Hello everyone.

My in game character is named Damnatio , lv. 65 kanian druid from guild Avarice on Smugglers Paradise.
I have been playing warden for a while, and i would like to show to the new players and possibly to some that want to try this class, what is warden really about.

Changes with 6.0:

New race introduced, Priden.
New rubie sets

First strike rubies: If combat wit or static charge are not applied, 1st melee atack does 1/2/3 combat wit.

Static Electricity rubies: If combat wit or static charge are not applied, 1st lighting attack does 1/2/3 static charges.

Grasping Roots rubies: Every 2 seconds, there is a chance to imobilize the targets in the area of Nature's Grip.

Stone Soup rubie: Allows making potions without ingredients from Kingdom of Nature, but at a 400% mana cost.

Chapter one: Races
There are 5 races that you might choose, as it follows:

The League:

~~Racial abilitySummons pet and restores 30% health/energy

~~Racial abilityHeals a target for a given ammount.

The Empire:

Introduction

Warden is a very interesting class, able to do best Dps and heals in game, if played right.
That's why i recommend to choose one speciality, rather than try to be an all around player.

Every warden has pet energy bar

and every time you use pet's skills, energy will be consumed.
Every warden has 2 abilities from world mysteries :

Distributes the health of all party evenly between each member.

Brews a Refreshing potion, that removes all impairing effects and increases moving speed by 25% for 15 sek.

+

+single target rotation
Do not use aoe in long fights(3 bosses in astral or such), go single target in that case.
Shaman's flame in aoee only if you got the racial.

Heal
Heal doesnt have a rotation per say, however there are tips i can give you:

Use only for aoe heal, not for every little thing.
Keep dot on the tank.
Use your pet skills for static charges and luck
Use martyr spell and potion to heal yourself, and use for defences.
Lastly, use for sticky situations.

Chapter three: stats and weapons

As a weapon i have found two handed spear to be the best for dps, and 2 handed gives a lot of mana too.
Stats:

For healing and dps in astral and such

Proficiency: 50+

Brutality: 30

Determintion: rubies

Anger:

Vitality: 50+

Willpower: 5-15

Bloodlust:

Tenacity: 10+ for s2/yellow zone, 20+ for s3/red zone

For raids

Proficiency: 50+

Brutality: 50
Deffensive stats same.
Chapter four: Reincarnation skills

For dps

or

They all help in pve dps, i'd recommend flash or barrier though

For heal

or

Healer is such a mana sponge, therefore i have been using engineer magnetic field reinc skill, at lv. 65 it gives 6k mana every minute.

Final chapter: conclusion

I would like to write at the end some small tips for beginner wardens:

Always keep vortex precasted as dps
Always have 8 charges of natural energy for healing
Send pet way after each fight
Use pet skills and your own to attack while healing, for static charges and to make full use of your increase luck rubies
Be carefull when you switch targets to attack while healing, to not hit a cc-ed target
Do not use renew to heal 1 person, use it when aoe heals needed.
Use martyr and healing pots to heal yourself
