DK vs Warden: My comparison results for newcomers (and vets). Enjoy!

So, I wanted to offer everyone a rough comparison of what I consider a "well-balanced" character. One that can compete in PVP (group content) and PVE (solo/vet dungeons). These builds will give a rough example of how you can play about 99% of this game (with the exception of 1vX PVP and vTrials). This is simply to show newer players (and maybe some vet players) the versatility of the new warden. Both are Dunmer (Because we're the Master Race, plebeians!) and both are wearing similar builds that compliment their class/race. I'm showing you the stats and their comparable ultimate as it applies to their class. These screen shots are with buffs and take into consideration that they'd gain another 5,000 health in Cyrodiil. ;)

This is Savos Saren. A dunmer mDK wearing 5 Kagrenac, 5 Silks of the Sun, and 2 Valkyn Skoria. All prismatic, all legendary. It's a 5h/1m/1l build and it's buffed with Molten Armaments.

This is Gaius Baltar. A dunmer mWarden wearing 5 Kagrenac, 5 Ysgramor, and 2 Ice Heart. All prismatic, all legendary. It's a 5h/1m/1l build and it's buffed with Bird of Prey and Blue Netty.

As you can see- they're pretty comparable and both offer unique assets to a group. Yes, the mDK will have more CCs and group damage buffs- but the mWarden will offer slightly more health and protection to the group. Both builds are extremely fun to play. Both builds consist of SnB on the front bar and a destro staff (fire for DK/ice for Warden) on the back bar. I could tweek the builds to be slightly more similar in stats- but this is just a rough estimate of what you can achieve with a "balanced" character in my honest opinion. Remember: I'm CP843- so my constellations have quite a few points in them.

Feel free to ask any questions and there's a lot of helpful vets on these forums to steer you in a more sophisticated build tailored to what you'd like! I hope everyone's enjoying Morrowind!

    Additionally, here's a comparison of both class's AOE elemental/slowing abilities and their respective Force Pulse:

    As you can see- the DK is clearly the winner on the AOE/slowing ability. However...

    Hands down, the Warden comes out on top with Force Pulse.

    Again- this just shows how each class has it's unique qualities!

    Off topic: What's the armor set/costume your MagDK is wearing? Pretty cool looking?

    Actually- both builds are wearing heavy Skinchanger chest and legs with mercenary boots. The DK has hollowjack gauntlets and the warden has frostcaster gauntlets.
