As the question asks, is it viable to be a stam warden? I've never played warden class just recently unlocked it and I am wanting to give it a try. However most guides for wardens all say the same about them being an almost pure magicka class. I have already looked at their skills and a I do see where most of their skills will scale from magicka. I already have a High Elf Templar going a pure magicka build and was wanting a more melee orientated class to play and from a quick glance it seems like warden would fit that niche for me. Am I safe going with a melee build using warden class or will I eventually be forced into picking up a destro staff in order to deal optimal damage even when questing?

If it helps I was already planning out using medium gear and either a DW/Bow or 2Hand/Bow combination with my warden.
