Warden Skill

Looked through the tooltips of the Warden skills and passives – first impression is that the class has a lot of heals and the best buffs available, meaning it will be another strong class in heavy armour (PvP).

However, one skill in particular that concerns me is "Screaming Cliff Racer". Note that I haven't played the class, and these are mere thoughts before the class is released.

The tooltip shows 7061 Magic Damage, increased by 15% if target is at least 15 metres away, for a potential 8120 damage. On a test build, you probably don't have great gear, so it does more damage with a proper build. Instant skill, ranged class spammable and I'm assuming that it is not morphed yet. Doesn't it seem very strong, especially compared to Force Pulse?

    You can't really assume anything is strong without testing.

    You don't know the gear, your don't know the animation, it may be easy to dodge, may be reflectable etc...

    For all we know it could have the same tooltip scaling as swallow soul.

    Did you bother to look at any of their other skills? The numbers on all of them tend towards the freakishly big.

    I doubt they're going to make the new class that blatantly OP. It's just a test build. Don't be fooled by those numbers.

    The ultimate thats most people haven't had a chance to test yet?

    The screenshot leak shows 3.7k~ magic dmg... which is gonna be like 1k~ in pvp to players. The special costing 75 ult for 20k dmg seems to be in range leap or templar spear ult. But the bear has to be alive.

    If the bear acts like current pets it'll be ravaged by skills that attack a lot like flurry or jabs/sweeps.

    Kind of hard to say something is strong from a picture.

    How would that fair against a pet warded with a reactive heal which heals it for a serious chunk of health every time it is hit up to once a second for 10 seconds? Cos the pictures say wardens have that.

    the bear ulti also acts like an execute...100% more damage to targets below 25% health

    also...in terms of scaling it appears that some skills are based off health...check out the skill called Impaling Shards which does frost damage (normally considered magicka/elemental) but tooltip says "Damage is done based on your Max Health"

    i know ZOS said they were trying to make health a more "useful" resource, but this just smacks of hybrid-build

    I dont see the worry over it. So what if the tooltip says 7k, mitigation cuts that severely and since its a ranged ability, it can easily be dodged and will most likely miss a lot of the time.

    Looking at all the other images, 7016 sounds about right.
    But as I've said before, here and in zone chat, you can't judge the abilities yet. Not only can we not test them, it's still 3 months till release, things will change.

    That was what caught my eye - ties in nicely with recent frost staff changes.

    Absolutely - all this can give us is the direction they are going - now with more detail on the route - but the specifics on pacing we wont know until PTS is nearing completion.

    I'll likely still use a fire/lightning over a frost staff anyway, staff type just changes your light/heavy dmg type and of course the passives.

    Pretty sure on one of the latest ESO lives they said they got people in to test the warden to get some instant feedback, but will be releasing it on the PTS later on also.

    Couldn't help but thing that it'd make using Elemental Succession and Ilambris together a lot less of a headache. I wonder if anyone uses that set currently? Be odd to see someone romping around with Succession/Iceheart/Ygramor's Birthright/Winterborn 2/5/5 finally.

    I suspect that there's going to be some amazing stamina options for this class, too, given the passive per-slotted ability physical damage boost. A couple of those skills having stam morphs could be a really, really huge change.

    Well, it is less than 10k aoe in pvp that will be possible to activate only when bear will be alive, i.e. probably mostly never.

    Going by the description, the Guardian's Wrath will most definitely deal AoE, as the next sentence says targets.

    So does killer's blade, last I checked that was still only a single target ability.

    There is a good chance that this will change several times before it goes live.

    There is always so much speculation around here. Let's see what actually goes live before we scream OP or nerf.
