Anyone else want to be able to play Warden Frost Stamina dps?

No.

I prefer a Frost stamina off tank Heal tank DPS instead

This thread has gotten me thinking. I have a bow/bow stamwarden who runs enchantments of poison on one bow and disease on the other. Given the warden's natural 10% boost to frost damage, I wonder if putting frost enchantment on one bow would be productive?

It would have to be the front bar (will only proc on back bar when you're on back bar, so you'd want it on front, where I assume you spend most of your time). Then you'd have to figure out a way to get your frost damage up (a 10% increase to a small number is still going to be a small number), but that involves taking points out of some of the blue CP trees that affect a lot of important things.

In the end I think it'd end up being a substantial DPS loss, unfortunately.

That isn't true.

You can proc back bar enchantments by using 1 of the aoe dot skills available in every weapon line. This is why infused back bar is so strong.

Bow: Endless Hail or Arrow Barrage
2H: Stampede morph of Crit Rush
DW: Quick Cloak or Deadly Cloak
Destruction Staff: Blockade or Unstable Wall

In his case, he would probably want it on back bar bow with VMA Bow to proc it every 2seconds off CD, making sure to keep the +10% crit dmg passive up most of the time. Still not worth it due to the reasons mentioned in my other comment, but 1 more thing. Status effect chances from enchantments are base 20% to proc, for Destruction Staves, they get +100% chance meaning it's 40% chance to proc chilled every 2s. In every sense a stamina build using a Frost enchantment is just not worth it.

Damn, you're right. I've been using the correct glyphs on the correct bars, but I had things completely backwards with regards to how weapon enchantments work. I'm glad you caught that lest I spread further misinformation...

@SidraWillowsky and @MashmalloMan thank you for your helpful replies about using a frost enchant on a stam bowwarden. That is unfortunately what I figured.
