Hello everyone!
Since we got so many nice changes in this expansion and Im looking at 2h wpns counting as 2 and crafting jewelry, I was wondering what you guys think about a warden tank/heal hybrid for vet dungeons (since I doubt it can work in trials, except maybe for offtank/offhealer).

I was thinking of running a magicka based hybrid w/ frost/resto staff. Sadly I don't know what sets to use and Im not sure which skills would fit the best here.

Can any of you, drop some knowledge?
Much appreciated :)

    Most Warden tanks already have healing spells on their list, still want to use a 1h+SH on your main bar with Pierce Armor, Ice Fortress, Enchanted Growth, and Secluded Grove (either morph works). Charged Frost Staff on the backbar, you can go full offensive with Winter's Revenge(range AOE pull), Arctic Blast, Elemental Blockade, and Northern Storm. Also on the backbar I like to use Blue Betty and Birds of Prey or Lotus Blossom for added healing.

    That moment when you actually want fake healer in group finder )

    And this is the main problem of hybrid heal/tank build, assuming you check tank role in group finder ofcuz. For most effective use of this build you need a pre-made group of 3 DD's. PUG finder will not work this way, cuz chance you get an agressive healer is almost 0%. Most healers in dungeons just cast 2-3 HoT's and literally do nothing else, so this won't work in such case.

    uh.. with all due respect, I wasn't asking for the practically of this build :). But, since you opened this subject: my plan is to make a true hybrid (as close as I can get to 50% tank 50% heal). Which means, that I can check both tank&healer. As you already have said, most healers dont do much, which also applies to most tanks. So, it doesnt matter if Im assigned as tank or healer, I will be able to handle it (dungeons ONLY). Although you are correct that a pre-made would be optimal, this setup will still cut down any waiting time for pledges, which is my aim. Cheers :)
