Tanking is broken. It's all I've looked into and all that I care to do with my warden. Maybe wardens are great DPS now, but I don't care. I don't want to DPS with mine.I don't have an issue with the change in buffs and these "finishing blows." It ...

Unfortunately, wardens don't get very good at tanking until level 60 when Exultation of Battle is learned. Going off of the wiki for what gambits are learned at what levels now, I've put together a small guide for trying to tank as you level up. N...

Since I was recently asked about how I know which gambits are more powerful threat-wise, I bring you this post. Information is courtesy of forum posts by Graalx2, former Turbine dev that created the warden class and went on to oversee changes to o...

I wrote a topic for tips on healing a warden, but I've recently been reminded that non-healers also often don't have a clue what to do with a warden tank. Read everything if you want to know the "whys" and "hows" or skip to the "What to do" sectio...

I cover a lot of warden stuff with regard to tanking, but I am going to lay out what I know of warden dps, specifically melee dps. I never dps in a raid, so this largely comes from my own experience soloing and what I've read. Don't consider anyth...

This is how I tank as a warden. I'm certainly not the best and I'm thinking about a few things, but this so far has been a result of a lot of reading and my own experiences. First of all, my traits for tanking are: Shield / blue Skillful Blocking...

I'm going to outline how I memorized gambits. I'm hoping this makes things easier for those already with wardens and less intimidating for people who might want to start one. After all, the gambit system is probably the biggest factor in scaring p...

I play a warden and I've healed them in groups before, so I wanted to share some tips for those healing wardens. For those that find this old news, I'd like to share perspective on why things are the way they are.Small Fellowships: Depending on th...

There is a pretty standard layout to the keys wardens hit most: 1-spear builder, 2-shield builder, 3-fist builder, 4-gambit key. So much so that instead of using "spear" or "sp" for short, people can just say 1. Laying out masteries on the other h...

I wanted to briefly cover what wardens can do in a raid and what they cannot do, at least from what I can see.1. TankWardens can and have tanked every fight that has been successfully tanked so far, to my knowledge. Now, I cannot say that I or my ...

No one here posts much about the warden and I feel like writing, so I'm going to give an overview of how the warden works now. I'm certainly no expert, given that my own warden is only 62. I'll try to supplement what I know or have observed with w...

There is a lot of misinformation floating around out there regarding some of the new & changed warden skills that came with RoI (especially on the official lotro forums). But fear not, I am here to provide you with edumacation.Never Surrender ...
