[PMB]Damnatio's warden guide.

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:

• Rotations:

Dps:

Single target
+++++
And repeat the sequance.

AOE:
+++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

oror
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

Thank you for reading!
See you in game!
