Warden in PVP

[ARC-1276]

So how's your experience with the class in PVP? Because I'm hearing completely different stories from what I'm seeing of Warden. People are saying it's an easy plat class, but honestly it could be a number of things that's getting people playing them to plat.

 

Personal experience tells me that Warden is bugged and needs patching since half its CCs don't apply, its skills take too long to cast, and on top of that Blade Ward is an inconsistent buff.

For me Warden is not as easy class as it may seems in pvp. when i get cced its kind of hard not to use your only escape skill which is tab. for me skill 1 is so useless because of warden's slow animation. its true aswell half of the cc don't apply. so yea its super easy in pve but in pvp its like your a literal punching bag

i agree

its hard for me pvping as warden we dont have as many resis moves as other powers and not that many escape moves we only got 1 when other powers have like 3 or 4

I'd say Warden is an easy class when playing against anyone who doesn't know how to deal with Wardens.

Insane damage, big contingency on resists, scrapton of HP supported by good healing capabilities, and topping it off an instant-cast soulburn. And people still not getting the Blade Ward buff. Just let them tire themselves out, then strike back.

It does have about just as many downsides to it, though: Lack of reliable CC's (most are either low range AoE's, or don't have defense/parry penetration, or both), lack of Escapes (the only melee class without a ground counter?), comparatively low movement (1-2 charge skills, stepping back after they used one already gives you quite some breathing room) and slow attack animations without cancelling (this is why the defense breaker despite working on ground counters rarely ever connects to them).

And if you can't cover for all that, you'll have a hard time fighting against expert players.

I Agree, just entered PVP for the first time as a new player. Getting mopped up after CC's.
