I got to 50 in the first 2 days. All i waned to do was pvp.

I had 5 spriggan and 5 viper from my other stam class so im using that with one kragh. Not sure if thats optimal but its what i have for now to figure out my skills.

I tried hard to not use the typical set up for stam dps in pvp but i ended up settling on bow/2h and the typical crit rush, uppercut, executioner. I tried to use dive instead of uppecut but man uppercut is just to good mainly because i had no stun. I do have to say lining up a sub assault crit rush uppercut is a huge hit.

Im still using my bear but im think about slotting dawn breaker. Lets face it pooh bear can be somewhat unreliable.

Im also using the necht and falcon swiftness for buffs and fungal spore for a heal until i get vigor and ill see what one is better.

Im enjoying it but coming from a msorc i have alot to get use to. I also havent looked at any builds yet and im just to figure it out for myself.

i am.

My Bosmer bow-warden is progressing nicely and my argonian mag warden is ready, tho a little jealous of the time i am spending with the Bosmer and my High Elf Vampire non-Warden which is running thru the Morrow questline as the wardens level up.

Loads of fun.

It was hilariously Hitchcockian in Bleackrock the other day as the pack of newly leveling wardens all kicking in Dive at once made the poor bandits reprise victim scenes from The Birds.

Imperial stamina warden here.

I most of all enjoy my stamina warden. Because of some very unique moves. Like the stamina morph of dive, the subterranean assault and the netch pet for stamina resource management.

Most of all the subterranean assault is a unique one. You can cast it and then spam a few moves. The only downside is that the scorches take the cone in front of you. The way you look after 3 seconds. But it makes a massive AoE attack.

Did I tell you the warden got a stamina heal? Finally a cheap and easy way to replace vigor for those who don't like PvP.

And you got your very own cuddlybear. Downside, sometimes it's kinda ***. But I don't care, because you get a damm oversized bear.

Anyway, try the warden, you don't get dissapointed.

Any update on the whole magicka bs stamia? Seems most people in this thread chose stam warden despite the lack of morphs.... i still cant decide and if i roll a dunmer or nord... lol

Lack of morphs? If you mean lack of stamina morphs... it has the same amount as the other classes so I'm not sure what the problem is here.

Magicka khajiit.

I am not bothering with stamina due to extremely dissapointing Morphs and the change to the ice passive. (also I havn't really liked any stam builds this far). Though I love that Warden got a stamina heal. I've been hoping to get more of those for a very long time. (and that morph is pretty good too).


Magicka is very fun though, both as healing and damage.

I haven't had too much time to develop her yet, but so far my warden is a magicka DPS/healer build. She is an Altmer, and sort of a ice mage, and green healing character. So far it feels like an alternate sorcerer, and healer.

I'm using an ice Destruction staff with Winter's Embrace, and a couple ice themed Destruction staff abilities on the primary bar, and a Restoration staff, with Green Healing abilities, and a couple Restoration staff abilities on the secondary bar.

I have been slotting an Animal Companion skill to level the skill line, but so far it is my least favorite skill line. I plan on using Falcon Swiftness, and Betty Netch primary, and probably exclusively from that skill line in my final build.

So far I have been having fun with it.

Oddly when I played the Warden on the PTS beta for several weeks, I felt it wast kind of meh.

One thing I didn't do with it there though was group dungeons. Once I started doing this on live with my magicka DPS one, it really started to grow on me. IMO, the warden versatility, with an emergency heal here and a group buff there really shines in 4-man play.

I've been playing nothing but Warden for the past few days, as a Magicka DD PvE spec. Trying to figure out what sets work best with the class, skills, etc.

On PTS, I was a bit disappointed with the numbers I was seeing on skelington parses. I was able to reach 30k ONLY with a friend using Ele Drain, Combat Prayer, Spell Power Cure and 1 Warhorn. Now though, after playing around with it in a bit more depth on Live, I'm able to parse 33k with Ele Drain and SPC alone. Still not 100% certain on which sets are best, how CPs should be allocated, or even what skills to have on what bar... but I think Magicka Warden DD has a lot of hidden potential that we're just not seeing yet.

Tonight I'm going to test Winter's Revenge, as this skill appears to be bugged in that it is not being affected by one of our crit modifiers. In all of my parses, Winter's Revenge is the hardest-hitting DOT out of them all, and yet somehow consistently has suspiciously low crit. If this is indeed a bug, it'll hit like even more of a truck than it already does.

I realize that, currently, Magicka Warden numbers aren't comparable to what some other classes are pulling, but after going from 30k with a handful of raid buffs to 33k with just one of those buffs, I am hopeful for what's to come after we've had more time to discover what is "BIS" for this class.

Level 18 Breton Warden atm, learning to time the different skills for burst dps - getting used to it.

Ya for sure, and I'm barely scratching the surface yet.
