    I couldn't even tell you what the bear does (and my magden is my second most played character) because I need to have useful ults on my bar since I 1vX. Though even if I did use it the changes don't matter since with them destroying shields my warden will become unplayable (the only mag class I have that won't be completely gutted in Nerfmire is my heal warden). I look at anyone that has the bear out the same way everyone looked at bearbow rangers in GW2.

    Unless you are willing to be a mindless sycophant and/or coddle others due to their insecurities prepare to be harrased by the Orwellian enforcers on these forums. You should also try to refrain from using any words more complex than those used by a small child due to the fact that said enforcers have made it clear that their vocabulary pool is aenemic.

    Weren't they the class and spec choice for bots?

    If they push this through, I don't see many people using bears at all. Why would you? Considering

    1) You need to double slot it. Why would you gimp yourself after this nerf?

    2) The dramatic loss in effectiveness. People will just use another ultimate after this goes through.

    It will boil down to Warden and Bear being a thing of the past. Which, to me, is an amazingly backwards way to go about "improving" a class, considering the heavy marketing of that combo when they were trying to sell it.

    It is a rare mind indeed that can render the hitherto non-existent blindingly obvious. The cry 'I could have thought of that' is a very popular and misleading one, for the fact is that they didn't, and a very significant and revealing fact it is too. - Douglas Adams

    Exactly. They marketed this class with the bear and they set up the infrastructure to have other pet skins. If they want to sell the skins, they need to keep the bear impressive. He needs to be powerful because there is already a major downside to using him; not being able to use other ultimates

    Strong class identity: you rely on your class skills to do damage, healing, whatnot
    Weak class identity: you rely on weapon skills and all classes run the same set up apart from 1 or 2 buffs

    Just Buff Nothern storm to be on par with Bear damage and let Teddy live.

    I wasn't aware of that change. Yeah, they really need to reconsider what that morph does it this is the case.

    Are you really going forward with this 30% reduction?

    Try it without the reduction and let’s see if people will play Warden more. If there is a population surge in Wardens then Im wrong, the bear is OP. And not on dummy parses. On a vet boss that moves (I know someone is going to do the vaults of madness end boss who is completely stationary to make a point).

    I’m feeling pretty pessimistic about it too. No one else would stand for this. I’m really disappointed, like in a way parents get disappointed

    They are going to sell skins for the bear as other animals, don’t you worry. That is a Guarantee when they made a new section in Collections for combat pets. Personally I want a wolf.

    I’m going to be real with you, I’ll still play warden. Zos knows this so they will do whatever they want.

    15 months of neglect and nerfs with no end in sight.

    No class has ever been this awful for this long.

    Ummm i would say that mDK being really unplayable from TG until Homestead (i think that's when it's buffs came) is longer :)

    That was only 11 months.

    Magdens have been unplayable ever since they launched (June 2017) to now (October 2018), so 16 months.

    Literally every single endgame beta tester in Morrowind told them the class could not launch in its current state, and ZOS just ignored all the feedback.

    This is so true, and after all the horrible changes that came with Morrowind they really should of gave us something more.

    I'll just make the same comment I did in the other thread: I'm glad the bear is nerfed and it might cause me to come back to the class. As long as a pet was required to do decent DPS, the class was dead.

    Yes but stamina wardens will be forced into using non-class ultimates which seems to go against the 3 branch skill tree that ZoS used to define the variants of the class

    I admire your singleminded devotion to follow me from thread to thread gloating about how glad you are about the bear nerf, but if you actually read the OP you’d see this is about Arctic Blast as well.
