How to make good use of Warden's Bear in PvP?

I still haven't figured out if the bear is useful in PvP or not. Permafrost is just so good when facing multiple enemies, I don't know if the bear is worth it. My problem is more that the execute is hard to handle and barely working - or maybe it's just me. Can experienced PvP Wardens tell me if the bear is useful and how to properly use it?

✭It’s excellent in duels with a fire staff build... you need to predict when your burst combo will bring your opponent to execute and then hit them with the ult... make sure to time this combo around your bears cc immunity timer though so the ult doesn’t get negated by a well timed cc0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Thanks for the video but I can barely see anything. Either the video is very hard to follow / clunky (watched it on my phone, maybe that's why) or the bear does nothing except chasing enemies and running back and forth. As a Stamden it just looks and feels wasted for me and I really wanna get convinced that it's not the case.PS5EUAldmeri Dominion- Khajiit Arcanist -0 -

✭✭✭✭✭On a stamden, I would say the bear is not worth running. Dawnbreaker is too good with your burst damage.
On a magden, I have found good use of the bear running Necro and a lightning staff. You just have to be sure to heavy attack for targeting and time your ult use properly.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭If you wanna use the Bear, make sure to put a lot of points in Befoul and use both Major & Minor Defile (Poisons or Fasalla). Gotta put a lot of pressure on your opponent's health pool to make it easier for your GuardianEdited by Tryxus on March 5, 2019 12:01AM"Stand strong, stay true and shelter all."

Pdoherty4637_ESO✭✭✭So I have a bit of experience running bear in battlegrounds. Keep in mind I only do this for fun, as permafrost/lights champion would be overall more effective ultimate choices. The key to doing anything useful with the bear is rooting. it really does to a lot of damage and can stun using its slam ability, but only if the targets are moving slowly/rooted. There are a few ways to accomplish this, i find the most effective to be using a charged ice staff with a frost enchant and frost wall of elements (almost guaranteed root on non shielded enemies) and the Sellistrix monster helm for an aoe stun thats fairly easy to land on slowed/rooted targets. frost clench/reach also work but are very expensive without a frost master staff. Using the bear takes a bit of practice on the timing but if you can properly land your burst and predict the moment your enemy will be in execute range, you can delete people with it. Very fun when you get good at it, but as I said above, it really inst an optimal build at all. let me know if you have any specific questions.Edited by Pdoherty4637_ESO on March 11, 2019 2:03AM1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Oh the bear is really useful. When I'm running low on stamina I usually smack it around to get resources back.3 -

This is true for all pet spammers. As a healer I love it when opponents use them. They’re only effective for target blocking bow types, but they’re so weak in pvp I don’t see the point in countering them.
Issue I’ve found with the bear is you have to have it on both your bars. Permafrost is too good to pass up.

✭✭I really don't know I bearly use it.Playing your character the way your character should play is all that matters. Play as well as you can but never betray the character. Doing so would make playing an mmoRPG pointless.0
