buff magwarden

Srsly pay to lose class is not reasonable.
Magwarden only does decent dmg with bear, it is not reliable in real pve and in pvp is just terrible.
Buff warden zos, my suggestion is change ice shard duration to 8 second and keep total dmg the same (so 50% dps buff).
And change swarm from 10 second to 8 second and keep total dmg the same.
Only buff netch will not make mag warden relevant. and 8/10/12 sec dots is just hard to play.

    Be serious. Every class is reliable in pve.

    My magwarden roflstomps through content - including group delves - effectively naked. I often don't bother to repair my equipment because everything dies before it gets close enough to hit me. World bosses and dungeons are the only content I repair for.

    Same was true for other classes when I played them, but easier for sorcs and wardens since pets draw aggro and can casually take hits from boss mobs.

    It's very easy. There are stamina and magicka morphs of every ability. Buff the magicka variety.

    All MagDen needs is a few minor tweaks to skills and passive and it will be in a good spot.

    That's exactly how you gauge PvE effectiveness.

    Group delves are as the name suggests, group PvE content.

    If I roflstomp through group PvE content, obviously solo PvE content is laughably easy. Enemies practically melt when I sneeze.

    No. It's not.

    I doubt any serious PvE'r would refer to delves as "group PvE". Not even in Craglorn - it's laughably easy. "Group PvE" is commonly known to refer to instanced group activities like dungeons and trials.

    The proper gauge for testing PvE effectiveness for individual classes is on target dummies, and in trials, preferably vet. Dummies provide a common baseline for simple comparison, and trials are used for testing under live conditions.

    OP is right btw. Magden needs serious work.

    Magden is still the worst performing DPS class in the game and has been consistently so for nearly a year and a half - since its release.

    Magden is fine in pvp.

    All it needs really is a decent cc but even then it's still a very strong class.
    PS4 EU DC

    Current CP : 756+

    I have every character level 50, both a magicka and stamina version.


    RIP my effort to get 5x v16 characters...

    Swarm. That's the key IMO. It's magic damage and will not benefit Stamden. Remove the damn double cast crap, go back to reduced cost, and put in something similar to Bow's poison injection so it ramps up damage as the target drops its health.

    No buffs with Murkmire. To be expected since ZOS didn't touch them after the first (misguided) balance pass. Still the worst DPS class by a country mile.

    The only positive is that the bear can't die in dungeons and trials anymore.

    LOL are you really "measuring" Magwarden's effectiveness thru world bosses and group delves?!?!?!?!? XD HAHAHAHAH

    Swarm needs to be adjusted.
    Fetcher Infections double cast is annoy/ boring. Each cast should be worth the cost. Growing should grow per 1 or 2 seconds as most trash mobs are dead within 10 seconds. Also giving this skill a synergy would be nice.

    And another ice dps skill would be good.

    This is what the entire magden population wants. I wouldn't say its the only key though.

    And those useless flies skills, and half the others.. The healing line that isn't as "good" as resto could be overhauled as well..

    No buffs at all? Weird.

    Maybe they are overshadowed by the "1 step forward & 2 steps backward" type of nerfs that we got on Swarm and Bear, as well as them butchering Falcon's Swiftness + morphs

    Smth that's been boggling my mind is that both DK and Temp had their ground placed DoTs improved, yet the Warden's Winter's Revenge got ignored.

    When you say group delves do you mean dungeons? Because I can't tell any difference in difficulty between delves and the outside.

    The latter is the way to go. But frozen gate is generally alright. The warden discord members want the enemy pull to be removed from frozen retreat but for the synergy to stay, damage to be buffed and maybe for the immobilise to turned into a stun.
