Has anyone tried out a Warden Tank/Heals build yet?

humpalicous · June 2017

Just wanted to see what you folks have been doing with your Wardens.

I'm currently leveling an Argonian Warden Tank/Healer that will focus on Magicka and magic abilities, while tanking with a frost staff and healing with the help of the Wardens existing healing abilities and the Restoration tree.

It's by no means made for the DLC veteran dungeons or veteran trials, just a fun and different build for solo content and 4 man dungeons (both vet and normal) with the exception of the DLC ones as they require more min-max builds.

My question then stands:

Has anyone tried this out yet or been in a group with a similar build? Curious to see the overall experience with this!

This one that Alcast is using seems very interesting to me, and I plan to run something similar when I get mine leveled up.

Yes, Argonian Warden Healer with good tankyness(as far as PvP is concerned) and a focus on Group support.

I just got mine to lv50. I need to finish out some skill lines and flesh out a couple other things. Then off to PvP she goes!

I am excited about this build. I know it needs some polish, but first it needs test runs in Cyro before that can happen.

Yep, made a Tava's/Thunderbug/Bloodspawn Warden tank with Enchanted Forest on the backbar ultimate. You can pretty much cure bomb your entire group over and over again every few seconds. I'll leave the rest of the skill setup to your imagination.

Edit: Forgot to mention this setup was easy to solo a lot of vet pledges with, and the Vvardenfell world bosses.

Lvl'd two wardens so far. First as a mag tank using s&b, which was flat out op. She's a mag healer now and still works great for vets, and she'll probably do just fine in trials. Second is a stam healer. Very powerful in dungeons, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to make it viable for trials.

Yep, but my Warden tank/healer is simply just a tank. Leeching Vines, Lotus Flower, and Enchanted Forest are really sufficient for most groups in dungeons and open-world content. Nothing else is really needed from a class whose sustain is built around healing people.

I'm actually working on it, with both Stamden and Magden.

I have just a warden trial healer. Works almost 100% like my Templar with just less burst.

What kind of burst healing are you getting? I stripped my templar healer and am using the gear on my mag warden and the burst is definitely lower. But, you hit more people with it so it's kinda balanced.

My stam healer warden on the other hand burst heals like a champ. Much higher than my mag warden, as much or higher than my templar while still being able to hit more people.

My Warden healer, using 5x SPC and 5x Worm Cult with Master Resto and Master Lightning Staves

I don't exactly have a Templar to compare him with, but he gets the job done in Vet Dungeons and Trials. That's all that matters to me

I am playing a warden healer. I don't have a complete set yet, but I really like using the EH1 monster set (whenever you heal a target you have a chance of summoning a strangler that will heal that target for x amount over 4 sec. 10 sec CD). And I will prob use it over 5 pieces of worm since I don't have much sustain issues.

Mundus stone: Mage, but I will swap to atro when I get better set pieces for whatever set I end up going with.

Gear

Right now I have: 4 pieces Sanctuary 2 pieces EH1 monster (medium and heavy, to get full use of Undaunted passives). But I will change to SPC, I just got Sanctuary to make it easier to do vet dungs.

My abillity setup is right now:

Destro staff: Dive, Scorch, Elemental Drain, Lotus Flower and ice armor (I mainly use this for solo content, but I will use Ele drain and Lotus bloom in group content)

Resto Staff: Orb, fungal growth, flower(morphed to allow early detonation), resto staff AoE heal and Betty Netch.

Ults: War Horn (morphed to extra crit dgm) and Healing Thicket (morphed to extra healing after it ends)

I know it is not optimal, but this far I've had no problems with doing non-DLC vhm pledges with this setup, not even without buff food or potions.

I play as khajiit so if you try this build you don't have to worry about what race you are.
