Warden template advice.

[Gear]

First time I'm trying to make a warden template. Final spec is 49n 42r so wont be part of any assist train, will be BGing and annoying as much as possible. Hence I tried to put a shitloads of toys in it and came up with the following, however I did gimp some magic resists and my question is how much will that affect me in the role I described?

Artis used: Gov, WH, Scallars, TD, BoZ, CB, HEC and EoY (Malice in the 2-handed for the arrogance use). Full list will be posted when I get the last 2 items I need

I'm not looking for a particular template, I just need to know what wardens are mostly up against and if it worths having all the toys I want by sacrificing some resists. I can always take some things out and fill up on the resists issue.

 

[olD.leap]

ah ok, well imo after being away for a few months, i will get items to survive longer in fights and thats what that temp will give me, at least in next patch from all i heard

 

[Gear]

My aim is to keep all these toys in combination with high af and hp (and dex) and a variation of other toa bonuses. All I want to know is how will low resists affect me and to what degree, i.e. is it good to have lots of things to work with in a fight, or just a few as to be able to get in more classic utility?

 

[Mastade]

If you are good at strafing melee wont be such a prob. atleast not with WH, malice charge and the other nifty stuff you got. Tho.. casters will rip you apart, sorcs(body), sms(cold) and so on - the only form of CC you should be scared off is root, so i wouldnt want that low matter tbh.

Must cost a lot when you have "your turn" of arti repairs

 

[Kenshiro]

Like most wardens nowadays, i aimed for the high hp af Bg'er with high "annoyance" capacity (high melee speed, grapple and such...)
This type of play immediately implies that your defences have to be also as high as possible cause mostly you'll be at the center of the action and be the target of the enemy assist train...
Imho you cannot be an effective BG-Grapple-interrupt bot without good resists.

just the thought of another gimp...
