Wardens

[Cimon]

Hi all... was wondering. U hib guys, is it possible to play a warden thats able to kill stuff? I you spec high blade or blunt do they then have some ok damage or are they sucky melee char no matter what u do?
Was thinking of rolling a warden on excal with high blades.

Hope to get some good answers. Thx all.

In short a no no to high weapon spec for 'normal rvr'

if you want to kill stuff(as melee), why not make a vampiir or a bm insted?

 

[Xxcalibur]

wardens are deffensive players tbh

 

[Dorin]

buff - grapple - afk - heal

:F

what about bodyguard?

Hero's and VW's have all those toys, plus they can kill things.

They dont have all those toys

If you wanna kill as a tank..roll a BM atm. Roll a warden if you want to make sure other people can kill.

nurf heroes with buffs and heals

 

[Kinag]

Or just make a Friar with BG, Heals, Damage (if specced that way), grapple, buffs xD

Or just go the way I did, Heals & grapple :-/ givf ml8.

what about bodyguard?

this is on the caster you are /stuck to the entire fight

 

[Jupiter]

givf slam, i'll tie all u offensive tanks up de paboer and drop twf 4twn... /wanders off for more worms

Warden is a nice defensive grp char, but you can kill in 1on1s as well. Through the battlemaster styles the dmg is really nice and if you use tools like battlerdebuff and the warden rr5 ra (+essence flames) the dmg can get great tbh.
I dont think warden is a bad melee char, but you dont need to have a high weapon spec, i've 29+16 atm and it works good. <:

thats the elapsed time between grapple and afk stance

have had some good 1v1s with lupa, is nasty not to be able to use 2h much with bt in the way :/
but really a warden probably does need grapple+twf to beat most melee classes, espeically a dual wielder

 

[Ethild]

Yeah, dual wielders or anything that swings resonably fast is a no no.

Skalds are a good oponent to fight, you are reistant to their shout and they can swing slow. It's harder now we can't twist PBT anymore though.

Winning a 1v1 for me, normally depends on either me TWF+Grappling, or traitors chain proccing so u've 7 mists or so up at once (Hi Gamah!). In a fight I would spam 4 end saps, 5 power saps, then the rest of the time spamming buff strip styles, all from BM line.

 

[Lupa]

Elendar is a pretty hard 1on1 enemy, the hardest I met up to now.
But usually it's no problem to beat melee classes with battlerdebuff, rr5 ra and essence flames spam... if these tools are down and the enemy is not beatable -> twf+grapple.
The common infil, scout, sb, hunter 1on1s should be no problem for a warden with a good toa template and purge2.

PS.: Elendar I hope I can get a new 1on1 vs you soon, the warden rr5ra gave me a little boost and the most important -> just ONE zephyr in a single fight now <;

 

[Succi]

can always just run off with perma sprint

 

[Elitestoner]

wardens couldnt kill a buffbot if tehy tried ;D

 

[stupeh]

where you'd just zerg it with a fg and bomb it to make sure !

yeh and they chain bm styles with no end reduction buff...

 

[Elendar]

having only a hero for bg would work fine i think, only a vw wouldn't, people ma a hero it takes a while to drop, they ma a vw and its gonna drop much faster, plus can be easily killed when rezzed
