorcerer skill line pets stay active for a long time, why not the Wardens?

Is this meant to be a joke? I can never tell anymore.

The Netch is not a combat pet like Sorc pets. You can't even begin to compare them. It's apples and oranges. The Netch is a buff in the form of a pseudo-pet. The advantage is that you can single bar the ability, cast it, and bar swap without losing it. If you're going to try to compare the Netch to other abilities, compare it to Surge, not pets.

Not quite. You also get a passive additional 8% or your HP buffed by having the Daedric pet slotted. (Wardens get a general damage boost for each animal skill they have slotted, but imo the health is a better trade off for only slotting one skill). Really I think it would be much better if they reworked that whole line for Warden’s so that they were actually summoning permanent pets with toggleable abilities.

I'm fine with the duration because you should be recasting it before it expires anyway for the free purge and heal you get. You also get magic back, major sorcery buff, 2% damage boost for slotting, and it counts as a pet. Not too bad for a free skill that you can spam under oils as a vamp and still not die.

You want the netch to be like the bear? That is, it needs to be double-slotted to be always up? Because that's how the sorc pets work.

IDK, maybe because it's free, heals you when it dies, gives you regen, and at least one morph acts as a free purge?

Just spitballing here.

Please don’t force us to double bar the Netch or any other Animal Companion abilities, I’m begging you... Magden already suffers from limited bar space due to the one dimensional design of most of its offensive skills

And yet Magden is objectively the worst spec for pvp and pve and has been for a while... Why nerf something that’s already bad? People really should examine each skill in the context of its class before calling for nerfs... And for the love of Arkay stop calling for general warden nerfs as a way to balance Stamden while Magden is in such a laughably bad state!
