Theorycrafting Alcast's Stam Sorc build into a Warden Build.

@Alcast, and others. I need help with an idea.

So inwas watching Alcasts solid performance running his Stamina Sorcerer and taking it to 60+k aoe damage. Looking at his loadout in 2handed and bow, the on,y two skills differing for Warden are Hurricane and Boind armaments. In fact Warden gers one more skill slot, since it does not need to double slot the Sorcs Bound armaments skill.

Would it be possible to replace Hurricane with Arctic Blast (and possibly the hard htting Subteranean assult), and then replace Bound armaments with a different Warden skill and get close to the same DPS?

I wish they would switch piercing cold back to a 6% physical/frost buff instead of a magic/frost buff.

    Arctic blast is sooooo weak that it's not worth using on any build.

    Nothing comes close to Hurricane on a Warden. You can use Deadly Clock instead if you run Dual Wield. You will definitely want to fit in Subterranean Assault. You will also want to fit in Bull Netch (this replaces Sorc Power Surge).

    Those might be my edits. Here's why the Sorc works:
    - main DMG come from outside sources.
    - as Sorc with hurricane and boundless armaments he is getting 4% WD for the 2 Sorc abilities plus he is increasing his stamina 4% and recovery by 20% with BA. Hurricane is free-action DMG as he can "set-it-and-forget-it"

    As warden, you won't get that hurricane dot and miss out on 20% Stam recovery. Here's what you can do:
    - axe main hand. Light attack weave will proc bleed.
    - Sub Assault + bird of Prey to gain the similar bonuses as the Sorc. Two animal abilities means 4% DMG and bird of Prey will give you 12% Stam recovery. Also bird of Prey will give you an easy minor berserk.
    - I did backbar bird of Prey. I imagine the 2% DMG isn't sexy compared to the 5% extra Stam. But that could be a flex slot.
