I really, REALLY wanna see an update on Warden's rework.

Like, what will the visuals look like? How are they handling the animal companions line? Will we get any offensive green balance skills? What about the frost themeing? Is the rest of the class gonna lean into frost? I really hope we can get a little teaser soon!

yes that would indeed be nice to know.

Based on the June Roadmap, there's streams on 18th and 23rd, we should hopefully get our first look at the Warden then, especially since I think U51 hits the PTS in early July

June 18 is for Player Experience Improvements in u51.
June 23 is Dev Updates, could include Warden Refresh.
July 6 is pts launch.

there could be a separate livestream for Warden right before pts in earlier july, if it is not discussed on June 23.

I knew it was early July, but couldn't remember the exact date
I agree that the Dev Update stream is the most likely one, but there might be some mentions in the Player Experience Improvements one, so it'll still be worth keeping an eye on

As a Warden main, this is kinda "make or break" for me. I am equally as excited as I'm scared. I have hopes, and I'd really don't wanna see my class and gameplay made worse, so... Yeah, the sooner we get a preview the better, so I can put my anxiety to rest.

I feel like it'll be difficult to make it worse considering warden doesnt even have a gameplay mechanic or focus. It literally just has shalks cadence and that's it. I dont see the gameplay of shalks going away either.

The wait's almost over, knowing sooner won't change anything. I just suggest players wait for actual PTS to judge the overall direction, and then the Live patch to judge the final numbers. People often seem to be looking for reasons to panic, and, unsurprisingly, find them everywhere.

I know it’s a hot take but I really wanna see the class changed from top to bottom. Hopefully we can get rid of the morrowind theme too.

Hopefully Winter's Embrace will get a spammable you can use on frost builds

Yeah, definitely hope they abandon the Morrowind theme, but stick to Flora + Fauna + Frost

The same is true with me. Its already bad enough they're forcing us into a beam on ever character. I do not want a beam on my Warden after 4 years of the Arcanist and them ruining heavy attack splash damage (U35) and all of our characters (U46) to force that. Remove light attack weaving if people think there are too many buttons and keep the beams away from my Warden. Or this talk of poison damage. I do not want poison damage on my Warden. If anything, it needs to be restored to the DK.

They need to address the real problem, it's Subclass. These underwhelming and inadequate Class Mastery passives are not going to keep the rest of us waiting YEARS to get our characters we had on leaderboards back. And bought the game to play.

I'm less concerned with balancing and mostly just excited about thematic / visual changes tbh
