Minor Brittle: Increases the target’s Critical Damage taken by 10% - This is easy with well you know all frost sources they got.
Minor Toughness - 1k it's like ebon but can stack with ebon
Major Resolve: Increased to 5948, up from 5280. - important with damage reduction debuffs
Minor Vulnerability: Decreased to 5%, down from 8%. - why they were in cool crowd before
Minor Fortitude/Endurance/Intellect: Increased to 20%, up from 10%
* Only class with major maim and major protection which is more important with these following nerfs
AOE Breech of Physical and Spell Resistances - Not as cool as Necro but aoe never the less.
Only class able to pull off minor heroism potions without a lost as they have easy acess with healing skills of critical and spell damage buffs from typical pots.

Only class with 2 synergies for alkosh
uh...wut? They're not the only class with two synergies lol.
Assuming this is PVE related, since you mentioned Alkosh. Defile isn't relevant in PVE really. The Fort/Endurance/Intellect is a fair point. Maim/Protection just got nerfed. Nobody really uses Gate, either. I don't think the Maim from that works on bosses, either way. Minor Toughness is the "class buff", as it were. I hate it, but here we are.
No healer is using the AoE breach. A dps will slot that.
We don't really know what uptimes will be for a healer with a frost staff for brittle, we'll have to see.
I so often hear people complain about the Warden buffs/debuffs but really that's all they have. Healers good, tanks are so-so. DPS suffer (it seems) partly due to the fact that so much of our kit is just buffs/debuffs that often can be obtained through other sources, but then we still get punished for having them, especially in PVE.
If people want to have Warden carry less innate in-kit buff/debuff stuff, cool with me. But these threads need to come with a 40 font *and buff Warden DPS* tag to follow them.17 -

They have 2 class synergies as option and potentially up to 4. Some people do use gate.
But I will go back to warden shouldn't have stamina regain 20 percent and Magicka regain 20 percent while sorc only has 20 Magicka regain to give to allies.
Now we can ingore major maim, but overall warden has way to many defensive options to support groups especially now that there's nerf. Frost cloak, protection, major main..then there's minor maim along with the potential allow with brittle. (Look below for brittle)
Increase the chance of applying Chilled to enemies with Winter's Embrace abilities by 200%.
I stand by what I said warden is way over top now.
This is on top of minor vulnerability and major toughness. It's not balanced.

✭You forgot the worst by far... Major mending this single passive makes wardens pretty much unkillable in PVP. Mix it with that long list of buffs and that's why wardens go from 1 to 100 life in just a few seconds.
They need to get rid of that passive or balance it already.PC/DC/NAserver

A few things here;
Applying Chilled while actively holding a Frost Staff now applies Minor Brittle in addition to its other effects. Note that the Staff must be on your active bar when Chilled is applied for this to proc.
First off, we have no idea what kind of duration Brittle has. Second, this requires you to be on a frost staff bar. Definitely doable for healers, but there's going to be gaps. Third, chilled uptimes even with a Warden DPS actually aren't that high. 60% or so on average. That passive is really good for sure, but it's not going to be 100% uptime.5 -

Know what else they have? No unique offensive group buff, particularly one applied by DPS. I feel, or rather hope, that's what Zos intends with Brittle. They need to find a way to make DPS apply it and not supports, which will be rough, but if they can, Warden DPS can finally be moderately relevant in content for like five minutes.5 -

This is only with winter's embrace skills, the only viable one healers might consider using is winter's revenge, even then it's not going to consistently proc the passive. you are massively overstating the power of this passive because you don't play it.PvE Frost Warden Main and teacher.

✭You all are talking like warden will get buffed next Patch because it has so many buffs that get nerfed to trash. While other classes have their raw number buffs staying the same, this is definitely a nerf to wardens.class representative for the working class, non-cp, bwb and Trolling13 -

Most warden buffs don't require much effort, so they can be done by the tank and Necro has way stronger offensive buffs.0 -

MrGhosty✭✭✭✭✭Maybe, just maybe we could see how it plays out in a live environment and see what sort of things can be done by players before declaring something overpowered and requiring nerfs?
Unless you've actually done all the various types of healing on this class on this PTS cycle. At which point I would love to see some actual logs to prove your case."It is a time of strife and unrest. Armies of revenants and dark spirits manifest in every corner of Tamriel. Winters grow colder and crops fail. Mystics are plagued by nightmares and portents of doom."2 -

They are already regarded as top healing class. Please tell me how adding more on top of that won't make it so. It's similar to 1 plus 1 in this case.1 -

From only skills in that skill line of which there is only 1 a healer would probably use in pve, it's an aoe dot which has the lowest chance to apply status effects in the game.
Base chance per tick = 1%
+200% class + 100% staff = 4%
If they happen to use charged, +220% = 6.2%
You're telling me it's OP that a Warden has a 6.2% chance per second to apply chilled to targets?
Any class can just use a frost enchantment for a base 20% chance. 40% with staff, 84% with charged front bar utilizing an infused enchant back bar. This is a NON issue. Seriously grasping at straws here.

✭✭✭✭✭Any class can get better uptime on aoe Major Breach as well from a universal skill called Razor Caltrops. Stamina cost and lasts 10s with a 4s debuff per target hit for up to 14s total. Why would you use a warden healer to cast Scorch every 3rd skill? Thats absolutely ridiciulous.Edited by MashmalloMan on September 28, 2020 11:21PM3 -

They kind of are base game in a way lol. If you buy the 25$ (CAD) eso version, you get Morrowind included.
If you get the Greymoor full price version, you get every previous chapter, including Morrowind and Elsweyr. Every new player today will have at least access to Warden's.
It's the veteran players who refuse to pay for 1 month of a sub to get enough crowns to buy a class at 1500. This is like the farthest thing from pay to win I've ever seen in a game. Anyone who says this needs to play an Eastern MMORPG for 2 minutes to figure out what true pay to win looks like. SMH7 -
