Warden/Druid

Is warden/druid a good support class endgame? Are they wanted in parties for their healing and buffs? Also is the pet they get any useful. I heard it buffs the party with DPS buffs and cleanse them. Any help is appreciated.

A bit necro, surprised no one answered this by now. As far as I know, Wd/D is great for solo, but not sure if is reliable for end game as Wd/S is.

It's definitely not as reliable as Wd/S now after the patch. They got a taunt, which they really can't use, and a decent nerf to their heal from charged chop. Wd/S has pretty significant dps, while Wd/D was always just a support class in end game instances, and now, it's even more confused. Wd/R is actually pretty decent now, not really sure about Wd/M and well Wd/W was a beast tank, and now its a pretty beast floor hugger with the enormous drop in pdef. But yeah, Wd/D is a pretty messed up class at endgame, but good for soloing earlier on.

Warden/Scout is a dps class, like Warrior. So to compare Warden/Druid vs. Warden/Scout is like comparing Knight vs. Warrior.

Did anyone see the new small change for Oak? 25% to 65% defense seem very big. With other Warden/Druid elite it probably close to 100% I don't know about old Warden player but the new Warden Druid sound more like a tank than a support.

Could this mean Warden Druid will tank better than Warden Warrior since they can take more beating?

seriously, i never understand why everyone keep treating Warden/Druid healing as such important. If you stat as Warden should and not druid should, your healing amount probably bad anyway (unless you stat wisdom and healing bonus but in that case, why not just go play Druid) why depend so much on Warden to heal. It's like complain K/P should Urgent Heal more. There is no hybrid build in this game remember?

Wrdn/D .... Having a taunt and high PDF does not a tank make. We have ZERO aggro control. Sure they added a bit to Blade of Protection and sure they added aggro to Cross Chop while Spirit of the Oak is out, but in my attempts to tank, I could not hold aggro at all. The only time I had aggro was from my first Cross Chop, then the dps took aggro. I hit the new Briar taunt and turned the boss, but only for a blink of an eye. Sure I can take a beating but I cannot control aggro especially with a 4 min CD on the only aggro device I have.

Still patching... Did they change Wood Spirit Essence to a flat 100 points of earth dmg like originally stated in the first blunder? Is control magic working again? Anyone noticing any other changes that might have gone in that the patch notes do not mention?




Finally got in to check. Magic Control is still borked.
