    Probably Winterborn, I can't seem to get away from Plague Doctor on mag builds after the changes.

    Then depending on how much you wanna use permafrost, bloodspawn or skoria, maybe Balorgh if team ult dumping.

    Anyway that's close to the pre-murkmire version I ran. Sure not much has changed

    Winterborn for the nice damage procs that can really help with random burst.
    Iceheart because you gotta complete the meme (Can help with survive but valk is probably better for you)
    Last set is different for almost everyone that doesnt just use a guide, I use Mothers Sorrow to both increase proc speed on iceheart and to give me enough burst just on the Force Pulse that I can burst kill people without resorting so some CC BS or needing my ult.

    Infused Frost enchant weps and Mundus stone is the one that gives me more spell damage.
    Jewellery is all infused with 2 spell damage and 1 mana regen. I never need to heavy attack with this build with very rare exceptions.

    When you weave, you have the light attack, the 4 hits from pulse, the frost enchant hit, and a chance for winterborn to hit. My crit chance is 70%. When winterborn procs and I get a decent number of crits, those are the sorts of attacks that take out the tankier players who usually heal through non-burst damage.

    I also should point out I use Northern Storm and not Permafrost, you got enough CC from Wall of Elements.

    General rotation; Weaving light attack and force pulse, keeping Blue Betty, Living trellis, Ice Fortress and Elemental Drain (if I can be bothered with elemental drain) up (All these buffs are on my off bar along with a copy of magelight for each bar, then keep elemental blockade and winters revenge up, have magelight slotted for bonus crit and maxstat, and falcon wings or whatever its called for another 8% damage. Northern storm on both bars for 8% maxstat.

    Winterborn and the Ult (Permafrost for most people) is really the core of the build, everything else is changeable. I like to think my build is pretty unique with the high crit and being a lot more all-in on cold damage than many other frost wardens who use things like beetles et al for burst.

    Other option would be a winterborn/necropotence build on magden. You get 100% uptime on necropotence, if you have your belly netch up. This also gives you quite strong attack power.

    I run Bloodspawn/ Iceheart + Torugs with frost enchant for roots + winterborn. Very solid setup and doesn't require much skill to get used to, however you can still greatly increase effectiveness when mastered. I love running force shock as spammable in addition to proc other status effects.

    Since warden lacks CCs, sellistrix is really cool in conjunction with your roots and snares to aoe stun people :)

    I just use necro+ Winterborn +troll king. You’ll have pretty much everything in one build. Really good setup in bgs, even better if your team capitalize off having a Warden.

    Snares, roots, ccs, aoe damage, aoe defile, off heals for days etc.

    @CatchMeTrolling , how do you run your bars and traits for that? IMO, in BGs I might prefer grothdar or blood spawn over TK, but to each their own.

    Check your messages. I haven’t changed my bar setup. I’ve used Grothdarr, find skoria to be better because I don’t have to be right on players. Used bloodspawn before clockwork city, it’s good but it doesn’t add anything to a group setting. Magden in my opinion shines at support dps and defense/healing that’s why I build for everything in one build.

    Can’t remember my exact traits. Just know my weapon is nirn and my back bar has poison.

    I’ve been toying with shackle and torugs but I’m not great at it.
    I like the flexibility extra stam offers.

    Winterborn and torugs for damage and then a defensive monster set. Ice heart, bloodspawn or pirate skele. Stack regen
