If you want one character and one character only grind CP. If you plan on having alts, and it seems you do, use the extra exp to level the new character(and any others you are thinking about) to 50. CP comes fast once you are running level 50s through the quests and clearing out the zones.

I can't speak for other high CP players but personally I regret any time I spent grinding CP. I'm at 1012 CP now, they just keep coming. Every second spent getting to the 501CP cap as fast as I could, was time that could have been spent doing other things in game. And CP is not the be all end all we all thought it would be, when we were lower CP. I'm not amazing because I am at/over cap.

Part of me wishes they would do a complete overhaul of the CP system and make everything be non combat perks. Throw in reduced upgrade costs for crafting, increased %s on pickpocket, better odds for certain traits. Things that would stop the feeling of having to increase your CP. Things that would get people to stop arguing about CP and it's effects on gameplay. Things that take away a reason to cap it.

Tbh the event will be long enough for you to do both.

This is what I'm doing: on my MagSorc or my Templar, both of whom seem to have better RNG luck, I'm going to grind CP with XP pots at dolmens in a zone that has a set I want for my new DK tank (which is currently level 9). Once all enlightenment is used up, I'm going to switch to the DK, pop an XP pot, and do the same thing at the Auridon dolmens. Once I've banked more enlightenment, I'll switch back to CP character and repeat the process.

I'll never want to see another dolmen by the end of the event, but on the plus side, I'll have a fully levelled DK with purple jewelry and, hopefully, 450+ CP!

Its a game: Do whats fun for u. if it isnt fun, dont do it. If grinding is your definition of "having fun in a game" sure, go ahead.

Both, but if you plan on grinding the new toon (as opposed to questing it up or something more enjoyable) do that first.

With 2x XP and a scroll active, you should be able to power up a new toon in an evening or two, leaving the rest of the time to push CP on either toon.

There are 4, or 5, Double Exp events each year. We will have Witches for the last two weeks of the month, then New Life near the end of the year, Jester around Spring Break, one for the Anniversary in April. I think the Mid Summer one is just Double AP.

So, you have plenty of Double EXP events coming in the next 6 months.

As others have already said in here, you can do both, OP.

The double-XP buff stacks with other XP buffs, so you can start a new Warden, get him/her to level 50 in short order, and then use your new Warden to grind out the rest of your trip to 660.

It's a win-win, and all you really have to do is join in with one of the Zergs that will be on grind-course through... pretty much any/all Public Dungeons. They'll be running in large circles through the Public Dungeons, hitting the Champions and Bosses as they respawn. As long as you do damage to the Champions, Public Event Boss, and Dungeon Boss; you get the XP (at the buffed rate), the Plunder Skulls, and the benefit of all those Champion Points.

The Witches Festival is one of those events where it really benefits a person wanting to level out a brand new character.

My advice would be to ignore the xp boost, just play the game the way you want to. It's neither a race nor a competition, nor is it an exercise in establishing let alone pursuing the most efficient way of reaching whatever you might consider to be "the end". Just play, and enjoy.

i'm in a simular situation as you, what i choose to do is just find a main character and try to complete everything on him.
so i'd suggest to level the warden first then choose a main and just play on that one

I'd rather grind to 660 than roll a Warden.

But better to roll another class than grind to 660.

Here's another question is warden even worth it

it does more burst dps than any other class and the worst part is that it has the best survival. Just goes to show zos doesn't know how balance anything.

Really? Stamina I assume? And why does everyone say it's bad?

The Min Maxers and those focused on max DPS don't like the Wardens.

However, when I duo killed the Daedroth World Boss in Stormhaven on my L14 Warden with an L9 Scrub who was hanging around and helping out, it showed me the Warden is a viable PvE character outside of Vet Dungeons and Trials. And, it may not be too bad for those, it all depends. Probably best as Healers in those places.

But you have to play them to the Class, and that means using the Heals to Survive and the Ranged Attacks to chip away at the mobs. So, a Warden can be fun character to play, but your not going to get invited to every party with them. They are not a YOLO wade in and spam damage skills type of character.

Personally, it would be the last Class I would roll.

Why do ppl say it's the best burst damage then?
