Deceptive Predator

daveywavey · November 2018

With the new changes to Major Expedition and Major Evasion, I'm finding myself less than enthused about what used to be one of my favourite Warden skills.
The 4 second duration of Expedition is so short as to be almost useless, and the Evasion's AoE defence is a very poor alternative to Dodge chance.

Has this skill just been nerfed out of usefulness? Are any of you using it?
Or does it still have it's place in our skillbars?

you are completely right, this is dead useless morph now

No. Not using it.

I've replaced it on my bar as well. Really bummed that it got caught up in the overzealous speed nerfs.

Yep... no reason to actually use the ability... it now sits there on you bar for the passive effect as it’s active effects are not worth the gcd and magicka costs

Occasionally in bgs, but beyond that not anymore

Shame tho, I was looking forward to the Evasion change but the Speed nerf, the passive effect on only 1 bar and the fact that we still have to pay the same amount of Magicka for only 1.4 of the 3 buffs we used to get for that cost pretty much gutted the skill

Might as well delete wardens, what they brought to the table has all been mostly nerfed into oblivion. Must be a new class around the corner, didn't they pretty much nerf all the classes when warden was introduced? Hmmm....

But 11% more damage on that bar... not the worst thing, but casting it is about useless.
