NEW: Warden Class (Let's discuss)

Chrysa1is · January 2017

What other abilities do you all think we will see from this new class?

The bear ultimate seems cool. I have visions of Cyrodiil being filled with bears though lol. Ice powers seem cool too. Ice magic is quite underrated and we don't see much. Well I don't.

Necropotence set for magicka,Nords need bonus to cold damage

Thestephenmcraeub17_ESO · January 2017

My initial worry about the Warden class is brought on by the changes to frost staves coming with Homestead. They seem to be getting worked into playing a more tanky style, so if the frost magic from the Warden class is supposed to more DPS oriented, then we may end up having to use other weapons (like dual swords, as every magicka class already does) to effectively DPS without taunting. But I obviously don't know the ins and outs of the Warden class yet, so this is just nervous speculation.

Since they are giving a skin for that ultimate with the preorder (gray bear), I think there is a good chance that they will offer other skins in the future.

Here's hope that the Sorcerer pets get the same treatment.

Super interesting, and just what the game needs!
This is actually the class I wanted since the start, why'd it have to come so late..?
Slinging around frost spells and having awesome animal companions is just my kind of thing.
Nobody really utilized frost magic, it was dead and buried beneath everything else, so this just opens up more variety to the game.

Dracane · January 2017

I'm completely against it. But it's too late anyway.

AetherSatori · January 2017

I'm going to call my bear Storvacker... does that count as discussion?

NewBlacksmurf · January 2017

Looks like ice tanking and hopefully some heals

I expect heal skill line
Druid like

Then some durability stuff with pets that makes tanking realistic but different

Chrysa1is · January 2017

Bear tank! Amazing! Reckon that will be possible?

aisriyth_ESO · January 2017

I am incredibly happy to see the Warden come back, i don't think i'll play it but glad to see ice magic around!

Izera · February 2017

Dovah Bear!

Flynch · February 2017

Well you can't spell Vvardenfell without Warden!

Vrienda · February 2017

The idea of a pet class didn't interest me at first, but since it's an ultimate... could be interesting.

And I love frost magic!

VerboseQuips · February 2017

Maybe the aerial attacks could vary depending on the zone. Cliffracers wouldn't make sense out of Vvardenfell and Stonefalls, but we could maybe get vultures, eagles, bats or other flying stuff?

Also, I hope we'll get some Maelstrom's frost staff for June.

Betheny · February 2017

Hoping mag Warden brings in a new weapon type, so we can finally have 12 set items using only magicka weaps.

Kas · February 2017

i'm curious w.r.t. possible changes to pet AI + control. As of right now, pet's can be really painful to control on PC and more or less unplayable on console. I guess something HAS to change to avoid the new class' signature move being ruined by that and incredibly frustrating to use

Magika Warden: Just a different set of skills to use before your destro ult

Stamina Warden: Just a different set of skills to use before the magika warden kills you with destro ult

GG

Betheny · February 2017

Ultimately this is good news for every other single class, both stamina and magicka - we now have something we can all point to that needs a nerf.

stimpy986b14_ESO · February 2017

It's not necromancer so I couldn't possibly care less

OtarTheMad · February 2017

That set that drops from Maelstrom might actually be useful if they make a good stamina morph of pets.

CubanRay · February 2017

I'm not interested in another pet class,it sounds depressing,and I agree with the post above,now all this ice staff tanking make sense,I don't have a good feeling but hopefully they prove me wrong.

Vulture051 · February 2017

People keep talking about the Warden having frost magic but it seems equally likely, if not more, that the Warden in the video if just "built" as a caster.

As for the bear, I hope we're not limited to a bear. I hope Wardens get "taming"

I am. My favourite part of the Sorcerer, stamina or magicka, is having my own personal tank.

GreenSoup2HoT · February 2017

I hope Stamina Warden is Unique and not just utilizing 2H hardcore like every other class (except NB). I hope they get some unique abilties.

I'd like to see a Stamina Caltrop's like Root that can be placed down. A spriggan that heals you possibly. Many speculations can be made. I just hope Stamina Warden is interesting.

The Warden skill lines were datamined months ago. One of them is called "Winter's Embrace", but there is also one called "Animal Companion" and a third one called "Green Balance". One of the skills used in the video seemed to be that ice shield that some npcs put in front of them, which is one of the many ice skills that are not currently available to players.

They definitely have frost magic.

frost is most definitely going to contain important tools for tanking. Even the trailer suggests it.

exeeter702 · February 2017

Honestly im just curious how warden healers are going to function compared to the other 4 healing options for end game.

Ravena · February 2017

Meh, I don't like bears. Way too noisy. And it's not even a nice noise. Gosh. I get nightmares thinking about those ear-ripping bear screamers from Skyrim.

Woulda liked something more cliché and better sounding. Like a giant wolf.

@exeeter702

It's assumed to be like a druid in WoW

acw37162 · February 2017

The bear looks awesome and I'm sure will be awesome but i hate toggles you have to double bar.

Pets are so hard to balance between PVP and PVE to strong and they are godlike and completely broken. Not enough or the A.I. Is to weak and they are worthless

I have very high hopes for this class but I'm also not holding my breath to much and I'm really hoping they work out something about double baring pets much less double barring an ultimate.

sirston · February 2017

rehashed Old material from the base game.
