    Are you joking? I can solo even group+ content with my warden (and I am not talking about public group delves). Wardens have incredible utility and also in PvP are really strong.

    Every class can solo everything, and they have an even easier time than the warden since they can burst down bosses more quickly.

    wut?

    I am currently running a Khajiit Stamina Warden Healer. It's very strong. My soothing spores crit for like 12k, and every tick of my Echoing Vigor is 1-1.2k. Crit is 61-63% unbuffed. I don't know what's considered top of the line, but when I heal in dungeons people are hardly taking damage.

    My setup is,

    TBS w/ Thief + Ritual
    Alkosh (not really any stam healing sets out there)
    DW/Bow, 1 powered, 1 precise 1h's, powered bow. Enchants are weapon damage, crusher, and weakening.
    Troll King.

    Without any CP factored in, the powered + TK + ritual is 23-26% bonus to heals.

    Trust me, it's strong. It might not be end-game vet HM trial strong, but.. it's fun!

    It's not meta so it's not good! That's the credo of the ESO forum.

    Great that you are using a somehow interesting and fresh build instead of following the meta.

    Arctic Wind heals for 10% of your Health.

    Abd in pvp its 5%, actually im not entirely sure which route I want to go with my warden, right now it seems like there are 2 "main" routes u can go (talking about magicka warden).

    1. go the necropotence route and ur main defense are shields + lotus (mainly for the ressource gain passive) and healing ward.

    I combined that with amberplasm and have great success with it, but sometimes it feels like a "gimped sorc"

    2. the more like the "templar" route, ur defense is eines, lotus, shimmering and other heals. Problem is I have to war at least 1 defense set, another is needed for resources. I can build it very tanky but then I lack dmg. (Impreg, wizards riposte etc).

    Right bow I prefer the necro Route, the other feels more squishy for me, although I think that this is the route the warden is meant to play.

    DMG with 50k+ mag and 2k spelldmg is OK, although I feel like it scales better with SD as with magicka.

    No, Arctic Wind heals for 20% of your health. 10% on the initial cast and 10% during the 10 seconds HoT.

    All I know is that as far as PVP goes I can kill Wardens fairly easily and rarely die to one. And I'm not a particularly good player.

    I appreciate their buffs and heals tho :)

    I agree that every class can solo everything, but the statement I quoted before took a fairly different stance. Besides that, soloing a large HP boss is not really about burst, more about managing resources and survivability.

    Warden lacks DPS. Winter's Embrace and Animal Companions are too focused on buffs and / or protection. I really want ZOS to give Wardens a proper finisher, e.g. the Screaming Cliffracer morph (would be amazing when this skill would deal frost damage). And maybe one additional frost DPS skill. Skill 1, 4 and 5 in WE are just super lackluster.

    Are you cp 160+? Are you playing overland questing? Because you can literally light attack every to death there, go do vet CoA2 HM with your hybrid and come back (note this is not even a new dungeon, just a basic DPS test)

    Warden is doomed to fail at being a good pve dps by design. Every skill meant to deal damage has some minor or other buff which means they can't be on par with pure damage abilities from other classes.

    On top of that, the skills are very expensive and prevent you from doing a spammable rotation in pve. My warden doesn't have his undaunted passives yet, but I haven't even been able to break 30k dps trying as hard as possible with a proper gear setup, while I can get that on my sorc in my sleep.

    If you are having trouble with your warden, Might I recommend this build to you.

    Always remember though: "Lethal Power comes with a powerful curse."
    If you see me anywhere. Know that I am sitting back with a bag of popcorn, watching as ESO burns the goodwill of its player base with practices that only disrespects the players time like it did to me and many others...

    If a game does not respect your time, best thing to do is move on from it and find something else.

    Warden needs a few tweaks

    Cliff racer needs more... either up the speed or a 30% chance to knockdown target.

    Ice passive for snares scrap that give us a max resource like health or magicka or like 5% hp mp sp since warden is kinda hybridish.

    Plant skills too many seem similar would like a heal similar to crit surge since all the heals except mushroom have clunky animations and the blossoms heal req seems a bit annoying for a mag class... like other classes have a rapid heal to survive gang ups sorcs has surge, nb can spam any attack and heal, templar everything heals or dps heals, dk can low health heal and ult regen everything. But on skills like lotus i just dont light and heavy enough in a fight to get use out if it and the mushroom is decent but seems low.

    Also up the duartion on the netchs major buffs to like 25 secs i feel im recasting it it way too much to keep up dps its expired by the time i get my dots up.

    Lotus blossom skill change the cast to slotted for the crit bonus. Would be great to not have mage light for once on a mag class.


    Neat optional idea give wardens a 3% wep snd spell dmg bonus when using a two handed weapon. Since they seem to be a go to for two hander, bow, staff etc

    Biggest gripe is long cast times for everything no clss skills can be cancelled leaving them wide open for butt wooping... and many many failed casts of the netch cast it then press a dps skill too soon netch summon cancels ..

    Mag warden is fine... DPS, tank or healing too. If you go for healing, don't expect to play it like a templar spamming Breath of Life.

    Only thing I'm really missing in PvP is a proper finisher...

    That's called teamplay and has nothing to do with classes. When you coordinate an attack on a single player it should die regardless of the class.
