To my Magden brothers and sisters; what do you plan on running for a stun in pvp next patch now vampire drain has been nerfed.
The options left in the wardens toolkit are expensive, clunky, unreliable and deal damage based on max health encouraging tanky play-style (like the game doesn't have enough tanks)
Even my Stamden doesn't have access to a decent stun and has to run reverb bash or draining shot, but at leased that's something.
I don't understand this issue zos have with the warden having stuns.
We as the warden community have begged for a stun for so long and the closest thing we got was Arctic Blast thats in dire need of a cost reduction and all around rework, as it stands its unusable. ( sorry for the vent )

✭✭I always use off-balance and heavy as my primary stun vs. slotting a specific skill for it, but I also use artic blast and simply get in the person's face.
Heh, I'm safe from any nerfs...!

Stamina - still Dizzying Swing 2x, but Invasion is also a good alternative if you run 1H+S, or even Reverberating, fear does something similar, so Turn Evil may find a space on my bar.Beta tester since February 2014, played ESO-TU October 2015 - August 2022, currently on an extended break

The warden had a decent class stun once. i don't think zos realise the amount of investment we make in our characters that when that make these senseless changes to shalks / destructive touch, vampire drain. they completely gimp our builds and relationship we have with our class.

✭✭✭✭✭Or pounding the ground, then calling down a Meteor and having the Shalk pop up and stun right before impact
Or having them pop up in the middle of a Soul Assault channel...

quickblade418✭✭✭Birds off balance + medium inferno staff attack , works good . For aoe, stun arctic blast one of the greatest aoe delayed stun in the game right now, nothing to complain about. It procs minor maim while doing dmg and it heals...Edited by quickblade418 on February 4, 2020 6:25PMNA PC

I think they just want to kill the Magden all together....
I haven’t got to the Magden to test yet on the PTS myself. Maybe some others that have can give insight how the class feels.1 -
