Warden: 1.85 template :>

[Ati]

Hey,

As can be seen form a thread around here I am looking for a 1.85 warden template, I made one and would really like anyones opinions!

Good points of the template:

only uses 99% chain which is dirt cheap on housing!
Nice resists (spirit a tad low :<)
Nice mele defense: 40AF WH 5% passive mele resists on sword
Awesome healing capabilities: 75emp 9% cast 100dex 18 heal bonus

The template will run with trairos in the 2h slot for pve and rvr, I will switch to this weapon when playing offensive for the 5% mele haste and the mist procs for interupting (aswell as fast weapon)

Thanks alot for reading, hope you can provide some feedback!!

Personally I think you would be better off using with traitors in the right hand slot and battler on your back for the charge. Also I would put EH in for GOV, Purely for surivability reasons (arrogance charge + resist proc).

Im not sure what the rational is for using champ weapon? (maybe it has the same passive melee resist as the paladin weapon? If it does then maybe you could justify it)

Hey,

thanks alot, ill try and justify why ive used both and see if its enough reason

GoV has not only the best stats for any class in the game on a warden but a pretty nice 50AF charge (Extra 5% abs afaik) vs those tanks and when soloing. This fires MUCH more than the conversion on the EH.
The warden CL weapon does have 5% passive resists, and a power charge /use i think. Being a support warden this is vital to me aswell as the cast speed and heal bonus on that weapon:>

The traitors on the back could be swapped for malice, however i feel that my passive damage absorption (Extra resists) will be more beneficial than spiked absorption (malice battler som etc.)


are these points justified? :>

thanks very much

Debating on placing 5 emp instead of 10 AF on boots.

either 5emp more or 1% mele abs more :< tough one

 

[Spetsnaz]

SC Emp is almost usless on warden according to Warden TL Tombo

as wardens get little in return

ok nice, thanks alot.

what increases healing? only heal bonus? :<

 

[Spetsnaz]

aye thats why i only get whatever emp i get for items in any template... (according to Tombo 164 emp is the magic number to have on warden for healing and this without any powerpool)

ps. large shild inc on warden

Why would you ever want to use a large shield in RvR?
More end cost for a shield style, generally slower as medium/small shields sure it has less penalty against more attackers but if you can't get BG in when the train hits your caster/support then that person dies nomatter if you got him guarded or not.

The only way I would ever consider using a large shield is if it would be an Arti shield or high util large shield and only if it would be fast, pointless using a slow as hell large shield.

Solo / duo / trio. Or if the tank train has brains and decides to hit you. End cost? dude...

 

[Andrilyn]

Yes you might think end cost for a warden isn't that important but you also said solo fights in which case any bit of end you can spare is vital and in a 10+ min fight a large shield means you just wasted half or an entire end bar on extra end for slams which you could have used for ML9+10.
If the train has the brains to attack my warden instead of switching to my Druids/Bard other caster(s) then I can do nothing but /point /laugh /winged helm/battler charge.

 

[Drungan]

not totally sure about this, but end cost is also dependent of shield speed and not its size? if so, there's fast large shields (galla door anyone?) out ...
atleast large is 5% more blocking on paper

just correct me if i'm wrong

 

[Ballard]

- End cost is dependent on speed not size.

- Shield size does not affect guard at all.

- Shield size only affects blocking blows aimed at you when you have multiple attackers (i.e removes the penalty).

- Shield speed not size affects slam damage. The slower the better. Using the DS aegis 300-400 dmg slams are on the cards with no TOA bonuses on classic.

Played guard bot on classic alot and prior to celerity I used two identical shields but with great differences in size and speed (DS buckler and aegis) depending on the situation. post celerity I would only ever use the aegis. Dont know if this is relevant or not
