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.

    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.
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    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.

    I'm completely against it. But it's too late anyway.
    Auri-El is my lord,
    Trinimac is my shield,
    Magnus is my mind.

    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

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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
