Hello....
I play a level 40 Warden,Geared by doing quests.
Id like get some input on how to play her and what her role is in game,, Allah says Im a tank and I think Im a tank,, she Holds agro very will and out DPS's most tanks Ive grouped with,, but my Kinship( all 60 plus,, so no grps, just nice banter ) says Im strictly a DPSer and can do light tank duty,, so basically Im a utility class??,, fill the roll as it comes and that is fine,, Im used to that role(80 EQ ranger).
Ive mostly soloed all fellowship tasks,very few did I need help on,,,little time watching mobs pathing and clearing away adds is about all Ive needed to do so far ,, allmost been to easy,, hence I say Im a tank that DPs's very well, along with my HoTs not much yet I cant do solo..LOL except 2 Garth arwen tasks and the last Barrows.
I can find very little usefull information online due to Wardens being a new class, which is fine ,, I like learning as I go.(and a lil advice here and there )
So 1st..
1.. Whats my role in a group setting, fellowship tasks and raids when that day comes.
If Im not a tank, How come I take agro Np off the so called tanks and if Im a DPSer,, that mean I just toss my spear as my DoTs dont land unless Im upclose Tanking the mob,, Im at a loss here.
.. Seems most I play with dont know my role either,, Like when haveing to pull a mob,, I can stun when throwing my spear and run up knock heck outta the mob before it gets up,, but every class I play with wont let me do this.,, Where I see most times Id be the best puller, better than a similar lvled Hunter,, In some instances I can see where a Hunter can and would be better,, but aint seen it so far.
2.. I feel Might, agi and fate to be what I should work the most?? open here for advice.
3..Virtues,, what would you suggest, at moment my race virtues are the 1s that help my HoTs.( still new so I forget what they are called).Regular virtues I use amor amd any Might,agi and fate stats.
4.. When I am soloing Ill stun pull, run up hit mob,gambit up a DoT followed by a HoT and next Ill gambit up a shield,, rinse and repeat the same steps till mob or Mobs are down,, if the later and 2 or more I just gambit HoTs n DoTs till mobs are down or I run outta power(mana). any other ideas out there ??.
5..This is the question I d like some input on more than any,,, weapons, I can use Long/short swords,axes,blunts and spears,, seems Im favored to use spear according to the gambits,,how they are writ out, that I do more Damage with spears over the other weapons?? Is this the way its writ in gambit descriptions or is spear being writ as an OVERALL statement about weapons in general ??..Ok basically is the spear say 15.5 delay and 18 common damage ,still be better than say a axe with same stats,, I have at Moment a Blunt that is better than my spear as far as Damage and stats.
6.. Do I ever get any range to make Kiting a viable source, as of now kiting a pain in the $%^^.
Thanks Ive got a thousand more ,, start with these 6 and go from there,, Ive yet meet any Wardens online that are willing to talk about the class and those that are havent played a Warden.
And last thing, I enjoy the game very much,, but I find it very hard to make friends In game,, folks want grp to get a fellowship task done and than No thanks or Goodbye they just leave,,I find that very strange as maybe there is another that can be done together or hell just a Virtue grind,, I dont speak much in grps( EQ habits, Folks dont like a talker when doing hard content),, but I do say Hi, welcome,thanks and goodbye... Isnt it time , now to make your friendships that ud like to carry till end game or those virtue grinds or hell just some comrodery,, more you play with someone better you become as a team.
5 years in EQ ,, without friends Id be nothing in the game.
Just a thought and thanks for any and all repies.
Oh and I hate Runekeepers, 5 duels all RKs,, cant hit the lil freaks,, No Stun or root,, how hell am I to whup a RK if Turbine dont give me the tools to do the job,, any Ideas here as well would be great,, LOL I want whup 1 dang it :-p. so far Im 0 for 5 and 2 where lower levels .
