Reasons why I use Frost Staff for the Mag Warden

✭✭✭✭✭It's good for more defensive playstle, but looks like a wierdo in offensive, and number pushing world. Still have my compete support.
P.S remember don't take the passive that taunts.

✭✭Build crit resist into it and go into PvP. As far as PvE goes this will give pretty bad DPS
BUT if it breaks your immersion so much about using forst and fire at the same time, there is a medical condition called shock in which blood cannot carry oxygen to the brain becuase of rapid temperature change or whatever (I'm a medic not a doctor) and it CAN be deadly.Flawless Conqueror ~ Grand OverlordShe/Her ~ PC/NA | I record things for fun and for info0 -

As most will wear light or medium armor with a sorc, warden or not, when you blast out that heavy frost attack, you taunt, and if at a boss, yeah, you'll be back-paddling around while the boss chases you; which happens quite often with a sorc or warden with a frost staff. Ha ha. Plus, the ice heavy attack breaks a S&B tank's active taunt. I hate this when I'm on my S&B tank toon at a world boss pit or running dungeon where there is also a sorc dd with ice staff. Whatever if he/she realize it or not, but that damn heavy ice blast always breaks my tank's taunt. Also, if even someone plans to actually tank with a heavy frost, it is still at a disadvantage over a S&B Pierce Armor taunt which also reduces the target's physical and spell resistances which the heavy ice blast does not do.
As for being a dd/dpsers with a sorc or staff warden, you just miss out on the perks/passives of the lightning staff aoe and the extra damage of the inferno, when you use a frost in place of either. Plus, it is seemingly more efficient to regen your resources with a lightning heavy attack. However, hey, if you like using a frost staff and it works for you, then use it, but be aware of the taunt effect of the heavy blast. Well, if you're also built to take damages like a tank and is ok with the boss being on you like a tank. Yeah, that forest/trees healing ultimate is awesome for a warden; otherwise you probably won't last so long with a boss pommeling you.
Wardens get extra damage with Frost.
The heavy attack that taunts is simply a passive. You just need not take it. Problem is though...that same passive gives extra damage for lighting and fire, so forces people into only Frost. So might help if this redesigned.0 -

ValkynSketha✭✭✭✭✭I wish they would make the passive change based on what armour on you, like the passive will increase single and fire for fire staff, aoe and shock for shock staff, single and frost for frost staff while wearing 5xlight armour, the passive change to taunting + increase fire/shock/frost damage dealt to target for x time when heavy attacking depending on which staff equipped when wearing 5xheavy armour, pls make it happen.

If you heavy attack with an ice staff, you'll taunt the npc you targetted. If it's a boss, it could really screw over the group. However, in pvp or solo, this build would be fun.
Fortunately the taunt only appears if the ice staff user has the Tri-focus passive. That's where ice staff gets its taunt effect.
However, I'll admit that as a tank, nothing gets me watching like a hawk faster than seeing one of my DPS or healer whip out an ice staff. Because I don't know if you have the Tri-focus passive active or not, but I will know if you pull boss aggro from me. (And if you pull aggro, I will inform you that if you taunt it again, you'll be tanking it.)
I use it on my magblade offtank -- it's fun utility and I can move into a number of roles. It is a compromise, but I'mm willing.0 -

✭✭Sounds like this would be fun in pvp! Freeze all the people.
Sadly, the frost staff is not as good as it should be, but I'm all for fun builds, I love ice magic too!
Hm, maybe I should form a guild of people who run unconventional builds, see what sort of content we can run together.Struggling to find a new class to call home.Please send help.1
