Hey guys so I’m looking I’ve build ideas that I can use for pve content. Any ideas? I would be using warden for obvious reasons.

    Ysgramor's Birthright + Winterborn/Ice Furnace + Ice Heart?

    Honestly, the cold/ice/frost sets in this game are subpar and don't synergize particularly well with...anything.

    Best of luck to you!

    if you are pvping within a team ice can be good for control and slow down people, but not really good in damage.
    After that, it is really fun to play :)

    Damge is not the greates but i think ice warden is ine of the funest classes to play.

    Just something cool about freezing everything.

    I like bloodspawn, shacklebreaker and another magicka set (transmutation, spinner, torugs etc). Gives good stats to do any type of content. Then I typically keep shalk on the bar to kill npcs efficiently and use reach, blockade, and the warden ice field skill as it makes sense. Simple but relatively effective.

    Ysgramor's Birthright, Winterborn, and Iceheart.

    If you cant farm Maelstrom for Winterborn then just use Julianos. The build will be fun and youll do just fine in overland PvE, but be prepared to do terrible dps.

    This summarizes it pretty well.

    I run an Ice Magicka Warden Off-Tank in PvP.

    It’s mostly crowd control, but it’s a lot of fun and I will win an occasional 1v1 because the opponent ran out of stamina.

    For PvE it’s much more forgiving in terms of the build you can run.

    But, yes, for a pure ice build you generally want to run Winterborn + Ysgramor’s + Iceheart. Make sure Ysgramor’s is your weapon set ... as Winterborn weapons are extremely difficult to farm in either normal or vet Maelstrom.

    Also - the Ice Heart arms pack will be coming to the Crown Store eventually. Based on what I have seen, this one is definitely the coolest looking. So, while your DPS might be embarrassing, you will look cool AF :D

    Edit: Cool AF. Lol, I didn't even see what I did there. Moar coffee required.

    Good old Julianos. It's the magicka "white bread" of ESO. General purpose and good enough.
