Warden

Feral Guardian
(Situational)
A passive Ultimate you would not use but will give you 12% Magicka Recovery from the Flourish passive by having this slotted. You only need to slot this if you are not using another Animal Companion ability on your front bar.

Screaming Cliff Racer → Morph of Dive
(Situational)
This could be used in fights where you might play at range, you are able to apply Off Balance if you are 7+ metres away from an enemy.

Scorch
(Unnecessary)
Stamina morph could be used when you need to add some damage for solo or hybrid situation. Other morph has AoE Major Breach but you would be better just using Razor Caltrops.

Fetcher Infection → Morph of Swarm
(Vital)
A very important single target skill that causes Minor Vulnerability increasing the damage the target takes by 5%. Removes the need for sets such as Infallible Aether being used.

Blue Betty → Morph of Betty Netch
(Optional)
It’s a free skill so you can spam it for a free purge and it will always tick the first tick of resources so you can spam the skill for endless free resources, this one gives you back Magicka so if you are struggling for Magicka sustain and don’t have access to Balance then this is an option. Usually the other morph is more useful but in Magicka intensive situations such as Cloudrest portals this could be a better option.

Bull Netch → Morph of Betty Netch
(Vital)
This is almost the same as the Blue Betty except you restore Stamina rather than Magicka. This is more likely the option to use for Tanking. You can keep the Netch running at all times and if you hit a situation where you are getting low on Stamina you just spam the free skill for an infinite amount of free Stamina. It also purges you for free.

Deceptive Predator → Morph of Falcon’s Swiftness
(Vital)
You would use this for any situations where you either need a speed boost or you are taking a lot of AoE damage and this will reduce the damage you take from AoE’s. You could use the other morph Bird of Prey for situations to increase your damage.

Bond With Nature
(Vital)
Each time a Animal Companion skill ends you’ll get a heal. Since you would be using Fetcher Infection in every fight you’ll always get a small heal when that ends.

Savage Beast
(Vital)
Just cast Netch every 8 seconds for some extra Ultimate or you’ll get this anyway if you are maintain Fetcher Infection.

Flourish
(Vital)
You want to always have this passive active on the front bar at least if not both bars if that is possible, 12% extra recovery is a lot to miss if you don’t slot an Animal Companion ability.

Advanced Species
(Unnecessary)
Will boost the damage your Fetcher Infection does.

Enchanted Growth → Morph of Fungal Growth
(Vital)
If you are the only Warden in your group, you would cast this at your group if you are in melee range of them for the buffs Minor Intellect and Minor Endurance and it will also give a heal and it’s used to proc your Minor Toughness group buff.

Budding Seeds → Morph of Healing Seed
(Vital)
You would use this as a Tank to give the other Tank in your group a synergy for Alkosh, it also gives a heal but the main reason to use it is the synergy. If you are at range you would use this to proc your Minor Toughness group buff onto your group.

Living Trellis → Morph of Living Vines
(Situational)
A skill worth having but it’s not needed all the time. It applies to you or the lowest health target in front of you and it will give a heal every second and then a heal once the skill ends. If you can proc this on yourself its really helpful for dealing with damage situations and will proc various passives. It’s a decent way to help maintain Stamina as you spend Magicka to cast the skill and then get Magicka and Stamina every second from Natures Gift passive.

Lotus Flower
(Not Needed)

Natures Grasp
(Not Needed)

Nature’s Gift
(Vital)
You can gain Magicka and Stamina every second so if you use any Green Balance skill that will proc this passive and help boost your sustain if you need it.

Emerald Moss
(Vital)
A small boost to your healing with Green Balance abilities for each one you have slotted.

Maturation
(Vital)
This is the Wardens unique group buff, the easiest way to maintain this is by using Enchanted Growth, Budding Seed or Energy Orb depending on your situation.

Sleet Storm
(Optional)
A skill that gives Major Protection, worth having the skill available because you might get asked to use it in some high damage raid executes to help your group survive.

Expansive Frost Cloak → Morph of Frost Cloak
(Vital)
One of the Wardens main group buffs. This more or less gives your whole group Major Resolve and reduces the damage they take so you want to keep this as active as possible. It has a 28 metre range so this is the preferred morph if you are using it for the group utility.

Ice Fortress → Morph of Frost Cloak
(Unnecessary)
This is the more selfish morph, it still gives the group buff but has such a small range its not a viable way to put Major Resolve on the whole group for the majority of situations. You gain Minor Protection when you cast this which will reduce your damage taken but you can obtain this by slotting Temporal Guard but generally Minor Protection is not worth it because its such a small buff you can manage fine without it.

Gripping Shards → Morph of Impaling Shards
(Vital)
This is the Wardens immobilising skill that also reduces movement speed and can proc the Chilled effect and Minor Brittle if wielding a Frost Staff, its actually a decent Tank damage ability also, since the damage scales with your Max Health.

Winter’s Revenge → Morph of Impaling Shards
(Optional)
This morph works better when trying to maintain Minor Brittle in trials because Gripping Shards only activates around you where as this morph can be places in a location of your choosing.

Polar Wind → Morph of Artic Blast
(Vital)
A really nice burst heal that also heals one other person and it scales from your Max Health so its a pretty big heal. The heal can crit and also be boosted by other modifiers such as Major Mending from your Green Balance passives so it can turn into a huge heal in the correct situation. You also get a small Heal over time and it does a little bit of damage.

Shimmering Shield → Morph of Crystallized Shield
(Vital)
This is a great skill for any situation where you take projectile damage. It’s such a huge shield that you don’t even need to block when you have this active as it will eat up the whole projectile damage and the shield can be hit up to 3 times. If that wasn’t strong enough you also gain back a lot of Magicka each time you absorb a projectile and gain Major Heroism which really can boost your Ultimate gain a lot to gain back your Horns really fast.

Frozen Device → Morph of Frozen Gate
(Situational)
This is the Wardens version of a chain, it can be really great if used correctly but a often its not completely viable because it can be slow and inaccurate compared to Silver Leash. If you are in a fight where the adds are moving to a particular location or you know where they spawn then this is when this ability is amazing, so things like Arenas and certain trials. You can pre-place 3 Frozen Devices on the ground in the locations you know the adds will be. The devices will stay on the ground for 30 seconds or until they get used so if you know where adds spawn, you place the Device and when the add walks onto it they teleport straight to you and become Major Maimed also.

Frozen Armor
(Vital)
You will always have some Winters Embrace skills slotted so this will just increase your resistances which are worth taking as a Tank.

Icy Aura
(Vital)
Really useful passive for any fights where there might be snares and it will reduce their effectiveness.

Piercing Cold
(Unnecessary)
Increases your damage, you can use it if you want.
